Douglas Elliman Set to Attend MIPIM Global Urban Festival

Douglas Elliman Realty, a prominent name in the luxury real estate market, has announced its upcoming participation in the prestigious MIPIM Global Urban Festival, taking place from March 9 to March 13, 2026, in Cannes, France. This marks the first time the agency will be present at the world's leading real estate event, where they plan to discuss potential strategic partnerships and growth opportunities within the luxury housing market, particularly as they continue their expansion into France and Monaco's residential markets.

Since its establishment, Douglas Elliman has become the largest residential real estate brokerage in the United States, boasting the highest average sale prices in the nation. The company's international growth strategy was launched in June 2025, emphasizing a focus on quality service over scale. With this initiative, Elliman aims to extend its renowned customer service ethos to key global markets. Just a few months later, in October 2025, the agency made groundbreaking moves by entering Europe through collaborations with seasoned players in the luxury real estate sector, including Philippe Curutchet, Fredrik Lilloe, and Edward de Mallet Morgan.

Currently, Douglas Elliman operates 14 offices in France, including a significant location in Cannes. There are plans for further expansion soon, reflecting the agency's ambition to solidify its brand in high-demand areas. Michael S. Liebowitz, the CEO and president of Douglas Elliman, expresses great enthusiasm for their participation in MIPIM, highlighting it as an optimal moment to engage with new French partners and connect with other key players in the real estate market. He noted, “This is the perfect time for Douglas Elliman to be at MIPIM with bold plans for global growth next year.”

What sets Douglas Elliman's expansion model apart from traditional franchise approaches is its pilot strategy focused on selecting established operators in luxury global markets. The objective is to align the company’s entrepreneurial culture with high-efficiency service ethics to meet the rising international real estate demands. Rich Green, the head of global growth at Elliman, reiterated this commitment, stating, “When it comes to international growth, Elliman is dedicated to finding the right partners who are established operators in luxury global markets.”

Elliman's proactive approach ensures a direct response to the complex real estate needs of their agents, clients, and development partners without the delay of third-party intermediaries, thereby streamlining the real estate service process and enhancing customer satisfaction.

The MIPIM Global Urban Festival serves as a melting pot of innovation, strategy, and partnerships within the real estate community, making it an ideal platform for Douglas Elliman to unfold its ambitious plans. As the company prepares for this significant event, the anticipation for growth, collaboration, and success hangs in the air.

With a robust presence across residential markets, Douglas Elliman is poised to redefine luxury real estate not only in the United States but on a global scale. Onlookers and stakeholders in the real estate sector will undoubtedly watch with keen interest as the agency showcases its offerings and capabilities in France.
