Business

    A glance at the deed transfers that occurred in the real estate market in East Hampton during the end of October through mid-November tells an interesting story indeed.

Is there anyone who hasn’t fantasized at some point about leaving behind their old stuff, selling their house, and stepping into someone else’s life?

Collecting for Charities

    For the past decade, Kate Carpluk of Town and Country Real Estate has been collecting donations of coats, hats, gloves, blankets, food, and toys to give to three local charities: Maureen’s Haven, the Bread and More soup kitchen, and Little Flower Children’s Services.

    This year all eight Town and Country offices will open their doors to anyone who may wish to donate. Ms. Carpluk can be reached at 838-7608 for pickup.
