athy Tweedy is a Hamptons real estate expert with a unique blend of Manhattan's high-powered advertising world and Bridgehampton's backyard charm. As a veteran broker, she brings poise, sharp market acumen, and subtle wit to her clients navigating the complex Hamptons market.

    With decades-long experience in both buying and selling properties, Cathy's style is far from superficial. Beneath her polished exterior lies a deeply experienced broker with firsthand knowledge of every side of the deal. Her marketing mind gives her an edge when positioning a property, while her transparent, data-informed approach has earned her a devoted following.

    As 2025 unfolds, Cathy's insight is more valuable than ever. I caught up with her in Bridgehampton to discuss market trends, what's changing, and how she continues to turn quiet confidence into lasting success.

    Cathy's background in high-level marketing has shaped the way she approaches real estate today. "What made me successful in advertising is the same skill set that drives my real estate business—listening to people, understanding and caring about their needs, and delivering on them," she says.

    The Hamptons market in 2025 feels unique due to big economic changes and lifestyle shifts. Buyers want space, comfort, and the ability to work remotely, making buying a home more than just an investment. While inventory is growing, it's still lower than pre-pandemic options, so Cathy advises buyers to be ready to move when they find the right home.

    Cathy's listings are tailored, elevated, and strategic. She positions homes for maximum impact by understanding their features, benefits, and unique attributes, crafting messages that address each buyer's objective, and selecting the right mix of media to reach them.

    Social media has become an essential tool for agents, but Cathy balances digital engagement with her classically refined style by defining a brand voice and style that is consistent across all communication channels. Each channel, message, and post should offer value, whether it's market insight or a new property launch.

    Cathy is known for her discretion and data-driven advice. One negotiation story highlights her approach to advocating for clients: she once used the seller's extensive art collection as leverage to bridge the gap between buyer and seller prices.

    As a multifaceted expert who has been a buyer, seller, developer, and landlord herself, Cathy guides clients with a seasoned perspective. She speaks from real-world experience, making her more than just a theorist.

    When not working, Cathy is deeply involved in the community and often spotted on the beach with Rosie, her beloved mini-Goldendoodle. She's particularly passionate about the Ellen Hermanson Foundation, which supports breast cancer outreach and ensures access to mammography and treatment for medically underserved communities.
