Given that the formidable\u00a0duo boasts over 200 years of collective\u00a0experience in the industry\u00a0(Douglas Elliman is the fourth largest residential brokerage in the U.S., while\u00a0Knight Frank Residential\u00a0reigns as the largest in the United Kingdom), the unprecedented alliance\u00a0will without a doubt\u00a0have an incredible impact on the global real estate marketing landscape.<\/p>\n

Under the new partnership, the two firms will share market resources for domestic and international properties in the top 10% of each market they service, including New York City, the Hamptons, Long Island, Westchester, Los Angeles, and South Florida. Together, the companies will market more than $38 billion worth of fine luxury properties, and will\u00a0leverage their reach via a combined network of over 20,000 agents spread throughout\u00a0400 offices across\u00a052 nations.<\/p>\n
