"We owned a house on the water on Brennans Moor in Water Mill. The house was designed for us by a local architect who was a protege of Norman Jaffe. We had the home for over 30 years, with such wonderful memories including having our daughter married there. When it came time to sell, we interviewed several brokers and chose Marc Heskell. He turned out to be an excellent choice. This process started five years before we actually listed the property. In preparation for presenting the property to the market, Marc and his team conducted an extensive analysis of all aspects, including land use analysis, wetland flagging, documenting what could be built, etc. He was pleasure to work with and extremely knowledgeable. He and his team curated an extremely compelling presentation of the property and its potential. The house sold in just few weeks for substantially more than our asking price due in large part to his efforts. He was a invaluable asset to us and I unhesitatingly recommend him."

"Marc is a consummate real estate professional and has an incredible eye for detail and value. He went the extra mile in every aspect of the process from selecting neighborhoods, identifying potential wetland and easement issues, through inspection and closing. From the early days of our relationship, Marc made us feel like lifelong friends and had our back at every possible corner without ever putting any pressure on us to transact whatsoever. We couldn't possibly speak more highly of an agent or a new home purchase experience. Marc seems to know and understand the micro markets in all areas of the Hamptons, and we couldn't endorse him with any more confidence or conviction. Also, Marc was invaluable in recommending the key parties that helped us redefine the property, including an excellent builders, landscape designers, subcontractors and more. "

"We originally met Marc at an open house for a waterfront property he represented. The house was not for us, but Marc took our information and diligently followed up. He put the time into getting to know us and understand what we were looking for as a family in terms of type of property, neighborhood, and budget. He stuck with us and patiently showed us many properties over a period of over three years. One day we got a call from Marc that a property, which we loved but had been out of our price range, was being taken off the market. He advised us to make an offer we felt comfortable with and was able to negotiate a price significantly lower than the original asking price. Marc has also been instrumental in helping us renovate our home, introducing us to several builders, landscape architects, designers and more, so we could hear from different viewpoints and decide which most suited us. With Marc's help we have been able to transform the property he helped us buy and guided us through the process each step of the way. Marc is a consummate professional and knows the Hamptons inside and out. We are extremely grateful to Marc for finding us and helping reimagine our property as if it was his own."

"My husband and I decided it was time to look for a vacation beach home. We found a listing we really liked online and decided to call the broker. Little did we know the broker we were calling was an expert in Hamptons real estate! That broker was Marc and he unfortunately broke the news that his bayfront listing had just gone into contract. Marc assured us we would find something else! Marc was an amazing resource for real estate in the Hamptons, he knew specific village, town and environmental requirements and helped guide us to an informed decision. During a very competitive landscape and limited inventory of waterfront properties, Marc was able to help us find our dream home on the ocean! He went above and beyond in all aspects of our transaction, finding us the best attorney, insurance agents and contractors. He immediately made us feel very welcome to enjoying our living out East! We are grateful to call him a fabulous realtor and friend. "

"It has been an absolute pleasure working with Marc and his team over the past few years, starting from the initial purchase of our home in East Hampton to the subsequent annual rental process. Marc’s understanding of the local housing market enabled him to show us homes that aligned with our specific needs, emphasizing quality over quantity. They provided us with support and guidance during every stage of the home-buying process with his meticulous attention to detail and personal dedication. Even after the closing, Marc's commitment remained unwavered with him introducing us to local businesses and professionals. Marc and his team’s excellent work now continues as he skillfully negotiates on our behalf the best deal for the rental of our home. His genuine passion for his work and clients is evident as he consistently goes above and beyond the expectations of a real estate agent. "

"In the sea of real estate agents, only the best stand out! Marc is definitely the best and we are so grateful for him. He’s honest and loves what he does and it shows. We had only rented previously in the Hamptons and did not know the area that well so we needed someone who was extremely knowledgeable before we purchased in the Hamptons. He was recommended by a real estate agent in New York City who heard that he had a great reputation, so we entrusted him to help us buy a home. He not only found us are dream home, he was super patient, stayed within our budget, and guided us through the entire sale with super ease. He was never pushy and in fact, talked us out of another house that was more expensive because he felt we would get better value and be happier in the house that we are in. We have referred them to close friends of ours, and they said exactly the same thing. We highly recommend him and know that you will be so happy working with him because he is the best and such a nice guy. "

"Our family recently purchased a home in East Hampton. The purchase was complicated, and Marc’s team did an incredible job helping us navigate it. Right from the start we knew he was different than other brokers. He cared to get to know our family and what was important to us in purchasing a home. Each house he showed us made sense and Marc remained patient and determined until we found the right one. Their knowledge, experience and attention to detail was an asset from the beginning of the process to close. In addition, Marc continues to be someone we rely on. He’s always available for any questions, help or issues that pop up. We love our house and are very grateful for all Marc and his team did.

We would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy, sell, rent or invest in the Hamptons. "

"Selecting a listing agent to sell my mother’s home was a difficult decision. I interviewed several agents from different agencies and I’m really glad to have had the opportunity to work with Marc and his team. From the start, Marc provided clear communication and identified key aspects relevant to the market. The team’s due diligence and knowledge of critical facts related to the property were essential to the successful sale. For example, getting the land use analysis completed before listing was very smart and effective. Marc was fully prepared, so he had the answers on hand when the buyers appeared. I appreciated the work they did to carefully curate the listing. But moreover, Marc went above and beyond assisting with all aspects of preparing the property, landscaping, freshening the interior, staging, etc. Throughout the process they were attentive and courteous to the needs of my family with great communication. I am sincerely grateful for the opportunity to work with Marc and his team. "

My wife and I were both born and raised in Sag Harbor and shared the common dream of having our forever home in North Haven. While standing in the driveway of the house that we desired, our very first phone call was to Marc. After knowing him for many years we trusted him implicitly in what we knew could be a long drawn-out short sale process. While at times we thought we would have to give up, Marc stayed the course. His knowledge, compassion and can-do attitude is what has us in the house we have called home for nine years. He is not only deeply experienced in the world of real estate, but all that comes along with it. His commitment to his work and clients speaks for itself.

For us, there is only one real estate agent in the Hamptons. Marc Heskell.
