As top talent across the country continues to change, Richard Hottinger and his team are among the latest agents to change agency affiliations. Inman learned they were returning to The Cochrane Group, more than a year after switching to Douglas Elliman.
This move for Hottingers could be described as a homecoming of sorts, although so was their move to Douglas Elliman last February. Hottinger and the team worked at Douglas Elliman from 2010 to 2015 before moving to the Corcoran Group in early 2016. The Hottinger team then worked at Corcoran Group until February 2023 when they returned to Douglas Elliman.
