They should've had The Real Deal do a video of it.

Looks like it was an award for the UES brokers and not necessarily the Corcoran brokers. I work at Corcoran and just found out about this. It's like being a coach of a sports team and finding out you got fired in the papers.

If you worked for Corcoran and you weren't there, check your desk, because clearly you don't work for Corcoran.

Tresa Hall is very well alive and still at Corcoran. Who do you think runs the show there?

Isn't Tresa the one who stole a client list, and was involved in attempting to have an agent lie about a corcoran lawsuit? Why does Pam still have her employed there? Who keeps a liar and a thief at a real estate company?

Whoa, buzz kill #17, be a good POTATOE and go back to your so called 'blog' elsewhere on the site. You're really not welcome here Sa-weetie so try and muster just a little respect, although we already know that would be quite a challenge in your case. Thanks.

Yep, Robbie rides his bike every where. He's an inspiration to us on so many levels. By the way #2, I'm a West Side Broker at Corcoran but in the east Side office because that's where all the "action" is. Very inspiring. You must be one of these people who is never in the office and can't understand why you can't make a living or have any contacts.

I'm a Corcoran fan, why do you ask Ms. POTATOE head? What is your strange appeal all about anyway? Party on Pam!

Awesome having Danny Meyer, Mary Ann Tighe, Pam, and Tresa. Thanks for keeping Corcoran on the top! I had a great time and am proud to work for such a great company. I'm a busy broker too so back off Tresa ok? I read your comments on here you little monster. Cut it out because we know who you are. We all do.

What is with the POTATOE stuff? Is this high school? Very cool that the guy that won an award rides a bike to get it- there are some amazing brokers (I'm sure) at Corcoran- they are not on this thread. If links at the top bring readers to stories, be prepared to respond accordingly, or don't respond at all. Toyota is doing well with an apology- might be a good way to counter bad outcomes. In the meantime, good for all of the winners mentioned- they're certainly models of success in real estate.

What hypocrasy: The March 17th 1997 issue of New York Magazine quoted Robby Brown referring to his client Arnold Scaasi as "a garmento, a jew, and gay". Robby was was an Elliman broker at the time, so Corcoran chased after Robby and HIRED him! (Twice, actually - he quit once...). BUT, a Corcoran broker, Sarit Shmueli, said "bull s..t." in the office, so Corcoran fired her for that.

#32, really? Ok- I take back good for the winners until I see the link- but Carrie really seems to be an amazing agent. Not sure about why Sarit was let go- thought it was because of a refusal to lie in court. Either way, she's a hero on a MAJOR scale for all NY real estate agents.

What a bummer, SARIT - the thing that WON"T go away. What good is a SPAM filter? What we REALLY need a SARIT filter, for real. Party killer...

Barbara should get an award for selling the company just to get away from Sarit. THAT was smart. Party on Babs!

What a terrific recognition for the very most talented.... it has been a very challenging market and year and anyone on this list deserves credit. I am a big fan of Fabienne LECOLE. She found me my house and has helped friends with their real estate needs: what a terrific, enthusiastic and knowledgeable broker... could not recommend a more dedicated and hard working professional. Go Fabienne Go!!
