The Corcoran Group, Manhattan’s #1 residential real estate brokerage firm, recently announced that Marie Espinal and Jeff Adler of The ESPINAL ADLER Team will join the company. Announcement of the move was made by Pamela Liebman, Corcoran’s President and CEO.
With a lifetime sales volume of almost $3 billion, The ESPINAL ADLER Team will be affiliated with Corcoran’s Park Avenue South office, led by Senior Managing Directors Alex Cho and Brian Ullman. For the past 15 years, this dynamic, top- producing team has been at Douglas Elliman, where they were consistently ranked in the company’s top ten, including #5 in New York and #8 nationwide. Additionally, in 2023, RealTrends ranked them as the #6 Large Team in New York, NY, by transaction sides and the #16 Large Team in New York by volume. In addition to being renowned in the New York City market, The ESPINAL ADLER Team has done significant business in Westchester County and Miami, with an eleven-person team currently spread across the three markets above, who have also joined Corcoran.
“I’m very excited to have Marie, Jeff, and their team join Corcoran,” said Liebman. “Their reputation as real estate experts and their dedication to clients truly sets them apart. With Corcoran’s support, I’m certain they’ll take their business to new heights.”
The clients of The ESPINAL ADLER Team often resonate with the team’s motto, “Do the right thing,” embodying the duo’s commitment to providing invaluable guidance and fostering trust. This dedication has cultivated a steadfast client base, facilitating consistent year-over-year growth and establishing remarkable stability in the ever-changing real estate industry. As their clients acquire multiple primary homes and continue diversifying their property assets, Marie and Jeff have seamlessly grown their business into two New York City-adjacent markets, Westchester and Miami.
Much of the success of the Espinal Adler partnership derives from combining strengths drawn from their previous work lives. With nine years of experience in the financial sector and a wealth of knowledge in the commercial industry, Espinal adeptly guides clients through the intricate processes of home buying. As an industry insider, her perspective is invaluable. At the same time, Adler, having worked in media sales, uses his data analysis prowess to develop sharp buying and selling strategies. A self-described news enthusiast, Adler equips his clients with up-to-date information and tools essential for navigating real estate markets. Espinal and Adler’s skills, which amalgamate the best of their corporate backgrounds, have led to their impeccable reputations.
“I have spent my entire real estate career thus far at Douglas Elliman, but our move to Corcoran is a strategic decision that allows Marie and I to focus on our long-term goals and branding. This move is opportune for our team considering the tectonic shifts in the industry and the strategy that Corcoran has helped us envision. With Corcoran’s new technology and incredible agent support, there was no way we could pass up this opportunity,” said Adler.
Espinal remarked, “In the last three years in real estate, we’ve seen more change than we’ve experienced in the previous ten, which signaled to the team that we needed to pivot. It is bittersweet leaving Elliman after 15 years; however, I am extremely excited for the future of my partnership with Jeff and continuing to be a catalyst for change in the industry, with the innovative team at Corcoran propelling us forward.”
