Hamptons Luxury Homes’ Telemark Recognized as Best of the Best by Prestigious Hamptons Publications

Bridgehampton, NY (October 9, 2008) – Telemark, Inc., a subsidiary of Hamptons Luxury Homes, Inc. (OTCBB:HLXH), a construction services company that builds and renovates multi-million dollar estate homes in the Hamptons area of Long Island, New York, has been voted the Best Builder in the Hamptons by the readers of Hampton Style Magazine and Dan’s Papers.

According to the publications’ website “Voting for the Best of the Best is almost a birthright for East End Consumers…this title offers a prestigious recognition for local companies and year-round leaders that bring us great food, service and shopping.” The awards, now in their eighth year, are the result of more than 10,000 votes cast by residents of the area.

“This recognition is particularly noteworthy because it is a strong validation by consumers,” said Frank Dalene, President of Telemark, Inc. “To be recognized by one’s peers is always an honor and Telemark has received such recognition in the past. Yet, being recognized by the general public, which can include past, present and future clients, is a recognition that we are very honored to receive.”

Interestingly, voting in the Best of the Best does not provide voters a prepared slate. Rather, it is akin to a write-in vote – and that makes it even more special, explained Dalene. “Voters for the Best of the Best are usually an excellent barometer of what people in the Hamptons really think. And, we are delighted that our reputation for quality and service is viewed by so many that they would think of us when voting for Best of the Best.”

The award was presented to Frank Dalene at a special awards presentation held yesterday afternoon at the Bay Street Theatre in Sag Harbor.
