About Jacalyn Worth:
"We have worked with Jacalyn Worth several times over the years where she has assisted us with both sales and rentals, and each experience has been an absolute pleasure. Her in depth knowledge of the market and keen insight into what we were looking for was an asset to our searches. Every outing with her was an efficient use of our time.Having grown up on the East End, "Jackie" has the unique advantage over most other brokers of actually having shown or visited a majority of the homes at one time or another over the years. This enabled her to "weed out" any properties that may not have worked for us and pinpoint those that met our criteria.acalyn truly is the consummate professional. One who is knowledgeable, prompt and courteous. But what truly makes her special is that she is also one of the most personable. Her positive, upbeat and friendly personality is infectious and help make what can be a tedious process, an enjoyable one.We would recommend Jacalyn Worth to anyone buying, selling or renting out East because we know they would be in excellent hands.Rachel Thompson & Paul Fried"

About Jacalyn Worth:
"Upon my arrival to the Hamptons in 1979, I first met Jackie Worth working for a small botique real estate office in Bridgehampton.Jackie was born and raised inSag Harbor and is a wealth of local knowledge when it comes to real estate in the Hamptons. Jackie is pleasant, charming and charasmitic. She has made many long term friends and repeat customers. In my personal experience, Jackie knows how to balance the interests of both the sellers and buyers / renters in making deals that are good to both. I believe this is an important quality. Jackie has successfully rented my home for me the past two summers, and I look forward to working with her in the future. John Barylski"

About Jacalyn Worth:
"I have worked with Jackie Worth over a period of 13 years. Jackie was responsible for finding my home in Southampton in 1997, and when I tentatively decided to sell it last summer, Jackie was tireless in her effort to find a buyer at the fairly high price I was asking. She gave two brokers' open houses which resulted in about 20 viewings. Jackie also showed me a number of possible replacement homes, two of which I went back to several times. When it became clear that I could not get the price I was asking, Jackie gently suggested that I lower the price, and continued patiently to try to find a buyer for me though I resisted lowering the price. She is a very hard working broker, and I have been completely satisfied with our relationship. Marcia K. Marshall"

About Jacalyn Worth:
"My husband Marty and I have known Jacalyn Worth for 20 years.  We have always found her to be an incredible source of information about the housing and rental markets in the Hamptons.  Over the years we have considered buying a house, or land with the intention to build a house, and Jackie has always been our “go to” agent.  She has shown us hundreds of properties and is extremely knowledgeable about the market.  We have rented houses for many summer seasons through Jackie and we were always impressed with her thoroughness and enthusiasm during our search.  In fact, we affectionately refer to her as Jackie “no stone unturned” Worth because of the sheer volume of properties that she shows us.  We always feel that she listens to our preferences and honors our choices.  She understands our taste and respects our lifestyle.  Most importantly, she knows how to effectively build relationships. Once we decide on a property, Jackie handles all the details in a very professional manner.  She conveys our wishes to the homeowner and always goes the extra mile to make sure that we’re comfortable.  We highly recommend Jacalyn Worth to all our friends and we look forward to working with her again in the future. Sincerely, Merrill Pavane         "

About Jacalyn Worth:
"A friend and I contacted Jacalyn Worth in late April to find a rental house. She quickly made herself available to us and took the time to go back and forth with us during the week so that we could identify the properties that we might like to see. After showing us a broad array of properties, she helped us narrow down the choices and then handled the bidding process for us. The final accord we reached was at a reasonable price, and the entire deal was conducted in a pleasant manner. In my subsequent interactions with the landlord, I have sensed no bitterness or ill will despite that we paid well below the asking price. Throughout the entire process, she was professional and polite. At no time did we feel that she did not have our best interests at heart. I cannot recommend her enough.Throughout the entire process, she was professional and polite. At no time did we feel that she did not have our best interests at heart. I cannot recommend her enough.

About Holly Rubenstein:
"By way of introduction I and my partner Jane are clients of Holly. She patiently helped us find a suitable home at 10 Montauk Avenue Extension in Sag Harbor, and I would like to tell you of our experience. Over the years we have dealt with many realtors and Holly is the best we have ever dealt with. She is professional, knows the market, listened to what we wanted and did not get pushy about any property. At all times she was responsive to our needs and requests, and made the whole experience of buying a property smooth and pleasant. Even though technically Holly represented the seller, we never felt that way. We originally dealt with another realtor who we found to be uninterested in us, did not listen to our needs and told lies. Holly was recommended to us and we are so pleased that we switched realtors. You have a first class realtor on your books and we hope Holly gets the recognition she deserves."

About Joan Bischoff:
"I was not surprised to hear that Joan Bischoff van Heemskerck and Nicholas Planamento had joined Town & Country Real Estate to run the North Fork offices. I had worked with them when they were associated with at another company, and where they each stood out due to their integrity as well as their unique senses of both aesthetic and interpersonal style. I knew that these and other qualities and strengths of character would allow them to work together wonderfully well. ecause I had spent every summer of my life in Mattituck, I wanted to find a rental property for the following summer. Money was an issue to us at the time, but Nich didn't make it one. He showed us properties exactly like what we had described, and well within our means, never wasting his time, or ours. He was knowledgeable about every aspect of each property, and believe me, I ask very detailed questions.One of the things I appreciate about Joan and Nich is that they r eally listen to me, and it shows in their actions. I had the sad task of selling our family's summer home after my mother's death, and after different members of our family had owned it for nearly 60 years. The discovery that my siblings were not interested in keeping it was hard, and the kindness and understanding that Joan extended to me in any part of the sale which he handled, is something I will never forget. Joan has an old-world European elegance sorely needed in this country. I never felt pushed or even felt that Joan thought of what he was doing as work. In every conversation he silently conveyed that he was honored to be helping me, and you know? You can't put a price tag on that. ecause I had spent every summer of my life in Mattituck, I wanted to find a rental property for the following summer.

About Nicholas Planamento:
"When I was going to sell my Mom's SOUTHOLD home, the best thing that happened to me was meeting NICHOLAS PLANAMENTO from Town & Country Real Estate. God sent me to the Mattituck office the first week of May while a large motivational meeting was going on. Nich couldn't have been nicer to me. I felt I was in good hands from the moment I met him. He was recommended to me by my lawyer's secretary. Nich recommended a STAGER" to me , who made suggestions and a few changes for a minimal amount of money that changed even the way I viewed this home! After the changes were made , Nich held an open house for realtors that was very well received, and an OPEN HOUSE Memorial Day Weekend!! The 6th couple who came made an OFFER, and we were on our way to a CONTRACT & CLOSING with myself and the new couple each having one month of summer to enjoy!! From early May to the end of JULY, what a quick sale because of all the work that Nich put in! I couldn't have been happier. I continue to think of Nich as a "friend" and am planning to sell my CONDO west of Southold, and hope that Nich can continue to help with this sale! "

About Laura Bennett:
"When my husband decided to give in to my dream of living full-time in Southampton we knew we would need help in finding a home. While I have been coming there since the early 1980s I did not feel I was equipped to take this on without help, so I asked members of my family to recommend a real estate broker. We were introduced to your Laura Bennett and we have been working with her for some months now. It has been a wonderful experience. She graciously took us under her wing and educated us about the market, We have a home in Washington DC that we must sell, but Laura patiently spent considerable time with us, showing us property when we came to town, and through e-mail, without knowing just when her efforts would be rewarded. Even though I recently had to tell her that we may not be able to buy as soon as we had hoped, she continues to guide us. We have complete trust in her and know we are in good hands. Having been a realtor for several years myself, I am most grateful for her professionalism. The relationship we have built with her is invaluable and most appreciated. Kinds regards,Cecile Warnock "

About John A Pizzo:
"In the year 1996 I made a decision to purchase a home in East Hampton for my family. We were fortunate to have meet Nick and John Pizzo as we went through the process. In February of 1997 we settled on a Pizzo built house and had the pleasure of working through the final details and modifications required. The trust and credibility established was quite uncommon, each detail was dealt with in a most efficient and civilized manner. Having dealt with builders on other occasions the contrast was most welcome. As the Chief Executive Officer of a major retail company I know the difference a polished professional can make in a complex transaction. John Pizzo has the poise and ability to execute that is rare today. Eleven years later we still savor our decision. The home has performed perfectly, with no issues, a tribute to the Pizzo Organization. Yours truly, John Campbell, CEO, Thomasville Home Furnishings"

About John A Pizzo:
"John Pizzo built our home in East Hampton in 2001. He delivered an excellent product, on time and on budget. Throughout the process, working with John on the house was fun! Having renovated several homes, our experience with him was uniquely positive. John was extremely collaborative and allowed us to meaningfully participate in the process. We developed a strong trust and respect for his aesthetic/construction expertise. He made us feel as if we were partners on the project but he was clearly in charge. Our home is perfect! It has only given us pleasure and is a joy to live in. My entire family loves the house and John and his family have become a part of our extended family. I have been tempted to build another house with John since it was such a great experience. My wife and kids always veto the idea since they refuse to give up our present home. But, someday, I look forward to working with John again - he is the consummate professional. Sincerely, Jeffrey Grant"

About John A Pizzo:
"I have known John Pizzo as a friend and as a builder of quality homes for 25 years. When it came time for my growing family to up-size and build our dream home in 1999 it was natural to ask John to build our home. Being friends with John and his family for many years I knew of the style, craftsmanship, and appreciation value that comes with a Pizzo home. Because I had already sold my home and was living in a rental, I needed my new home to be built in less than 9 months. With respect of all his sub-contractors, John delivered our beautiful home in 8 months. We have been in our home for almost eight years, everything is great, and we see John and his family all the time. Sincerely, T.J. Calabrese Jr. O.D."

Sincerely, Kevin Harrington"

About Cathleen Dolson:
"I met Cathy Dolson in the spring of '07. I was thinking of selling my home in Amagansett and moving to the North Fork. After spending an hour with Cathy in her office discussing my desires for a home on the North Fork we set out to view properties. Cathy's knowledge of the area was very impressive and she focused in on exactly what I was looking for. I made an offer on just the second property we looked at. That was 2 years ago and my wife and I could not be happier with our beautiful home overlooking the sound in Orient."

About Cathleen Dolson:
"We began searching for a vacation home on the North Fork without any real contacts or intimate knowledge about what towns or neighborhoods would best suit our family. We spoke with a number of agents but none seemed too interested in who we were, who are children were, what are interests were or what we really wanted. One after another, they just pushed what they believed were their latest and greatest listings. It was disappointing at best, particularly because we know the business, as Gina is a real estate agent in Westchester. Then, with a bit of luck, we met Cathy. Knowledgeable, affable, patient and so sincere, we knew we had the right person, finally. Before we looked at a single house, she met our family, engaged our children, and asked what we really wanted now and where we wanted to be in 10 years. She gave us a multitude of options, but never pushed a single one. It wasn't about price or commission or a quick sale. We think we probably drove her crazy, but after every trip, Cathy would say, "If it doesn't feel right, it isn't," and then off she'd go to find something else. When we finally narrowed it down, we asked her opinion about which choice she thought was best. She was candid and again took the family into consideration. If it was just us, she suggested one option. But given our family, she recommended another. Fast forward. We could not have made a better choice. We have recommended Cathy to everyone who has asked for an agent on the North Fork, and she deserves it. Dan & Gina DeVito "

About Laura Bennett:
"I wanted to thank you for being such a great help in renting our home at 300 Hill St. last summer. If it hadn't been for your creative and enthusiastic effort in promoting it, I'm not at all sure we would have been so lucky. I was personally quite sad when it wasn't you who finally came through with a renter, but was ironically one of your colleagues at Town and Country. Despite the open house which you had held for Town and Country, she only became aware of the property when her customer had called her after seeing the Town and Country sign which you had placed in front of our house. You were a helpful sounding board throughout the process, and I look forward to working together again this coming summer. You will love the renovation we're planning. All the best, Lucine Delins"

About Laura Bennett:
"Mark and I wanted to thank you for all of your hard work and dedication with regard to our summer rental. We were especially impressed by the fact that you checked in with us during the summer as well as AFTER Labor day. As you know renting a home can be extremely stressful. You made it easy for us to feel comfortable and enjoy our summer away. Thank you again for all of your support. We hope to be lucky enough to do business with you again, Meg and Mark Hunt"

About Laura Bennett:
"Laura is a professional, she knows when to show her strength, and when to be very patient. We had many phone conversations, and we never felt rushed in any way. With the economy in a recession, with over nine-plus percentage of the population out of work, with the market flooded with better homes, Laura made the sale happen in record time for us. This is the special gift we saw in her from the beginning, and now we could not be more pleased with the way things turned out. All we can say is thank you Laura, and thank you Town & Country. Arlene and Paul Williams"

About Andrea Alberts:
"Your professionalism, fine sense of integrity and attention to detail contributed to the sale. Our entire family knew that we had someone who could "hold our hands" during this very emotional time. From the moment we all spoke on the conference call, to the many conversations that followed, we knew that you were the only one that could represent 515 Evelyn Place Beverly Hills, Ca. 90210. But perhaps the most amazing thing is how very quickly the house sold! It was not good luck.. it was our good fortune to have you represent us. With much appreciation, Elaine Doran, Trustee, Liberman Family Trust"

About Tracy Annacone:
"Tracy was our second real estate agent. Our first agent was pushy and clearly out for herself. Tracy was different. Tracy quickly learned what we wanted out of a house -- what lifestyle we lived, how we planned to use it and the style of house we preferred. She also learned quickly what our budget was and was a great help in that regard. While she would occasionally show us houses that were "on the high end" of our budget -- they were always exactly the type of house we liked (and sometimes wished we could swing!). That said she was always helpful in talking through the pros/cons of any potential offer and we always felt she had good input that allowed us to make solid and sound offers. We spent a long time looking for exact right house -- and lots of time with Tracy in that process. I can honestly say we enjoyed our search with Tracy...and after it all we couldn't be more happy with the house we found and the price we paid. And...in the end we believe we gained a good friend in East Hampton. "

About Tracy Annacone:
"Having worked with many brokers both in Manhattan as well as in East Hampton, I can say that Tracy has proven herself to be the most professional, hard working, and diligent broker I have worked with.

About Stacey Barnds:
"Having actively looked to buy a house in the Hamptons for six years we were constantly put off by devious and deceitful brokers, all too keen to serve the sellers needs. Stacey was one of very few brokers that neither pushed or walked away when we made it clear the time was not right for us to buy. Given the dramatic change through then end of 2008 we stayed in touch, if and when we buy I am sure Stacey will represent us. D & L Tucker"
