DOUGLAS ELLIMAN · HEAD OF GROWTH
Ben Otto
Brokerage experience.
A builder’s mindset.
I build the teams, partnerships, and systems that help businesses enter new markets and grow.

WHY DOUGLAS ELLIMAN
Exceptional producers.
A platform that earns
their loyalty.
I’m interested in helping build a cohesive national growth platform where recruiting and retention reinforce each other.
At Side, I helped build a strategic partnerships function and expand a brokerage into six new markets. I later built a revenue organization from founder-led selling. I would bring both experiences to Elliman: understanding the brokerage partnership decision and building the discipline behind it.
Currently based in the DC area. My wife and I want to relocate to the NYC / Connecticut area, and I’m interested in a New York City–based role.
