Marisa Chaves Vice President, Associate Broker

One of her many satisfied clients best describes Marisa’s selling style: “One, she brings the considerable resources of the Corcoran Group to the project. Two, she understands the market and she knows the properties. If she doesn’t know your building yet, she will certainly know what makes it uniquely attractive before the first open house begins. Three, she loves the process: that means she stays on top of the details and works to keep your apartment in front of buyers throughout the period it might be listed. Four, she knows how to ‘close’ a sale and stays with it until the transaction is legally closed. Five, she is delightful to interact with: she’s upbeat, considerate, energetic (but never overbearing), and sympathetic.”

“Market Knowledge. Market Power.” Marisa works in partnership with Corcoran Group Vice President Chiqui Gavilan to ensure the best possible outcome for their buyers and sellers, who rely on the team’s exemplary service and market knowledge to help them navigate the emotionally and financially demanding complexities of Manhattan’s real estate market. Marisa and Chiqui are dedicated to meeting sellers’ and buyers’ needs through a winning formula of professional sales service, creative marketing alternatives, and an in-depth knowledge of Manhattan’s real estate market. They know that the sale or purchase of your home is likely to be among the most important personal decisions and financial transactions of your lifetime. For this reason, always adhering to the highest professional standards, they sell real estate the way they would want it sold to them: they take the time to listen and to understand your goals and financial requirements, thoroughly educate you on the market, and help you to arrive at an informed decision. Marisa and Chiqui have an uncanny ability to facilitate a win-win exchange for both parties to a transaction. Whether you are a buyer or a seller, their job is to provide you with all of the resources necessary to help you achieve your real estate goals.

The team’s transition from the corporate world to partnering professionally at Corcoran has enabled the duo – who share all of life’s joys and challenges – to realize their dream of working together in their own business in a dynamic industry that takes full advantage of their talents and intense love of New York, where they work and play. Together, they are unmatched in their ability to deliver great service to their appreciative clientele, handling every transaction with skilled professionalism and earning the trust, good will and respect of all involved. From day one, clients and customers in every price range know that they are in exceptionally capable and caring hands. Nearly 100% of Marisa’s and Chiqui’s business is referral-based, and they are part of a select few at Corcoran with advanced relocation accreditations from Cartus Broker Network and USAAMoversAdvantage Program.

Prior to her career in real estate, Marisa was an established senior management executive with 13 years of sales and marketing experience in the television and radio industries. As Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Telemundo Group, Inc., Marisa achieved record sales and set the standard in creative use of media resources for such national clients as Coca-Cola, Sears, and Anheuser Busch.
