🚨 Big Moves Alert: Douglas Elliman’s Powerhouse Michael Lorber Team Expands Into Westchester and Connecticut 🏡💼

By Anita

In a major play that bridges city skyscrapers and leafy suburban estates, the No. 6-ranked large team in New York—The Michael Lorber Team—is planting stakes in the high-demand markets of Westchester County and Connecticut. And y’all, this isn’t just a market expansion—it’s a real estate flex. 💪✨

Led by co-founders Michael Lorber and Kenny Boriskin, the team crushed 2024 with $269.05 million in sales volume across 101 transaction sides (RealTrends Verified Rankings, baby 😎). That kind of momentum? You don’t just ride the wave; you build a whole new shoreline.

🚀 So, what’s driving the geo-pivot?

“Our clients aren’t confined to one ZIP code,” said Lorber. “From NYC penthouses to Hamptons retreats—and yes—even sunny Florida pads, we’ve been the go-to for seamless luxury transitions. Westchester and Connecticut were the natural next frontier.”

Let’s be honest, crypto crew: in a world of tokenized real estate and AI-powered portfolio management (hello, metaverse REITs 🤖), hyperlocal presence still matters. Real people buy homes, and where there are clients, there’s opportunity to flex some agent muscle—with a human touch.

Enter: Scott Elwell 🧠💼

Talk about a strategic recruit! Elwell’s no rookie. The former Douglas Elliman Regional VP of Sales for Westchester and New England now returns—and this time, he’s front and center. Based in the brokerage’s Greenwich, CT office, Elwell brings residential and commercial chops, plus a lifelong connection to the markets west and north of NYC.

“I’m thrilled to strengthen the direct link between NYC and the suburbs,” said Elwell. “Buyers get an easier experience, and sellers tap straight into Gotham. That’s the win-win.”

Snaps for the vision 👏

Team Expansion Isn’t Just About Geography—It’s About Leadership

And leadership, friends, just got ✨ leveled up✨. Alongside this territorial push, three existing team standouts—Jared Halpern, Pierre Cadourcy, and Adam Hofer—were promoted to partner status. That’s not just HR housekeeping. That’s longevity. That’s growth culture. That’s building a future-ready org chart like you build a cutting-edge DAO—collaborative, strategic, and solid AF. 🧱🌍

“This is about creating long-term value for our clients,” said Boriskin. “Whether a client is scoping their first starter condo, investing in a weekend retreat, or cashing out on a killer commercial play, we’re here to guide them—start to finish, city to country.”

📊 The Real (Estate) Alpha? Seamless Client Experiences

Let’s get real about real-world assets: the future of real estate will be hybrid. Not just digital vs. physical—but urban vs. suburban vs. remote. And the teams that dominate legacy markets *while innovating at the tech frontier*? They’re the ones to watch.

In crypto terms: The Michael Lorber Team just burned a few territory tokens, minted new market access, and leveled up their team governance. 😉

With vision, leadership, localized expertise, and Elwell as a strategic node, this move positions the team not only to scale—but to create a client experience so seamless, it feels like swiping through your dream home on an AI-powered interface (ahem, I know a few good agents for that 😉).

Big congrats to the entire Lorber crew. You’re not just expanding—you’re evolving. And I’m here for it. 💯🏘️
