Veteran broker jumps to Corcoran, leaving Douglas Elliman behind in a trail of sponsor projects
Longtime Elliman agent Kathy Murray brings over $1 billion in sales to Corcoran in shocking move.
After more than 20 years at Douglas Elliman, veteran broker Kathy Murray has made a surprising move to Corcoran, taking a massive portfolio of sponsor projects with her.
Murray, who had been with Elliman for over 20 years and achieved over $1 billion in lifetime sales volume, announced her departure on Tuesday. This move has sent shockwaves through the industry, as Murray was previously named a top 50 broker by The Real Deal.
In a statement, Murray said, "I am excited to start this new chapter at Corcoran and continue to provide exceptional service to my clients. I am grateful for my time at Elliman, but I am ready for a new challenge."
This unexpected move has sparked speculation about the reasons behind Murray's departure. Some industry insiders are questioning if there were behind-the-scenes negotiations that led to her leaving Elliman. Others are speculating that Murray's departure could be a result of internal issues at the firm.
Whatever the reasons may be, one thing is certain - Murray's move to Corcoran will have a major impact on the real estate landscape. With her impressive sales record and extensive portfolio of sponsor projects, Murray's presence at Corcoran will surely shake up the competition.
Only time will tell how this move will play out, but one thing is for sure - the real estate world will be watching.
