Dottie Herman has come a long way from the modest red-brick Cape Cod in Franklin Square where she spent her formative years. Now the President and CEO of Prudential Douglas Elliman, Herman oversees a $14 billion real estate empire with 61 residential real estate offices from Manhattan to Montauk.
Herman now owns several homes, including a condo overlooking Manhattan’s Central Park, two homes on the North Shore, and a 5-bedroom postmodern home in Southampton that she purchased in 1998, way before her company had opened 11 Prudential offices in the Hamptons.
For a peek into the home where Herman says she gets away from it all, check out today's Newsday Part 2 story, Inside Dottie Herman’s Hamptons Getaway.
