Hal Zwick

Director
Compass Real Estate Hamptons

Hal is a born and bred New Yorker. He worked in the advertising and marketing field for 18 years in Manhattan prior to moving out to the East End in 1998 to enjoy life at a different pace. Never one to just sit still, he became extremely active in the Hampton’s business community through the purchase, operation and sale of several businesses and
commercial properties including Book Hampton, The Snowflake, and The Paradise Restaurant.

Hal evolved his professional career into a consultant for both potential buyers and sellers of businesses and commercial real estate. His experience can help individuals navigate the often-confusing aspects of doing business in this unique locale. Hal’s services include analysis of financial records, pricing of businesses and buildings, marketing of the entities, and consulting to buyers and sellers during the important transition period just before and
after the closing. Importantly, he respects the confidential nature of the seller’s intent and information as he guides them through the process.

Hal has become the “go-to” professional for Commercial Activity on the East End. With over 300 specialized transactions, customers and clients alike rely on him for his honesty, knowledge and integrity and most important confidentiality. He is always available for guidance to landlords, business owners and investors — when people are in the initial phase of decision making and long after the transaction is complete. A true professional!
Hal resides in East Hampton with his son, two dogs and two cats, and he takes advantage of all the activities the area has to offer. He involves himself in local issues throughout the communities and is often sought after for consultation on matters pertaining to the business environment on the East End.
