The Corcoran Group, New York City’s top residential real estate brokerage, recently announced that Michael Hania, David Mayer, and Raphael Sitruk are joining the firm and joining forces as The MSH Team. The trio will operate out of Corcoran’s Soho office, led by Senior Managing Directors Paula Manikowski and Brennan Zahler. Sitruk will also be associated with Corcoran’s Bal Harbour office in Florida.
Sitruk comes to Corcoran as Keller Williams’ #2 individual producer for 2021 across all of New York City. Hania and Mayer join as top producing agents from The Charlie Attias team at Compass, recently ranked by RealTrends as a top team in New York City. Combined, the three have amassed over $250 million in lifetime sales and bring over $50 million in listing inventory to Corcoran, including the unique 431 Broome Street building, asking $16.9 million. The baroque brick façade on the corner of Broome and Crosby dates back to the early 19th century and is currently operating as a four-star 14-room hotel.
As Hania and Sitruk hail from France, and Mayer from Canada, the French-speaking team uses its global reach and industry expertise to grow and transition from major players to a major team in the industry. “With our combined expertise, dedication, and expanded network now covering New York City and Florida, I am very excited about what is in store for us in the coming months and years,” says Hania.
Sitruk remarked, “Joining Corcoran was a natural decision as they are the number one brokerage and highly valued in both markets we serve. Being part of Corcoran gives us access to more inventory, new developments, and better tools to serve our clients.”
Mayer, who rejoins Corcoran after his 2019 departure, added, “This feels like a homecoming and was such a joyous occasion that brought back a lot of great memories. I am excited to cofound this team with Michael and Raphael and look forward to working alongside such accomplished and talented partners.”
“Having Michael, David, and Raphael join Corcoran’s Soho office is a huge boon for us,” said Manikowski and Zahler. “Their dedication to their clients, their vast knowledge of numerous markets and industries alongside Corcoran’s unmatched support will allow them to surge past their business goals.”
