You own a home on the East End. You live in New York City, New Jersey, or somewhere else entirely. We are your local presence — year-round, on-call, and fully accountable for keeping your Hamptons investment protected.
Many of our property management clients own significant homes in Southampton, East Hampton, Bridgehampton, Montauk, and surrounding communities — and they live in New York City or elsewhere. They visit for weekends in season, rent the home out for all or part of the summer, and leave it vacant through the fall, winter, and spring.
That ownership model creates a persistent management challenge: a property that needs attention all year, from a location that makes showing up in person genuinely difficult. Finding a plumber after a pipe bursts on a Saturday in February. Coordinating a pool opening before Memorial Day weekend. Checking whether the roof held up after a January nor'easter. Handling a tenant complaint at 7pm on a Friday night during peak summer.
We solve all of it. We are based in Quogue, in the heart of the Hamptons, and we work directly with every client — no teams, no handoffs, no call centers. When you call, you reach the broker directly.
"We bought in Bridgehampton six years ago and never once managed it ourselves. Montauk Dunes handles everything — we show up in June and the house is ready. We leave in September and they close it. The whole year runs without us worrying about it."
— Absentee owner, Bridgehampton, NY
Our absentee owner program is a complete year-round service covering every aspect of property care, from seasonal opening and closing to ongoing vacant property monitoring to rental management. You choose the level of service that matches your needs.
Regular interior and exterior inspections on a schedule you choose — bi-weekly, monthly, or weekly. Written report and photos after every visit. Immediate notification when problems are found.
Vacant Property Checks →Complete fall closing — plumbing winterization, HVAC service, pool closing, exterior securing — and monitoring through the off-season so your home is protected all winter.
Winter Care →We coordinate the complete spring opening — plumbing restoration, pool opening, HVAC cooling season service, irrigation startup, deep cleaning, and a pre-arrival report before you drive out.
Seasonal Opening →Pre-storm securing and post-storm inspection with photo documentation for insurance claims. We are your eyes and hands on the East End when a hurricane or nor'easter threatens.
Storm Services →We have relationships with trusted local contractors for every trade — plumbing, HVAC, roofing, electrical, carpentry. We get quotes, supervise work, and ensure quality without you needing to be present.
Maintenance →If you rent your Hamptons home — seasonally or year-round — we handle tenant screening, leases, rent collection, check-in/check-out, and ongoing tenant management.
Tenant Services →We start with a conversation — a 20-minute call to understand your property, your situation, how often you're there, whether you rent it out, and what your biggest concerns are. From that, we put together a specific service recommendation and pricing, and you decide what level of involvement you want us to have.
There is no minimum commitment and no enrollment fee. Most absentee owners start with our monthly vacant property check service and add seasonal opening, winter closing, and maintenance coordination as they see how the service works.
