Corcoran Enters Long Island, Tapping Local Powerhouse SRG Residential

SYOSSET, NY – May 27, 2026 – The Corcoran Group, a giant in residential real estate, has officially planted its flag on Long Island, announcing its first-ever affiliate in the region, Corcoran SRG Residential. The move signals a significant strategic push into one of the nation's most competitive and sought-after suburban markets, partnering with a dynamic local brokerage that has seen explosive growth.

The new affiliation, based in Syosset, is led by the founding trio of SRG Residential: David Cohen, Jared Sarney, and Sam Horowitz. Effective immediately, their firm will leverage Corcoran's global brand power to serve affluent communities across Nassau and Western Suffolk County, a territory that has become a prime destination for city dwellers seeking more space.

Pamela Liebman, President and CEO of The Corcoran Group, announced the launch, emphasizing the strategic importance of the partnership. "Long Island is an incredibly dynamic real estate market, and SRG Residential has built a strong reputation," Liebman stated. "Their presence in Central Long Island creates a strategic link between the Corcoran® brand's established brokerage footprint in New York City and the Hamptons."

A Strategic Play in a High-Stakes Market

Corcoran's entry is not just an expansion; it's a calculated move into a real estate market defined by intense demand and critically low supply. Long Island has been a primary beneficiary of the sustained urban-to-suburban migration, a trend supercharged in recent years. This has pushed property values to record highs and created a fiercely competitive landscape.

Recent market data paints a stark picture of the region's appeal. In early 2025, the median sales price for a single-family home in Nassau County soared to $820,000, a year-over-year increase of over 12%. Meanwhile, housing inventory has plummeted, with some reports indicating a supply of just 2.5 months, far below the six months considered a balanced market. This structural shortage, driven by a combination of high demand and homeowners with low mortgage rates staying put, means properties that do come to market are often snapped up quickly.

The luxury sector, a cornerstone of Corcoran's business, has proven particularly resilient. Despite economic headwinds, the demand for high-end homes in communities like Roslyn, Woodbury, Melville, and Port Washington continues to be a leading driver of transaction trends. Corcoran SRG Residential is positioned to serve these markets, along with Dix Hills, Plainview, and Merrick, among others.

The Rise of a Local Powerhouse

At the heart of this major affiliation is SRG Residential, a firm that has charted a remarkable trajectory. Founded just in 2023, the boutique brokerage achieved over $800 million in sales in a short period, establishing itself as a formidable force in the local market. This rapid ascent is a testament to its leadership.

The founding partners bring a unique and complementary blend of expertise. David Cohen transitioned from a successful career in commercial real estate, where he managed leasing, acquisitions, and new developments, bringing a builder's perspective and over $60 million in recent residential sales. Jared Sarney is a consistently top-ranked agent in both Nassau and Suffolk counties, known for his prowess in new development and strategic marketing. Rounding out the team is Sam Horowitz, who leverages a background as a real estate attorney to navigate complex transactions, adding a layer of legal acumen that has contributed to his over $300 million in personal sales.

"David, Jared, and Sam bring an exceptional mix of local expertise and deep commitment to both their clients and affiliated agents," Liebman noted. "Their integrated approach across brokerage and new construction makes them a natural fit for Corcoran."

Local Expertise Meets a Global Brand

The partnership is designed to be mutually beneficial, merging SRG's deep-rooted community knowledge and client base with Corcoran's extensive resources, technology, and international brand recognition. For SRG, the affiliation is a strategic play to scale its success.

In a joint statement, the firm's founders expressed their enthusiasm for the new chapter. "Our vision aligns closely with the Corcoran® brand, and this is an affiliation built for mutual growth," said Cohen, Sarney, and Horowitz. "Local expertise meets a global brand. We bring a proven, agent-focused approach, and the Corcoran system delivers the platform and reach that can support long-term business development. Affiliating with the Corcoran brand will help us to elevate agent productivity, attract and retain high-quality talent, and expand our presence across Long Island."

This sentiment was echoed by Stephanie Anton, President of Corcoran Affiliates, who highlighted the firm's impressive track record. "David, Jared, and Samuel have achieved extraordinary results already, and we are excited to support the next chapter of their growth," she said.

Corcoran's Expanding Footprint

This Long Island launch is a key piece in Corcoran's broader strategy of aggressive expansion through its affiliate network, which began in 2020. The model allows the New York-based brand to quickly enter and compete in key markets by partnering with established local leaders. In recent years, Corcoran has added affiliates in high-growth areas across the U.S. and internationally, including Charlottesville, Virginia; Santa Fe, New Mexico; Frankfurt, Germany; and Murcia, Spain.

For the newly minted Corcoran SRG Residential, the immediate focus will be on leveraging the parent company's marketing platforms and agent support systems to boost productivity and market share. The firm will continue to operate from its Syosset office while actively building out a new location in Merrick on the south shore, signaling its intention for further growth. With plans for additional offices across Long Island's north and south shores in the pipeline, Corcoran's presence in this vital suburban corridor is set to grow significantly.
