More quotes by 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
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
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.

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.

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
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
People imitate their leader. Lead by example.
Barbara Corcoran
Don't you dare underestimate the power of your own instinct.
Barbara Corcoran
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.
Barbara Corcoran
If your house has been on the market for more than four months, take it off the market and re-list it in two months as 'new.'
Barbara Corcoran
Refinancing doesn't reduce your debt, it just restructures it, so be clear about what you want to achieve with a refi.
Barbara Corcoran
In New York City, the meek don't inherit the earth. The big mouth does.
Barbara Corcoran
My husband had a very strong identity and was successful in his life. Thank God for that. There's no way I can control him. I wouldn't stay married to him if I felt I could. I can readily take my business personality into the home. But he forces me to be a partner rather than the boss.
Barbara Corcoran
The story of my billion-dollar business starts like this. I borrowed $1,000 from a friend.
Barbara Corcoran
My mother's genius was to put her finger on the gifts she saw in each of us, and make every one of us believe that that gift was uniquely ours.
