About Robert Votino

Founder, Salt & Dune Property Management

Robert Votino is a seasoned professional with over 15 years of experience in high-end residential construction, estate management, and client-focused service across the Hamptons. With a background that bridges hands-on craftsmanship and executive oversight, Robert has built a reputation for precision, discretion, and deep local knowledge.

His career began in the corporate retail world, where he served as a Director of Merchandising for a major athletic brand. That early experience sharpened his eye for design, detail, and operations—but a demanding travel schedule eventually led him back to his roots in construction, where he found a stronger sense of purpose and work-life balance. He started as a finish carpenter and quickly rose to Senior Project Manager for JP Spano, one of the most respected luxury builders on the East End. After a decade of managing complex, high-stakes projects, Robert launched his own firm, R. Votino Custom Homes, overseeing ground-up builds and high-level renovations for discerning clients from Remsenburg to East Hampton.

Along the way, Robert noticed a growing need: many of his clients didn’t just want a beautifully built home—they wanted someone they could trust to care for it after the contractors left. What began as a few casual requests to "check in" evolved into a full-service offering that would ultimately become Salt & Dune Property Management.

Today, Salt & Dune is a boutique property management company with a clear mission: deliver proactive, discreet, full-time care for luxury homes. This isn’t a side gig. It’s a deeply professional, full-scale service built on experience, accountability, and long-term relationships. Whether acting as an owner’s representative during a construction project, overseeing seasonal maintenance, or conducting detailed weekly walkthroughs, Robert approaches each home with the same integrity and attention to detail he would give his own.

Outside of work, Robert is a proud husband and father who believes deeply in serving the community he calls home. In his free time, he volunteers as a firefighter, bringing the same commitment and reliability to his neighbors that he brings to his clients.

With Salt & Dune, Robert offers more than just property management—he offers peace of mind, trusted oversight, and the kind of professionalism that only comes from a lifetime of doing things the right way.
