Corcoran Group is expanding to Massachusetts, opening its first franchise in the Boston area.
Corcoran Property Advisors, led by Brian Dougherty and Nick Robert, has opened its flagship office on Newbury Street and a second location in Cohasset.
Pamela Liebman, Corcoran Group president and CEO, said there’s always been a “strong Northeast synergy” between Corcoran’s first market in New York and the Greater Boston area.
“Therefore, I couldn’t be happier to solidify that union with the launch of Corcoran Property Advisors. The team’s strong business acumen, paired with Corcoran’s tools, support and world-class brand, is sure to spur exciting growth across Boston and its luxury coastal communities,” she said.
Doherty and Robert bring extensive experience in high-end real estate, interior design, luxury retail, boutique hospitality and new development industries, according to a company announcement.
Dougherty’s roles have included working as a luxury property consultant for high-net-worth families, portfolio growth director for a major hospitality company, national sales director for a subsidiary of a multi-strategy hedge fund and partner at a luxury Boston-area brokerage. He’s also been involved in some of Massachusetts’ most expensive residential transactions. Dougherty founded and led the Private Brokerage agent team at Compass in 2019.
“Boston is a world-class city, not only with some of the most historic educational and cultural institutions in the world, but also some of the most exciting companies in the burgeoning technology and medical industries,” said Dougherty. “These factors, paired with one of the world’s most spectacular real estate markets, is perfectly poised for us to launch and grow Corcoran Property Advisors, especially when supported by Corcoran’s talented team, proven senior leadership, best-in-class agent resources and sophisticated yet fresh marketing.”
Robert and Doughtery partnered in 2019 when Robert joined the Private Brokerage agent team at Compass as executive director. Before that, he was part of the leadership team for Restoration Hardware and helped launch retail spaces across the country. He was also an active agent with a local high-end brokerage.
The Corcoran Property Advisors team of agents will operate out of the Boston office located at 14 Newbury St. and in Cohasset at 17 South Main St.
