ASPEN, Colo., March 1, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- On February 28th, Douglas Elliman Real Estate, the nation's fourth-largest residential real estate brokerage company, hosted the firm's world-class agents at its annual awards event – The Ellies. The event honored top performers in Aspen and Snowmass Village, and celebrated the massive growth in the Colorado residential market with sales volume up a record 140 percent. Nationwide, Douglas Elliman's total sales volume was $26.1 billion, up six percent.

Top sales in Colorado included 2800 W. Buttermilk Road for $29 million, 951 Red Mountain Road for $21.5 million and the $14.9 million sale of 803 E. Hyman Avenue, where Elliman handled both sides of the transaction.
"Douglas Elliman has flourished and grown in Colorado and we owe much of our success to our excellent agents for their incredible work," said Howard M. Lorber, chairman of Douglas Elliman Realty, LLC. "We expect our strong presence and brand to continue to grow in the region this year."

"Our exciting news in 2017 in our Western Region was the acquisition of Teles, which added Boulder to our roster of offices in the state."
