Corcoran Vice President Merele Williams-Adkins called in some intimidation when I showed up at her open house on Sunday: her husband, wielding threats. I had been outside Williams-Adkins’ listing at 14 Saint James Place in Clinton Hill for just over an hour when a friend began to take photographs of my signs. This didn’t sit well with the VP’s husband, who had just arrived to do some of the dirty work. The following transpired:
“Don’t show up at one of my wife’s open houses again.”
Me: “Is that a threat?”
“It’s not a threat, it’s a promise.”
Me: “What will you do if I show up?”
“Show up and you will find out.”
Do Corcoran brokers typically have their spouses guarding the door? Are these the kind of tactics that got William-Adkins into The Corcoran Group’s “Multi-Million Dollar Club”? Does her uncle show up at your house and make you buy her listings?

Rule of law: unless the husband is a licensed real estate agent, he has no right to assist with any aspect of the property even if he’s acting innocently just to escort buyers into the property. That he acted in such a manner speaks to lack of civility on his part and says much (or little) about his wife, the agent.
