Cory is the best. He helped make all aspects of our home sale smooth and painless. He is very engaging and responsive. He was able to get our house prepped, painted, landscaped, and staged on very short notice. I would recommend Cory to anyone looking for a real estate agent.

When we decided to relocate from Los Angeles to the Bay Area for work on a short timeline, we knew that finding a place to live would be one of the biggest challenges. We're so glad we contacted Cory Cooper! He jumped into action immediately, lining up a comprehensive set of property visits to get our search started the very next weekend. While we were searching during a slower time of year for the housing market in general, seeing a wide variety of properties helped us narrow our search among Peninsula communities and property characteristics. When we left after just a day and a half, we had a strategy for making offers on our top choices. With Cory's guidance, our first offer on our top choice was accepted, and we closed well before our move! Cory was always available to answer questions, returning calls and texts promptly and helpfully. He also explained the key differences between the process in other housing markets where we had lived and San Mateo County. We are so glad to have worked with Cory and recommend him highly!

Cory was an absolute pleasure to work with, and I highly recommend him to anyone buying a home, especially first home buyers. As first time buyers, we weren't sure what the process was, what to expect or how to go about the different stages of bidding, financing, closing, etc. Cory helped set us up for success by carefully walking us through the different stages of the process, giving us insight into what would happen next and setting up our expectations throughout. When hiccups happened throughout the process, Cory was able to give us the right advice to navigate the challenges and get the deal done. Even after we closed, Cory went above and beyond to make my family and I happy with the purchase by taking care of many details that made our experience extra special. We're very happy that we found Cory.

Cory was fantastic at navigating us through the purchase of our first home, from viewing to close. He was extremely knowledgable of the local area and the towns surrounding it down to weather, schools, food, city ordinances, and busy vs quiet streets. He connected us with previous clients living in the area if we wanted to ask questions and was available himself 24/7. He was patient, super friendly, honest and respectful. I loved his excitement and optimism. He was great at pointing out potential issues in the homes we viewed and made welcomed suggestions for updates. Cory provided great resources for local contractors and connected us with mortgage/banking services. We are very happy to have worked with Cory for this first-time buying experience and would recommend him without reservation. Thank you Cory.

Working with Cory to buy our house was an absolutely fantastic experience. He was referred to us by a close family member who Cory helped buy an amazing property.Cory is extremely knowledgeable both about prevailing market conditions as well as the area in general. He grew up locally and has been in the real estate market here for many years, and his experience and local connections were a huge advantage for us. Cory almost always knew of the sellers' real estate agents, and he frequently had an existing professional relationship. This enabled us to access properties before they were officially listed (as well as off-market properties), and his frequent conversations with other agents helped him give us timely and accurate guidance.As first-time home buyers, Cory helped us get oriented in the market and home buying process. He also spent a huge amount of effort -- over the course of many long phone calls -- helping us narrow down our parameters, and it felt like he knew what we wanted as well as we did. Through this search, he remained unbelievably patient, highly supportive, and never pushy. When we needed to pause our home buying process for a little while, he was respectful of that while still keeping us in the loop. He also understood our financial constraints, and we ended up with a great property within our budget.It was very easy to get in touch with Cory. He was incredibly responsive, day and night, and on several occasions he stayed up quite late working with us. Calling him "hard working" is an understatement. During Covid, he was happy to show us properties via video chat, and he often scouted potential properties to see if they would be worth our time.Once our offer was accepted, Cory smoothed out the remainder of the process. As issues arose, Cory always proactively took care of business, even when it wasn't really his responsibility. Knowing that he was taking care of all the little things was a huge weight off of our shoulders. Lastly, Cory referred a number of tradespeople and vendors, several of whom we used (and were happy with).

We can not recommend Cory Cooper highly enough! He made buying our house such a breeze! We hadn't bought a home in a long time and were apprehensive about working with a realtor - there are such horror stories out there - but Cory immediately put us as ease. He is warm, caring, and an exceptionally knowledgeable professional. Cory was extremely responsive to our requests and worked hard to make our bid stand out from the rest. Cory demystified every aspect of the process of buying a house, attending to every detail, and made the entire purchase process a truly enjoyable experience - even in the midst of a pandemic! Cory is the Real Deal. We could not have been happier - Cory's as good as they get.

We found Cory via Zillow and through the stellar reviews as we needed someone with good knowledge of local markets and he was exactly as the stellar reviews would suggest. He has good negotiation skills. We really liked a house (what is our home now), and it was because of Cory that we got a good deal on it and was able to get into a contract at lower than advertised within 10 days. He is someone you would surely want on your side. He has keen knowledge about finding out the drawbacks in a property that an untrained eye would overlook. Not only that he was able to help sell our property in another county and we were able to get into a contract within only a week on the market. Overall loved the smoothness and ease with which he navigated our real estate needs.

Cory was such a great find - we stumbled on him through Zillow, and he helped us look at multiple houses in South SF, Foster City, and San Mateo. We were very new to the home buying process and he gave us great advice on looking through disclosures, putting in an offer, and always took our questions back to the seller to get them answered quickly. Hes incredibly good at talking to sellers agents to determine what the seller is looking for in a buyer.When we finally found a home we wanted to put an offer on, Cory was instrumental in figuring out the offer amount that was right for us based on the market and the homes condition. I really appreciated that he didnt push us at all, just gave us advice, and when we were finally ready with our number he didnt tell us if he thought it was too high or low. He also has a great financing contact who helped us accomplish a fast close. He even went above and beyond and wrote us a recommendation in our offer to help strengthen it.There were two other offers, but thanks to Cory ours was accepted! Later Cory took extra time to let us see the home again and have a final walkthrough before closing. We noticed some cleanliness issues and he sent an awesome cleaner out for us at his own expense. It made move in so much smoother!Cory also has a resource for just about everything you could need done on your home, so knowing him is super handy after purchase.I havent worked closely with another realtor before, but I have to imagine they arent all like Cory. He made the experience so smooth, had our back the entire time, and I dont think we would have this home without him. Theres a reason hes highly rated, and when were ready to sell or buy again I wouldnt hesitate to call Cory again. Hes so incredibly good at what he does and is such a pleasure to work with!

Our friend recommended Cory to us, and we were really happy with our recent buying experience with Cory. We had our initial conversation with Cory in late February, and we decided to pause our home search once the COVID lockdowns started. When we were evaluating whether or not to pick up the search back up in July, Cory went over what to expect and helped us get comfortable resuming our search. Cory was always listening and attentive to our needs and helped us navigate the end to end process. Through each house we looked at, and understanding what we liked and didn't like, Cory helped us frame the criteria we should care about given the constraints of the specific housing market in Peninsula. Then when the time came when we liked a particular house, Cory helped us move quickly with extremely clear details to enable us to make an attractive offer. We definitely felt we were in guided by an expert throughout the process: thank you Cory!
