Eileen LaMorte

For decades, husband and wife team, Eileen LaMorte and Daniel Douglas of the Corcoran Group, have represented clients running the gamut of New York society. These include, to name a few, editors of the country’s three leading newspapers, owners of Wall Street’s preeminent hedge funds, the US ambassador to a major European country as well as the most celebrated fashion designer on Madison Avenue and in Milano. Eileen LaMorte prefers to find someone a home rather than "sell" real estate. A graduate of Suny-Purchase College in English Literature and a post-graduate, pre-medical student at Columbia University, she brings a pragmatic, level-headed sensibility to the sales process. Having acquired and marketed her own properties, Eileen is familiar with the stress involved in buying, selling and moving, thereby helping to make the event run smoother. Having evolved her personal esthetics from extensive travels and years involved in the fashion and arts-related industries, she surveys a living space and sees not just what is there, but easily imagines and conveys how it can be adapted to her clients' needs. She earns many referrals by maintaining a sanguine perspective, understanding and respecting the requirements of the buyer and seller and keeping up-to-the-minute on all available properties in order to make the right match. Eileen's achievements are a direct result of her ease and delight in communicating with her clients. For this reason, she also enjoys productive relationships with other brokers and colleagues. One satisfied seller who also found a new home through Eileen explains her success as deriving from "an especially well-tuned ability to listen, to process and then to know when to go the extra mile to make a deal happen." In addition to her real estate activity, she is an accomplished athlete (star sprinter, basketball forward and avid cyclist) and a talented cartoonist. Eileen cares deeply about her clients and customers, which is why she has become friends with many of them after the closing was over.
