Noble Black at Douglas Elliman

What Noble Black at Douglas Elliman does

Noble Black at Douglas Elliman (also DBA "Noble Black & Partners") is a boutique residential real estate advisory team of 12 licensed professionals led by founder Noble Black, with partner-level operators Jamie Gagliano (Partner & COO) and Justin Figari (Partner). The team operates as a "private real estate office" within established national brokerage platforms (historically The Corcoran Group, with current indications of affiliation with Douglas Elliman), leveraging the parent's listings database, marketing infrastructure, and brand reach while maintaining boutique positioning. Its core business is human-mediated brokerage representation for ultra-high-net-worth buyers and sellers of luxury residential property in New York City (primarily Manhattan) and The Hamptons, with active listings spanning approximately $695,500 to $44,950,000 across condominiums, penthouses, townhouses, and waterfront estates.

The team monetizes exclusively through transaction-based real estate commissions, with rates negotiated per deal rather than publicly disclosed. Distribution is concentrated in the NYC/Hamptons luxury corridor, sourced through a combination of press and earned media (Architectural Digest, NYT, WSJ, Bloomberg, Bravo's Million Dollar Listing NYC), the branded property website nobleblackandpartners.com, an active Instagram presence (@nobleblack1), and intra-Corcoran/Douglas Elliman network referrals. Ancillary offerings include new development marketing, global listings access, and a branded market intelligence publication called "The Watchcase."

Noble Black individually holds California DRE license #10301211307 and has maintained 13 consecutive years on the Wall Street Journal/The Real Deal "Thousand" top-producer list (2012-2025), nine consecutive years on the NYC Top Broker Ranking (2017-2025), and six consecutive years on both the "Real Estate Elite" and "New York Power Broker" designations (2021-2026), in addition to a 2026 placement on "The Most Powerful People in Real Estate." The firm operates as a privately held team under the brokerage brand rather than as an independent legal entity, with no disclosed venture, private equity, or public ownership structure.
