There is no official ranking
Real estate agents are not ranked by any government or licensing body, so no one can claim to be "the best" in an official sense. What homeowners in Huntington want when they ask this question is someone who knows the area well, communicates, and has handled deals similar to theirs. That is a more useful way to frame the search.
What to look for in a Huntington agent
- Local knowledge of Huntington and the immediately surrounding towns, not just a general Long Island presence
- A track record with homes similar to yours in size and price point
- Clear, direct communication rather than vague updates
- A plan for pricing and marketing that fits the current market, not a generic approach
- Someone willing to talk through your timeline even if you are not ready to list yet
Why Huntington's market calls for specific experience
Huntington sits on the Long Island Rail Road's Port Jefferson Branch, with Huntington station serving as the eastern end of electrified service, giving commuters a one-seat ride west. That kind of transit access matters to buyers and should be reflected in how a home is marketed and priced. Long Island overall remains a competitive seller's market right now. Inventory has stayed low because many homeowners locked in lower interest rates when they bought or refinanced, and they are reluctant to give those up to buy again at today's higher rates. At the same time, buyer demand has stayed strong, so well-positioned homes that do come to market tend to see real competition. An agent who understands this dynamic in Huntington specifically, not just Long Island broadly, is in a better position to help you price and time a listing correctly.
The Collab's approach in Huntington
William Soundias and Jeff Nathanson formed The Collab after a combined 16+ years working in Long Island real estate, with nearly $100 million in career sales volume between them. They work out of Keller Williams Points North and focus their attention on local market knowledge, straightforward advice, and long-term relationships rather than high-pressure sales tactics. Their current focus is on higher-value seller opportunities, especially $1M+ single-family homes in Huntington and nearby communities like Dix Hills and Melville. That focus means they spend their time on fewer, more substantive conversations with homeowners rather than chasing volume. If you are a Huntington homeowner thinking about moving up, downsizing, or relocating, even if you are still months away from a decision, that is exactly the kind of conversation The Collab is set up to have.
What working with The Collab looks like
- An honest read on what your home could sell for in the current Huntington market
- A conversation about timing, including how your current mortgage rate and the local rate environment might factor into your decision
- Straightforward communication throughout, without jargon or overselling
- A marketing approach built around what matters to buyers looking in Huntington, including transit access and local character
- No pressure to list before you are ready; many of their conversations start well before a home goes on the market
