Happy Fourth! I hope you're having a wonderful celebration, ongoing after celebrating Pride month! I was especially proud to celebrate Pride with friends, colleagues, and especially members of my team. And other things to note:
- Proud - maybe more than ever - to be an American and celebrate the Fourth of July this year now that it truly feels like we've made it through this pandemic.
- Proud to now have a federally recognized day to celebrate the end of slavery on Juneteenth.
- Proud to be recognized by RealTrends 2021 and the Wall Street Journal as one of the top real estate agents in the country, on the East End, and the #1 agent in Sag Harbor for 2020!
Happy Celebrating! In between parties and BBQs, here are some things you might want to check out!
You're probably aware of Gucci finding a permanent home in East Hampton, but did you know they're carrying exclusive capsule collections paying homage to the East End?
In similar fashion, but like a short-term rental, Valentino just popped up with their "escape" capsule in Southampton until July 28th, and a Dolce & Gabbana airstream is traveling to the East End.
While New York's own Proenza Schouler will be in East Hampton until the end of the year, where else would the effortlessly fun and colorful Marni find a home other than at Sunset Beach on Shelter Island?
And LOEWE finally moved into the old Ryland spot in Sag Harbor for the summer, carrying their iconic, Ibiza-inspired Paula's collection! Not to worry, Ryland just moved into the larger space next door, which used to be Corcoran's Sag Harbor office.
With the market's low inventory, we know homes are already selling at a premium, but how can you get even more for your home? Staging is like fashion for your home, and can increase a home's value by 20%!
Even virtual staging is a thing now! Check out 2 Actor's Colony to see the before and after pictures of our virtual staging in action.
Speaking of stage... live shows are finally back! And we are so ready!
Feel the summer vibes with iconic Southern California band Sublime at The Clubhouse on July 16th.
Tickets just went on sale for SBaytreet Theatre's Camelot, which will be an immersive, outdoor experience, with shows starting August 5th. Can't wait!
For a chill afternoon or evening... or afternoon into evening, check out the 6 Sceniest Wineries on the North and South Forks.
Tina and I are currently obsessing over berry vinaigrettes. This Escarole and Olive Salad with Raspberry Dressing is the perfect summer salad and you can make a variation with any type of berry you pick up from your local farmstand!
