Everybody thinks that they're going to time the market, they're going to sharpshoot the market, and buy right at the bottom. The truth of the matter is that nobody is good at it.

More quotes by Barbara Corcoran
Home staging used to be optional. Today, it's a necessity in selling a house.
Barbara Corcoran
If you have an idea, immediately move on it. To start that fire and get it burning immediately...it's everything.
Barbara Corcoran
So many people are good at starts and not so good at finishing.
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
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.

You may not like the idea of putting money into a home when you're moving out. But it's demanded by the market. You need to show it off. You don't have to rip out the kitchen and bathroom. But maybe replace the tiles or the countertops. Get professional advice.

When you feel stuck and can't seem to move ahead, always remember that you don't have to get it right, you just have to get it going!
Barbara Corcoran
The joy is in the getting there. The beginning years of starting your business, the camaraderie when you're in the pit together, are the best years of your life. So rather than being so focused on when you get big and powerful, if you can just get the juice out of that... don't miss it.
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
The worst that could happen is I lose my company and go back to being a waitress. I don't think money's a great aspiration for a lot of people that succeed. They they have other motivations that turn them on. And money was not one of mine.
Barbara Corcoran
Buyers decide in the first eight seconds of seeing a home if they're interested in buying it. Get out of your car, walk in their shoes and see what they see within the first eight seconds.
Barbara Corcoran
The best time to expand is when people are asleep at the wheel.
Barbara Corcoran
Don't teach talent that isn't there.
Barbara Corcoran
Don't get cocky just because you've had a good run. You can lose your business as fast as you've earned it.
Barbara Corcoran
A complainer is like a Death Eater because there's a suction of negative energy. You can catch a great attitude from great people.
Barbara Corcoran
I had probably seven agents by the time I became a legitimate real estate broker.
Barbara Corcoran
I've seen innovation come from something as simple as a resourceful multibillionaire who wanted to make even more money.
Barbara Corcoran
Stop putting it off! Procrastination breeds guilt, guilt breeds depression, and depression breeds failure.
