NYACK—Corcoran Group, LLC announced on March 23 the launch of its newest affiliate, Corcoran Baer & McIntosh, based in Nyack.
The announcement was made via virtual appearance by Pamela Liebman, president and CEO of The Corcoran Group. This is the second Corcoran affiliate to launch since the start of the year—just weeks after the one-year anniversary of the successful launch of Corcoran’s affiliate program.
Corcoran Baer & McIntosh specializes in locations across New York (Rockland and Orange counties) and northern New Jersey. With more than 50 agents across four offices, Corcoran Baer & McIntosh is led by Debbie Blankfort, with support from Adam Blankfort, the firm’s technology specialist and leader of the “Ask Adam” team.
The firm was formerly affiliated with William Raveis Real Estate. According to its website Corcoran Baer & McIntosh has New York offices in Nyack, Piermont and in Warwick and in Northvale and Red Bank in New Jersey.
“Launching Corcoran Baer & McIntosh is a perfect opportunity to expand our Northeast operations,” said Corcoran’s Liebman. “I respect the dedication that Debbie and Adam have for our industry and am confident they will use that enthusiasm to continue to foster the best possible growth environment for all of their agents. I couldn’t be happier to welcome them to the Corcoran family.”
“Joining Corcoran was a no-brainer for us, because we always knew that we wanted to grow our business with truly exceptional people who possess integrity, intelligence, and a strong work ethic,” said Debbie Blankfort, broker-owner of Corcoran Baer & McIntosh. “Over the years, we’ve discussed how much we admired Corcoran and how we felt that our cultures were tightly aligned, so to be here today is a thrilling, full-circle moment. I have no doubt that our wonderful people, who are now part of the wider Corcoran community, will maintain this outlook as we continue to grow.”
In September 2020, Legends Realty, after nearly 10 years as an affiliate of William Raveis Real Estate, joined The Corcoran Group, LLC. The brokerage firm, which has locations in Tarrytown, Briarcliff Manor and Irvington, now operates as Corcoran Legends Realty.
The Corcoran Group has been a leading residential real estate brand for nearly 50 years. Through its New York City, Hamptons, and South Florida brokerages, along with its rapidly growing affiliate network, the firm is home to more than 100 offices and 4,200 independent salespersons in key urban, suburban, and resort markets nationwide. The Corcoran brand comprises both offices owned by a subsidiary of Realogy Brokerage Group LLC and franchised offices, which are independently owned and operated.
