Turns out that the Red Hook house that Barbara Corcoran made famous was owned by another master of self promotion, Alan Corey (along with partner Carver Farrell). Corey, as you may remember, is the part-time actor part-time real estate impressario who was written up last December in The Post for having made the Doctor Evil-like sum of $1 million investing in real estate; for fifteen minutes he was also Curbed‘s “Favorite NYC Real Estate Personality.” We’d guess he added a bit to his war chest with this sale to Babs: The building had been on the market for $1.1 million since the beginning of the year before Corcoran locked it in recently for $1,070,000. What’s next for Corey? According to his website, another development project.
