Jim D’Amico, chairman of the board of Brands by Integra, has joined Corcoran Premier Realty as a part owner, adding national real estate and housing-services expertise to the Central Florida luxury brokerage. The move gives the Orlando-area firm additional growth support while preserving its existing name, leadership structure and client relationships.
Key takeaways
- D’Amico joins Corcoran Premier Realty as a part owner.
- The brokerage serves higher-end markets in the Orlando area.
- Its existing leadership, branding and agent relationships will remain in place.
- D’Amico brings experience across brokerage, mortgage, insurance, asset management and property management.
The ownership change is positioned as an expansion of the firm’s leadership capabilities rather than a restructuring of day-to-day operations. Corcoran Premier Realty will continue operating from offices in Winter Park and Windermere under its established local leadership.
A new ownership addition for a growing brokerage
Corcoran Premier Realty is led by broker and President Chocky Burks, along with co-founders and owners Steve Healy and Matt Tomaszewski. The firm was founded in 2009 and affiliated with The Corcoran Group in 2020.
The brokerage has more than 60 agents across its two Central Florida offices. Its business focuses on personalized service in the region’s luxury housing markets, where local relationships and market expertise remain central to its strategy.
D’Amico brings a broader housing-services platform
D’Amico developed Brands by Integra from a single-office brokerage into a multibrand network spanning real estate franchises and related housing services. The company said its platform now includes 10 real estate brands across 20 states, with more than 65 offices and 2,000 agents.
In 2025, the network closed 5,893 transaction sides representing $2.64 billion in sales volume, according to RealTrends Verified data. That operating background gives D’Amico experience in scaling brokerage businesses and coordinating services that extend beyond traditional home sales.
Focus remains on continuity and future growth
For Corcoran Premier Realty, the partnership is expected to provide additional resources and strategic experience without changing the way agents serve clients. The company said agents will continue operating under the existing Corcoran Premier Realty name and local leadership.
Burks described D’Amico’s involvement as an opportunity to strengthen the firm’s leadership team and support its agents. D’Amico similarly characterized the investment as a way to help the brokerage enter its next phase while maintaining the service standards associated with the Corcoran brand.
The arrangement reflects a broader focus among independent and franchised brokerages on combining local market knowledge with larger operational platforms. For Corcoran Premier Realty, the immediate priority is to build on its Central Florida presence while retaining the agent and client relationships developed since its founding.
