# Pinkwater Metzger Team Joins SERHANT. in the Hamptons
The Pinkwater Metzger Team has joined SERHANT., the high-end real estate brokerage founded by Ryan Serhant, marking another expansion of the luxury brand into the Hamptons market. The East Hampton-based duo brings $160 million in career sales volume to the affiliation and ranked No. 13 among small teams nationally in the 2026 RealTrends Verified City list.
The team's track record positions them among the top performers in luxury residential sales. Their $160 million career portfolio reflects consistent success in one of the country's most competitive and expensive housing markets. The RealTrends ranking validates their standing as agents capable of moving high-value properties efficiently and consistently.
SERHANT. has built its brand on celebrity-led luxury marketing and premium service delivery. The brokerage operates across multiple metropolitan markets with particular strength in New York City and its affluent suburbs. The Hamptons represent a natural extension of SERHANT.'s footprint given the wealth concentration in East Hampton, where median home prices regularly exceed $2 million.
For buyers in the Hamptons, the addition of a top-ranked team under the SERHANT. umbrella means access to agents with both local market knowledge and connection to a larger network of high-net-worth clients. SERHANT.'s marketing muscle, which includes social media influence and celebrity connections, can amplify property exposure beyond traditional channels. Sellers working with the Pinkwater Metzger Team gain access to these broader distribution networks while retaining agents with deep roots in the community.
For existing SERHANT. agents in the region, the partnership introduces competition for premium listings. The team's No. 13 national ranking suggests they move properties faster than many peers, which could pressure other agents to refine their marketing strategies or pricing approaches. Landlords seeking property management services through SERHANT.'s affiliated divisions may find additional resources available through the team's established relationships.
The timing reflects broader consolidation in luxury real estate brokerage. Smaller, independent teams with strong track records increasingly seek affiliation with larger brands rather than operating solo. This pattern allows experienced agents to maintain autonomy while accessing marketing resources, technology platforms, and client referral networks they could not build independently. For consumers, it concentrates deal flow among branded firms rather than independent operators.
The Hamptons market remains resilient despite broader real estate volatility. Properties in East Hampton and nearby communities continue attracting wealthy buyers from New York City, hedge fund executives, and international investors seeking second homes. The area's limited inventory, excellent schools, and waterfront access support prices that remain stable or appreciating even during market corrections elsewhere.
SERHANT.'s expansion into the Hamptons with an established top-performing team positions the brokerage to compete directly with entrenched local firms and traditional luxury brokers like Corcoran and Sotheby's International Realty. The affiliation does not represent a major market shift but rather another step in SERHANT.'s methodical geographic expansion into wealthy enclaves where brand recognition and marketing capability create competitive advantage.
