Dallas Agents Rank High at Douglas Elliman’s 2023 Ellie Awards

Douglas Elliman is the relatively new kid on the block in Dallas-Fort Worth’s competitive real estate market, but some North Texas agents are already showing off some strong numbers, putting them among the top-producing agents in the state. On March 8, Douglas Elliman Realty, one of the largest independent residential real estate brokerages in the United States, announced the winners of the 2023 Ellie Awards, which honor the firm’s top-performing agents for 2022, including many from the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

“No matter the market, the region, or the challenges we face as an industry, Douglas Elliman agents never fail to rise to the occasion and exceed expectations,” said Howard M. 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.”
