★★★★★
My experience with John in buying our home was amazing. John and his wife Cassie are well-experienced and super-knowledgeable in the Hampton market. They are well respected as being fair and honest and a good advocate for their clients. It took us 3 years to find our home and John was available and patient to indulge and support our process. Truthfully, we could not have done it without them. 1/18/25


★★★★★
Let me first say, that John and his wife Cassie have been friends of ours for years. After my husband and I had been looking for a house for a really (REALLY) long time with no success, we decided it was time to link up. Both Cassie and John have roots in the area, and their expertise was needed if we were ever going to secure a home in Montauk. Anyone whose ever home shopped out here knows how incredibly difficult it is. As first time home buyers, we were probably pretty needy. It's a really daunting and scary process, but neither John nor Cassie bat an eye about talking with us every single day, coaching and guiding us, putting our minds at ease, and making us aware of what was going on in the background. They went so far above and beyond to provide us the comfort that we were craving throughout, and their level of knowledge regarding the whole process, the ins and outs, the connections to other parties involved, helped to set our (my) anxious mind at ease each and every day. They even continued to help us tie up loose ends after we closed. I truly can't say enough good things about both John and Cassie, and together as a team you won't find better service in this industry. Sending the warmest thank you to our friends for making our biggest, greatest, most sought after dreams come true. You have changed our lives. <3

John is the exclusive broker we work with for renting our East Hampton home since fall 2020. Since day one of working together he has been prompt, diligent, and consistent in following up with prospective leads and soliciting interest in our property. Thank you to John and Cassie for always doing their utmost to get us great tenants, and for being a wonderful team to work with! 5/3/22

★★★★★
John was an excellent help in finding my home. I am a first time home buyer and he walked me through the entire process in an attentive, honest, and punctual way. Worked well with my schedule and offered local recommends for services. Highly recommend! 4/28/22


★★★★★
My wife and I have dealt with many real estate agents before and have had mediocre engagements at best. However, John went above and beyond for us. John was always proactive in bringing us opportunities and never shied away from giving us his perspective and thoughts. We had a true advocate that we felt were truly representing our interests despite a very challenging market. John also introduced us to our great attorney (birds of a feather...). He was always available and very communicative but never wasted our time either. I definitely appreciated his no-nonsense approach and expertise in the market.

If it comes time for our next purchase or the sale of our home, John's going to be our first call for sure.

★★★★★
Working with John was a pleasure from beginning to end. John is very knowledgeable about real estate, pricing trends and the area. John and Cassie work so well with us and kept us informed about every aspect of the marketing and Interest in our home. We highly recommend John Esposito to sell your home!! 3/4/22

★★★★★
We feel so lucky to have had John and Cassie representing us as we searched for our new home. They have a deep knowledge of real estate and especially in the Hamptons, and that plus their expertise and judgement kept us from making mistakes. My husband was impressed with their knowledge of local ordinances and negotiating skills. We give them our highest recommendation. 3/3/22

★★★★★
John is a straight up decent guy with no hidden agenda and no smarmy, pushy sales pitch. He doesn’t even come across as a realtor, he is so excellently low key. We bought our home in East Hampton and John, who grew up out there, really really knows the area and the market there. We spent a few months looking for a house with him and John was quick to point out what he saw as potential downsides to properties other realtors may have omitted to make a sale. Things we would have never known, like how a particular street was a busy bypass route in the summer. His insight was invaluable. He eventually found us the perfect house, we were the first people to see it. John had an inside line on it because, like I said, he knows what’s what. I highly recommend. 1/25/22

★★★★★
Working with John & team was such a pleasure; He was very knowledgeable about the market, which helped us in making the decision on when to rent our home. Since this was our first time renting, we had a ton of questions and were not super informed about the process, and he made us feel at ease & very comfortable. He made himself very available to hop on the phone or answer emails/texts day or night and brought us a qualified renter in a very short amount of time. I would recommend working with him any day! 1/25/22

★★★★★
John and Cassie Esposito went above and beyond. They helped us find several properties that we liked and ultimately the one we loved and most importantly, navigated us through the process from beginning to end and even after we closed. We absolutely loved working with them and recommend them unconditionally. 1/24/22

★★★★★
Extremely responsive, patient - not pushy, friendly and conversational even with difficult negotiations, very professional and knowledgeable - being locals themselves they really knew what they were talking about! 1/23/22

★★★★★
We just bought our second home in East Hampton and John was very helpful, knowledgeable and extremely responsive to all of our inquiries. He went above and beyond in helping us get all of our packages and furniture deliveries into the house as we live across the country and couldn’t be there for all of it. We were very extremely satisfied with Compass in all aspects of this transaction. 1/18/22

★★★★★
Excellent experience with John and Cassie. We were looking to purchase a seasonal/weekend home and they were super helpful / patient throughout -- starting with a preliminary conversation when we were only contemplating the idea, all the way through to ironing out all final details with a tricky seller at closing.
John is a true local, having grown up in the area, and he knows all of the nuances of the area (home types, most desirable neighborhoods/streets, etc) and of course vendors. Both John and Cassie struck the perfect balance in terms of offering opinion/advice-- when asked/pressed, they gave honest, good opinions, but never tried to steer us in any particular direction as we weighed the various options that come up at multiple points in the process. The listings they showed us were on point with what we were looking for, and we actually went with a home that showed up in the first set of listings they provided us. It was truly a professional experience.

★★★★★
Working with John and Cassie made the sale process smooth from beginning to end. They are both very knowledgeable, engaging and overall just a pleasure to work with. They have a unique "east end insight" which was valuable to ensure we were making informed decisions along the way. I hope that we make it back to East Hampton and they will be our first call. 12/11/21

★★★★★
John is a consummate professional and good person. He's a straight-shooter and knows his market extremely well. He got our deal done and followed-up beyond that. I fully recommend him. 9/16/21

★★★★★

★★★★★
I have worked with many real estate professionals out east and in NYC and John is a stand out He knows the market and his clients extremely well and has always presented well-qualified and wonderful tenants to rent my house. Working with John is seamless and easy with everyone on both sides satisfied. Once the transaction is completed, John is still very present. He has been available as a resource when needed. He has gone above and beyond to recommend reliable people at a moment’s notice. He is honest, trust worthy, dedicated and highly responsive. I would highly recommend him and his wife, Cassie, to anyone looking to buy or rent in the Hamptons. 4/15/21

★★★★★
We lucked out finding John. My wife and I had been searching in the Hamptons for years and he stuck with us, sending new and interesting places that came onto the market, and always being there to show us them when we could make it out from the City. He has great insights regarding each place we viewed, pros and cons, and we weighed them together. He also has great recommendations for people to use after purchase to get your home up and running.

In addition to being a great real estate professional, he's a great person as well. We're happy to call him a friend.

Thanks for helping us find our dream Hamptons getaway John!

Had a great buying experience with John. He listened to us and actually showed us houses that met our criteria. I wish all realtors were like this. Process was so easy. He has great local knowledge, being from the area, and great consultant on houses, as his family does construction. Fantastic resource to have when you're buying. 3/15/21

★★★★★

They negotiated quickly and fairly with both us and our renters.If you are looking to buy, sell or rent in the Hamptons you should seek out this power couple. You won't be disappointed. 2/10/21

★★★★★
From the minute we started working with John and Cassandra, they have been true professionals in every sense of the word. They are knowledgable of the area and able to offer multiple options that suit their buyers' needs. John and Cassandra's level of communication is exceptional-- not something you'd find in all agents. As a buyer, I did not feel pressured or pushed into any decisions. The whole process was comfortable and easy from start to finish. I would whole-heartedly recommend John and Cassandra to anyone in need of real estate services on the East End! 1/19/21

★★★★★
John and Cassandra helped me line up renters for my house. They were very candid with e about what problems I might face and ways to come to an agreement with tenants to minimize risk. John was very helpful in negotiating rental prices and security/utility deposits with my tenants and our decisions resulted in a successful rental term. My house was taken care of and returned to me in great condition, and our tenants were very happy with their stay and understanding of all costs up front. 12/27/18
