In an unstable real estate market characterized by various challenges, Ernie Carswell recently transferred his license from Douglas Elliman to Sotheby's International Realty. In an interview, he discussed the discomfort stemming from industry disruptions, including personnel changes and regulatory shifts. Carswell emphasized the importance of enduring stability in real estate and noted the satisfaction of receiving multiple brokerage invitations at this stage of his career. His decision reflects a broader sentiment among agents in search of solid ground amid chaos, illustrated by other departures from Elliman towards more stable firms like Sotheby's.
I think regular old people want to be part of something that will endure, Carswell said of what Sotheby's offers. Change is very disturbing when it comes in such big clumps.
I went shopping and [brokerages] came calling, Carswell said. I received a number of invitations, and I must say it was very gratifying to be at this station in my career.
