author on Jan 28, 2016

Chris Coleman, a real estate agent with Saunders & Associates and a resident of Montauk, reportedly oversaw 40 percent of home that sold or went into contract in that hamlet in 2015.

According to a release from Saunders, a year-end report from RealNet showed that Mr. Coleman was the agent of record for $71.5 million of the $179.8 million worth of the Montauk’s real estate transactions last year.

“The real estate market in Montauk shows us that there is something very special out here—a lifestyle, an energy, natural beauty—that you really can’t get anywhere else,” Mr. Coleman said in the release. “The majority of my customers were looking for a fun and relaxed beach community to spend their summer with their children and friends. They naturally gravitated to Montauk because it is truly unique.”

In the release, Andrew Saunders, president of the brokerage, said it was no surprise “that Chris owned nearly 40 percent of the Montauk real estate market in 2015.”

“That Chris owned nearly 40 percent of the Montauk real estate market in 2015. “He is dedicated to Montauk in a way I’ve never seen before,” said Mr. Saunders, whose firm reported $1.4 billion in transactions in the Hamptons last year.
