In a move that “underscores its commitment to New England,” Douglas Elliman Realty has opened its first office on Nantucket, the company said in a statement released yesterday.

“We could not be more thrilled to land on Nantucket,” Douglas Elliman CEO Scott Durkin said in a statement. “While our agents have done exponential business throughout the Cape and Islands over the past two years, we are proud to finally lay down roots and continue to grow our presence in this prestigious market.”

Elliman in 2020 allowed agents to work virtually, including on Martha’s Vineyard, Cape Cod and Nantucket. After two remote years in the Cape and Islands, the brokerage officially opens its doors for business at 12 Oak Street.

“When it comes to expansion, our mantra is to service the places that our clients want to call home,” Richard Ferrari, president and CEO of Brokerage, New York City and Northeast Region at Douglas Elliman said in a statement. “Opening an office on Nantucket is a natural next step for us. This new space will allow our agents to thrive in a comfortable environment and be active, engaged members of the community.”

Active Elliman agents on the Cape and Islands include Michael Passaro, Craig Brody, Jesse Greenstein, George Jedlin, DJ Gendreau and Allison Cameron Parry.
