Dawn Watson is a true Hamptons specialist renowned for her knowledge of the East End real estate market. A leader in the community and resource person, she is known for her sharp vision, extensive network, and transparency as an opportunity creator.

“My husband, who is a theologian, always says that I have a pastoral approach to my clients,” said Watson. “While I enjoy and appreciate the compliment, I’d say that I take my fiduciary responsibilities extremely seriously — everything I do is in the best interests of my clients. Period. As corny as it sounds, there’s no better feeling than helping people live better lives through real estate. The Hamptons, I know and love this place, and especially the people who live here. Not only is the East End an incredible part of the world to live in, but it’s also home to some of the most appreciable property on the planet. Many of my clients/friends can sell their assets here and then go retire somewhere else as millionaires. I hate to see them leave, but I am always happy to help them go.”

Award-winning journalist, editor, and PR specialist Dawn has been instrumental in launching some of the largest Hamptons, North Fork, and Long Island real estate brands. A well-regarded marketing and PR specialist, she was tapped by a leading brokerage, where she served in leadership positions and was a broker on one of the area’s top-producing teams. Her services range from coaching agents on media outreach, increasing visibility, and implementing strategic methods to growing their businesses.

Dawn is client-focused, offering attentive, patient, and understanding direction through the purchase and sale process. Her fiduciary responsibility is always top of mind, earning her a loyal referral and repeat client base — a reflection of her service and success at achieving results.

In addition to real estate, Dawn is the brains behind Hamptons Party Girl, a well-read East End events blog, and Editor at Large for Hamptons Real Estate Showcase. She is also a committed philanthropist, with a board seat with Inspiration Plus, a long-standing committee membership with the East Hampton Library’s Authors Night benefit, and consultant roles with i-tri and SOFO. She also backs several other local charities.

When not making real estate transactions happen or supercharging brand image, Dawn likes to golf, ski, write, and read. She is also a published author of children’s books.
