Douglas Elliman, the largest brokerage in the New York Metropolitan area?and?one of?the?largest independent residential?real estate brokerages?in the United States, is pleased to announce the newly formed Peraino & Lawrence Team. Founded by industry veterans John Lawrence and Joe Peraino, the team will service Manhattan and will focus heavily on the condo, co-op and townhome resale market. They are also quickly expanding their presence in Westchester.
Having worked together as colleagues in the past, Peraino and Lawrence have forged a unique office culture where responsiveness, transparency and client support are all top priorities.
“There are great synergies in our life experiences, professional backgrounds, interests and passions that make us successful counterpoints,” says John Lawrence. “I think together we have truly limitless potential to grow our business.”
Since joining Elliman in 2006, Lawrence has concurrently managed three offices for the company, opening the firm’s Riverdale office, and overseeing over two billion in sales annually. Most recently, he served as the Executive Manager of Sales for Douglas Elliman’s 1995 Broadway office. His skills in managing large scale projects, diverse work schedules and a wide range of communication needs inspired this partnership with Joe Peraino.
“This is a natural partnership and exciting next step forward,” says Joe Peraino. “Together, we offer a full and well-rounded service that will bring a new level of client support to buyer and sellers both. I’m excited for all the future has in store for our team at Elliman.”
Peraino’s ability to network and anticipate needs extends to his work colleagues and in building his own team, he has carefully selected some of the brightest sales and support talents at Elliman. In the past, his office has won consistent professional accolades, scoring as high as the 2nd ranked team for closed sales in 2017, and has overseen millions of dollars annually in sales. His team has also been ranked in the Top 10 at the firm for the past eight consecutive years.
Building on nearly fifty years of consecutive experience between the two, this alliance provides clients with award-winning sales strategies and full in-house office support that unifies communication, strategies, negotiation and results.
In addition to Peraino and Lawrence, the newly branded team consists of Kenneth Widerka, Jon Fisher, Mark Landrey, Richard Healy, Thomas Higgins, Yasmin Akhavan, Larry Brookner, Brian Henson, Andrew Reznik, Chloe H. Koo, A. Oaxaca, Gregory Cooper, Roberta Feldman and Patricia Slochower. They will be based out of Douglas Elliman’s 1995 Broadway office.
