Douglas Elliman knows California’s luxury real estate market.

The expansion translates into an even broader network of luxury agents working together to connect buyers and sellers across the nation. It also strengthens the Elliman brand as a luxury leader solidifying the firm’s new marketing campaign; It’s Time for Elliman.
