The Corcoran Group recently announced that top broker and Brooklyn market expert, Jessica White, has returned to Corcoran. Announcement of the move was made by Pamela Liebman, Corcoran’s President and CEO.
White, who has career sales volume of over $100M, will now be affiliated with Corcoran’s Williamsburg office. Most recently, she was a top agent at Compass, but White’s successful real estate career began in 2014 when she closed $40M in her first 18 months in the business. Over the seven years that have followed as an agent, including her time at Corcoran, White has honed her experience working with buyers and sellers across a broad range of properties, from multifamily listings to new development properties.
Adept at all sides of the business, she confidently undertook her first development project four years ago, helping a developer acquire land in Brooklyn for $760K. The developer built eight condo units and achieved a $4.5M sell-out. White exceeded all expectations on the project, securing more than $1K per square foot, effectively shattering the ceiling for Bushwick pricing. Fast forward to 2020, she acquired another project with the same developer, this time on a much larger scale with more than double the number of units. Once again, White showed her resilience and strategic mindset, selling all 18 units amidst a global pandemic in just eight short months, once again raising the price per square foot in Bushwick, achieving $1,100 per square foot on a two-bedroom listing in the building.
White’s understanding of the market and bespoke attention to personal service is why her referral network is
unparalleled. Highly analytical with a keen eye for design, she has built a career working with some of the best developers in Brooklyn who are known for delivering top quality product. White is a valuable asset and is often sought out to collaborate with developers she’s working with; either to review plans, finalize pricing strategies or to help identify the best finishes.
“We are thrilled to welcome Jessica back to Corcoran,” said Liebman. “She is a hardworking, enthusiastic agent and a respected real estate leader. Her track record speaks for itself and I am confident that she will be unstoppable with the strength of the Corcoran brand behind her.”
White remarked on her move, “I am thrilled to return to Corcoran – it’s a brand synonymous with success and I look forward to taking my career to the new heights. Corcoran is the leader in the new development space, and that’s an aspect of my business that I’m eager to grow. I remain tremendously grateful for my time at Compass, as they helped evolve my career into what it is today and I wish the entire team nothing but continued success.”
A lifelong New Yorker who grew up among Cobble Hill’s timeless brownstones, she spent years living in Brooklyn before moving to Long Island with her husband and two young children. Her background in finance with JPMorgan Chase kick-started her understanding of mortgages and opened doors for her extensive network. White speaks Spanish fluently, and when she is not working, she can be found on nature walks with her family, or spinning.
