NEW YORK, Aug. 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Douglas Elliman, the largest brokerage in the New York Metropolitan area and the second largest independent residential real estate brokerage in the United States by sales volume, is pleased to announce that Stephanie Garbarini, a marketing leader and branding specialist, has been named the firm's new Vice President of Marketing.

Her New York City tenure includes notable contributions to J. Crew, Liz Claiborne, Barneys, and most recently, the Ascena Retail Group.
