We received word last night that Corcoran ousted powerbroker Jerry Minsky yesterday. A visit to Corcoran's website confirms that Minsky's profile has been expunged. While not everyone cared for his style (he was very nice to us the couple of times we spoke), no one can argue with his success: Minsky, who joined Corcoran in 1995 when his firm was acquired, went on to consistently be one of the highest producers for Corcoran in Brooklyn; in 2007, he was named Corcoran's Fort Greene Salesperson of the Year. More specifically, Minsky was the dominant broker for townhouses in Fort Greene and Clinton Hill over the last decade. (From his cached profile on Corcoran: "There is truly no one more knowledgeable of brownstone Brooklyn’s history and neighborhood nuances.") No word on the cause of the split, but we hear that they've changed the locks at Corcoran's Fort Greene office.
