Houlihan Lawrence Acquires Neumann Real Estate​ in Ridgefield

RIDGEFIELD, CT — Real estate brokerage Houlihan Lawrence has announced it has acquired Neumann Real Estate in Ridgefield and New Fairfield.

Neumann Real Estate began officially operating as Houlihan Lawrence effective March 2, with the leadership team continuing as real estate agents serving the Ridgefield and New Fairfield communities.

"It was important for us to find a partner that fits our company culturally and shares the same values on how to service our clients. I truly believe that we found that partner in Houlihan Lawrence," said Russ Neumann of the acquisition.

Like Houlihan Lawrence, with roots dating back to 1888, Neumann has been a family-owned and operated real estate brokerage for over 50 years. Founded in 1969 by Harry and Lorraine Neumann, the company is led by the family’s second generation – Chip, Russ, Jeff, Bob, and Shaylene Neumann – and, more recently, joined by members of the family's third generation.

"I have long admired the Neumann family and the great company they’ve built. This partnership brings together two like-minded companies, and we proudly welcome the team from Neumann into our family of over 1,450 agents," said Liz Nunan, president and CEO of Houlihan Lawrence.
