THE FORK The magazine of Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty East End Offices.

Dear Friends, It’s harvest season on the North Fork and that means it is the perfect time to visit the local farm stands, which will be filled with local produce, activities for the children, and tasty baked goods. Enjoy the famous roasted corn, miles of pumpkin and apple picking, elaborate corn mazes, and exciting fall festivals. This is also the perfect time to visit one of over 35+ vineyards for tastings and tours. The vines will be ripe with new grapes for upcoming wines, making the picturesque views unforgettable.

October is Daniel Gale Cares month and we will be participating in many local charity drives. We will be sponsoring a month long coat drive for CAST with each office on the North Fork being a drop off point for all gently used winter coats people want to donate. We will also be cleaning up our local beaches, volunteering at Maureen's Haven and John’s Place too. Daniel Gale North Fork will also be hosting a cocktail party and silent auction to raise money to help enhance our local communities.

Check out our Facebook page for more information.

Although the summer may be over and the weather is cooling down the real estate market on the North Fork is still hot! Are you looking for your new home?

Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty Greenport 114 Main Street Greenport, NY 11944 Office: 631.477.0013 Cell: 631.521.3711 Email: janetmarkarian@danielgale.com Janet grew up on the North Shore of Long Island. After receiving her MFA in textile design and a Fubright Hays grant to study weaving in Highland Andes, Janet taught weaving and textile history at The School of The Art Institute of Chicago. She also worked with the costume collection at The Victoria and Albert Museum in London, later as a textile conservator at The Metropolitan Museum of Art and eventually moved to Hong Kong and Mainland China where she designed and manufactured her own line of textiles.

After returning to the States, she and her husband discovered the North Fork. Smitten with Orient Village, they purchased a 19th Century home on historic Village Lane that included a former barbershop where Janet opened Orient Linen Company. In addition to selling custom linens and vintage textiles, and because she has a nose for beautiful homes, she soon became a go-to source for the local real estate sales and rental market.

Given her foundation in design, passion for local history and architecture, it was a natural progression - to become licensed and one of the North Fork’s top producers. Janet still loves to create and run her shop, not to mention work in the garden She is an active member of the Orient Yacht Club also sits on the Board of Poquatuck Hall in Orient, an institution close to her home ( across the street) and her heart.

Whether it’s helping to sell a family home, find that perfect summer rental or buy the house of one’s dreams, her interest in people, trained eye, and local knowledge is the key to success.

Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty Shelter Island 17 Grand Avenue Shelter Island, NY 11965 Office: 631.749.1155 Cell: 631.745.2626 Email: lindamccarthy@danielgale.com Linda Larsen McCarthy was raised in Upper Montclair, New Jersey, and has been a lifelong summer resident of Shelter Island. She graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Health and Physical Education from Rutgers University in 1981, and earned a Master of Arts from Montclair State University in 1983. She spent numerous years in Education as a teacher, coach, and college admissions officer.

In 1989, she married her husband, a United States Marine Corps Officer, and they spent 14 years moving about the country from Hawaii to Virginia.

During this time she cultivated her passion for real estate by exploring the variety of unique housing markets across the country.

When her husband retired from the Marine Corps in 2003, the family, including their two daughters, unanimously agreed that they would finally fulfill their dream; they moved to Shelter Island. Linda immersed herself in school and community activities, and in 1999, she obtained her real estate license. She now balances her real estate career with her family and volunteering in the community for events such as the annual Lt. Joe Theinert Spur Ride, and as a board member of the Mashomack Preserve. As a former marathon runner, Linda still finds time to stay active and especially enjoys kayaking, paddle boarding, and biking with her family along Shelter Island’s scenic waterways and roads.

Capitalizing on a number of things -- the industry’s latest technology, her expertise in all price ranges, and her instinctive knowledge of the Shelter Island real estate market -- Linda has proven that she provides buyers and sellers with positive and fruitful real estate experiences. Her success has kept her at the Silver Circle of Achievement for many years, and she recently joined the Daniel Gale Sotheby’s elite Gold Circle of Excellence.

Linda looks forward to using her energy and enthusiasm to help you fulfill your dream in the purchase or sale of a home on Shelter Island, and she continues to pursue her lifetime commitment to professionalism, confidentiality, integrity and excellence in personal service.
