Property Management
Southampton & East Hampton

Full-service property management for Hamptons homeowners — vacant property checks, winter care, seasonal opening, storm response, tenant placement, rent collection, and eviction services. Personal attention from a licensed NY broker who knows this market.

For Absentee Owners & Seasonal Homeowners

The majority of Hamptons properties sit vacant for weeks or months at a time. Whether your home is a seasonal getaway, a rental investment, or a primary residence you travel from, we provide the local presence and professional oversight that protects your investment year-round.

Vacant Property Checks

Regular professional inspections of your unoccupied home — interior and exterior — with written reports and photos after every visit. We catch leaks, HVAC failures, pest intrusion, and storm damage before they become expensive emergencies. Insurance-compliant documentation included.

Property Management FAQ

Do you check on vacant homes in the off-season?

Yes — this is one of our most important services for absentee owners. We conduct regular vacant property inspections on a schedule you choose (bi-weekly during winter, monthly otherwise), provide a written report and photos after every visit, and respond immediately if we find a problem. Many insurance policies require documented regular inspections of vacant homes — our service provides that record.

Do you handle winterization and spring opening?

Yes. We coordinate complete fall closings — plumbing winterization, pool closing, HVAC service, exterior securing — and complete spring openings — plumbing restoration, pool opening, HVAC cooling season service, irrigation startup, and deep cleaning. We also handle storm preparation and post-storm inspection for major weather events.

Do you manage seasonal rentals in the Hamptons?

Yes — seasonal and summer rentals are a core part of our property management service across Southampton and East Hampton. We handle tenant screening, leases, check-in/check-out, and all coordination specific to seasonal Hamptons rentals.

What does property management cost in Southampton and East Hampton?

We offer both flat-fee and percentage-of-rent pricing depending on the scope of services. Contact us directly for a quote tailored to your property — pricing varies based on whether you need tenant placement only, full management, vacant property monitoring, or a complete absentee owner program.

Do you handle the rental permit requirements in Southampton and East Hampton?

Yes. Both Southampton and East Hampton have specific rental permit, registry, and inspection requirements for landlords. We help our clients understand and comply with all local rental regulations to avoid fines and legal exposure.

Can you manage my property if I'm not local?

Absolutely — most of our landlord and seasonal homeowner clients are based in New York City or out of state. We act as your local eyes and ears year-round, handling everything on the ground so you don't need to be present. See our absentee owner services page for the full picture.

Do you handle evictions in New York?

We provide eviction coordination and guidance — proper notice preparation, documentation, and attorney referrals. New York eviction proceedings require a licensed attorney for court appearance; we work alongside experienced local eviction counsel to protect your interests.
