A Northport resident for nearly 45 years, Hinton is an active member in the community, belonging to the Northport Yacht Club, Northport Village Residents Association, and Northport Historical Society.

“The biggest change in the real estate industry over the past 40 years has been the technology,” Hinton said. “When I first started, contracts were handwritten and the mortgage rates were at 8.5 percent. Now, we’ve moved to a paperless market and rates have been cut in half. It’s an entirely evolved era.”
