From the July issue: Zachary Vichinsky, who co-founded Bespoke Real Estate with his younger brother Cody, works out of what looks like a model summer home. The luxury residential brokerage’s office in Water Mill has a modern exterior with floor-to-ceiling windows, and meticulously arranged décor awash in a palette of white, beige and gray on the interior. Zachary and his brother, both alumni of the Corcoran Group on Long Island, started Bespoke in 2014. The firm lists Hamptons homes with a minimum price tag of $10 million and now exclusively represents more than $1.2 billion worth of properties, with an average listing price of $26 million, according to Zachary. It was a somewhat unlikely business for the two, who grew up in Stony Brook, Long Island, and rarely ventured to the vacation hamlets their firm now targets. “I think I went to Hampton Bays for my prom — that was like the farthest I’d been east as a child,” said Zachary. He started a painting and finishing businessafter graduating from high school and began investing in single-family properties in his early 20s. Zachary, 33, now lives with his wife, Nicole, and their two-year-old daughter, Ramsey, in Bridgehampton.
