In October, Mark and I traveled to Las Vegas for the Elliman Endeavor Conference—an immersive, future-forward gathering of the nation’s top luxury agents, hosted at the iconic Wynn Las Vegas. This wasn’t just another industry summit; it felt like the beginning of a new chapter.
We were energized by the opportunity to deepen relationships with the best agents across the country—allowing us to extend our white-glove service far beyond New York City for our clients.
We were also excited to hear the major announcement that Elliman struck an $85 million deal to sell its property management arm to PMG Holdings, a subsidiary of Associa, one of the largest property management firms in the nation. According to CEO Michael Leibowitz, the deal represents a “tremendous opportunity” for Elliman, strengthening our ability to deliver highly personalized service with more agility than a traditional corporate structure.
The conference left us inspired, aligned, and ready for what’s next.
Defining the Next Era of Real Estate
Endeavor was more than a celebration of Elliman’s legacy—it was a vision board for what’s coming next. From new tools that redefine client experience to provocative ideas about where—and how—people want to live, it felt like stepping into the future of our industry.
One of the most exciting moments was the announcement of Douglas Elliman’s rebranding partnership with Watson, the renowned creative agency known for elevating global brands like Mandarin Oriental and Four Seasons. Founder William Richmond-Watson took the stage and gave us an exclusive preview of the brand evolution coming in Spring 2026. The message was clear: legacy and luxury are being reimagined for a new generation.
Evolutionary ideas and agent expertise dominated the Elliman Endeavor stage, where breakout panels and keynotes from Michael S. Liebowitz, Jay Phillip Parker, Not Impossible, Crystal Washington CSP, and Jesse Israel showcased innovation and thought leadership, alongside the exciting announcement that Elliman has officially landed in France and Monaco.
AI, Innovation, and Lifestyle-Driven Strategy
From the panels to the intimate hallway conversations, one theme echoed throughout: innovation is no longer optional—it’s expected.
We explored how AI is transforming listing strategy, why marketing must tap into emotion—not just features—and how our clients today are investing in more than homes. They’re choosing lifestyles, legacies, and locations that reflect who they are and where they’re going.
What resonated deeply was the emphasis on emotional intelligence in business—leading with intention, earning trust, and crafting experiences that resonate far beyond closing day. This affirmed everything I believe about what it means to be a modern luxury agent.
Where Community and Culture Converge
The energy was electric. Agents from New York, LA, Miami, Aspen, and beyond gathered to connect, share, and elevate one another. There’s something powerful about being surrounded by professionals who think boldly, act with integrity, and challenge the status quo.
Every detail was curated—from the visionary keynotes to the elegant evening experiences. And the Wynn Las Vegas was the perfect backdrop—equal parts sophistication and edge.
A perfectly curated Event by Our Leadership and Marketing Team
Under the leadership of President and CEO Michael S. Liebowitz, this event was a testament to Elliman’s unwavering commitment to innovation, excellence, and agent empowerment.
We were also incredibly impressed by the Douglas Elliman marketing and PR team—especially Stephanie Garbarini, Jennifer Holmes, Tiffany Lee, and their phenomenal team—for the elegant branding, thoughtful gifts, and beautifully curated experiences. The custom Elliman tote bags and elevated gifting moments reminded us why detail and presentation matter—and how proud we are to represent a brand of this caliber.
A Strong Well curated Luxury lifestyle Brand, Elliman
I left Endeavor not just inspired—but activated. I’m ready to help my clients navigate this market with sharper tools, deeper insights, and a stronger global perspective.
The future of real estate is here—and it’s visionary, intentional, and driven by purpose.
If you’re thinking about making your next move in NYC or beyond, let’s talk. I’d love to show you what’s possible when luxury meets strategy.
