Douglas Elliman Real Estate has promoted Ann Conroy to chief executive officer of the firm’s Long Island Division. Conroy, who served as president of the region for Elliman for a decade, is largely credited with turning the firm into the No. One brokerage by sales volume on Long Island.
As CEO, Conroy is charged with the strategic expansion of the firm’s Long Island footprint, agent retention and recruitment and implementing the firm’s new technological and brand platforms being rolled out in March.
“Ann works diligently each and every day to execute strategies to keep Douglas Elliman Long Island ahead of the competition,” said Howard M. Lorber, executive chairman of Douglas Elliman Realty. “Her hard work and loyalty to our brand and our agents are inspiring and I look forward to Ann’s continued success as CEO.”
Conroy was recognized as Realtor of the Year in May 2018 by Long Island Press, selected as one of Long Island’s 100 Most influential People by Long Island Press in 2019, won the Lifetime Achievement award for Top Real Estate Executive by Richner Communications Herald Community Newspapers in 2019, and was selected as one of Long Island’s 100 Most Influential People by Long Island Press. She is also a member of the board of advisors with BWG Strategy.
