LIDA DRUMMOND

Lida Drummond has been with Douglas Elliman for 25 years in New York residential real estate focusing on many aspects of the business-rentals, sales, investments and sometimes a combination of them. Originally, she came to New York to study fine art at Cooper Union where she received her B.F.A. She began her real estate career in 1990, in a down market doing rentals and has seen the many ups and downs of the market. She transitioned into sales but always kept involved in rentals as well, which has served her well. She has rented many apartments or lofts, even townhouses, which have resulted in the tenant buying the spaces. Some notable ones were The New Museum Building, 158 Mercer St, where the tenant bought the space for $4.25M, 56 Crosby St., where the tenant also bought the space for $4.25M, 321A Greenwich St., an entire townhouse that rented with a contract of sale negotiated and sold for $17,500,000. in 2013.
