George Malamas has joined the Westhampton Beach office.
Raised in the restaurant business in Manhattan, for 25 years Mr. Malamas spent weekdays running his restaurants in the city and spending weekends in the Hamptons. In 1994 he moved to Westhampton Beach full-time and got into real estate two years later.
According to Mr. Malamas, restaurants and real estate are very similar in that you really need to love working with all types of people if you expect to do well in either. Running a successful restaurant is very time-consuming, but when a customer leaves happy you know they will be back, he said, adding that it’s the same in real estate.
