Doug brings an unequalled array of skills and experience to the real estate industry. In the late 1970’s, when Doug entered real estate, and bought his own brokerage, the industry was challenged high interest rates and a relatively “green” field of agents. Nonetheless, Doug grew his brokerage 200% in the first year and introduced many innovations that refined the real estate industry. Some of these are noted below. Darien, Decades ago
