Douglas Elliman Realty promoted its Senior Executive Regional Manager of Sales for Hamptons and North Fork, Todd Bourgard, to Chief Executive Officer of Long Island, Hamptons and North Fork.
In his new role, Bourgard will oversee operations throughout the entire Long Island region, totaling 36 Elliman offices and over 2,000 real estate agents located throughout Nassau and Suffolk counties, the Hamptons and the North Fork, and Bayside, Queens.
Additionally, Melody Newberry, who has served under Bourgard as VP of Operations, Hamptons and North Fork, will also be promoted to VP of Operations, Long Island, Hamptons and North Fork.
"Stepping into this role is the biggest honor of my career," said Bourgard. "I'm thrilled to be a part of it all, and as we join our Hamptons and North Fork operations with greater Long Island, I look forward to continuing the legacy of success and market leadership that my friend Ann Conroy and I have worked to establish."
Howard M. Lorber, Executive Chairman of Douglas Elliman said that Bourgard has been integral to the company’s growth in the Hamptons and on the North Fork, recruiting many new top-performing agents, while retaining the talent.
"He is a highly skilled and valued executive, and we're thrilled to see him take his talents to the next level with Douglas Elliman,” said Lorber.
After obtaining his Real Estate license in 1997, Bourgard became one of the top realtors in the Hampton Bays area. After Douglas Elliman appointed him manager of their Hampton Bays office, it quickly became the number one real estate office in Hampton Bays. In 2019, he was promoted to Senior Executive Manager of Sales for the Hamptons Region.
Bourgard's predecessor, Ann Conroy, has been appointed Chairwoman of Douglas Elliman Long Island.
In her new role, Conroy will serve in an advisory capacity to Bourgard as well as continue to mentor Douglas Elliman managers and agents throughout the Long Island region.
"It's been a privilege to serve as CEO of Long Island and I'm enormously proud of our accomplishments as a region," said Conroy. “With great excitement for what's on the horizon, I trust that Douglas Elliman Long Island is in very capable hands with Todd, who I deeply respect and admire, and I wish him the best of luck on his journey as CEO.”
