Jim Gricar is Executive Vice President, Managing Director of Sales of the highly successful Brown Harris Stevens West Side Division. A seasoned executive and dynamic leader, he is known throughout the industry for cultivating top professional talent as well as providing his brokers with expert guidance. Since Gricar assumed stewardship of the West Side office, it has nearly doubled in size, and experienced explosive sales growth. His division consistently out-performs the market.
A charismatic spirit with an engaging manner and quick wit, Gricar is often called upon as an industry expert by news organizations such as The New York Times, CNBC, The Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, and The Associated Press. He is also a frequent lecturer on a range of critical topics impacting the real estate industry, including ethics, market conditions and professional development.
Equal parts decisive and disarming, Gricar exemplifies all the trademarks of a gifted leader. His success can be attributed to the sum of his personal and professional experiences. Upon embarking on a career in residential real estate in the mid-1990's, he quickly became a star top producer by utilizing the sharp business acumen gleaned years earlier in the financial services sector. When The Corcoran Group tapped Gricar to serve as Managing Director of the company's Downtown office, he soon tripled revenue and created a truly vibrant sales environment. He joined the Brown Harris Stevens executive team in 2004.
Jim Gricar resides in Manhattan's flower district, and spends leisure time in his oft-published Connecticut weekend home, which he painstakingly restored to its original mid-century modern grandeur. He indulges his passion for design as a collector of fine decorative objects and furnishings from the same era, and is an active member of several modern preservation organizations.
