Brian Corcoran

I am a commercial real estate investment and development professional with extensive experience in the industry. I recently moved to the US from Ireland following my wedding to my US-citizen wife, Kerry, in late 2022. I am currently looking for work in the US having received employment authorization - I do not now, nor will I in the future, require employer sponsorship to work in the United States. I am targeting roles in commercial real estate investment and development, but I am also open to general financial analysis and strategic finance roles if they represent the right opportunity for me.

I am excited to get working in the US and intend to make an immediate impact for the company which hires me. I am currently monitoring daily developments in US monetary policy and the unfolding banking turmoil as it relates to real estate - I believe that should the current interest rate environment persist, there are potentially generational buying opportunities coming for investors with capital ready to deploy. Strategic positioning and the ability to make transactions happen quickly are going to be important as markets begin to discover prices in the new environment - those who can spot opportunities to efficiently add value through repurposing or repositioning of assets also stand to gain. I would relish an opportunity to join a firm which is in a position to test those theories in the market.

In my spare time, I enjoy participating in and watching sports, reading history books and socializing with friends and family. Currently reading a history of the East India Company and its role in the development of British imperial interests in the sub-continent and "Winning Fixes Everything" the behind-the-scenes story of the rise of the Houston Astros and their unique approach to analytics while fighting an un-cooperative golf swing!

I am a highly motivated and results-oriented individual with a proven track record of success in the commercial real estate industry. I am confident that I can make a significant contribution to any company and I welcome the opportunity to discuss any potential employment opportunities you may have - please do not hesitate to contact me if you think I would make a good fit for your organization. I thank you for taking the time to visit my site.
