From skipping coffee runs to hosting dinner clubs, Corcoran Group CEO Pamela Liebman has one message for Gen Z: getting your first home takes sacrifices—but it’s doable, even in today’s pricey market.
Holy shit that was tough to finish that article. There are so many quotes from this idiot that are just fucking nonsense. Here are my top three:
“It is just as tough,” Liebman exclusively tells Fortune. “Back then, it was more difficult in some ways because you had less neighborhoods that people would live.”
Plus, she says, never has there been more opportunity at young people’s fingertips—not just when it comes to inventory on the market: “If you’re not afraid to show off your skill set, and you try and find yourself an opportunity where you’re going to be appreciated and where people are going to allow you to expand your horizons and hopefully add value to the company that you’re at, I think it’s an unbelievable time.”
“It’s not that expensive,” she adds. “So if you’re willing to move around, which people are now, I think that there are definitely opportunities out there… You’re going to secure a much, much less expensive apartment than if you are insistent on being in the West Village.”
I’m about to list my house for 20k more than I purchased it 3 years ago. When it goes on the market there will only be two other houses in the same price range (~100k range, with mine in the middle).
What she’s saying is so insanely out of touch. That’s a 70+ year old house and my elderly millennial ass could just afford it after years of saving
I won’t be recomping the improvements I made to the house, that 20k is basically going to the realtors lol

When they show you how stupid they are, believe it and remember it. The myth of meritocracy has to die.
