Douglas Elliman Inc.

Overview

Douglas Elliman Inc. is engaged in the real estate services and property technology investment business and is seeking to acquire or invest in additional real estate services and property technology, or PropTech, companies. Douglas Elliman owns Douglas Elliman Realty, LLC, one of the largest residential brokerage companies in the New York metropolitan area, which includes New York City, Long Island, the Hamptons, Westchester, Connecticut and New Jersey, and also conducts operations in Florida, California, Texas, Colorado, Nevada, Massachusetts, Maryland, Virginia, Washington D.C., Arizona, New

Hampshire and Michigan. We also offer, including through our subsidiaries and ventures, ancillary services, such as property management, title and escrow services.

Douglas Elliman Inc. is a Delaware corporation incorporated in 2021 in connection with the separation of Douglas Elliman from Vector Group Ltd., as an independent, publicly traded company, listed on the New York Stock Exchange. On December 29, 2021, Vector Group completed the distribution of the common stock of Douglas Elliman to its stockholders (the “Distribution”), and we began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “DOUG” on December 30, 2021.

Strategy

Since its inception in 1911, Douglas Elliman has challenged the status quo of the real estate industry. We were founded on Douglas L. Elliman’s vision that New Yorkers would shift their preference for traditional homes to favor luxury apartments that were both sold and managed by comprehensive real estate companies. More than a century later, the Douglas Elliman brand is still associated with service, luxury and forward thinking — our markets are primarily international finance and technology hubs that are densely populated and offer housing inventory at premium price points. The average transaction value of a home we sold in 2024 was approximately $1.67 million — significantly higher than our principal competitors.

We are building on our record of innovation. Douglas Elliman is focused on digitizing, integrating and simplifying real estate activities for our agents and elevating their clients’ experiences. We are bringing innovative, technology-driven PropTech solutions to Douglas Elliman by adopting new PropTech solutions for our agents and their clients and investing in select PropTech opportunities through our subsidiary, New Valley Ventures LLC. Our model is to source and use best-of-breed products and services that we believe will increase our efficiency. In addition to entering business relationships with these PropTech companies, we are committed to creating over time a dynamic portfolio of PropTech companies by leveraging our relationships to provide them access to our agents and their clients, as well as our knowledge and experience. We believe these collaborative relationships are mutually beneficial because they keep Douglas Elliman both asset light and on the cutting edge of the industry by offering our agents innovative solutions and services that can be integrated into our technology. Furthermore, we maintain upside potential in the success of our PropTech partners in which we invest through minority stakes in their capital structures.

Douglas Elliman boasts a prestigious luxury brand that is complemented by a comprehensive suite of technology-enabled real estate services and investments. These distinguishing qualities position us to capitalize on opportunities in the U.S. residential real estate market. Despite various “agentless” models such as “iBuying,” approximately 90% of sellers and 88% of buyers were assisted by a real estate agent or broker when selling or purchasing their home between July 2023 and June 2024, according to the National Association of Realtors, or NAR, highlighting the central role agents continue to play in real estate transactions. Agents are able to generate significant repeat business from clients and referrals, with 66% of home sellers between July 2023 and June 2024 choosing to collaborate with an agent they had used in the past or from a referral, according to the NAR. Repeat business, as well the ability to provide ancillary services, allows agents to extend their client relationships and generate significant lifetime value.

After a strong 2021, when existing home sales reported by the NAR reached their highest level since 2006, the residential real estate brokerage industry began experiencing significant challenges in the second quarter of 2022, which have continued to date. These challenges have been marked by a reduced inventory of homes available for sale, which we believe has been caused by elevated mortgage rates since early 2022. According to the NAR, sales of existing homes of 4.06 million in 2024, which was the lowest amount since 1995, declined from 4.09 million in 2023 and 5.03 million in 2022. By comparison, our transactions increased by 1% to 21,781 in 2024 from 21,606 in 2023. We began to see a stabilization in our revenues during 2023. This trend continued throughout 2024, and our revenues were 4% more than in 2023. Based on cash receipts in January and February 2025, we expect these increases to continue in the first quarter of 2025 and the NAR and other real estate industry consortiums are forecasting similar increases in the U.S. residential real estate market in 2025.

Despite these macroeconomic challenges, we believe our competitive advantages in the luxury markets distinguish us from our competitors and our comprehensive suite of real estate solutions, our industry-leading brand name, and our talented team of employees and agents set us apart in the industry. In 2024 and 2025, Douglas Elliman was named the most trusted real estate brokerage firm in the United States as part of the America’s Most Trusted Series by Lifestory Research. As the real estate brokerage industry evolves and addresses these challenges related to constrained inventory of homes as well as higher mortgage rates, we continue to pursue profitable growth opportunities through the expansion of our footprint, investments in cutting-edge PropTech companies through New Valley Ventures, continued recruitment of best-in-class talent, acquisitions (acqui-hires), and operational efficiencies. We will continue to employ a disciplined capital allocation strategy aimed at generating sustainable long-term value for our stockholders.

Real Estate Services

Large residential brokerage company with a recognized luxury brand. Douglas Elliman is one of the largest residential brokerage companies in the New York metropolitan area, which includes New York City, Long Island, the Hamptons, Westchester, Connecticut and New Jersey. As of December 31, 2024, Douglas Elliman has 121 offices with approximately 6,200 real estate agents in the New York metropolitan area, as well as in Florida, California, Texas, Colorado, Nevada, Massachusetts, Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C. The Douglas Elliman name is synonymous with luxury.

Prominent new development sales and marketing firm. Douglas Elliman’s Development Marketing division, or DEDM, distinguishes our positioning and reputation in the luxury real estate segment. DEDM is sought after by well-known real estate developers as it offers expertise in sales, leasing, and marketing for new developments throughout key markets in the United States and internationally. Drawing upon decades of experience and market-specific knowledge, DEDM offers a multidisciplinary approach that includes comprehensive in-house research, planning and design, marketing and sales. DEDM ranks among the most prominent sales and marketing firms in New York and Florida, as well as Douglas Elliman’s other luxury markets, and employs approximately 86 in-house development professionals. Through a strategic global alliance with Knight Frank Residential, the world’s largest privately-owned property consultancy, DEDM markets properties to international audiences. We employ a hybrid broker model where our traditional residential real estate agents work in tandem with our DEDM professionals and leverage their extensive industry relationships for the benefit of DEDM clients. Agents are able to market and sell high-profile developments that enhance their brands and provide additional commission revenue potential. We believe this model provides a competitive advantage to our DEDM business while also increasing the attractiveness of the Douglas Elliman platform to current and prospective agents.

Premium residential property management business. Douglas Elliman is also engaged in the management of cooperative, condominium and rental apartment buildings through its subsidiary, Residential Management Group, LLC, which conducts business as Douglas Elliman Property Management. As of December 31, 2024, Residential Management Group provides a full range of fee-based management services for approximately 450 properties representing approximately 55,000 units in New York City, Nassau County, Long Island City and Westchester County.

Full-service title insurance business. Douglas Elliman is also engaged in the provision of title insurance services through its subsidiary DE Title Services. DE Title Services acts in the capacity of a title insurance agent and sells title insurance to property buyers and mortgage lenders. DE Title Services is licensed as a title insurance agent in New York. In addition to DE Title Services, in June 2021, we acquired a 50% interest in Partners Land Services LLC, which is engaged in the provision of title insurance services in Florida. Douglas Elliman is actively exploring similar ventures in other real estate markets.

Leading provider of escrow services. In November 2020, Douglas Elliman acquired Portfolio Escrow, an escrow company that is a leader in the California escrow market. After execution of a home purchase contract, purchase funds are deposited by the buyer into a Portfolio Escrow trust account. After all parties agree that the contingencies of the sale contract have been satisfied, Portfolio Escrow delivers all pertinent documents for recording to the appropriate county clerk’s office and then releases funds to the seller and any other agreed-upon entity. Portfolio Escrow, as an escrow holder, is paid a fee equal to a percentage of the sales price.

PropTech Solutions Supporting Real Estate Services

Our PropTech strategy leverages best-of-breed, proven legacy technologies and selective partnerships with early-stage, disruptive PropTech companies to support our real estate brokerage and services operations. This strategy supports our stakeholders, including our agents, their clients and our management team, by providing them with access to fast-changing and industry-leading technology. We believe technology innovation is best fostered in these smaller, purpose-built PropTech companies to develop new products rather than inside of a large company, such as Douglas Elliman, because in-house technology is generally more costly to develop, takes longer to bring to market and rarely generates the most cutting-edge solutions. By using PropTech solutions and offering a suite of cutting-edge applications, our open architecture technology infrastructure provides users a “plug and play” environment where new features and functionality can be quickly added for the benefit of our agents and their clients. This helps ensure our technology remains state-of-the-art, vendor optionality is maintained, and our costs are minimized. Examples of our PropTech platform for Douglas Elliman’s agents and their clients are summarized below.

MyDouglas portal supports our agents in managing their business anytime, anywhere and on any device. Our MyDouglas agent portal is built on a native cloud SaaS technology foundation that is designed to rapidly adjust and incorporate new innovative solutions. The user-friendly portal incorporates automated and simplified workflows for agent interactions, expansive data-rich dashboards and reports backed by artificial intelligence, or AI, and integrated data assets. The technology is completely “plug and play” enabled, which supports our ability to quickly adjust our solutions in concert with the digital transformation happening in PropTech today.

Components of our MyDouglas solution include integrated customer relationship management, email marketing, marketing content creation and management, transaction management, video creation and virtual tours, comparative market analysis, home valuation tools, listing analytics, digital ad campaigns, open house management, new development sales and digital marketing, artificial intelligence, predictive analytics and more.

MyLearning provides our agents and employees with additional development and growth opportunities. Our MyLearning platform enables Douglas Elliman agents and employees to access and participate in live and recorded on-demand training sessions directed at various experience levels and subjects, including professional development, entrepreneurialism, business writing, public speaking and marketing.

Elliman Essentials provides agents and employees with enhanced vendor access. Elliman Essentials provides a curated list of offerings from preferred vendors that Douglas Elliman’s approximately 6,200 agents and an additional 409 employees access to source products, services and experiences to enhance business practices and purchase closing gifts for customers. Elliman Essentials can be accessed on our intranet portal, MyDouglas.

Elliman Showroom is a client and customer lifetime concierge solution. We are offering seasoned third-party products into Elliman Showroom, a white-glove homeowners engagement solution that provides access to services such as insurance, moving, telecommunications, utilities, solar home security and home services and facilitates the moving and home management needs of our agents. This simple, “do-it-yourself,” end-to-end digital homeowner engagement platform includes more than 40 direct partnerships and integrations across multiple industries. It leverages our investee and growing PropTech startup, LiveEasy.

PropTech Investments

In addition to leveraging PropTech solutions to support our real estate brokerage and services operations, we believe that by investing in early-stage PropTech companies, Douglas Elliman can gain differentiated access to innovative PropTech services while benefiting from the expected growth and valuations of these firms without the need to build or fully acquire them. We believe investing in these PropTech companies and investment funds enables us to establish relationships with these companies (and funds’ portfolio companies) to seek preferred terms, become an early adopter of emerging technologies and achieve greater product integration with our users and technology applications. At the same time, we are actively seeking to capitalize on our unique real estate knowledge and experience by investing in PropTech companies that will both supplement and enhance the technology-based experience of Douglas Elliman’s agents and the general real estate industry as well as improve our operating efficiency. For example, the foundation for our agent communications platform and customer relationship management system was developed in consultation with one of our PropTech investee companies. We believe that these investments provide us with unique access to cutting-edge and industry-leading technology, providing us with valuable technology systems to improve the efficiency of Douglas Elliman’s businesses while also capturing some of the value created by the combination of our expertise in the real estate industry and the PropTech companies with which we partner.

As of December 31, 2024, New Valley Ventures had investments in PropTech companies and funds (at a carrying value) of approximately $11.4 million. This amounts to approximately 2% of the value of Douglas Elliman’s total assets, which totaled approximately $494 million, as of December 31, 2024.

As of December 31, 2024, our PropTech investments included:

•Rechat: a lead-to-close, fully mobile technology dashboard for real estate agents including marketing, customer relationship management and transaction-management software. Douglas Elliman has a multi-year services agreement with Rechat for its agents, who are increasingly requesting and requiring superior access to technology and back-office support services. The Rechat technology is a key element of MyDouglas, Douglas Elliman’s primary agent portal designed to be our agents’ technology front door, and StudioPro, the cloud-based agent portal and marketing tool recently launched by Douglas Elliman that helps integrate all agent resources in one user-friendly suite.

•Purlin: an automated intelligence company that powers multiple platforms for Douglas Elliman including: a personalized collaboration platform to aid in home discovery for agents’ clients, an agent “paid social media” integration into MyDouglas that enables intelligent campaigns to promote specific listings, and client and agent portals and automated communications for Portfolio Escrow that also integrate with MyDouglas.

•LiveEasy: a client- and customer-facing digital concierge service designed to assist clients and customers moving into and “setting up” their new homes, while offering additional services to maintain their homes. In partnership with residential real estate brokerages, LiveEasy is delivered in a white-labeled format that features the name and contact information of the selling agent. New Valley Ventures monetized its investment in LiveEasy in 2024 and received approximately $6.4 million and recorded a gain of approximately $4.6 million.

•Fyxify: a tech-enabled platform that utilizes direct scheduling and operating technology to avoid the inefficiencies of home repairs.

•Bilt: a leading loyalty program and co-branded credit card for renters to earn points on their rent payments. Douglas Elliman has joined the Bilt Rewards Alliance, a network of more than two million rental units across the country where renters can enroll in the loyalty program to earn points on rent paid. This platform enhances Douglas Elliman’s suite of offerings for both the renters and landlords it represents. New Valley Ventures monetized 50% of its $500,000 investment in Bilt in 2024 and received approximately $1.3 million and recorded a gain of approximately $1.0 million.

•Persefoni AI: a software-as-a-service, or “SaaS,” platform built to enable enterprises of all sizes to measure their carbon footprint accurately, dynamically and regularly across all operations.

•Tongo: a financial program that gives real estate agents instant access to future commissions up to 60 days before closing.

•Guest House: a tech-enabled company focused on the home staging market.

•Alpaca: investment in Getaway House, Inc., a start-up company that provides cabin rental services in rural areas throughout the United States.

• Infinite Creator: investment in Infinite Creator, a do-it-yourself video creation app that allows any agent with a phone to walk through a guided process and film the key pieces for a high-end luxury presentation video.

•PropTech Venture Capital Funds: investments in the following venture capital funds providing us with exposure to opportunities in the emerging PropTech industry.

◦Camber Creek Venture Capital Funds: two funds that invest in a diversified pipeline of new PropTech ventures. Camber Creek’s portfolio includes Notarize, a digitized notary service, and Curbio, a renovation firm designed to increase a property’s selling price. Camber Creek has also invested in Bilt.

◦Sum Ventures: a fund that invests in growth companies in PropTech, FinTech, and CleanTech industries.

◦MetaProp Venture Capital Fund: a fund advised or managed by a New York-based venture capital firm.

◦The Lab PropTech Fund: a fund advised or managed by a Miami-based firm that aims to invest in emerging technologies with a focus on residential real estate and construction services.

Other than the five private funds listed above in which New Valley Ventures invests as a limited partner, all of these companies currently provide technology or services to Douglas Elliman. Because these PropTech companies and funds are accounted for as investments, we have not recognized revenue from these PropTech investments to date and do not anticipate recognizing revenue from these PropTech investments in the future. However, we target earning an attractive rate of return from the capital appreciation of our PropTech investments.

In 2023, New Valley Ventures monetized two PropTech investments, EVPassport and Envoy, and recorded gains of $715,000 and $160,000 respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2023. In 2023, New Valley Ventures also determined that the fair value of its investment in Audience was zero and reported realized losses on convertible debt securities of $236,000 for the year ended December 31, 2023. In 2024, New Valley Ventures monetized two PropTech investments, LiveEasy and Bilt, and recorded gains of $4.6 million and $1.0 million respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Our Competitive Strengths

Leading luxury brand with a strong presence in markets where we have brand recognition and brand equity. We have a strong presence in most major luxury real estate markets in the United States, including New York, Florida, California, Texas, Colorado, Nevada, Massachusetts as well as the Washington, D.C. Metro area, which includes Maryland, Virginia and Washington D.C. Further, we have established a reputation for luxury and trust, which we believe has differentiated our brand from those of our peers. To build on this established brand presence, Douglas Elliman produces proprietary content and generates earned media regarding a range of relevant topics — including brand initiatives, exclusive listings, new development projects and closed deals — that resonate with our clients and contribute to a strong share of voice across all major markets in which we operate and enhances the professional credibility of agents and executives whose thought leadership is often sought by major global media outlets.

Experienced team of talented agents and employees. The residential real estate business is built upon personal relationships, and we have long believed Douglas Elliman’s team of approximately 783 employees and approximately 6,200 agents (including 5,264 Principal Agents), as of December 31, 2024, distinguishes us from other residential real estate brokerage firms. We define principal agents as number of teams, plus the number of individual agents not on teams. Forbes recognized Douglas Elliman in its 2021 list of America’s best large employers.

Leading new development marketing platform. DEDM offers leading expertise in sales, leasing, and marketing for new developments in New York City, Long Island, the Hamptons, New Jersey, South Florida, California, Massachusetts and Texas, as well as throughout the United States and internationally. We believe Douglas Elliman’s “hybrid” platform of involving both experienced new development experts and skilled brokerage professionals provides highly differentiated expertise and real-time market intelligence to its clients.

Technology that we believe is industry-leading and supports recruitment and retention of agents. We provide our agents with what we believe is the most advanced set of digital-and mobile-enabled tools and resources in the residential brokerage industry, including cloud-based agent portal, workflow processing, commission system, customer acquisition tools, Innovation Lab, customer relationship management (“CRM”) and marketing tools. These tools are designed to support agent productivity, earnings potential and satisfaction, and we believe they enhance our efforts to recruit and retain high-performing agents.

Growth Strategy

Expand our footprint into adjoining markets. We strategically aim to build on our leadership position in the New York metropolitan area, including New York City, Long Island, Westchester and the Hamptons, while entering and expanding in complementary markets as well as key markets in Florida, California, Texas, Colorado, Nevada, Massachusetts, Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C., where the Douglas Elliman brand has strong awareness and brand equity.

Continue executing the growth strategy of DEDM. Our hybrid DEDM platform matches experienced new development experts with skilled brokerage professionals to provide differentiated expertise and real time market intelligence to DEDM’s developer clients. We believe there is a clear path to growth through expansion into new markets.

Provide ancillary services to enhance the client experience and drive growth. We are seeking, through investment and acquisition, to expand and optimize our ancillary real estate services that allow our agents and our other businesses to enhance the client experience and drive growth in revenues and earnings. These services include escrow, title, mortgage finance, property management, notary, staging, renovation, security, moving, capital fundraising for developers, and more. We expect technology to be a key differentiator as we grow our ancillary services businesses, in terms of adoption by our agents, delivery to their clients and disruption of traditional business models not yet transformed by technology.

Invest in compelling PropTech opportunities that facilitate our growth and competitive differentiation. Our goal is to build a portfolio of investments in PropTech companies and leverage their technology for the benefit of our agents and their clients. We believe that investing strategically in disruptive, early-stage PropTech companies equips Douglas Elliman stakeholders with early and differentiated access to new technology built in entrepreneurial environments, while enabling PropTech investee companies to access our knowledge and experience through our commercial relationships to grow their own businesses. Concurrently, we believe investing in these PropTech companies enables us to establish relationships with these companies to seek preferred terms, become an early adopter of emerging technologies and achieve greater product integration with our users and IT systems, which enhances our competitive differentiation with agents and their clients. Furthermore, we maintain upside potential in the success of our PropTech partners in which we invest through minority stakes in their capital structures.

Continue to recruit best-in-class agents. Our recognized brand, combined with DEDM and the PropTech resources provided to our agents, support our ability to recruit experienced, high-performing agents. Leveraging regional recruiting teams, along with CRM and other necessary technology support, we seek to continue recruiting best-in-class talent at all levels.

Relentlessly pursue operational efficiencies. We have an ongoing, firm-wide focus on expense control, operational efficiency and profitability.

Human Capital

We have long believed that the diversity and talent of our people provides a competitive advantage to Douglas Elliman. As of December 31, 2024, we employed approximately 783 employees, of which 409 were employed by Douglas Elliman Realty LLC, 216 were employed at Douglas Elliman Property Management and 158 were employed at Douglas Elliman’s corporate headquarters.

Real Estate Brokerage. The residential real estate business is built upon personal relationships and we have long believed Douglas Elliman’s team of employees as well as approximately 6,200 agents distinguish us from other residential real estate brokerage firms. Forbes recognized Douglas Elliman in its 2023 list of America’s best employers. We believe this recognition is a testament to the hard work and resiliency of the Douglas Elliman family. We are proud that women are well represented in our leadership as they comprise 46% of our “Executive/Senior Level officers and managers” and 65% of our “First/Mid-Level officials and managers.”

While most of Douglas Elliman’s employees are located in the New York and Miami metropolitan areas, our agents are primarily located in New York, Florida, California, Texas, Colorado, Nevada, Massachusetts, Maryland, Virginia, Washington, D.C. and the Bahamas. In an effort to continue to foster relationships with our employees and agents, Douglas Elliman’s management implemented the following initiatives:

•At Douglas Elliman we regularly host company-wide virtual town halls, podcasts, and communications across all regions. These town halls are intended to promote a spirit of camaraderie, educate our employees and agents, and strengthen our culture of connectivity and entrepreneurialism.

•In 2024, we hosted the record-breaking virtual Elliman Summit, a three-day event that brought together 9,786 agent participants across 31 sessions. The Summit featured top coaches and agents from around the country who shared their expertise, strategies, and experiences.

•We also introduced Elliman Empower where we provided open office hours, offering personalized support 3–4 times per week to answer questions, explore tools, and refine skills to enhance the success for our agents.

•In 2023, we launched the inaugural “Agents of Change” initiative. “Agents of Change” is a series of conversations designed to spotlight pressing social issues and celebrate the Douglas Elliman agents who are actively working to increase diversity and spark change in the real estate industry and society at large. The initial event, held in honor of Black History Month, involved listening to five members of the Douglas Elliman community discussing their personal and professional experiences as people of color working in residential real estate and highlighted the scope of the diversity, equity and inclusion challenges facing the industry. This event is expected to be held again in 2025. The series will be an ongoing process designed to foster a respectful and supportive workplace that enables Douglas Elliman to attract and retain a diverse workforce that represents our customers and its communities. Since its inception, we have hosted panels hearing from women at Douglas Elliman who are shattering glass ceilings and members of the Asian American and Pacific Islander community whose work has left a mark on our firm and industry at large.

•We continued to support diversity efforts, including sponsoring Aspen Gay Ski Week, matching employees’ and agents’ contributions to the NAACP Legal and Education Fund, the AAPI Community Fund and various other health and social charitable organizations.

•Through our robust community minded platform Elliman Cares, we continue to support organizations benefiting victims of various Florida hurricanes, California wildfires, Texas and Puerto Rico flood disasters and the Ukraine Humanitarian Crisis Fund of the American Red Cross. Douglas Elliman also supports health driven organizations including God’s Love We Deliver, Project Angel Food, and the American Cancer Society. Our annual bike-a-thon, The Ride for Love, has raised more than a million dollars to date for God's Love We Deliver.

In addition, Douglas Elliman offers comprehensive benefit programs to its employees which provide them with, among other things, medical, dental, and vision healthcare; 401(k) matching contributions; paid parental leave; and paid vacation time.

We value employee wellness and as such, we also provide an Employee Assistance Program offering virtual support services from healthcare to mental health, along with access to financial advisors through Morgan Stanley, both fully employer paid.

We will continue to listen, while engaging and connecting with our employees and agents, to further our human capital management objectives.
