Top Douglas Elliman team expands into Westchester, Connecticut

Top-performing Douglas Elliman-brokered large team, The Michael Lorber Team is expanding into Connecticut. 

The Michael Lorber Team is the No. 6 ranked large team in New York after recording $269.05 million in sales volume across 101 transaction sides in 2024, according to the 2025 RealTrends Verified Rankings. 

“Our team has built a strong reputation representing clients in New York City, The Hamptons and Florida, so expanding into Westchester [County] and Connecticut felt like a natural next step,” Michael Lorber, the co-founder of the team, said. “Many of our buyers and sellers already have homes across these markets, and we want to offer them the same level of service and expertise wherever they live.”

The New York City-based team announced the addition of Scott Elwell to the team on Friday. 

“I’m thrilled to strengthen the direct link between NYC and the suburbs, making the process more seamless for buyers and giving sellers invaluable access to the city market,” Elwell said.

Elwell, who will be based out of Douglas Elliman’s Greenwich, Connecticut office, is a former executive at the brokerage, having served as the regional vice president of sales for Westchester and New England. He has a background in both residential and commercial real estate. 

“By broadening our footprint, we’re able to seamlessly guide clients through every stage of their real estate journey — whether it’s a primary residence, a weekend retreat, or an investment property, Boriskin, the team’s other co-founder, said. “Ultimately, this expansion allows us to deepen relationships, reach new audiences, and continue delivering the results that our clients expect from us.” 

In addition to Elwell joining the team, Michael Lorber Team co-founders Lorber and Boriskin, promoted three existing team members Jared Halpern, Pierre Cadourcy and Adam Hofer to partner status.
