With your guidance, we embarked upon our first-ever summer rental search and we couldn't be more thrilled. What could have been a chore, you made a pleasure. Your attention to detail and knowledge of the East End real estate inventory meant that you only showed us what fit our needs; none of our time was wasted. We look forward to hosting you at our wonderful summer rental this year. Thanks!— Marta & Mike, Rental Client
Merle specializes in the purchase, sale or rental of Hampton properties at all price points from Southampton to Amagansett. When Merle says “I can help anyone buy or rent their ideal Hamptons home,” she means it. With the attention to detail, patience, determination, dedication and negotiating skills you would expect from someone with a corporate tax law background, Merle takes the time to listen to what her customers want and carefully match them with the inventory that suits their needs. If you are looking for that dream Hamptons home, Merle will work tirelessly to find you that perfect place. Buyers and tenants both appreciate Merle’s broad knowledge of the area and are thrilled with her clear and organized presentation of properties tailored to their wish list and with helping to guide them to that perfect purchase or rental.
Merle is equally skilled and dedicated with helping people sell their homes in the Hamptons. As a listing broker, Merle prides herself on her meticulous and honest pricing analysis, thorough marketing plan and hands on customer service. Selling your property quickly, efficiently and with minimal drama is Merle’s goal. Merle also specializes in working with owners who want to rent their homes in the Hamptons. Owners appreciate her expertise in all aspects of the rental market and Merle’s main goal is to provide her real estate customers the same level of professional service for which she was known in the corporate world. She prides herself on her integrity, honesty and the ability to “get things done.” Having purchased and rented her own homes over the years, she truly understands the importance of these decisions and the attendant emotional and financial implications.
Raised on Long Island, Merle moved to Manhattan after law school and started renting in the Hamptons a few years later. This led to the purchase of a home and eventually a move full time to the East End. She enjoys all the outdoors has to offer and is thankful to be able to live in such a beautiful place. Running, spinning, kayaking, gardening and cooking for friends are passions for her.
Merle lives in Sag Harbor with her husband Garry and Isabelle, the world’s greatest cat.

We worked with Merle on a few rentals and now the purchase of a home in East Hampton. She has become like family to us... I can't imagine...looking at real estate without her expert guidance, opinion and insight. Merle is simply the best.— Joe, Buyer
[Merle] has provided me with help I would never have expected from a broker. No one I have dealt with in the past has worked harder and been more diligent. This is service over and above all expectations— Jay, Seller
I am so impressed by Merle's efforts in the preparation and showing of our home, resulting in a quick sale at a great price. We are sure that her suggestions contributed to the successful sale. She was energetic and conscientious at all times.— Frank, Seller
