Douglas Elliman has launched Elliman International in a move to expand its services to key global markets and serve its agents, clients and developers’ growing international real estate needs. 

Elliman International’s initial focus will be on high-demand luxury destinations in Latin America, the Middle East, Europe, Asia-Pacific and other emerging wealth centers. 

“Elliman International represents the natural progression of our legacy as America’s premier luxury real estate brokerage now becoming global,” Douglas Elliman President and CEO Michael Liebowitz said in a press release. “From my first day as CEO, I recognized the need to establish our own international presence that preserves the high-level of service our clients expect. This isn’t just an expansion — it’s a transformation that positions Douglas Elliman as the truly global brand it is.” 

These core services will first be available to existing Douglas Elliman clients, followed by recruitment of teams and individual agents who will operate under the Elliman banner.  

The initiative also includes the development of physical offices in strategic markets. 

“With the ever-evolving international landscape, our clients and developers increasingly view real estate as a global portfolio, not confined by borders,” said Susan de França, president and CEO of Douglas Elliman development marketing. “Unlike many of our competitors, we will not be reliant on partnerships to define us — we are forging ahead with our own global identity that reflects our commitment to and reputation for excellence at every touchpoint.”
