Bennett comes from a multi‑generational real estate family in St. Louis, so the world of property has always come naturally to him. After graduating from Northwestern and earning his MBA from NYU, he built a successful career at American Express and other marketing firms, specializing in sales, business development, and creating revenue‑driving partnerships. He later led his own consultancy focused on helping clients maximize customer engagement and transactions.
This blend of corporate strategy, client service, and negotiation expertise makes him exceptionally well suited to the Hamptons real estate market. Bennett is a dedicated, tenacious professional who prides himself on delivering strong results and cultivating long‑term client relationships.
After decades in New York City, Bennett and his wife now live full‑time in East Hampton. He enjoys cycling, cooking, reading (including his book club), and the daily New York Times crossword. He also serves on the Board of SCOPE, supporting summer camp opportunities for children in underserved communities.
