Lawrence Rich, the former fashion designer who jumped from Prudential Douglas Elliman to CORE last year, has rejoined his old firm.
Prudential Douglas Elliman announced today (Wednesday) that Rich, has re-joined and will be based out of Elliman’s flagship East Side office at 575 Madison Avenue as senior vice president and associate broker.
“We are thrilled to welcome Lawrence back,” said Dottie Herman, president and CEO of Prudential Douglas Elliman.
“Lawrence is truly talented. His unique background in fashion combined with his knowledge of the New York real estate market have been and will continue to be a tremendous asset to the company. We look forward to a very successful future together.”
Ranked in the Diamond Circle category of top producers, Rich completed 20 multimillion-dollar transactions within his first 14 months as an agent. Another year, he sold three apartments at 310 E. 53rd street in just one day.
“I really missed Douglas Elliman and I’m happy that they missed me, too,” said Rich. “Elliman feels more like a family and I am thrilled to be back.”
Prior to his career in real estate, Rich was a prominent figure in the fashion industry, co-founding his own high-end women’s knitwear company “Rich and Levy.” His designs were sold in top retail stores around the world, and worn by celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey and former First Lady Nancy Reagan.
