A Happy Thanksgiving To All!

If you're traveling today, like the millions around the country, you're sure to hit some form of traffic, whether on the roads, the railways or up in the sky. After this massive storm front passes, almost the entire country, from California to Maine, will have been impacted by this storm to some degree. Despite mother nature's best attempt to derail those traveling this week, Thanksgiving is set to be another fantastic holiday!  Millions around the country will gather with friends and family to show their thanks for the great things we have in life. It's often taken for granted on a daily basis the freedoms and liberties we have. Thanksgiving serves as the perfect time to reflect on caring for one another and to appreciate what we are gifted with. All of us here at Corcoran would like to wish a Happy Thanksgiving and safe travels to all!  P.S. Will the Lions actually win their thanksgiving day game this year? 

Catching Up With Corcoran!

Two Corcoran Property Managers Earn Their CPM Two of Corcoran’s Property Managers have just completed a major step in their Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM) education. Ed Sullivan, manager at Shrewsbury Commons, and Erin O’Connor of Weymouth Commons were each honored with their Certified Property Manager (CPM) designations. Earning a CPM designation requires managers to devote many additional hours to various courses on real estate ethics, resident relations, financial reporting and management planning. We would like to congratulate both Ed and Erin on their hard work and would like to wish them continued success with Corcoran Management Company! 28 th Annual Caritas Communities Dinner This past Wednesday, a number of Corcoran’s employees  attended the 28 th annual benefit dinner for Caritas Communities, a non-profit dedicated to providing housing for the working poor.

Giving Thanks on Veteran's Day!

Today is a day to pay our respects and show appreciation for the military servicemen and women who have proudly served this country and sacrificed to help preserve our freedoms. Roughly 1.1 million American citizens are enlisted in the US Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force or Coast Guard. Of those 1.1 million, many have fought overseas in battle. The brave souls who are willing to leave behind their friends, family and home lives and head overseas with their military brothers and sisters make the ultimate sacrifice for their country. Veteran’s Day is a special day in which we honor our brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, sons, and daughters who have fought for our country. If you know someone who served in battle, give them thanks and let them know that they are true definition of “heroes”. We send our thanks to all veterans and active duty military personal. Thank you for your commitment and sacrifice for this country!
