Meet Lynn November, Leading East End Realtor
Lynn November is a woman who wears many hats as an animal lover, athlete, environmental and charitable supporter and longtime resident of the Hamptons. As a leading agent for Prudential Douglas Elliman she’s also a serious businesswoman. Keeping up with November’s fast-paced career is not easy, but for her, it’s simply part of her daily routine.
Prior to working in real estate, November had a successful career selling her own line of pet products. Now, after only 13 years, she is the #2 broker in the Hamptons. To her credit, November has also been noted as one of the 5 top brokers on Long Island, including Montauk and the Hamptons, and she has received numerous awards. In addition, she was the #3 realtor in 2009 and has been #1 in her office each year since joining Prudential. Her outstanding record speaks for itself.
“This year our fall season is having an early kick-off, in fact we had continuous activity throughout most of July and some of August, which is very unusual. Potential buyers’ price points have increased approximately 20-25%. I personally feel that buyers are realizing that the financial markets are so unpredictable and it’s become extremely difficult to make money on your money; therefore they may as well buy their dream home.” She also shared that Prudential has received numerous inquiries on very high-end inventory noting that she believes people are choosing to invest their money in tangible assets such as real estate.
November loves the business and is known for being a great negotiator for multi-million dollar properties, but as a certified Eco Broker, she also specializes in finding properties that afford environmentally conscious buyers the ideal living situation. Buying or converting to Eco-friendly homes is one of the smartest things we can do for our future and for future generations. Earth-minded agents like November are well-versed and extremely knowledgeable about “going green” and looking for the important details in a home that meet eco-friendly standards.
Waterfront homes are equally as important to November’s business and she knows the importance of building restrictions according to local and DEC ordinances as well as regulations and legalities. She prides herself on fully researching each and every property so that there are no unwelcome surprises that may disappoint the potential buyer. “This process will ensure that the potential buyer can do whatever they envision. The majority of buyers, even if they are purchasing an immaculate home, would like to add their own mark,” November explained.
When it comes to the selling side of a deal, she always encourages her clients to price their homes accordingly. “Pricing is the key to selling, but unfortunately some sellers do not like the price suggestion.” A reduction of a listing price that is out-of-the-ball-park is inevitable.
“The market seems to have momentum and I’m very excited for fall 2012 and spring 2013. I wish I could predict in my crystal ball, which tends to be a bit foggy from time to time, but hey, you never know, we can only forge ahead and hope that the best is yet to come!”
When November is not working she indulges in one of her many hobbies which include boating, kayaking, biking, running and spinning. Recently, November has also embarked on yet another venture, a cycling studio.
“HIGH Gear Cycling Studio in Westhampton Beach opened in June as part of my breast cancer recovery plan and I felt our area desperately was in need of one. The studio is my inspiration to recovery and it gave me a burst of motivation to fight harder than I ever have in my life. It gives me hope for my healthy future and here I am one year later, spinning into recovery and loving life!” November shared.
