While many sellers might balk at the commission (no bargains here, I paid the full 6%!) Jim earned in what appeared to be a very short amount of time, I feel that he was worth every penny.


I do not believe this purchase would have been completed without your attention to detail and determination.

Given the nature of the current real estate market, we were doubly impressed with Jim's calm leadership and confidence. He stayed on top of the details and got involved when necessary and always with the right degree of urgency or tact.

For close to 50 years, Corcoran has been the first name in residential real estate. In New York City, the Hamptons, and South Florida, our agents are the acknowledged experts.

Since 1973, Corcoran agents have been earning―and keeping―our clients' trust with an unwavering commitment to white-glove service, expertise, and integrity. Across our core markets of New York City. the East End of Long Island, and South Florida, we are a growing family of world-class professionals, combining real estate expertise with unrivaled market knowledge and neighborhood fluency.

Staying ahead of the curve matters, and Corcoran supports its agents with the real estate industry’s most experienced and effective marketing and technology teams.

We’re part of the trusted Realogy family of real estate companies, named to the Ethisphere Institute’s annual list of the World’s Most Ethical Companies for eight straight years.

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.

My Name is Barbara

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.

Made in Manhattan

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.

Sale of the Century

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.

New Developments

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.

Home on the Web

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.

Brooklyn Bridged

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.

CEO for a New Century

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.

A Place in the Sun

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.

Hamptons Homecoming

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.

Show Me the Money

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.

Revolutionizing Rentals

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.

Good Day Sunshine

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.

Words to Live By

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.

We Give Together

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.

You Really ‘Like’ Us

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.

Higher Intelligence

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.
