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

The Year In Real Estate

12/27/2019

Featuring Corcoran's President and CEO Pamela Liebman: 

 
The Real Estate Market Didn’t Change Much From 2018
By Vivian Marino
 
Manhattan’s housing market trudged through highs and lows in 2019. Records were shattered. Sales surged and stumbled. Long-awaited luxury high-rises opened.
 
Yet the market over all ended little changed from 2018.
 
For many real estate professionals, this wasn’t a bad thing. “Everybody was challenged by this market, but it turned out to be much better than I thought it was going to be at the beginning of the year,” said Steven James, the chief executive of Douglas Elliman Real Estate’s New York City Brokerage.
 
Andrew Wachtfogel, the head of research for Elliman’s development marketing, seemed encouraged, too. “The market is working through its inventory. Maybe it’s bottoming out.”
 
The past decade was marked by a construction boom. Luxury inventory alone (loosely defined as properties above $3 million) jumped around 20 percent from 10 years ago, according to the appraiser Jonathan J. Miller. As supply mounted, market sentiment shifted toward buyers, who in headier days, not long ago, were readily purchasing from floor plans and encountering bidding wars that drove up prices.
 
The urgency to buy remained largely absent in 2019, as it was the previous year. Listings continued to linger until sellers lowered prices or offered other incentives. Just over half of all properties sold below asking price, Mr. Miller’s data found, while only 6 percent exceeded the price.  At the market’s peak, in 2015, nearly a third of all sales had sold above list price.
 
“We’ve had a bit of a correction, and prices are still correcting,” Bess Freedman, the chief executive of Brown Harris Stevens, said, adding that at all price points “buyers are looking for value and they’re almost insulted if you overpriced.”
 
For 2019, the average sale price for all Manhattan condominiums and co-ops was projected to rise slightly to $2.12 million from $2.07 million in 2018, according to a  year-end report by CityRealty, which tracks apartment sales.  
“There was nothing terribly different year over year,” said Daniel Levy, the chief executive of CityRealty, “2019 felt like 2018 all over again.”
 
But unlike 2018, there was a burst of activity in the second quarter (followed by a drop in the third), as luxury-home buyers rushed to avoid New York State’s higher “mansion tax” that took effect July 1. Among the dizzying number of transactions were three units purchased by Amazon’s founder, Jeff Bezos, at 212 Fifth Avenue for a total of $80 million.
 
For the year, closed transactions for all condos and co-ops was expected to reach 10,400, with sales totaling $21.2 billion, slightly lower than the 10,531 transactions in 2018 and $21.8 billion in sales, according to CityRealty. New-development sales edged higher, to a projected 1,225 totaling $5.8 billion, from 1,108 and $5.3 billion. Still, it was a far cry from the 1,848 sales totaling $8.9 billion in 2017.
 
Dominating the market was the newly opened 220 Central Park South. Seven of the city’s top 10 sales took place there, including the hedge fund manager Kenneth Griffin’s purchase of four full floors for nearly $240 million, a national record. He joined other well-heeled residents who closed on sales there over the past year. They included Gordon M. Sumner, a.k.a. Sting, who paid $65.75 million for a penthouse, and a buyer, believed to be Daniel Och, another hedge fund manager, who acquired a penthouse duplex for $92.7 million, the year’s second-highest sale in the city. (Many of these buyers had entered into sales contracts before the building was completed.)
 
The city’s townhouse market also posted a record. A double-wide house at 14-16 East 67th Street, once home to Bob Guccione, the founder of Penthouse magazine, sold for $77.1 million. The biggest co-op sale was a duplex at 834 Fifth Avenue, where the investment banker John Gutfreund had lived; it sold for $53 million, less than half the initial $120 million asking price.
 
Pamela Leibman, the chief executive of the Corcoran Group, was cautiously optimistic about 2020, although she acknowledged that the upcoming presidential election could temporarily sideline some buyers.
 
“Sellers are finally adjusting prices to the market,” she said, “and buyers are finding good values out there, combined with low interest rates. It’s a no-brainer.”
