Mark Greenwald, Saunders & Associates broker
Saunders & Associates broker Mark Greenwald employs his prestigious background in the law and business sectors to advise, educate and empower his high-end clientele during every real estate transaction.
As a Saunders & Associates real estate broker and a top-ranked seller in the Hamptons market, Mark Greenwald (markgreenwald.hamptonsrealestate.com) has garnered an unparalleled reputation for his determination, virtuosity and customized care for each of his clients.
“It’s a wonderful feeling when you can match the right seller with the right buyer and both parties are happy with the outcome of the transaction,” says Greenwald. “Truly, I love what I do. Continuing to bring buyers and sellers together, meeting new customers and seeing my recent customers enjoying their new homes makes my job rewarding.”
Throughout the course of his more than 20-year career in the real estate industry, Greenwald has been ranked in the highest percentage throughout the United States by The Wall Street Journal. As a Southampton Village native, Greenwald applies his personal knowledge of the neighborhood to help his high-end clientele find homes that are customized to their unique desires and needs.
“I bought my home in the Hamptons when I was still working at a New York City law firm and wanted a better balance with an urban, hectic lifestyle,” says Greenwald. “The more time that I spent here, the more I realized that this was the healthy, happy life I wanted to lead and decided to move here full time and raise a family here. I have now owned my home in Southampton Village for 30 years. Running along the shoreline, strolling through town, visiting Cooper’s Beach, it can’t be beat.”
Prior to beginning his career as a broker, Greenwald worked as a real estate attorney alongside New York City law firms Fried Frank and Schulte Roth & Zabel. With an undergraduate degree from Cornell University and a Juris Doctorate from Cornell Law School, Greenwald utilizes his acclaimed law background to provide his clients with guided, skilled expertise and personalized advice throughout the course of the real estate process—from listing a home to buying and selling one.
“My background as a lawyer instilled a very professional way of working, which I translate into every part of my day,” says Greenwald. “Whether it is preparing a new exclusive, working with a new customer or advising a seller, I find my skill set of professional, thorough and diligent work is a definite benefit. My background as a real estate attorney is also very helpful in navigating more involved transactions.”
Greenwald has worked closely alongside real estate professionals, individuals and developers, giving him the unique ability to provide expert advice on zoning laws, development options, real estate capital values, market research statistics and more.
Most recently, Greenwald has listed a turnkey Southampton Village estate, located at 149 White St. The 8,406-square-foot, six-bedroom home features spacious, sunlit rooms, scenic views, nearly 1 acre of property, a heated gunite pool and more.
Another recent listing, 11 Dering Lane, is a newly constructed East Hampton estate located on 1.8 acres of stunningly beautiful topography. The eight-bedroom, 9 ½-bathroom, 7,651-square-foot home was developed by Talo Builders in 2023, encompassing a primary suite, a heated gunite pool, a finished lower level with a media room, an expansive great room, a family room, a fully outfitted professional kitchen and more.
“I have such a great selection of listings right now. Oceanfront, historic village renovations, new construction on reserve, classic south of the highway, really a full roster,” says Greenwald. “I think that each listing has its own attributes. Finding the buyer who is searching for that something special and matching them to an incredible listing is why I personally work with each customer.”
