I became a larger than life figure for one reason only. When you're quoted in the 'Wall Street Journal', the 'New York Times', constantly as the expert in the business people assume you're a lot bigger than you are. And then I had to run like hell to catch up with my own image.

A complainer is like a Death Eater because there's a suction of negative energy. You can catch a great attitude from great people.

From 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.

From Barbara Corcoran

The most expensive hobby a rich man could have is a boat, and the second most expensive hobby he could have is a very old house.

From Barbara Corcoran

What people ask for has nothing to do with the value of a property. You might see a listing for $300,000 and think you should make a $250,000 bid. But hyper-focus on what the house is worth. You should know what the house is worth by looking at comparable properties. Base your bid on that.

From Barbara Corcoran

Don't you dare underestimate the power of your own instinct.

From Barbara Corcoran

I built the business exactly the way my mother built and ran her family. I wanted a replication of the big, happy family I grew up in. I wanted happy people having fun.
