The Corcoran Group, New York City’s leading residential real estate brokerage firm, recently announced that Brooklyn’s leading sales team of James Cornell and Leslie Marshall have promoted agent Nick Hovsepian to partner to form New York’s newest powerhouse in sales, The Cornell Marshall Hovsepian Team. This dynamic collaboration brings together six decades of New York real estate expertise. Cornell, Marshall, and Hovsepian’s individual successes and commitment to personalized service guarantees consistent results for every client, including buyers, sellers, and developers.
Since his real estate career began with Corcoran in 2012, Hovsepian has over 400 closed transactions, including 24 new developments throughout New York City, in addition to high-end condominiums, townhouses, and co-ops. Hovsepian was instrumental in the $15 million record-breaking sale of DUMBO’s famed Clock Tower Penthouse, and in 2023, he boasted an individual sales volume of over $64 million. As part of the Cornell Marshall team for the past five years, he has proved to be a trustworthy and knowledgeable colleague who always leads with kindness and empathy to great success.
“Jim and I are so excited to expand our partnership with Nick – he’s been the perfect complement to our 20+ year partnership, and I’m thrilled for this new chapter,” said Marshall. Cornell remarked, “Nick has been a vital and productive member of our team, and welcoming him as a partner is a recognition of his contributions and abilities. He’s also a heck of a nice guy. His partnership isn’t a change in dynamic but rather a recognition of what Nick has and will accomplish with cus going forward. We’re thrilled!”
Of the new team, Hovsepian stated, “Working alongside Jim and Leslie has been an incredible opportunity. With them, I have grown my new development and resale businesses, and our new partnership will only continue to allow us to bring our high level of service, experience, and dedication to our clients throughout Brooklyn and Manhattan.”
Regarded as Brooklyn’s most accomplished sales team, Cornell and Marshall are members of Corcoran’s President’s Council and were the firm’s #1 Team in New York City in 2021 and the #1 Team in Brooklyn for the last two years. They are also frequently included in The Wall Street Journal’s and RealTrends Real Estate Top 150. Currently, The Cornell
Marshall Team is the exclusive sales team at 9 Chapel in Downtown Brooklyn and One Clinton in Brooklyn Heights. Along with Cornell, Marshall, and Hovsepian, the team includes notable agent Ashley Banker, a fourteen-year veteran of The Corcoran Group, and newer Corcoran agent Stephanie Wilberding.
