Lorber, Executive Chairman of Douglas Elliman in a statement. “Year after year, their tenacity and tireless determination inspire all of us in the company to achieve greater results.”
“As an agent-driven brokerage with a commitment to continuous improvement and innovation, we are innately focused on the next thing, the next deal, the next move,” said Scott Durkin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Douglas Elliman Realty in a statement. “The Ellies remind us how important it is to look back, take stock, and heartily celebrate all we’ve accomplished together.”
