More quotes by Barbara Corcoran
I had probably seven agents by the time I became a legitimate real estate broker.
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
Especially if you're over 40, shortening the term of your loan to pay it off sooner could make you mortgage-free in retirement.
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
When you have chemistry with a potential hire, they will most likely become a great employee.
Barbara Corcoran
Home staging is no longer optional in this real estate market, it is a must!
Barbara Corcoran
People imitate their leader. Lead by example.
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
Taking chances almost always makes for happy endings.
Barbara Corcoran
I gave up years ago on the concept that you could actually have balance in your life, I think it's a phantom chase.
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
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
My best successes came on the heels of failures.
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.
Barbara Corcoran
Your business is a part of yourself. Should it be? Who knows, but it sure feels that way. You can never really leave it.
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
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
A good organization is like a box of crayons. You need different colors of the spectrum, but all the crayons should fit in the box.
Barbara Corcoran
People want to do business with someone they like. If people like you, they're going to want to do business with you. And if they don't you're going to have an almost insurmountable obstacle to overcome.
