Nov 16, 2015 11:15 AMFormer Southampton Town Supervisor Linda Kabot is joining Town & Country Real Estate’s Southampton office.
“I’m excited, I have a new career!” said a cheerful Ms. Kabot on Monday. “I’ve always had an interest in the world of real estate.”
Ms. Kabot served in Southampton Town government for 14 years, including eight years as an elected official. In addition to her knowledge of land use and zoning regulations, she has experience related to real estate sales, rentals, subdivision, construction, appraisal, contract negotiations and innovative marketing.
“Linda brings a wealth of knowledge as a former local government official and administrator in Southampton Town,” Judi Desiderio, CEO and founder of Town & Country, stated in a release.
Senior managing partner Nancy McGann, who will serve as a mentor for Ms. Kabot, added, “Linda’s extensive knowledge of local zoning and land use regulations, hard-working character, and leadership qualities honed in public service make her a valuable asset.”
An honors graduate of the Westhampton Beach School District and Hobart and William Smith College, Ms. Kabot was born and raised in Westhampton. She and her husband, Lance, an industrial arts teacher, live in Quogue with their three sons.

And why not mention her DWI while you're at it?
Say whatever else you want about Linda Kabot, but she did a pretty decent job of bring the Town back from the terrible financial distress Pat Heaney left it in.
I'd also say that professionally, she had a good sense of accountability -- it was the personal denial that did her in.
It was Linda who put an expenditure and hiring freeze in her first year and worked up ...more the turnaround plan and budget in 2008, that Anna took and used as a blueprint and took all the credit for the results of the recent real estate boom that again filled the town coffers to the hilt.
And Linda did it without entering into a Faustian bargain and selling her soul like Anna the mendicant to the real estate industry. I can think of no more honorable and better walking encyclopedia of the town's zoning and real estate regulations than Linda. Good luck Linda in your new venture for which you are so eminently qualified.
GOOD LUCK LINDA !
Good luck, Sagaponack Barbie, good luck.
