Douglas Elliman super broker Dina Goldentayer was once again named the brokerage’s top agent in the nation.
The firm announced its annual Ellie Awards for 2025, and Goldentayer wasn’t the only South Florida agent to win big.

They were also the #1 and #2 agents in Florida for the brokerage, the release shows.
Wellington-based agent Maria Mendelsohn placed as Elliman’s fifth-ranked broker nationally and third-ranked broker in the state of Florida.
The Coral Gables-based David Siddons Group placed fourth nationally for large teams. The team closed $143.6 million in on-market deals, according to TRD’s 2024 ranking.
For medium-sized teams, the Exclusive Group, led by Gary Pohrer, Nick Malinosky and Devin Kay, ranked first. The Exclusive closed $517.5 million in on-market sales in Palm Beach County in 2024 according to TRD’s analysis.
