Meet Our Founders

Lucky to Live Here® was built on the experience, passion, and proven success of top-producing real estate professionals who proudly call Long Island home. We believe real estate is about more than buying and selling homes—it's about building relationships, strengthening communities, and helping people embrace the lifestyle they're lucky to live every day. As trusted local experts, we're committed to educating, guiding, and advocating for our clients through every step of their real estate journey.

Founders Elena D'Agostino and Joyce Mennella first partnered in 2011, united by a shared commitment to exceptional service and a vision for a more personal, community-focused real estate experience. Inspired by the idea that home is about more than an address, they launched Lucky to Live Here® Realty in 2015, creating a boutique brokerage centered on local expertise, innovative marketing, and lasting client relationships.

In 2026, Elena and Joyce proudly joined SERHANT as the Lucky to Live Here® Team. As part of one of the nation's most innovative real estate companies, they are able to offer clients the best of both worlds: the personalized attention and trusted relationships that have always defined Lucky to Live Here®, now enhanced by SERHANT's world-class marketing, global network, media reach, and proprietary technology.

Today, Lucky to Live Here® continues to grow while staying true to the values that have fueled its success from the very beginning. Known for their integrity, market expertise, cutting-edge marketing strategies, and unwavering dedication to client service, Elena, Joyce, and their team have built a business fueled by loyal clients, repeat business, and referrals.

They understand that finding the perfect home or the right buyer iis only the beginning. Successfully navigating a real estate transaction requires experience, creativity, strategic negotiation, and a deep understanding of the market. Their mission is to make every transaction as seamless, rewarding, and enjoyable as possible.

At Lucky to Live Here®, clients are never viewed as one-time transactions. They become part of the Lucky to Live Here® family- valued alumni whose relationships continue long after the closing table. Because for Elena, Joyce, and their team, helping someone find their place isn't the end of the journey—it's the beginning of a lifelong connection.
