HAMPTONS TOP POWER BROKERS “GO-TO MAN,” GARY DEPERSIA By Blaire Bass
G
ary DePersia’s name has become synonymous with the best in Hamptons real estate. From Southampton to Montauk and from Sagaponack to Shelter Island, Gary has participated in over $2 billion of real estate transactions since 1995. With hundreds of his exclusive listings sold and closed, as well as matching hundreds of his own buyers and renters with the right properties, Gary’s more than 22 years in Hamptons luxury real estate has generated benchmark sales. You may have heard people refer to him in real estate circles as the “go-to man.” Consistently ranked among the top producers in the Hamptons, and a year-on-year member of The Corcoran Group President’s Council, Gary has qualified as a national list name since 2007.
In 2008, he was Corcoran’s top broker on the East End by sales volume and rental units, and ranked as the nation’s No. 4 top broker. In the 2017 REAL Trends and the Wall Street Journal list of America’s top real estate professionals, he was designated No. 26 nationally, No. 4 in the Hamptons, and No. 3 at Corcoran overall by volume, with nearly $200 million of transactions for the past year. Gary realized early on the importance of deep local knowledge and the benefits of expert marketing, which other brokers have come to emulate. Knowing each buyer or renter has his or her own idea of what defines a personal Hamptons experience, he is well versed on the inventory of each village and hamlet on the East End. To whet your appetite, take a look at two of his exquisite listings.
ON THE WATERFRONT WITH A DOCK 57 LAKE DRIVE, SOUTHAMPTON This inviting two-bedroom, two-bath retreat with a dock, poised on 1.3 acres along 300 feet of Peconic Bay, was completely renovated several years ago. The 2,000-square-foot traditional on two floors of living space features a sensible floor plan with water views from every room. The home is centered around the large living room with fireplace and doors that lead to the expansive deck overlooking the water. Breakfast, lunch, and dinners are prepared in the updated, fully equipped, eatin kitchen with adjacent laundry room. A separate den/media room leads to the new master bedroom suite on the far end of the house. A separate guest bedroom with adjacent sleep loft accessed by its own staircase is serviced by a separate full
bath. Outside water vistas abound from an expansive deck furnished with both an umbrella-covered table and comfortable lounging chairs. Verdant lawn runs down to the completely rebuilt dock (equipped with water and electricity), which will provide safe haven for a boat up to almost 30 feet. Head over to Sunset Beach on Shelter Island for Sunday cocktails or to Sag Harbor for dinner, both so close. But on clear evenings eat early as you might want to get back for some of the most beautiful sunsets anywhere, as the sun seems to disappear over the North Fork somewhere into Long Island Sound, leaving the horizon a purplish haze. Priced to sell at $2,395,000. Social Life
