Description

In this episode of No Vacancy, Taylor Avakian sits down with James Corr, founder of Corr Group, who shares the raw, behind-the-scenes reality of building luxury homes in one of the most volatile real estate markets in recent history. From his roots in Irish construction to flipping multi-million-dollar estates in Los Angeles, James breaks down how he's navigating cost pressure, design expectations, and ultra-wealthy buyer psychology.

Learn how top luxury builders are:

  • Managing spec development risk with rising rates
  • Transitioning from contractor to full-time developer
  • Designing homes that speak to emotion and lifestyle
  • Collaborating with agents and architects to shape value
  • Building long-term vision while surviving short-term storms

This episode is a real look at what it takes to build, survive, and scale in LA’s luxury market.
