Douglas Elliman has been named Top Residential Brokerage by Long Island Business News in its prestigious 2025 Real Estate, Architecture & Engineering Awards. The annual awards program recognizes the region’s most creative, high-impact projects and celebrates the companies and professionals transforming Long Island through design, construction, development, real estate, innovation, and more.

 

“This award is a reflection of the remarkable agents, managers, and staff who power our success every day,” said Todd Bourgard, Chief Executive Officer of Brokerage, Long Island, Hamptons & North Fork Regions, Douglas Elliman. “Our people are the reason Elliman continues to lead the market as a trusted partner in real estate. I’m proud of what we’ve built together and honored to see our work recognized at this level.”

 

The honorees were selected by LIBN’s editorial team and recognized at a ceremony on Monday, June 23 at the Crest Hollow Country Club in Woodbury, NY. In attendance were professionals from across Long Island’s real estate, architecture, engineering, and legal sectors, all gathered to spotlight innovation and achievement across the region.

The Top Residential Brokerage honor underscores Douglas Elliman’s enduring leadership in the market and unwavering commitment to excellence across Long Island, the Hamptons and the North Fork.

 

“There’s no limit to what we can achieve when we lead with purpose, support one another, and stay focused on delivering exceptional service,” added Bourgard. “This award is a win for all of us—and it motivates us to keep raising the bar.”

 

Douglas Elliman agent Julia Krispeal was honored at the awards for her work with The Royal Blue, a new rental development in Mineola that she exclusively represents. The project was recognized in the Top Smart Growth category for its smart design, walkability, and contribution to sustainable urban living on Long Island.
