Lucky To Live Here joins SERHANT. in Long Island expansion

Long Island’s Lucky To Live Here Realty has joined SERHANT., bringing a $1 billion-plus sales track record and a four-person team to the brokerage’s New York expansion, the company announced earlier this month.

Co-founders Elena D’Agostino and Joyce Mennella, both native Long Islanders, launched Lucky To Live Here Realty in 2010. Since then, the firm has closed more than $1 billion in sales volume and recorded $59 million over the past 12 months, according to the announcement.

Elena D’Agostino and Mennella bring a combined three decades of experience to SERHANT. D’Agostino has been recognized by the Suffolk County MLS for highest gross commission income and highest priced residential sale, and was named Long Island Business News’ (LIBN) 2015 Top Producer by GCI and Top Residential Sale. Mennella was named to LIBN’s Top 50 Women in Business in 2020.

Also joining from Lucky To Live Here are broker Sari Eidelkind, who was selected as a 2019 Long Island Board of Realtors (LIBOR) Top 20 Under 40 and salesperson Lauren D’Agostino.

“SERHANT. allows us to stay true to our boutique, relationship-driven roots while offering our clients an even greater level of service and exposure,” Elena D’Agostino said in the announcement. “We have always felt aligned with the brand as we were one of the first real estate companies on Long Island to utilize social media marketing. We feel incredibly lucky to be joining the like minded innovative thinkers at SERHANT., and look forward to introducing SERHANT. to our community and clients.”

The move gives SERHANT. a deeper foothold in the Long Island market as the firm continues to expand across both the East and West Coasts. Earlier the year, SERHANT. announced the launch of its Boston operation followed by its launch in five California markets, including Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco.
