Episode 274 - Steven Zellman
Thursday, August 13 | Discussing Golf, Baseball, and Rentals We’re joined by Steve Zellman, who worked the tournament as a marshal and somehow landed on a tee box with no spectators, just players, police escorts, and a job that can’t be missed. He breaks down the paddle system, the crosswalk control, and why wind turns a “volunteer role” into a test of focus. The most human moment comes when a struggling golfer hits rock bottom and literally breaks down, reminding us how thin the line is between composure and collapse. We talk about why rentals matter, how consistent move-in and move-out attention creates real trust, and why that relationship often becomes the pipeline to a future sale. We also share this week’s Hamptons market stats, including contracts, dollar volume, a wave of new listings, and what ongoing low inventory means for buyers, sellers, and renters planning their next move on the East End. Finally, we detour into the modern sports card boom: limited print runs, grading, high-priced hobby boxes, and the rush of pulling a rare card that could be worth five figures. We wrap with weekend picks, including Wolffer Estate Vineyards, a Westhampton Beach show, Ellen’s 5K, and a quick restaurant answer that lands without hesitation.
