Professional introductions
For divorce attorneys, mediators, and financial professionals
When a client’s matter includes a Long Island or Hamptons home, I can provide a written pricing opinion and, when a sale is authorized, a listing process that stays even-handed and easy for counsel to follow. Introductions are welcome. I do not pay or accept referral fees.

Real estate support that is meant to work alongside your file
I am a Licensed Real Estate Salesperson with Long Island Home Properties, LLC. I focus on seller representation on Long Island and in the Hamptons. I am not an attorney, and I do not give legal or tax advice to your clients.
What I can add:
- A written comparative market analysis (a pricing opinion, not an appraisal) that both parties can receive at the same time.
- A listing plan your clients can review before anything goes live: asking price, preparation, photography, marketing, and access.
- A communication protocol you specify: direct with both clients, through both attorneys, or a mix, with offers and material updates delivered in writing at the same time.
- Coordination with counsel and the closing attorney on dates, occupancy, and any proceeds or escrow instructions you provide.
- A discreet first conversation or valuation request for a client who is not ready to be on the market.
I am careful about the limits of my role, and I will say so if a question belongs with you and not with me.
Neutrality in practice
Authority first
I do not advocate for one spouse’s financial position in the divorce. I will not list a property without the authority your clients actually have, and I will not help one party conceal a proposed sale from a co-owner.
Market pricing, court-aware process
Pricing recommendations come from the market, not from a hoped-for settlement number. If a court order, stipulation, or settlement sets conditions on price, timing, or signatures, I work within those conditions as you share them.
If the parties do not yet have authority to sell, I can still prepare a pricing opinion for use in negotiation or mediation, with the understanding that it is an opinion, not a formal appraisal.
Introductions, without referral fees
You or your client may:
- Call or text me at 212.470.8247, or email tom@tommorganelli.com.
- Ask the client to request a confidential pricing opinion or to use the contact form.
- Schedule a short call with me first if you want to describe communication preferences or constraints before I speak with anyone.
Please tell me whether I should contact the client directly, copy both counsel, or wait for a joint introduction. I will follow the protocol you set, within the law and my brokerage’s obligations.
Referral fees and RESPA
I do not pay referral fees, finder’s fees, or any other thing of value in exchange for an introduction, and I do not accept fees for referring settlement-service business. Federal rules under the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) generally prohibit those arrangements in connection with federally related mortgage loans, and I do not ask attorneys, mediators, or financial professionals to enter into them. An introduction is not a joint-venture offer and is not a promise of reciprocal work.
Where I work
I work with sellers on Long Island and in the Hamptons, including Southampton, East Hampton, Water Mill, Bridgehampton, and Sag Harbor. If a property is outside the area I can serve well, I will say so.
