Our story

Corcoran has set the standard in the residential real estate business for almost five decades.

My Name is Barbara
A self-described straight-D student named Barbara Corcoran, just 23 years old, founds an eponymous residential real estate company in a tiny office on the Upper East Side of Manhattan with seven eager agents and a $1,000 loan.
1973
Made in Manhattan
Corcoran grows beyond the Upper East Side, opening a downtown office. The Upper West Side follows in 1989. Today, the company serves Manhattan from the Cloisters to Battery Park with eight offices and more than a thousand agents.
1983
Sale of the Century
In the driest days of a historic real-estate drought in New York City, Corcoran concocts a radical word-of-mouth “One Day Sale,” discounting 87 apartments in 17 buildings and putting every last one of them into a contract in the span of 24 hours.
1991
New Developments
Corcoran partner Pamela Liebman, who joined the company as an agent in 1984, founds Corcoran Group Marketing, a division dedicated to the planning, design, marketing, and sales of exceptional residential development projects.
1995
Home on the Web
Corcoran rolls into the Information Age with the debut of Corcoran.com. In 2003, lauded for the site’s elegance and ease of use, Corcoran wins the Web Marketing Association’s WebAward for Outstanding Achievement in Web Development.
1995
Brooklyn Bridged
Corcoran crosses the East River with 30 agents in three Brooklyn offices. Today, the company dominates here, with 350 agents in seven offices, $3.2 billion in sales, and a hand in 40 percent of the borough’s residential real estate transactions.
1998
CEO for a New Century
Barbara Corcoran taps Pamela Liebman to become the company’s new President and Chief Executive Officer. In 2007, Liebman makes the first of Crain’s New York’s biennial lists of the most powerful women in New York City.
2000
A Place in the Sun
Corcoran dons its Wayfarers and plants a flag in Palm Beach, acquiring two of the city’s most respected real estate brokerages. And in 2005, the company adds to its Florida story with the purchase of one of the top firms in Delray Beach.
2003
Hamptons Homecoming
Acquiring a pair of prominent brokerage firms, Corcoran debuts in the Hamptons with close to 200 agents. And in 2006, the company doubles its East End reach with the purchase of the area’s biggest agency, Allan M. Schneider Associates.
2003
Show Me the Money
Corcoran earns a reputation as a record-breaker with a $45-million condominium sale, the biggest in New York City history. The company handily tops it in 2015 with a $101-million condo deal and in 2017 with a $80-million townhouse sale.
2003
Revolutionizing Rentals
Corcoran dives headlong into rental scene with the acquisition of Citi Habitats, New York City’s biggest rental brokerage firm. In the past three years alone, Citi Habitats has any helped more than 40,000 New Yorkers find new apartments.
2004
Good Day Sunshine
Corcoran Group Marketing and the Sunshine Group merge to become Corcoran Sunshine, NYC’s premier new-dev firm. With $40 billion in sales to date, CS reps such icons as 56 Leonard, 220 Central Park South, and 15 Hudson Yards.
2005
Words to Live By
Corcoran defines its inclusive worldview with the lauded “Live Who You Are” campaign, expressed through the lens of photographer Tina Barney. In 2014, the company reaffirms the message in a series of 12 portraits by the great Annie Leibovitz.
2006
We Give Together
Corcoran launches Corcoran Cares to encourage agents and staffers to take part in the company’s charitable initiatives. To date, the program has raised more than $1 million for causes including cancer research, elder care, and arts education.
2007
You Really ‘Like’ Us
Corcoran triumphs on social media, building a devoted following with irresistible content and some clever extras, like the 2014 Facebook app that allowed fans to create their own Annie Leibovitz-style “Live Who You Are” portrait.
2010
Higher Intelligence
Corcoran opens Agent Studio in Manhattan’s Gramercy neighborhood, enriching the agent experience with a catalog of free classes on all aspects of the real estate business, technology, marketing, social media, and personal growth.
2017
Ready for the World
Corcoran announces plans to share its respected name and peerless values with carefully selected franchisees in exceptional real estate markets—big cities and leisure destinations—across the country and around the world, beginning in 2019.
2018

A First-Time Buyer Pours Years of Savings Into a Brooklyn Condo. Which One Did He Choose?

3/19/2020

Featuring Anthony Morris: 

To find the ideal one-bedroom, this Bay Area transplant looked in newer buildings with relatively few units. Here’s where he wound up.

Jamil Walker thought his first home purchase would be in the San Francisco Bay Area.
 
Around two years ago, while living and working there, he came close to buying a condominium under construction. But instead, Mr. Walker, who had previously lived in Brooklyn for 14 years, decided to return to New York.
 
“A lot of my peers who don’t live in coastal cities bought earlier,” he said. “I was never sure about where I wanted to plant roots, but I spent my formative years in New York, and it felt like home.”
 
Besides, he learned that in New York he could get more for less. “Why is it cheaper to buy in Brooklyn than in the Bay Area?” he asked himself. “It was crazy.”
 
[Did you recently buy or rent a home in the New York metro area? We want to hear from you. Email: thehunt@nytimes.com]
 
A year and a half ago, Mr. Walker, now 40, was able to transfer to the New York office of Facebook, where he works in communications. He rented a one-bedroom in a new Long Island City, Queens, building while he went on the hunt.
 
For years, he had been putting every spare dollar into his condo fund. “If I got a bonus at work, it went to the condo fund,” he said. “Friends would say, ‘Let’s go on this trip,’ and I would say, ‘No, I am putting that in my condo fund.’ I was very disciplined when it came to that account.”
 
His Long Island City rental building had a gym and a pool, but his apartment faced a dim inner courtyard, and the neighborhood felt sterile.
 
“As nice as those buildings are, it didn’t feel like a community,” he said. He preferred something smaller and homier. His budget for a one-bedroom condominium was up to $700,000.
 
He wanted a washer-dryer (or at least a hookup), a dishwasher, central air-conditioning, private outdoor space and a good spot for his beloved 43-gallon saltwater fish tank — features he was likelier to find in a new building.
 
Mr. Walker enlisted the help of Anthony L. Morris, an associate broker at the Corcoran Group, who was referred by a former boss.
 
Ideally, the unit would be on a top floor. Mr. Walker learned the value of that when he had an upstairs neighbor who exercised at the crack of dawn. He often asked whether the floors in a building were concrete, a question typically met with a noncommittal response: “Let me get back to you.” (Nobody did.)
 
“On multiple occasions, we had the opportunity to go into the apartment above to check the noise,” said Mr. Morris, who would stomp around upstairs while Mr. Walker listened from below. If he could hear footsteps, he would cross the unit off his list.
 
Among his choices:
 
No. 1
 
Top-Floor Bushwick Condo
 
This apartment was around 640 square feet, on the coveted top floor of an elevator building with a common garden and roof deck.
 
The price was $542,000, with monthly charges in the low $900s.
 
No. 2
 
Bed-Stuy Condo With Roof Deck
 
This apartment was nearly 700 square feet, on a low floor in a walk-up building with a shared roof deck. There were huge windows in the living room and bedroom.
 
The price was $689,000, with monthly charges of a little over $700.
 
No. 3
 
Bed-Stuy Condo With Balcony
 
This unit, around 720 square feet, was on the top floor of a new four-story building, with outdoor space reachable through the bedroom and living room.
 
The price was $599,000, with monthly charges of less than $600.

His Choice
 
Bed-Stuy Condo With Balcony
 
The Bushwick condo was too close to the elevated M train, and Mr. Walker knew the noise would make him miserable.
 
The condo in Bedford-Stuyvesant with the shared roof deck was perfectly nice inside, except for the closet space.
 
“I knew I could not fit my life into the tiny closets,” Mr. Walker said. And while there was room to build a closet, he added, “I didn’t want to do construction on a new-construction apartment to make a closet.”
 
Although he preferred an elevator building, he figured a walk-up climb wouldn’t be too bad. He paid the asking price for the Bed-Stuy condo with private outdoor space, closing days before his 40th birthday. He arrived in the fall.
 
“It’s a charming stunner with Italian appliances I’d never heard of until I attended the open house,” he said. “I have a place that’s mine, that I can design any way I want to. The ability to make changes has been fun.” He had the closet interiors customized, and added a glass shower door.
 
He has faced some new-construction issues, including a roof leak and buckling floorboards from a dishwasher leak, but the developer made repairs.
 
“I have such an affinity for Brooklyn,” Mr. Walker said, noting that two of his friends live within walking distance.
 
“I didn’t know my neighbors in Long Island City because it was a 300-unit building,” he said. “This building is so small, I know my neighbors. It is always nice to have that rapport.”
 
Mr. Walker recalled reading about declining rates of black homeownership, and aiming “to break those rates.”
 
He added: “Both my parents instilled in me the importance of homeownership and how to build wealth. It makes me proud. To be able to finally use that condo fund for something I can call home has been extremely rewarding.”
