From the moment she entered the real estate business Susan Breitenbach was a natural, and a super star. Susan has not only earned status as the undisputed top Hamptons broker; consistently claiming the #1 spot at Allan Schneider, now The Corcoran Group, for over a decade: She has handled over $1 billion in real estate transactions and found dream homes for hundreds of her own customers, with her territory covering sales (residential and land) and rentals throughout the entire East End.
Susan’s reputation for impeccable service and flair for matching customers with perfect properties go hand in hand with her unparalleled market knowledge, sharp negotiating skills and innovative marketing that lead to outstanding results. Whether she is marketing the most expensive home in the country, which is currently one of her listings in Bridgehampton, or trying to secure a charming country cottage for rent in a much more modest price range, Susan provides the same personal attention and hands-on guidance each buyer, seller and renter deserves. Susan is known for selling and listing more land than any other agent in the Hamptons and was the selling agent on the largest land transaction in Bridgehampton which closed in 2007. Susan works with many estate attorneys as their exclusive agent including the Estate for Edward S. Gordon where she marketed and sold hundreds of acres of Hampton property. She also is highly respected among her peers, and works on a referral basis with numerous brokers from Manhattan and many other locations because they are confident that their customers will be in the best hands. In 2007, she was listed as number 15 of the “Top Agents in Volume” in the United States with over $123,776,000 in sales.
Born and raised in New York City, Susan summered in the Hamptons her entire life before moving out East full time 25 years ago. Prior to steering her impressive sales skills to the world of real estate, she worked on Wall Street in computer sales. Today she reigns among the most dedicated, determined and hard working residential specialists throughout the East End. This top-performing Corcoran Senior Vice President has also recently invited her son Matt, a licensed sales associate, to join her in her business to enhance service to customers and clients with 24/7 coverage and round-the-clock support.
Susan currently resides in Water Mill with her husband, a high-end custom builder in the area, and three children where she revels in panoramic views of the bay and ocean. She is active on the American Heart Association and Parrish Art Museum committees as well as in other community groups. Susan is also a member of the Southampton Golf Club, plus she enjoys boating and playing tennis when time allows.

Seven was indeed a lucky number for residential real estate agent Marilyn Hoffman, who closed sales on $7 million worth of homes during a seven day period. For her efforts, Marilyn received the Superstar Award in New York (including a pin and earrings with combined nine carats of diamonds) from the International Federation of Estate Agents.
Among those contributing to the megabuck dealings was cosmetics queen Mary Kay Ash, who dropped $4 million for a house on Douglas under construction by builder John Needham.
It is the most expensive spec home ever sold in Dallas.” Marilyn says. The 19,000-square foot house has six wet bars and eight fireplaces. Mary Kay plans to move in in April and has been to Europe to buy some of the furnishings, Marilyn says.
Marilyn also sold golfer Lee Trevino’s Strait Lane estate so he and his new wife Claudia could buy another property near the Aerobics Center.
(The Dallas Morning News)
Highland Farm, an equestrian property near Lexington, Kentucky, is one of the most expensive pieces of real estate in the country. How ever its $40 million price includes more than just a house and some land. With the property comes 30 barns and 19 other homes, all situated on some 2,000 acres of Bluegrass. George Hofmeister, who owns the property, is a local businessman involved in horse breeding and racing. Built at a cost of $15 million, the main house has approximately 35,000 square feet of interior space. There are nine bedrooms and 12 baths. Marilyn Hoffman of Hoffman International Properties, Inc has the listing.
(Forbes.com)
In the heady days of when Houston talked about itself as a world-class city on the third coast, it was the place for at least a pied-a-terre even for a Saudi prince. Prince Faisal paid about $35 million to have the structure built in 1986. As much as anything the structure suggests a public building of some sort, which is not far from its intent. Designed by George Moreland, a Dallas architect, to suggest an embassy, the 35,000 square foot complex includes a ballroom and a gym as well as 11 bedrooms. Big enough for a prince, you would expect. But Dallas broker Marilyn Hoffman, who is offering the property, suggests that the prince may find it confining, since he is used to 250 bedrooms in his Arabian home.
(Forbes Magazine)
Marilyn Hoffman is an international real estate broker, daughter of a renowned Texas developer who bred race horses. She says, “From an early age, I became avidly involved with horses and spent many years on the national show circuit as a champion rider.” This experience has given her the knowledge to specialize in selling equestrian properties as well as castles and some of the world’s most famous estates.
The corporate headquarters of Hoffman International Properties, Inc. is a 22 room, stately Elizabethan manor designed by the renowned English architect, Sir Alfred Blossom.
Trevor Simon, the London representative for Hoffman International Properties. Inc. was in Dallas recently with Marilyn, attending the Yellow Rose Gala, a benefit for MS where Marilyn donated a royally bred Arabian stallion to the charity auction.
