ala Sander's journey to becoming one of the East End's top real estate agents is a testament to her unwavering dedication and passion for empowering others. With over two decades of experience, she has consistently ranked among the highest in sales volume, but it's not just about personal achievement – it's about building a legacy.

    At the helm of The Corcoran Group's number one team on the East End for three consecutive years, Sander has cultivated a powerhouse of talent that extends far beyond her own expertise. Her team, comprising her daughter Tina Pignatelli, salespeople Kyle Koz and Chris Carney, and operations manager Chelsea Lillie, is a finely-tuned machine that operates with seamless collaboration.

    Sander's background in corporate leadership and marketing at IBM has given her a unique edge in the luxury real estate market. Born in India and raised on the tri-state area, she discovered the Hamptons in the 1980s through her husband Jeff, whose family had built a home in Sag Harbor since 1950. The couple eventually settled in North Haven full-time in 2000, and Sander launched her real estate career the following year.

    As her business grew exponentially, Sander brought her daughter aboard to join forces. Koz and Carney soon followed, with Lillie expertly managing the team's behind-the-scenes operations. "Chelsea is the heartbeat of our team," Sander says. "She keeps everything running smoothly, from scheduling to paperwork – she's the glue that holds us together."

    The Mala Sander+Team's success can be attributed to their unwavering commitment to collaboration and client satisfaction. They offer concierge services that extend far beyond the transaction itself, connecting clients with top-tier professionals for everything from architectural design to restaurant reservations.

    For sellers, Sander and her team pride themselves on providing expert pricing advice to maximize value. "We give our clients the best possible guidance to get the top dollar for their listing," she says. "And when we receive an offer, we're strong negotiators to secure the best deal."

    The team's current listings showcase their expertise in luxury real estate. 2 West Water Street, Unit B, in Sag Harbor is a stunning waterfront townhouse with breathtaking 360-degree views of Sag Harbor Cove and the bay beyond. The property boasts 12,000 square feet, four levels, and a glass-enclosed elevator – a true masterpiece.

    Another standout listing is 26 Redcoats Lane, a European-inspired estate on nearly two acres in North Haven Point. With its Mediterranean-style architecture, grand foyer, and sweeping staircase, this property is an incredible value at $5.7 million.

    Whether buying or selling, the Mala Sander+Team offers an unparalleled real estate experience that sets them apart from the rest. For more information about how they can help you achieve your real estate goals, visit malasander.com or follow @malasander on Instagram.
