Douglas Elliman will reportedly require all staff to show proof of vaccination or begin regular COVID testing, effective this coming Monday.
According to the Real Deal, the move follows the enforcement of the “Key to NYC” vaccination mandate, which requires businesses in the city to check for proof of vaccination before allowing patrons to enter. Douglas Elliman is the largest brokerage in New York.
Elliman also has brokerages in Connecticut, New Jersey, Florida, California, Texas, Colorado and Massachusetts.
A source tells the Real Deal that execs have told the team that all employees working in a Douglas Elliman office must show proof of full vaccination or provide a negative Covid test to the HR Department every Monday.
The Corcoran Group, another New York power player, has already implemented similar vaccine or testing requirements for team members.
