Barbara Corcoran: Love Her or Hate Her?

I love her!!! For those of you who don't get your morning fix of Matt Lauer while you have your coffee, you might not know who Barbara Corcoran is – this is a shame!  In the famous words of Michael K from Dlisted (the best real estate source out there!  HA), she is a  "Real estate mogul, author, inspirational speaker, mega bitch and reality show judge." 

I like Barbara – she and I have much in common, we were both D average students, mega bitches,  and are into real estate!  WOO HOO  According to her website: Barbara Corcoran’s credentials include straight D’s in high school and college and twenty jobs by the time she turned twenty-three.  It was her next job, however, that would make her one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the country, when she borrowed $1,000 from her boyfriend and quit her job as a waitress to start a tiny real estate company in New York City.  Over the next twenty-five years, she’d parlay that $1,000 loan into a five-billion-dollar real estate business named The Corcoran Group. She sold the business in 2001 for seventy million dollars.
