"We're pleased to welcome them to the firm." In September this year, Lisa Optican, a luxury agent who brokered the deal for Marilyn Monroe's Brentwood estate, joined Douglas Elliman from Hilton & Hyland. The next month, luxury real estate agent Sandra Fiorenza also joined the firm after a 12-year stint at One Sotheby's. Earlier in November, Douglas Elliman Realty expanded into three new locations, including Washington, D.C., Arlington, Virginia, and Bethesda, Maryland, in addition to its expansions into Nevada, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Texas, California and Colorado this year. The firm also launched Elliman Productions, a content creation app powered by Infinite Creator, to help real estate agents capture videos and photos to promote their property listings.
