Adam Rothman is a highly recognized industry professional with multiple honors to his credit that include the firm's prestigious “Excellence in Real Estate Award,” as well as consistently being awarded, year after year, the Chairman's Pinnacle Club Award, that places him in the top 1% of Sales Professionals in the Country.

A top producer with Douglas Elliman for over 30 years, Adam is a respected and accomplished Manhattan broker with uncommon energy, distinct style and extraordinary knowledge that make him one of the best in the business. Blending his dynamic personality, humor and efficiency, he can quickly pinpoint exactly what customers are looking for, and ultimately produce extraordinary results. Adam also makes a point to educate customers on the intricacies of New York Real Estate. “You have to empower people with knowledge. I like to give a lesson without teaching,” says Adam, who because of his unique approach has positioned himself as an authority in both residential leasing and sales.

From the moment he started at Douglas Elliman, Adam took command as one of the most successful agents in the company, earning consistent prestigious awards, year after year. Perhaps even more impressive is the fact that all his clients and customers come as referrals. With his strong relationships and intense service focus, he has also become a favorite for top companies who supply him with their ongoing Corporate Relocation business.

While his work is fast-paced, Adam's manner is remarkably relaxed. When accompanying clients in their search for a home, he makes the experience seamless, enjoyable and efficient, getting an enormous amount of work done in a very short period. “I do not waste time,” says Adam. “Simply put, I like to make it easier to find an apartment.”

Through his hard work and achievements, Adam has earned a reputation for being one of the most capable brokers in New York. As a result, he has come to work with some of the biggest and brightest people moving within or to the City. A quick list of high-profile clients, who Adam would never name, include Miramax producers, Oscar-winning actors as well as extreme high net worth individuals. Nevertheless, Adam treats these celebrity clients to the same superior service he provides to all of his customers.

What is most impressive about Adam, and what is a large part of his success, is his remarkable work ethic. He regularly works seven days a week, and arrives in his office no later than 7:00 a.m. each morning. “I plan my work and work my plan,” explains Adam of his early arrival. He adds, “Success only comes before work in the dictionary.”
