Lewis & Nickles Real Estate

Founded in 1981, Kapell Real Estate is a boutique brokerage specializing in a small but carefully selected inventory of fine vintage homes, waterfront estates, working farms and commercial properties on the North Fork and Shelter Island. David Kapell handles all transactions personally, offering customers the highest degree of individualized service and complete confidentiality. Eileen Kapell manages office operations. The Kapells also sell paintings and antique ship models, furniture, folk art and pianos.

Thomas McCarthy and his wife Susan grew up around these parts and have built their real estate practice on genuine knowledge of what makes the North Fork tick. They approach property management with a real stake in the community—prioritizing land conservation, thoughtful growth, and encouraging neighbors to stay involved in local decisions. Winter brings a quieter pace to the region, and it's during these colder months that you really see the character of properties and the long-term vision McCarthy and his team hold for the area. Partnering with them means putting your property in the hands of people who think about the North Fork's trajectory for decades to come.

Tucked in Greenport's waterfront heart on Long Island's North Fork, this agency handles the full spectrum of properties across the region's East End. Whether you're eyeing a sprawling vineyard, a cozy cottage, or a luxury waterfront estate with views across the sound, bay, or peaceful creek channels, their team connects buyers and sellers with what works. The winter months bring a quieter charm to North Fork, making it an ideal time to explore properties without the seasonal crowds—you'll get an authentic feel for the community and landscape. They arrange both temporary getaways and permanent homes, manage comparative market analyses at no charge, and deploy certified buyer reps and senior specialists who know every corner of North Fork real estate.
