According to her LinkedIn profile, Erika became a real estate agent in N.Y.C. in October 2018. She started working with The Corcoran Group, a real estate agency founded by Shark Tank investor Barbara Corcoran.

Though it's not clear if she's still actively selling real estate, her Zillow bio describes her as "a multidimensional entrepreneur" who formerly worked on "the developer side" of N.Y.C. real estate.

Is there some chromosome that links conservatism--or perhaps more likely a tendency to autocracy--to sexual abuse? This is happening too often to be coincidence.

I used to think it was just weird that the MAGA base were obsessed with accusations of pedophilia and drinking the blood of children, as if this was a common thing and a trait associated with a particular political point of view. i thought they were just making up the worst thing they could imagine, since their positions on real issues were so unpopular. Now it seems perhaps a case of projection. At least among the leadership; the folllowers perhaps more duped than guilty.

I'm assuming that drinking the blood of children remains a myth. But the sex trafficking is proving to be far more common than I imagined. They say rape is not about sex, but about power. So is pedophilia that on steroids? And is it associated, after all, with a particular political point of view, but the people complaining the loudest got it in reverse?

Erika Kirk's Corcoran Group link in focus amid company's Epstein links; ‘handled his assets…’

Erika Kirk, the widow of Turning Points USA founder Charlie Kirk, worked as a real estate agent with New York City-based real estate dealers, the Corcoran Group. A September 2025 article on USA Today noted that Erika was working with the group at the time of Charlie's death then.

Erika Kirk now heads his late husband's organization, TPUSA, as its Chairman and CEO. It is unclear if she is still associated with Corcoran Group. However, the links have resurfaced amid the DOJ's release of Epstein files.

The Corcoran Group handled the sale of Jeffrey Epstein high-profile properties across the US to compensate his victim. The sales were carried out by Corcoran Group agent Kerry Warwick, who listed and sold Epstein's Pam Beach mansion and his New York City townhouse.

Speculation about Erika Kirk's purported link to Epstein rose amid the connection. However, it is unclear if Erika Kirk was with Corcoran Group when they were involved in the sale of the Jeffrey Epstein files. Additionally, there is no mention of Erika or Charlie Kirk in the millions of pages of Epstein files released by the Department of Justice under the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
