Brian Dougherty

Brian Dougherty is Partner and CEO of Corcoran Property Advisors based out of the Boston office on Newbury Street. Responsible for more than $850 Million of property sales, he has been profiled in Boston Magazine for the past 7 years as one of the top producing agents in the region and is often quoted in the Wall Street Journal, the Boston Globe, The Financial Times, and other global publications. In 2026 it was reported that Brian, along with his colleague Maggie Gold Seelig, represented the highest single family sale in the history of Massachusetts, after having sold the most expensive property in 2025. 

Prior to his affiliation with Corcoran, Brian was a Managing Director at Compass. There, alongside his partner Nick, he led The Private Brokerage team which existed to provide accomplished individuals, families, and their advisors with access to the most personalized, sophisticated, and confidential real estate support available.

Brian was Managing Partner at Robert Paul Properties from 2014 until early 2019 when he sold his interest in the business. He previously served in a number of senior management and business development roles throughout the United States. From 2005 to 2007, Brian was a real estate sales advisor with DPS Development Company, advising individuals and families on the purchase of luxury real estate developments in the Turks Caicos Islands and in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

Brian served on the Advisory Board for the Top Agent Network (TAN) which is a private membership of the top 10% producing agents in the state. He is currently a member of Governor Maura Healey's finance committee, and previously served as a member of the finance committee for former Governor Charlie Baker. Brian and his partner Nick live in Cohasset with their 2 sons after having lived in Boston’s Back Bay and South End neighborhoods for many years. Passionate about design and preservation, Brian and Nick have renovated and redeveloped several significant properties throughout the years including a boutique inn on Cape Cod.

Testimonials

Brian was exceptional from start to finish. The amount of time and personalized attention he invested in me over the course of several months was more than I ever would have expected. During that time, he leveraged his network extensively to identify numerous listed and off-market properties that fit my criteria and went out of his way to arrange personal showings whenever possible to accommodate my schedule. He was patient, supportive, and genuinely fun to work with throughout the entire process. Brian's knowledge of the Boston market and deal-making intuition was invaluable, and his presence at the negotiation table is the only reason why I was able to purchase a property in this hyper-competitive market. He also served as a trusted adviser through each step of the closing process to ensure my interests were protected and the deal progressed smoothly. This level of attention continued after the closing, as he made himself and his team available to help with anything I needed to get moved in and settled. I will continue to recommend Brian to all of my family, friends, and colleagues without hesitation. I have no doubt that he will provide them with the same level of personalized service and drive similar great outcomes as he did with me.

I operate a service-oriented business where being responsive to clients is our number one priority. Brian and his team exceeded all of my expectations in both buying my new home and selling my old one. I would not hesitate to refer Brian to any of my friends and colleagues. What sets Brian apart from all of the rest of the real estate brokers with whom I have worked is his knowledge, his responsiveness, and his network of service providers. He knows his market well and is able to provide insight into a neighborhood or property above and beyond what is provided on an MLS listing. He is also responsive and attentive to the many questions a buyer or seller would have, and he responds to my emails and phone calls promptly. What I further appreciate about Brian is that he makes the buying and selling process so easy. I am a very busy professional and I ended up finding my home probably at the most inopportune time workwise. Yet, Brian and his team were able to connect me with service providers that made the overall process easy and possible.

We have been looking for a condo in this location for 3 years. When the opportunity came up Brian was integral in helping us navigate through the bidding process in an extremely competitive environment. He is extremely knowledgeable and responsive, has a professional demeanor, and is a pleasure to work with. It was helpful that he also had a relationship with the selling broker. I highly recommend Brian to anyone looking for a home in the greater Boston area.

The key to Brian’s success is no big secret. It is just a commitment to service that is underscored by an astounding appreciation for architecture, homes and people, and a very sophisticated understanding of luxury real estate marketing at home and abroad. When I am speaking to buyers looking to purchase in the Greater Boston region, who rightly demand and expect the best advice, who do I want them to speak to first? The answer is Brian.

Brian was a terrific partner in this transaction. He was not only knowledgeable and efficient but also really went the extra mile to move the deal forward. His service during our search process, negotiation, closing, and post-closing was superb. He was also a pleasure to work with throughout the process. We have recommended Brian to several friends already and we would absolutely use him on any future transactions in the Boston area.

Brian is the consummate professional, whether it's working around our busy schedules and making the house hunt fit into hectic days, or his expert knowledge of the market, or his talent in getting the deal done in a competitive bidding landscape. And Brian manages it all with grace under pressure. I would recommend him with the greatest enthusiasm to other executives (and I have).
