Palm Beach real estate agent Newman moves to Corcoran with her $150M vacant-lot listing
Palm Beach agent Shelly Newman, who holds the second-most-expensive land listing in town, has moved her real estate license from William Raveis South Florida to the Corcoran Group. Corcoran President and CEO Pamela Liebman made the announcement this month.
“We are thrilled to welcome Shelly to Corcoran,” Liebman said in a prepared statement. “She leads with humanity and authenticity, making her a perfect match for Corcoran’s human-first approach to real estate.”
Newman had been with the William Raveis since 2018 and was previously at Illustrated Properties in Palm Beach.
“I am so excited to join Corcoran. I have the utmost respect for Pam and her dedication to the industry,” Newman said.
She added that she appreciates how Corcoran’s brand recognition “extends widely across the top luxury markets in the country.”
Newman bought her $150 million ocean-to-lake land listing at 1980 S. Ocean Blvd. with her to Corcoran. The vacant property is immediately north of Sloans Curve and measures 2.28 acres.

Newman made a splash in the local real estate market during the real estate boom of 2021 and 2022 by playing a role in four sizable sales in the 1800 block of South Ocean Boulevard in Manalapan. As listing agent, she negotiated opposite broker Lawrence Moens of Lawrence A. Moens Associates in an $18 million deal at 1840 S. Ocean Blvd in November 2021; and a $26.78 million sale at 1860 S. Ocean Blvd. in July 2022.
In a December 2021 deal recorded at $19 million, Newman brought the buyer to a listing held by agents Nick Younker and Nicholas Malinsoky of Douglas Elliman at 1880 S. Ocean Blvd. in Manalapan. And in May 2021 she handled both sides of a $14 million Manalapan sale at 1800 S. Ocean Blvd.
Last summer, she was the listing agent in another Manalapan deal worth $16.5 million at 3060 S. Ocean Blvd.; Vince Spadea of Douglas Elliman Real Estate repped the buyer.

Newman also in 2021 and 2022, Newman was the listing agent for two properties in Palm Beach that closed at prices above the $40 million threshold. In November 2021, she negotiated opposite broker Christian Angle of Christian Angle Real Estate in a sale recorded at $41 million for a never-lived-in house at 1700 S. Ocean Blvd. Four months later, her listing of a lakefront house at 1330 N. Lake Way sold for $45.36 million, with agent Chris Leavitt of Douglas Elliman handling the buyer’s side.
Newman, who lives in Midtown, was born in the Midwest but has family roots in Palm Beach extending 50 years.
The most expensive land listing in town remains a double oceanfront lot at 1063/1071 N. Ocean Blvd., listed at $200 million by Premier Estate Properties agent Jim McCann.
