A warm welcome to Barbara Corcoran!

Barbara CorcoranQuietly today, without much fanfare, a new and venerable member snuck into our ranks. Unknown to some, but much respected among many, Barbara Corcoran is a fascinating individual who has proved herself as a force to be reckoned with. From starting her own real estate company at the age of 23 and nurturing it into the largest real estate company in New York, to authoring a bestselling book, her wit and acumen are uncompromising and I look forward to soaking up all the wisdom I can get with a keen eye on her blogs. Her first blog is terrific and I hope it's a preview of many more to come!

I am very excited to read Barbara's blog posts omg she is my hero! There have been numerous times when I wanted to strike out with an idea on my own and thought of her and said ok, I'm going for it! Welcome to the Rain, Barbara!

I always enjoy seeing Barbara on the various television programs.  She is one classy lady.

Barbara's post was a breath of fresh air.  It is great to hear some new ideas.  I look forward to future posts.  I think we tend to get stuck in our own box -- it is good to look outside the box -- especially as our industry is changing -

Thanks for pointing this out.  Her's is one of the only real estate books I read over and over again.

Sara, thanks for the post.  When I saw Barbara's first post yesterday I did a doubletake, rubbed my eyes in disbelief and saw that it really was her.  Wow.

It's really great to see more and more good stuff on ActiveRain.

I didn't even recognize her!  I HAVE HER BOOK!  And I LOVE her profile picture.  Thanks for the heads up, it would have taken me a while to figure it out on my own.

Sara,

Great of you to make the introduction of Barbara. I don't know that I've seen one before but I think it would be a great habit for Rainers to get into.
