Douglas Elliman to Make Its Mark at MIPIM Global Urban Festival

Douglas Elliman Realty, a leading player in the luxury real estate market in the United States, is set to participate in the MIPIM Global Urban Festival held at the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès in Cannes, France from March 9 to 13, 2026. This important event marks Douglas Elliman's first appearance at the internationally renowned real estate conference, where they aim to forge strategic partnerships and investigate further opportunities for expansion in the luxury residential markets of France and Monaco.

Founded as a towering entity in the American real estate landscape, Douglas Elliman has established itself as one of the largest residential brokerage firms in the country, boasting the highest average sale price nationwide. The company initially signaled its intention to expand into international markets in June 2025, prioritizing quality over quantity as it sought to extend its premium customer service to key global markets.

October 2025 saw Douglas Elliman celebrate its first independent venture into Europe, partnering with experienced luxury real estate veterans Philippe Curutchet, Fredrik Lilloe, and Edward de Mallet Morgan. Presently, the firm operates 14 offices across France, including a location in Cannes, with plans for further expansion on the horizon.

Michael S. Liebowitz, Chairman and CEO of Douglas Elliman, expressed his enthusiasm for the company's participation at MIPIM, stating, "The timing couldn't be better for Douglas Elliman to be present at MIPIM. With ambitious plans for strategic international growth in the upcoming year, we are excited to spend time with our new French partners and meet new friends at this must-attend gathering of the industry's most pivotal players."

Elliman's approach to international growth diverges from traditional franchise models. The company is centered on carefully selecting robust operators in luxury international markets, whose work ethic and customer service standards align with its entrepreneurial culture. This strategy enables the firm to cater directly to the growing demands of its agents, clients, and development partners in need of international real estate services, eliminating reliance on third-party intermediaries.

Rich Green, involved in international growth at Elliman, remarked, "When it comes to international expansion, Elliman is committed to finding the right partners who are strong operators in the luxury international markets. We expect these operators to be present next month in Cannes, and we look forward to seeing them."
