Jim Gricar is Executive Vice President, Managing Director of Sales of the highly successful Brown Harris Stevens West Side Division. A seasoned manager and dynamic leader, he is known throughout the industry for cultivating top professional talent as well as providing brokers with expert guidance towards achieving the goals of clients and customers alike. Since Gricar assumed stewardship of the West Side office, it has nearly doubled in size, and experienced explosive sales growth.
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, Financial Times and CNBC. 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. Gricar's deep appreciation for the artistry of mid-century modern architecture led him to seek a professional path that complemented his interest in design. 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.
Jim Gricar resides in Manhattan's flower district, and spends leisure time in his oft-published Connecticut weekend home, which he painstakingly and beautifully 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.
