Terry Cohen — a leading New York real estate broker in the Hamptons with more than $2.5 billion in career sales — has joined Compass after leaving her role as a partner at Hedgerow Exclusive Properties.
Cohen, who closed $150 million in home sales in the past year alone, is known for representing a broad range of luxury properties in Long Island’s East End, from $1 million homes to estates priced at $100 million, the James Lane Post reported.
“I’m exactly where I want to be in my career, and I view change as an opportunity for growth,” Cohen said. “We, as brokers, to stay relevant, are constantly evolving through ever-changing markets, so change isn’t scary for me. I actually welcome it.
“Leaving Hedgerow wasn’t an easy decision, but it was met with understanding and goodwill — something I deeply appreciate.”
Her move to Compass marks a shift in her business model, as Cohen will continue independently without her previous top-producing real estate team.
Cohen said the transition allows her to expand her reach and focus on broader opportunities.
“Throughout this search, I had the chance to intimately connect with several companies, each and every one of them was impressive,” she said. “I’d like to say thank you for your time, and look forward to working together on many deals to come.
“Ultimately, Compass stood out to me and my needs. Its collaborative culture and expansive network made it the ideal choice for the next chapter of my journey — and I’m excited to lean into it.”
Joe Fuer, the managing director for Compass in the Hamptons, called the addition of Cohen a significant move for the firm.
“We’re thrilled to join forces with Terry,” Fuer said. “Her deep knowledge of the East End market and extensive experience, combined with the power of the Compass network, make this an ideal partnership. It’s a perfect alignment of talent, resources, and shared values. We’re going to have a lot of fun together.”
