- Dottie Herman. She took her local brokerage to New York City with the acquisition of Douglas Elliman and then expanded her empire to Westchester, Palm Beach, Miami and Aspen -- and, this month, to Beverly Hills.
- Herman bought Douglas Elliman about 14 years ago when she realized there wasn't a strong connection between real estate in the Hamptons and buyers in Manhattan.
