Boasting 7 bedrooms, 8.5 bathrooms and a lot of nearly three acres, this custom-built waterfront home is the definition of ocean-side luxury. Sweeping panoramic views make sunset and sunrise the star of the show, and with 8,300 square feet of living space, there's plenty of room for entertaining.
“One of the reasons I believe we made No. 1 Mega Team at Douglas Elliman is because of our incredible expansion into multiple markets last year,” Gomes says. “One of these markets was reaching outside of NYC and into other New York markets like Sag Harbor. Eklund|Gomes agents Kyle Rosko and Marcy Braun represented this home that truly proves why the Sag Harbor life is so appealing”

More of a city mouse? This 3-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom mixes urban elegance with the comfort of home. The new owners can stretch out with 11-foot ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows in the spacious living room.
“This apartment is exactly what you dream of when moving to New York.” Gomes says. “Luxe amenities, incredible views from Midtown, and an apartment built with the best materials. Eklund|Gomes represented this deal from the listing-side and was a slam dunk once taken up to the gorgeous view.”

Taking another trip to the Hampton, this recently-renovated traditional home sits on 1.6 acres and offers five bedrooms, 11 bathrooms and 7,500 square feet of living space.

Down in sunny south Florida, the team sold a gorgeous home right on the intracoastal. With 5 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms and 5,968 square feet of living space, the new owners will have to remind themselves to take a step outside and make use of their boat—which is conveniently docked just outside, of course.
“This buyer wanted 3 things: views of the sea, a spot for a boat, and a sleek designed place to call home,” Gomes says. “I think E|G’s Marc Brandt found all of that and then some. In a bustling market that Miami is experiencing now, we quickly had to jump on a gorgeous home in such a prime location.”

Ocean front views and sky-high living? This unit in the south tower of Auberge in Fort Lauderdale really has it all. The building blends condo living with resort-style amenities, and the fun of downtown is just steps away.
“This unit is the best of Florida displayed in less than 3,500 square feet,” Gomes says. “The Ocean views and the plentiful light combine to make for a truly striking experience when you enter. Marc Brandt did an incredible job leading the charge for his seller positioning this Ocean front home that also has easy access to the action downtown.”
