More quotes by Barbara Corcoran
I had probably seven agents by the time I became a legitimate real estate broker.
Barbara Corcoran
The most influential factor in selling a home is always price. Don't build 'wiggle room' into the asking price. There's a price war out there and you have to win it from the get-go.
Barbara Corcoran
Home staging is no longer optional in this real estate market, it is a must!
Barbara Corcoran
If you want to have a creative culture, you can't get it by reading books. You get it by example.
Barbara Corcoran
The difference between the real winners is how long they take to feel sorry for themselves. My winners feel it... but they come back up and say 'hit me again.'
Barbara Corcoran
I have found, whether you have a tiny business or a big business, if you don't jump on something right away, it's like a bird flying by-it flies off.
Barbara Corcoran
It's rumored that doing well in real estate is to be able to close a deal. I did not find that to be the case for myself, I was probably the worst closer out there and I didn't find that was true of my top super stars either.

People imitate their leader. Lead by example.
Barbara Corcoran
If someone doesn't fit in your company, you have an obligation to get rid of them, because you're holding them back from excelling elsewhere.

Barbara Corcoran
Don't be afraid to go for positions, jobs or take on clients just outside of your knowledge base. It's when you're uncomfortable that you learn and grow the most.
Barbara Corcoran
In New York City, the meek don't inherit the earth. The big mouth does.
Barbara Corcoran
I was well motivated. What I wanted to do was work for myself. I had twenty two jobs before I started my business at the age of twenty three and I didn't want one more boss telling me what to do. So I was motivated simply because I didn't want a boss.
Barbara Corcoran
Confidence is overrated. It's when we're uncomfortable and looking for answers that we learn and grow the most.
Barbara Corcoran
I was a hot-dog stand lady, I was an orphan housemother, I was a waitress 3 or 4 times. All of those jobs did not have good bosses. They basically told you what to do, when to do and when to hop. And I just didn't like that very much.
Barbara Corcoran
The story of my billion-dollar business starts like this. I borrowed $1,000 from a friend.
Barbara Corcoran
If you stand back and analyze the best way to do something, you'll be standing there forever. Follow your gut and jump right in!
Barbara Corcoran
I've never had a really creative idea sitting at my desk. All the big ideas that made a difference happened when I was playing outside.
Barbara Corcoran
Stop putting it off! Procrastination breeds guilt, guilt breeds depression, and depression breeds failure.
Barbara Corcoran
Good salesmanship is nothing more than maximizing the positive and minimizing the negative.
