About Corcoran Group

Known For

• Founded by Barbara Corcoran in 1973 and among the largest residential brokerages in New York City by sales volume
• Strong position in Manhattan co-ops and condominiums, Brooklyn brownstones and Hamptons estate properties
• Owned by Anywhere Real Estate since 2001, with affiliate offices in Florida and other second-home markets
• Agents regularly represent trophy listings above USD 20 million on the Upper East Side, Tribeca and the East End

Typical Mandate

Corcoran is engaged by buyers and sellers of prime residential property in New York City and the Hamptons: townhouses, co-op apartments on Fifth and Park Avenues, new-development condominiums downtown, and oceanfront estates in Southampton and East Hampton. Typical trophy mandates run from USD 10 million to well above USD 50 million. Sellers use Corcoran for quiet marketing of properties they prefer not to list publicly; buyers engage individual agents or teams with a track record in a specific building or hamlet.

How to Engage

Buyers generally approach a named agent or team rather than the firm at large; the website lists agents by neighbourhood and specialisation. Co-op purchases in Manhattan require a board package with full financial disclosure, so buyers should have liquidity statements ready before making an offer. Sellers sign an exclusive listing agreement with a specified marketing plan, including whether the property is exposed publicly or shown privately.
