Ruthie and Ethan Assouline, the dynamic husband-wife duo behind The Assouline Team at Douglas Elliman, are trailblazers dominating the luxury real estate markets of Miami and New York City. Their unparalleled expertise in luxury and collectible property sales has earned them a reputation for closing headline-making deals, successfully closing nearly half a billion in sales since 2020 alone.
From the record $29 million sale of Madonna’s former Miami Beach mansion to representing celebrities like Victoria’s Secret Angel Karolina Kurkova, The Assouline Team’s client roster is as impressive as it comes. Their sales artfully span iconic New York neighborhoods like Tribeca and SoHo to Miami’s ultra-exclusive Bal Harbour and North Bay Road, and the lush enclaves of Coconut Grove and Pinecrest.
The Assouline Team reigns as the #1 team in Bal Harbour by sales volume in 2023, and in March of this year, they took the #1 spot for sales at Douglas Elliman in NYC. As seasoned brokers intimately familiar with the synergies between these coastal cities, they leverage their time split between Bal Harbour and the Upper East Side to deliver an unmatched level of service, expertise and discretion. Offering a diverse combination of financial expertise, in-depth industry knowledge, and exceptional marketing prowess, Ruthie and Ethan’s strengths create an unparalleled force in the industry.Together, they thrive on being an all-encompassing and reliable resource for their clients, helping them navigate each transaction with energetic passion, a custom approach and concierge-style attention – putting the client first.
Recognized for their uncompromising integrity and discretion, they pride themselves on maintaining privacy for their global network of elite clients. The team recently closed an off market penthouse for $33 million in downtown New York City, and their latest trophy listing is a $28.5 million waterfront estate in the guard-gated village of Bal Harbour that comes with approved plans by renowned architect Elicyon. With breathtaking water vistas and meticulous details, the property epitomizes sophisticated living.
While New York City real estate will always be seen as the center for power and influence, all eyes have turned to Miami with its relentless ascent. Fueled by an influx of groundbreaking development projects and migrating business, The Assouline Team remains at the forefront. With global superstars like Lionel Messi and business titans like Jeff Bezos flocking to the city, Miami’s drawing power is undeniable, and the dynamic duo expects the momentum to propel the market even further.
