For many snowbirds, life often revolves around two places: South Florida in the winter and the Hamptons during the summer. That seasonal migration just got easier, thanks to a new partnership between two big names in luxury real estate.
Premier Estate Properties out of Palm Beach and Saunders & Associates in the Hamptons are teaming up to help clients who jump between these hot markets. This isn’t just about connecting buyers and sellers — agents from both companies now share access to more listings, bigger referral networks, and coordinated marketing efforts across Florida and New York.
They’re also planning joint events — think networking, property tours, and workshops — to help agents build relationships and learn more about what makes each market tick.
Premier Estate Properties was founded in 1993, focusing solely on Florida homes priced over $1 million. They’ve racked up over $22 billion in sales and run seven offices along Florida’s East Coast. Saunders & Associates launched in 2008 and quickly became the largest private brokerage in the Hamptons. Last year alone, they moved over $1.5 billion in deals, bringing their total sales and rentals to $25 billion.
Both firms are staying independent, but leaders see this partnership as a nod to how luxury real estate is evolving. Buyers are no longer treating South Florida and the Hamptons as separate playgrounds; they want seamless service and connections in both.
This kind of strategic collaboration is popping up more often. Boutique brokerages are looking for ways to expand without losing that personal touch that sets them apart.
For Premier Estate Properties and Saunders & Associates, it isn’t just about selling homes in two regions. It’s about delivering a lifestyle — and connecting two coastal gems that continue to attract the most discerning buyers and sellers in the country.
