The Corcoran Group, New York City’s top residential real estate brokerage firm, recently announced that Ilan Bracha, luxury real estate expert and long considered one of the top brokers in New York City’s luxury market, has joined Corcoran. Announcement of the move was made by Pamela Liebman, Corcoran’s President and CEO.
The Bracha Team includes senior agents Sarah Son, Natalie Baghdadi and Tatyana Salvatore alongside their management team that includes Nicholas Ritacco and Elizabeth Cho. All will be affiliated with Corcoran’s East Side office. Bringing over $100+ million in inventory to Corcoran, Bracha has a breadth of experience and a strong growth attitude about the dynamic New York City market.
With over 20 years of real estate experience, Bracha was the innovative founder of IB Global and the Bracha Group, a data-driven real estate advisory team. Prior to that, he notably co-founded two award-winning Keller Williams franchises and the Manhattan region that grew to be a top firm in the city with 800 agents across both offices.
Bracha has done nearly $10 billion in lifetime sales volume and has a network of discerning clients spread throughout the globe. With strong relationships across the real estate industry, Bracha has previously been recognized by the Wall Street Journal and Real Trends as the #1 broker in New York City and the #2 broker in the United States. Formerly on the Board of Directors for the Real Estate Board of New York, Bracha has also served as an adviser for select proptech startups.
“We are thrilled to welcome Ilan and his team to Corcoran,” said Liebman. “He has an incredible track record across all sides of the business and is a highly respected real estate expert with an innovative approach to this very dynamic market. I am confident that he will take his team to the next level with the resources and power of the Corcoran brand behind them.”
Bracha remarked on his move, “I am proud of the team having already closed $50M+ during the first quarter, all on our own, and I know that our move to Corcoran will take us to the next level. I was in search of a strong community that would allow us to best serve our clients. Corcoran is a perfect fit. I remain tremendously grateful for my time at Elliman and Keller Williams and I am excited to be back to my roots, doing what I do best – matching buyers with sellers. Like my team, Corcoran is synonymous with luxury and we’re betting on the number one brand in New York.”
Israeli-born, Bracha served as a Commander in the Israeli army, and at the age of 21, decided to venture to New York City for a fresh start. Over 20 years later, his team credits his success to an innate entrepreneurial prowess and natural leadership skills. Bracha lives with his wife, an artist and art collector, and their four children between Manhattan’s Upper West Side and the Hamptons.
