JOHN DUGAN
My great love for NYC, paired with my passion for cultivating deep, personal relationships with my clients, and leading my team is a combination that is rewarding. Throughout my time in the US Marine Corps and in working in Michelin Starred restaurants in Manhattan, I was able to hone my ability as a leader in intense and demanding settings. Building a real estate business from scratch was no easy task and initially I relied on working in volume to surmount many challenges. With Elegran’s support, I’ve been able to work smarter, and have gained time back by utilizing in-house support.

JARED ANTIN
I began my career in real estate as an assistant for two agents. This allowed me to learn the nuts and bolts of the business. The opportunity to begin at the bottom was really the best gift, allowing me to learn and gain an appreciation for all the moving pieces which are vital for deals to happen. In that role, I learned the importance of attention to detail, and that doing the little things right and in a systematic way is the key to scaling success in this business. Working with Elegran has allowed me to choose my own path, going from an entry-level position and parlaying that experience into my current role as Managing Director of Elegran. After all, you can’t build a skyscraper on a weak foundation.
