We are considering hiring Corcoran to help us sell our house but it seems like all anyone does on here is rag on them. We want to know if there are positive experiences out there? From seller & buyer… Our thinking in considering them is that most people looking for a place visit their site so we would have a lot of exposure (and they seem to get all the nytimes press) AND as far as we can see they actually sell their properties quickly and near asking. I’ve read some negative things – specifically about Jerry Minsky (http://www.brownstoner.com/forum/archives/2007/08/can_anyone_reco_5.php#comments)and it seems that the common perception is that they are the devil and are single handedly raising brownstone costs and Minsky is the ringleader. As a seller we want to get the most $ we can – so I don’t understand why that would be bad? I do get the “they are ruining the borough and pricing out people who have been here forever” argument, but if we are looking to sell quick and get our asking would they (and Minsky specifically) be a bad choice? Thanks.
