Elliman looks to open NJ office

Coming off of a dismal year in real estate, Prudential Douglas Elliman’s business has tripled in 2010, Dottie Herman, president and CEO of the brokerage, told the New York Times. Elliman, which just opened an office in Williamsburg, is planning to open another in New Jersey to service its growing number of projects there, like the Residences at Liberty National. Meanwhile, the brokerage’s long-awaited, million-dollar website, currently online in beta form, is slated to be “up and running” the week after Labor Day, Herman said. “I wouldn’t want to say we’re in a sellers’ market, but people feel we’ve hit bottom. We’re getting close to where it’s pretty neutral,” she added. [NYT]
