Douglas Elliman holds first Florida Ellies: PHOTOS

Douglas Elliman Florida hosted its first annual Ellie awards at the Soho Beach House in Miami Beach in March.

The brokerage closed sales worth $22.4 billion nationwide in 2015, up from $18.4 billion in 2014. In Florida, the Elliman ended 2015 with a $2.4 billion sales volume, an increase of more than 100 percent from the year before, according to a press release. It also grew to more than 700 agents in South Florida, which includes Palm Beach, Wellington, Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Aventura and Miami Beach.

Just as in 2015, Pablo Alfaro of Elliman’s Miami Beach office earned the No. 1 spot for gross commission income, while the Chad Carroll Team earned the top spot among teams with the highest gross commission income. As an individual agent, Carroll also won top spot in the Miami Design District and Aventura areas. Other top teams included the Oren Alexander Team, Senada Adzem and Chris Leavitt Team, the Goihman Team and the Bill and Bryan Team.

Here’s a breakdown of the awards, which were all based on the highest commission incomes:
