Meet The Broker

Kimberly Cammarata of Douglas Elliman Real Estate

Meet Kimberly Cammarata, a distinguished broker with Douglas Elliman, whose journey into real estate in the Hamptons is fueled by an undeniable passion for the area’s lifestyle, community, and natural splendor. With a genuine commitment to serving her clients, Kimberly sets herself apart through a personalized approach, prioritizing communication, attention to detail, and a steadfast dedication to achieving exceptional results. 

HRES: Why did you become a broker in the Hamptons?  

KC: I have a real passion for the area. I love the lifestyle that the Hamptons affords, the people and the community feel, and the natural beauty all around. I find great fulfillment in helping others find their perfect home here, and in seeing family’s create a nucleus for their children to come back to and spend quality time together for generations to come.

HRES: What qualities or certifications set you apart from other agents? 

KC: I think real estate is largely a people business. I try and lead with a personal touch, taking the time to really get to know my client and their needs. I stay in close contact, I get back to people right away, and I enjoy the journey together. I’m very detailed-oriented and I care about the end result, so my hope is that clients who are working with me feel like they have a trusted friend, advisor and advocate throughout the process.

HRES: What strategies do you employ to stay updated with the latest market trends and developments in real estate, and how do you apply this knowledge to benefit your clients?

KC: Being able to tap into the global reach and the cutting-edge technologies that Douglas Elliman offers really elevates the experience for my clients, as I’m able to share all the information, resources, and tools I have access to with them. I also have an incredible marketing department and an in-house public relations team behind me, so I’m able to stay ahead of the curve on things like social media, reels, marketing, print advertising, and editorial opportunities. I also really appreciate the many opportunities to network with top agents across the country with many events and functions in our key markets. Whether I’m attending an event to learn insights about our jointly produced annual Wealth Report with our international partner Knight Frank, or I’m connecting with agents at the Hampton Classic, or other amazing brand events in California, Florida, or Manhattan, there is so much opportunity to develop relationships and refer business across the world which really benefits my clients.

HRES: What kind of clients could benefit from your services?

KC: I’m a full-service agent, working with buyers, sellers, developers and investors. I’m knowledgeable in all facets of the industry and I enjoy meeting the unique challenges of each deal.

HRES: How have the needs and desires of home buyers changed over the past two years?

KC: Hamptons buyers still want homes built for entertaining, where their families can come. The right amenities remain a huge driving factor. In the last few years, I’ve seen a big increase in the popularity of Pickleball courts. Lifestyle amenities like movie theaters and hot tubs are always on the want list.

HRES: One of your specialties is new construction, could you share some insights on your approach to marketing and showcasing newly constructed homes?

KC: New construction takes a lot of work behind-the-scenes, sitting with the builder and coming up with a house design that works for the needs of the buyers. The visuals are very important for marketing as the goal is to make the house look appealing before it’s even done. So, there is a lot to do and to get right from creating the floor plans and renderings and then taking updated photos all the way throughout the process. There’s a lot that goes behind it and I love every minute of it.
