The History of The Corcoran Group


For 37 years, The Corcoran Group has exemplified a steadfast commitment to service, creativity and hard work. The company was founded in 1973 as New York City began a historic transition from being a market predominately composed of rentals to one of individual ownership. Corcoran grasped the implications of this change by targeting specific neighborhoods and concentrating on higher-end properties. With that strategy we quickly rose to prominence, and, thanks also to the acquisition of major real estate companies in Manhattan and Brooklyn, today we are the largest residential real estate firm in New York City.

Beginning in 2003 we started expanding our reach into other key luxury markets, acquiring leading firms in both the East End and South Florida. Today we boast a total of more than 25 offices and almost 1,800 agents. Corcoran sales have reached as much as $18 billion in a single calendar year.

Always striving for innovation, in 1995 The Corcoran Group launched one of the first real estate Web Sites: corcoran.com. Today, it is an award-winning industry resource, attracting more than 4 million unique visitors and generating 16 million page views per month. In 2009, we became the first residential brokerage to launch an iPhone application, making finding a home in our markets easier and more immediate than ever before.

Tracking sales for more than 35 years has also provided us with an unparalleled database. In 1981 we released The Corcoran Report, the first survey of residential real estate market statistics ever produced for the consumer. It provides a thorough analysis of market trends by size and types of housing and neighborhoods. The Corcoran Report's sales statistics and timely market data have long been recognized as the most accurate and reliable in the industry.

The reach of the Corcoran organization stretches beyond our own markets thanks to the Cartus Mobility Network, the nation's largest real estate referral organization comprised of more than a third of the top 500 brokerages in the United States as well as six global service centers on four continents. In addition to this powerful resource, we have our own outstanding Relocation and Corporate Services Division dedicated to helping individuals, families and relocating executives move in or out of all of our key markets.

While the real estate market has grown enormously in value and complexity over the last three decades, one thing remains the same: our commitment to understanding your individual needs and providing exceptional real estate experiences. Our greatest reward is to help you realize your dream for living.

 

Live who you are.
