Pinkwater has more than 25 years of experience leading sales teams, with a background in strategic sales and client service. Metzger brings experience in global advertising and marketing, giving the team an additional focus on positioning and promoting Hamptons properties.

At Douglas Elliman, the Pinkwater Metzger Team worked with buyers, sellers, renters and investors across the Hamptons, handling services ranging from pricing and marketing to negotiation.

The team also earned recognition within Douglas Elliman. In the brokerage’s 2025 Ellies awards, the Pinkwater Metzger Team tied for No. 11 among Hamptons teams by sales volume and ranked No. 11 by gross commission income.

The move comes as SERHANT., founded by broker and television personality Ryan Serhant, continues to expand its presence in New York and nationally.

For Pinkwater and Metzger, the move puts the East Hampton team under a growing brokerage with an increasingly visible presence in the luxury real estate market.
