Carrie Chiang:
Who
Chiang, whose corporate bio refers to her as "Manhattan's preeminent number one real estate broker," is one of the top-producing brokers at Corcoran.
Backstory
For much of her early life, Shanghai-born Chiang lived as a housewife in Brazil, looking after her banker husband and their two children. Following her husband's untimely death, she relocated to New York and in 1988 signed up for an intro to real estate class at NYU taught by Barbara Corcoran. Chiang didn't impress Corcoran at first (she rarely spoke up class). But after a few sessions, the brokerage queen sensed Chiang had potential and by the end of the semester, Corcoran had offered her a job.
Chiang rose rapidly within the company. In 1993 she made industry headlines when she sold 152 units at Donald Trump's Trump Palace on East 69th Street. The next year she scored another mega-deal on behalf of Trump when she helped persuade a consortium of Hong Kong investors to invest $100 million in his 77-acre Riverside South development on the Upper West Side. In 1997 she added another big deal to her resume when she teamed up with Corcoran's Sharon Baum to sell the townhouses that comprised the Lycée Francais on East 95th Street for $57 million. Now in charge of Corcoran's international division, Chiang does much of her business with foreign investors (especially Chinese ones) and regularly sells over $150 million in upscale residences a year.
Of note
While many of Chiang's clients are shadowy millionaires who live abroad, she's orchestrated property trades on behalf of plenty of local notables as well. Her clients over the years have included diamond executive Robert DiNicola, Barbara Streisand, Jim Carrey, Edgar Bronfman Jr., Raymond Weil chief Benny Shabtai, and Diddy, whose 813 Park townhouse she sold for $15.9 million in 2004. In 2002, she attempted to sell heiress Libet Johnson's 20,000-square-foot triplex penthouse at the Trump International Hotel and Tower for over $50 million, but found no buyer, and had to sell off the property piecemeal over the next five years. Chiang has also handled sales and marketing for entire developments, including Aby Rosen and Michael Fuchs's Loft 67, and, more recently, 1200 Fifth Avenue.
Grudge
Donald Trump was a major Chiang cheerleader following the Trump Palace and Riverside South deals, but the Trump-Chiang relationship took a turn for the nasty in 2005. In December of that year, both Chiang and Corcoran sued Trump, alleging he'd failed to pay them a total of $1.3 million in commissions. To Chiang's embarrassment, Trump prevailed in the suit.
Off hours
Chiang is active on the competitive ballroom dancing circuit.
Personal
The buyer of one of the 152 apartments Chiang sold at Trump Palace was none other than Mrs. Carrie Chiang. She lives there with her second husband, Millard. |
