Peter brings to bear the incredible resources of The Corcoran Group to his client's business. For over thirty years Corcoran has exemplified a steadfast commitment to service, creativity and hard work.

Corcoran grasped the implications of this change by concentrating on higher-end properties. We quickly rose to prominence and thanks also to the acquisition of major real estate companies in Manhattan and Brooklyn, today Corcoran is the largest residential real estate firm in New York City. Beginning in 2003 the reach beagan extending into other key luxury markets, acquiring leading firms in both the Hamptons and the Palm Beaches. Today we boast a total of 50 offices and almost 2,000 agents. In 2007, Corcoran agents generated $18 billion in total sales.
Always striving for innovation, in 1995 The Corcoran Group launched one of the first real estate websites, corcoran.com. Today, it is an award-winning industry resource, attracting 4 million visitors per month and producing more sales than any other website in residential real estate.
