On March 14, Douglas Elliman announced the winners of the 2024 Ellie Awards, which honor the firm’s top-performing agents throughout the nation for 2023. Top performers from both Westchester and Connecticut were among the honorees this year.
“In the face of financial and market headwinds across the industry, Douglas Elliman agents persevered and prevailed, all while demonstrating characteristic resolve, ingenuity and professionalism,” said Howard M. Lorber, Executive Chairman of Douglas Elliman. “We could not be prouder of what they have accomplished.”
“Douglas Elliman agents show, time and again, that they are second to none," said Scott Durkin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Douglas Elliman Realty. “These best-in-class agents are the ones who trust in their experience and draw on their resourcefulness to thrive in any market.”
Nationwide, 37 Elliman agents and teams closed 47 deals over $25 million, including the two most expensive sales in Connecticut history, which were also ranked among the top ten sales nationwide. Stephanie Bo Li secured the buyer for the top sale in Connecticut and the fourth largest sale in the country with Copper Beech Farm in Greenwich, which last asked $150 million. The second largest sale in Connecticut and the seventh largest sale nationwide was Great Island in Darien. Jennifer Leahy, founder of The Jennifer Leahy Team, represented both sides of the $85-million deal.
“I am beyond proud to congratulate our record-breaking agents for this year’s Ellies,” said Richard Ferrari, President and CEO of Brokerage, New York City and Northeast Region. “While some would argue 2023 was a difficult year for real estate, our agents continue to persevere, develop their craft and close competitive deals. I applaud them on yet another successful year and wish them even more achievements in 2024.”
