Jim D’Amico Becomes Part Owner of Corcoran Premier Realty, Bringing Extensive Real Estate Network

Jim D’Amico, a prominent figure in the real estate industry and chairman of the board for Brands by Integra, has officially joined Central Florida's luxury brokerage, Corcoran Premier Realty, as a part owner. This significant announcement was made by the company on a Monday, signaling a new phase of growth and strategic expansion for the Orlando-based firm. Corcoran Premier Realty operates as a franchisee under the umbrella of The Corcoran Group, a well-established name in residential real estate, which is itself a subsidiary of the larger parent company, Compass International Holdings. The brokerage has carved out a niche for itself by focusing on the higher-end housing markets within the vibrant Orlando metropolitan area.

The leadership team at Corcoran Premier Realty is comprised of broker and president Chocky Burks, alongside co-founders and owners Steve Healy and Matt Tomaszewski. Burks expressed considerable enthusiasm about D’Amico's integration into the company, highlighting the value his extensive experience and proven track record of growth will bring. "For over a decade we’ve built this firm on resilience, relationships and results," Burks stated. "Jim’s involvement gives our leadership team, and our exceptional agents, access to his proven track record of growth that is sure to expand our specialty of delivering personalized, white glove service to our clients." This sentiment underscores the expectation that D’Amico's expertise will further elevate the firm's commitment to exceptional client service.

D’Amico's contribution to the ownership group extends beyond his leadership role at Brands by Integra; he brings with him a robust national platform that encompasses brokerage, mortgage services, and a suite of ancillary real estate-related services. His entrepreneurial acumen was instrumental in transforming Brands by Integra from a modest, single-office brokerage into a sprawling, multi-brand network dedicated to real estate and housing services. This comprehensive network now includes real estate franchises, mortgage lending operations, insurance providers, asset management firms, and property management companies. As of the announcement, the Brands by Integra network boasts a significant presence, spanning 20 states with 10 distinct real estate brands, operating through more than 65 offices and employing over 2,000 agents. In the fiscal year 2025, Brands by Integra demonstrated its market strength by closing an impressive 5,893 transaction sides, generating a substantial total sales volume of $2.64 billion, according to verified data from RealTrends, a leading source for real estate industry analytics.

In his own statement, D’Amico lauded Corcoran Premier Realty's established reputation, emphasizing its client-centric philosophy and its dedication to supporting its agents. "Corcoran Premier Realty has built an exceptional reputation by putting clients first and investing in its agents," D’Amico remarked. "Matt, Steve and Chocky have created something special in Central Florida’s luxury market, and I’m proud to invest in what they’ve built." He further articulated that this strategic partnership is poised to provide the Corcoran Premier Realty team with "added fuel for its next chapter," enabling them to continue delivering the high-caliber, trusted service that their clientele has come to expect from the Corcoran brand. Importantly, agents operating under Corcoran Premier Realty will continue to do so under the firm’s existing name and established local leadership structure, ensuring continuity and a seamless transition.

This move positions Corcoran Premier Realty for enhanced market penetration and service delivery within the competitive Central Florida luxury real estate sector, leveraging D'Amico's national infrastructure and proven growth strategies. The partnership signifies a commitment to further solidifying the firm's standing as a premier provider of high-end real estate services.
