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.
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
The story of my billion-dollar business starts like this. I borrowed $1,000 from a friend.
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.

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
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
