Douglas Elliman honored its top-performing brokers Out East before the summer crowds descend on their turf.
The firm announced the winners of its annual Ellie awards on Wednesday, with veteran recipients returning to the top spots on Long Island’s East End. Brokers in the Hamptons joined others in markets across the country tapped for accolades based on their sales volume, number of transactions and gross commission income in 2024.
Douglas Elliman claimed the title of the top brokerage in the Hamptons in The Real Deal’s latest ranking. The brokerage closed nearly $1.5 billion in sales across more than 430 deals between June 2023 and June 2024.
“I am incredibly proud of this continued success,” Tom Bourgard, head of Elliman’s operations across Long Island, wrote in a statement.
Thomas Cavallo took home the prize for the most sales and commissions earned last year by an individual agent. Though the Sag Harbor-based broker didn’t land the leading post in 2023, has previously ranked among the firm’s top producers in the region.
Second place went to Martha Gundersen, who was one of the three top finishers in the categories last year. Gundersen, alongside the No. 3 agent by GCI and sales volume Paul Brennan, was the listing agent for an East Hampton property that landed among the top 10 most expensive deals in the hamlet in 2024. The mansion at 253 Cove Hollow Road sold for $19.2 million.
Gundersen placed 17th among TRD’s ranking of the top-producing agents and teams in the Hamptons between June 2023 and June 2024 with nearly $91 million in sales.
Kristy Naddell on the North Fork closed the highest number of transactions for the fourth consecutive year.
The Enzo Morabito Team scored the No. 1 spot by sales volume, transactions and GCI. The team also snagged fourth place in TRD’s latest ranking with roughly $150 million in sales across 46 deals.
Also notable among the teams honored in the Ellies was Noble Black & Partners, who landed among the 10 groups with the largest sales volume last year. The cohort, which was the No. 2 megateam companywide, only officially expanded to the Hamptons in May.
On the rest of Long Island, Maggie Keats was the top agent by GCI and sales volume, while Barbara Leogrande was the No. 1 in transactions. The Maria Babaev Team was the top-producing team by GCI and sales volume, with the Lina Lopes Team notching the highest number of transactions.
