More quotes by Barbara Corcoran
Home staging is no longer optional in this real estate market, it is a must!
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
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.
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
You steal the limelight, you steal the market share
Barbara Corcoran
Good salesmanship is nothing more than maximizing the positive and minimizing the negative.
Barbara Corcoran
Empathy for the people you're working with and being aware of their needs...that's the big kahuna in managing people.
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
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 best time to expand is when people are asleep at the wheel.
Barbara Corcoran
In New York City, the meek don't inherit the earth. The big mouth does.
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
You can't study to be an entrepreneur. Sometimes, you just have to jump.
Barbara Corcoran
If you've got the money, you need people to make money with your money. And if you have the talent, you can always merchandise your talent to someone who's got the money and make money. There's two pieces to it: talent and money.
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
People imitate their leader. Lead by example.
Barbara Corcoran
I like to wake up and just feel gratitude. Gratitude for waking up, for my health, for my kids, for my family. A lot of times in the evening, I'll write down what my goals are for the next day When I wake up, I look at that list again. I meditate.
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
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
