In an exciting marriage of two brand, retail real estate industry luminaries Faith Hope Consolo and Joseph Aquino, formerly vice chairman and managing director at Garrick-Aug Worldwide, Ltd., have aligned forces with preeminent real estate brokerage Prudential Douglas Elliman, Consolo and Aquino, who will serve as chairman and executive vice president, respectively, will head the firm's newly expanded retail leasing and sales division, according to Dottie Herman, CEO of Prudenial Douglas Elliman.
"When you think of retail, certainly Faith Hope Consolo is right on top of the list," said Herman.
Consolo, who founded her former company's international division in 1987, said, "We have been approached by dozens of companies over the years, but none of them offered the added value for our clients that Prudential Douglas Elliman did. When Dottie and I first met, we knew immediately that we could harness the tremendous resources of Prudential Douglas Elliman to build the 'You Need Faith' brand to a new level."
