Today I want to take a moment to highlight someone I’m proud to work alongside here at Douglas Elliman’s Lord Chapin Team—Patrick Gonzalez.Patrick was born and raised right here in East Hampton, and that matters. He doesn’t just work the Hamptons—he lives it. He brings over a decade of hands-on property management experience, along with lifelong local knowledge that honestly… you can’t Google.Before real estate, Patrick helped build Hamptons Husbands NY, a company he created with his father and brother—managing everything from $800,000 fixer-uppers to $50 million estates. That kind of exposure gives him an edge most agents never get. He knows what happens long after closing day: maintenance, renovations, landscaping, contractors—the full reality of homeownership.Because of that, Patrick has built incredible relationships with top local vendors and service providers. When clients work with him, they aren’t just getting an agent—they’re getting access to a trusted network and solutions for almost any property challenge.Patrick is fluent in both English and Spanish, making him relatable to a wide range of clients, and his communication style is professional, direct, and personable. His background in business and property management means every deal he touches is approached with precision and creativity.Outside of real estate, you’ll probably find Patrick at the beach, in the gym, or catching a live sports game. He travels often—especially to Costa Rica, where his family roots run deep. He’s competitive, dedicated, and always pushing for excellence.And that’s exactly why he’s a key part of the Lord Chapin Team—the largest team in the Hamptons. Our clients don’t just get one agent—they get all of us, and Patrick is a major strength in that lineup.If you want to work with someone who knows the Hamptons from the inside out and treats every property like his own, Patrick is your guy.
