Richard Marotta

I love real estate! And it's that passion that drives me to put my whole heart and soul into every relationship with either the buyer or seller.
I grew up in Queens, NY, graduated Manhattan College in the Bronx with a BS in Marketing, married bought a house and moved to LI.
I have been in sales for over 35 years with the #1 wine and liquor distributor in NY selling to every major hotels and iconic restaurants in Manhattan and Long Island. I was the #1 salesperson for my entire career.
Helping people has always been a large part of my life. I served on the school board for many years as my children were growing up eventually becoming President. As president I organized the community to turn the school around and make it #1. My time in the scouts growing up inspired me to organized and ran the Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts at their school.
As a community minded person, I served on the board of the local Chamber of Commerce and helped my wife open and run a small business in our home town.
The time had come to combine my love of Real Estate and being of Service!
My business philosophy has always been guided by three words; PURPOSE, PASSION and PRIDE. Come start your new beginning with me and experience the PURPOSE, PASSION and PRIDE I will have for you!
I have been with Douglas Elliman 5 years, and I now can say that the old adage “it’s not a job if you love what you do” is right on the money.
