Douglas Elliman Real Estate Sealed More Deals Than Any Other Real Estate Firm in Manhattan

May 21, 2016

This month The Real Deal Magazine announced that the Douglas Elliman Real Estate sealed more deals than any other real estate firm in Manhattan. Douglas Elliman Real Estate hit the No. 1 spot with $6.13 billion in sales over the last year. This number is up 43 percent from the previous year and represents $700 million more than the nearest competitor.

According to E.B. Solomont’s article, ‘œThe Real Deal based its rankings on closed transactions in Manhattan for which the firm held the exclusive listing during the 12 months that ended on February 29. It does not include buy-side deals.’ The Top 25 firms closed more than $20.8 billion worth of transactions during the 12 month period.

The writer credits the increase in sales volume to the influx of new condo sales. The many deals that were written pre-construction and have been under contract for months and even years are finally closing. Solomont also notes that an increase in prices over that last few years means that fewer sales resulted in a higher sales volume. See full article for details

South Florida Douglas Elliman Real Estate agents Nicholas Malinosky and Randy Ely are not surprised by the good news. Mr. Malinosky and Mr. Ely know that their fellow Manhattan Corcoran colleagues are the top agents in the industry. It is no secret that Douglas Elliman Real Estate agents achieve record breaking sales year after year in the luxury real estate markets of South Florida and New York.

Goldman Sachs CEO Sells $13 Million Hamptons Home

May 20, 2016

According to the Wall Street Journal, Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein has finally sold his home in the Hamptons. After several previous attempts to sell with other real estate firms, Blankfein listed the property three months ago with Douglas Elliman Real Estate agent Susan Breitenbach.

The home located on Parsonage Lane in Sagaponack was first listed in 2007 for approximately $14M. The home was listed again in 2015 for $16.996M with subsequent price reductions to $15.9 and then $14.5. Susan Breitenbach of the Douglas Elliman Real Estate listed the property in February 2016 at $12.995M and now has the property under contract. See WSJ article by Candace Taylor

According to 27east.com, Lloyd Blankfein and his wife Laura built the 6,500 square foot house two decades ago. The seven bedroom residence sits on 2.7 acres and features a media room, gym, sunken tennis court and a 45-foot pool with pool house. See 27east.com article by Tom Clavin

According to Business Insider, the Blankfeins purchased another home in 2012 in Bridgehampton worth $32.5 million. Business Insider writer Dennis Green states that this is ‘œreportedly the reason’ Blankfein decided to sell the Sagaponack property. See Business Insider article

Actor Richard Gere just listed his North Haven mansion with Douglas Elliman Real Estate’s Susan Breitenbach. According to 27east.com, the celebrity’s home had not sold previously even after an $11 million price reduction. By listing with Corcoran, Gere is hoping to have the same result as Blankfein.
