"What started out as a straightforward home purchase with the seller promising a fast close turned into an unanticipated six-month marathon after learning the home would be a short sale requiring not one but two outstanding mortgage obligations to be negotiated. There was a startling amount of misinformation and missing information, and then we were faced with having to make a greatly accelerated interstate move while shelter-in-place orders were being announced as the Covid-19 pandemic gained momentum. Through it all, Cory offered us amazing support and advice, and he helped us in many practical ways, too. He introduced us to our lawyer who helped us track the seller’s efforts to get approvals from their lenders and who addressed several last-minute problems that would have derailed our closing. Cory coordinated inspections and repair estimates, and he helped keep our concerns on the radar of all parties involved. We had no doubt Cory was on our side: He was proactive, thoughtful, and empathetic, and we could not have asked for a better agent and partner. I recommend him unreservedly."
★★★★★
"We had very specific requirements regarding what kind of home we needed, including which direction our house was facing. Cory took all of our needs into consideration, even previewing homes for us to ensure it was a good fit for our family. He took the time make sure that he explained every single aspect of the home buying process to us, even though we were already somewhat familiar with it, all in an effort to ensure that we understood all of our options and the timing of everything. He also did a full comparative market analyses for us on the homes we were interested in pursuing to ensure that we fully understood the pricing approach. It wasn’t a easy process by any means with putting in offers on multiple different homes and tough negotiations, but Cory was by our side the entire time to ensure we were comfortable with everything and he saw everything through to the end. We are very much looking forward to work with him in any future home deals that we might have!"
★★★★★
"We had been working with another agent/company while trying to find a house in a very competitive market and we were unable to get anywhere. My husband found Cory and we were able to get the house of our dreams in a great location and at a competitive price. Cory knows the Chicago North Shore market very well and has important relationships with other agents which enabled us to negotiate on a house we thought was out of our reach. Thanks to Cory's persistence we not only sold our house at a good price but he leveraged his contacts to ensure we didn't compromise on our purchase. Thank you Cory!"
★★★★★
"Cory was beyond helpful from the very first day that we met him. We looked at many homes with him and he always provided comprehensive feedback in terms of comparing the homes in a side by side fashion and pointing out the positives and negatives of each. He was very knowledgeable about the area, providing feedback on things such as local market stats and contractors that could help us with work that we needed done once we moved in. He was super responsive at all times of the day/night which was important to us. He guided us in the right direction every step of the way to ensure that we found the right house for our family and purchased it at the right price when he was negotiating on our behalf. He also followed up with us after closing to make sure things were going well and to see if we needed anything. We would without a doubt use Cory in the future and will of course recommend him to our family and friends."
★★★★★
"If you want a realtor who is totally client-oriented and very open and honest and knowledgeable about the workings of a home, then Cory is the best choice for your consideration. From our very first meeting a year ago, we were impressed with Cory’s work ethic, easy demeanor and past history of development and construction and sales. Based on our personal preferences, we decided to hold off looking for homes until this past September and Cory pinpointed homes that we were interested in and ultimately ended buying one fairly quickly. We are now working with Cory to sell our home and we have full confidence in his ability to help us achieve a fair price."
