Cover Story'Queen of Retail' Leaves for Prudential

One of the city's largest residential real estate firms has scored a coup by hiring a broker who has been called the "Queen of Retail." Faith Hope Consolo left Garrick-Aug Worldwide on Friday for Prudential Douglas Elliman, where she will head up an expanded retail division. Neither of the city's other top residential agencies, the Corcoran Group and Brown Harris Stevens, has a large retail division, and Prudential's hiring of Ms. Consolo should allow it to offer developers a fuller menu of brokerage services.
