REVIEWS
USA Today
"Corcoran is a lightning bolt of energy caught in a 5-foot-6 frame."

The Wall Street Journal
"Ms. Corcoran, a 51-year-old former receptionist who started her current real estate firm with just seven agents in 1978, now commands the kind of market power that makes her smaller competitors tremble with envy."

New York Magazine
"Barbara Corcoran is the most quoted, most visible Manhattan real estate agent on the scene today."

Working Mother
"Part memoir, part rough guide to business and 100 percent in-your-face glee."
