Barbara Corcoran

Barbara will tell you herself: “There is always an upside to staying in the game.”

That’s what she told herself when she started her real estate empire on a measly loan of $1000. Through tough times and economic depression, Barbara held strong and ended up selling her company for $66 million. Today she is one of the most well-known businesswomen in the world and one of the stars of ABC’s Shark Tank. She is also well-known for her keynote and motivational speaking. Barbara Corcoran is available to be booked for corporate and private events. Contact the Mollie Plotkin Group today to inquire about Barbara Corcoran’s fees.

Before becoming the paragon of success she is today, Barbara Corcoran’s credits included straight D’s throughout high school and college and 20 jobs by the time she turned 23. It was not until much later in her life, that Barbara learned her struggles stemmed from undiagnosed dyslexia.

But even before her dyslexia diagnosis, it was her next job that would make her one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the country. She borrowed $1,000 and quit her job as a waitress to start a real estate company in New York City, The Corcoran-Simonè.

The Corcoran Group

Seven years later, Ramon Simonè, Barbara’s boyfriend and cofounder, told her he was leaving her to marry Barbara’s secretary. So Barabara formed her own firm — The Corcoran Group. Today, The Corcoran Group is one of the best-known brands in the brokerage business.

Media

Notably, Barbara gained international recognition for her starring role on ABC’s four-time Emmy Award-winning show Shark Tank. By leveraging her global television platform, Corcoran catapulted her career as a highly sought-after media personality. She is frequently a small business and real estate contributor on every major network. Barbara is also the author of the best-seller Shark Tales: How I Turned $1,000 into a Billion Dollar Business.
