Husband, father, real estate agent, CEO of the Breitenbach Advisory Team (BAT), podcaster and, recently, investor and developer Matthew Breitenbach is building a life rooted in family, community and values, all while balancing a fast-paced career and helping shape the future of the Hamptons community he calls home.

The idea that Hamptons rentals are down 30% doesn’t reflect the whole picture. That number is based on limited data, often from a single brokerage and a few agents. There is no unified MLS here, and real visibility requires tracking across multiple brokerages and platforms, such as Airbnb, VRBO, and Wander. Without that, the data is incomplete and often misleading. BAT closed $3.6 million in rental volume at the end of 2024 for the 2025 season and has already secured an additional $5 million in rental volume this year.

Yet demand and asking prices are going up, not down. And while new rentals do hit the market, the inventory of deluxe summer palaces that tick the vast checklists top renters demand remains miniscule.

In 2023, BAT ranked among the Top 50 Teams in New York and the Top 250 in the US for 2023. ⁠ ⁠ Making these rankings consistently for the last five years is a testament to our team’s resilience, grit, and unwavering commitment to excellence no matter the Hamptons real estate market conditions.

Together, they explore innovative approaches to branding, business development, and lasting success — offering actionable advice for agents ready to elevate their business and thrive in the competitive luxury market.
