We use Douglas Elliman’s vast reach to connect with thousands of prospective buyers, but when it comes to marketing your property, we have our own in-house Marketing Director and are not reliant on Douglas Elliman’s marketing. We are self-run, self-driving, and always more than a few steps ahead of the competition.

As Marketing Director for the ESPINAL | ADLER Team at Douglas Elliman, Cortnie Schultz has completely transformed the team’s digital marketing assets, including an entire brand redesign, upgraded responsive website, a completely revamped social media offering, and a full digital experience for buyers and sellers.  She is constantly analyzing data from the team’s digital platforms to better understand target markets and adjust marketing efforts accordingly. Sellers who choose to work with the EA Team have access to all marketing-related insights through Cortnie and are presented with information on how their listing is performing online from launch through contract signing.

Before moving to New York City, Cortnie spent over six years successfully re-branding and marketing over 95 mixed-use, luxury residential, student, senior, and conventional multifamily properties in her portfolio within the southeastern United States and Texas. In this role she also actively trained and acted as a main marketing and advertising resource for her company’s on-site staff members, specifically for underperforming properties to increase occupancy and generate revenue. It was because of these actions and her quantifiable accomplishments within this position that in 2016, Cortnie was recognized as the Corporate Employee of the Year by the First Coast Apartment Association and was named one of Jacksonville Business Journal’s “People on the Move”.
