Corcoran Legends Realty Acquires Bedford's Renwick Real Estate

BEDFORD, NY — A partnership between a local real estate office and its larger collaborator has been cemented with a takeover that is expected to offer advantages for buyers and sellers in the area's hot real estate market.

Corcoran Legends Realty, a franchisee of Corcoran Group LLC, announced the acquisition of Renwick Real Estate, located in Bedford. The addition of Renwick Real Estate’s group of agents in a central Bedford office adds to Corcoran Legends Realty’s significant presence across Westchester County.

"We are proud to welcome Renwick Real Estate’s family of agents to our Corcoran Legends Realty team," Marcene Hedayati, Principal Broker and Managing Partner of Corcoran Legends Realty, said in a statement announcing the deal. "Renwick Real Estate has served northern Westchester for over 140 years with exceptional service to their clients and outstanding expertise on the market. A reputation like theirs is priceless. We believe this addition will become an invaluable asset to our brokerage, allowing us to continue offering the highest possible level of service for our clients in northern Westchester."

By welcoming Renwick Real Estate’s family of 16 agents and adding their Bedford office, Corcoran Legends Realty’s footprint across Westchester County will surpass 100 agents and total five offices, with additional offices located in Bronxville, Irvington, Tarrytown and Briarcliff Manor.

"While we have been exploring the opportunity to align ourselves with a larger brand, we are very pleased to announce that Renwick Real Estate will join with Marcene Hedayati and Corcoran Legends Realty," Jim Renwick said of the changes. "After four generations of providing real estate services in Westchester County, this decision was carefully made, and we are confident that it is the ideal next step for our agents, who have been so loyal to Renwick Real Estate over the years. Corcoran has an impeccable brand reputation and will give our agents access to expand their elevated services to New York City, the Hamptons, South Florida, and all other destinations where our clientele reside."

Legends Realty was founded in 2007 by Hedayati with partners Elvira Aloia, Mary Case Friedner, Phyllis Lerner and Karen Stroub.

"We believe there will be a natural synergy based on both brokerages recognizing that authentic connection is essential to success in the real estate business, as we both prioritize building and maintaining relationships with clients, agents, and other industry professionals," Hedayati added.

In September 2020, Corcoran CEO Pam Leibman announced an affiliate partnership with the firm.

"I'm thrilled that we’ve grown our Corcoran family in New York even more with Corcoran Legends Realty," Leibman said at the time. "Westchester County is such a key area in the state and is another direct line to the city. Having top-notch agents joining us who have existing knowledge and expertise in the area, and who are able to provide our New York City and East End agents another opportunity to expand their business, is terrific."
