Pamela Liebman

President, The Corcoran Group

Since 2000, Corcoran CEO Pamela Liebman has provided strategic direction, overseen Corcoran’s forty managers and 2,500 employees, and has focused the projects of a corporation with sales of more than $16 billion annually.

Under her leadership the company has grown dramatically. In 2001, Pamela spearheaded the negotiations that resulted in the successful acquisition of The Corcoran Group by NRT, the nation’s largest real estate brokerage and a subsidiary of Realogy Corporation. Corcoran expanded its presence into key East Coast markets with the acquisitions of East Hampton, NY-based Cook Pony Farm and Paulette Koch Real Estate of Palm Beach in 2003. Further acquisitions – of McCann Coyner Clarke in Palm Beach, of Allmon Tiernan & Ely in Delray Beach, FL, of Dayton-Halstead and Allan Schneider Associates in the Hamptons, and of Citi-Habitats in New York City – transformed the company into one of the nation’s premier real estate firms. In addition, The Sunshine Group, the nation’s most important marketing agency for new luxury condominium projects, was folded in to Corcoran in 2005 and cemented Corcoran’s position as New York City’s largest and most significant residential real estate entity.

She has lectured at New York University, the 92nd Street Y, and the Real Estate Board of New York (REBNY) and serves on numerous panels and committees, including REBNY’s Executive Committee and its Board of Governors. A nationally recognized market expert, she is frequently quoted as a real estate specialist by such leading news organizations as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, CNN, National Public Radio, and Bloomberg. In 2009, Crain’s named Pamela one of the 50 Most Powerful Women in New York.
