“Garden City is a sought-after town to live in, known for its gorgeous residential neighborhoods… and its great proximity to five LIRR stations and New York City,” said Dottie Herman, president and CEO of Elliman. “This new office is a great opportunity for us to solidify our presence in a strong market place and I expect our agents to be very successful there.”

Herman actually began her career on Long Island, purchasing Prudential Long Island Realty in 1989. After turning the company into the powerhouse brokerage operating on Long Island and in the Hamptons, she purchased Douglas Elliman, Manhattan’s largest and most prestigious brokerage firm, with her partner Howard Lorber in 2003, transforming the company into what it is today. — Katherine Clarke
