Summer in the Hamptons: A Conversation with Sarah Doud

Meet Sarah Doud, a fifth-generation East Ender with deep roots in the Hamptons.

S
arah Doud, a licensed real estate salesperson at Saunders & Associates, has deep roots in the East End of Long Island, specifically the Hamptons. As a fifth-generation local, she brings a unique blend of homegrown heart and high-end hustle to her work.

    Growing up on a nearly 100-year-old farmhouse, Sarah cherishes the nostalgic charm of the Hamptons' past. She's built and renovated half a dozen homes before turning 35 and knows every back road between Montauk and Remsenburg. Her extensive knowledge of the area allows her to connect new people with this special place they want to call home.

    From a real estate perspective, Sarah enjoys introducing newcomers to what makes the Hamptons so unique. She's built a reputation for being the go-to agent who knows everyone and remembers everything. Whether it's sharing stories about the land beneath your feet or getting you top dollar for your property, Sarah is dedicated to providing an exceptional experience.

    As a hands-on expert in building and renovation, Sarah guides her clients with confidence, knowing who to call and when to call. Her expertise benefits those looking to flip and renovate properties, as she's made money on flips and new builds herself. She knows what works and what doesn't.

    Sarah's equestrian lifestyle has influenced her work, particularly in representing farms and equestrian facilities. She advises clients to consider buying subdividable land, which can be a smart real estate move. With the growing interest in Hamptons gateway towns like Riverhead and the North Fork, Sarah is well-positioned to guide clients through this market.

    As a property owner herself, Sarah shares her expertise on managing income-producing properties. She recommends exploring year-round rentals as an underappreciated market, which can be just as powerful as grabbing one luxury property.

    Sarah leverages media to tell the story of a listing or connect with potential buyers. Video is key, allowing buyers to experience and visualize the possibilities before stepping foot in the home. Her background in TV and strong social media presence make her a standout agent in the Hamptons market.

    Hampton Bays remains a dominant hamlet for Sarah's business due to its trending up prices, waterfront properties, and active year-round community. With many waterfront restaurants and a growing remote work culture, Hampton Bays is an attractive town to live, dine, and enjoy.
