After three years at Sotheby’s International Realty, Megan Sullivan joins Elliman as an individual agent. Sullivan co-founded Greenwich, Connecticut-based Select Client Team, which was the state’s top small team with $137 million in revenue in 2024, according to RealTrends.
Sullivan, who had more than $100 million in sales last year, according to an Elliman spokesman, will join the brokerage’s sports and entertainment division.
Sullivan began her career as an agent with Compass in 2020 after working in finance for a decade. She moved to Sotheby’s in 2022, where she co-founded the Select Client Team with Steve Archino, a longtime Sotheby’s agent.
Sullivan said she started thinking about a move last summer, before the $4 billion merger of Compass and Anywhere announced in September. But Sullivan said the deal “definitely had something to do with it” as she looked for a brokerage she said was more tailored to her luxury brand.
When Sullivan originally started at Compass as an early agent in the Greenwich office, it had several thousand agents at the brokerage. By the time she left for Sotheby’s, “it was a very, very different feeling,” Sullivan said.
“Now with the Anywhere merger, Compass/Anywhere is approximately 350,000 agents,” she said. “My clients are discreet, I work in the luxury market and I want a luxury boutique company to support them and me.”
More than 40 percent of Sullivan’s deals last year were off-market, something she says helped carve a niche in the wealthy tri-state enclave. Last year, Sullivan represented the buyer in an $11.5 million sale at 38 Aiken Road. She also brought in buyers for two different homes – a $15.5 million sale at 111 Conyers Farm and an $8.5 million sale at 10 Hurlingham Drive – in the private Greenwich residential community known as Conyers Farm.
The addition of Sullivan gives Elliman a foothold in Greenwich, said Michael Liebowitz, CEO of Douglas Elliman.
“Megan is at the forefront of a lot of agents we get through the door who don’t want to be part of this giant conglomerate, but want a much more personal, luxurious experience,” he added.
A spokesperson for Sotheby’s International Realty did not respond to a request for comment.
The brokers have traded star agents back and forth during busy years for both companies over the past year.
Compass completed its merger with Anywhere in January, bringing more than 300,000 agents and brands such as Corcoran, Coldwell Banker, Century 21 and Sotheby’s International Realty under its umbrella.
Elliman is also reshaping its brand. The company jettisoned its property management division in October and has seen a number of executives leave the New York office in recent months.
In December, Heather Domi, veteran New York City agent and co-founder of New York Residential Agent Continuum, returned to Elliman after seven years at Compass, and one of Houston’s top agents, Dana Johnson, also moved from Compass to Elliman last month.
Meanwhile, Compass has signed a number of top New York City agents from Elliman, including 24-year veteran Holly Parker, Lindsay Barton Barrett and Dennis Mangone.
