Corcoran’s Pashbys Join BHS

Two of New York City’s mother-daughter broker duos are teaming up.

Corcoran agents Maria and Joanna Pashby left the firm to join with Wendy Sarasohn and Jamie Sarasohn Joseph at Brown Harris Stevens, according to a BHS spokesperson. The brokers made up the Pashby Team, which ranked 98th among RealTrends’ top small teams in New York last year with nearly $64 million in sales.

The pairs will form the Pashby Sarasohn Team — one of BHS’ 44 parent-child groups. The team will be based out of the brokerage’s office at 445 Park Avenue.

The move marks Maria Pashby’s second stint at BHS. The broker, who formerly headed the Pashby Buckworth Team, jumped from Corcoran to BHS in 2014, along with Robby Browne. Browne, Pashby and their sales team returned to Corcoran the following year.

Around the same time, Sarasohn and Joseph also traded Corcoran for Brown Harris Stevens. Before their move in 2014, Sarasohn had been with Pam Liebman’s firm since 1988, when she was named Rookie of the Year.

A spokesperson for Corcoran said the firm wishes the Pashbys success in their new venture.

With Joanna’s help, Maria Pashby has sold 21 apartments at the Beresford — a landmarked co-op on the Upper West Side — including two for over $10 million in the past three months. Maria also sold photographer Annie Leibovitz’s West Village townhouse for $28.5 million in 2014.

Sarasohn and Joseph — who said they often work with multiple generations of the same families — sold a four-bedroom penthouse at 6 West 77th Street to billionaire hedge funder Bill Ackman for $22.5 million in 2018. The duo also recently sold a penthouse at 21 East 91st Street for roughly $10 million.

Sarasohn’s listings include a four-bedroom Park Avenue co-op asking $5.8 million and a 2,200-square-foot condo in Lenox Hill asking $4.3 million, according to Streeteasy.
