Relocating to Huntington, with locals on your side

We are Mark Vogler and Gina DeMaio, The Vogler Team at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Laffey International Realty, at 315 Main St in Huntington. We are Relocation Certified and North-East Global Relocation Ambassadors, and we work with relocation referrals through our brokerage's relocation department, including corporate moves.

We see a lot of transfers into Huntington, and many buyers come out from the city looking for a little city energy without the chaos. We made a move ourselves when we came to the village about six years ago, so we remember what it is like to learn a new town.

Mark's 30 years in construction helps most when you cannot be there for every showing. He will tell you what he sees in a house on a video walk-through, so you are not flying in to look at something that was never going to work.

Huntington is a hamlet in the Town of Huntington on the North Shore of Suffolk County. The village centers on Main Street and New York Avenue, with restaurants, shops, the Cinema Arts Centre and the Paramount. Heckscher Park, Huntington Harbor and the Huntington Yacht Club are close by, and there is always something on the community calendar.

For commuters, the Huntington LIRR station is on the Port Jefferson Branch. Northport Village sits to the east and Cold Spring Harbor to the west, and many people relocating tour both edges. Homes here are varied: historic houses, craftsman-style homes, cottages and bungalows, many expanded over time.

Not sure Huntington is the one? Compare buying in Northport, the more laid-back harbor village next door, or see buying a home in Huntington for a closer look at the search.

Most people relocating to Huntington are juggling a job change, a lease end date and a move all at once, and they cannot fly in every time a house comes up. We set things up so you do not have to. Before any showing, we hold a real consultation by phone or video to learn what you actually need: the kind of house, how close to the village you want to be, how you will get around, and what you are willing to trade. From there, we preview homes for you, walk through them on video when you cannot be here, and tell you plainly what the camera does not show, like a busy road, a steep driveway or a basement that smells damp.

When you do visit, we plan the days around what matters most to you, so you see the right houses and spend real time on Main Street and New York Avenue, around Heckscher Park and down by the harbor. Many of the people who move here come from the city and want a little of that energy without the chaos, and the village has more going on than most people expect, from the Cinema Arts Centre and the Paramount to community events and parades through the year. We also give you two or three vetted names each for lenders, attorneys and inspectors, so you can build your local team quickly without guessing.

We also stay with you after you find the house. Because many relocations run on a company timeline, we keep the inspection, the attorneys and the lender moving on schedule and give you a plain update every week, so nothing stalls while you are still packing up somewhere else. You always know what is done, what is next and what we need from you.
