Best in the game! The one thing I find Cory stood out from the rest would be his experience. Cory explained the pros and cons, recommendation based on his experience but not pushing us towards an outcome just to get a sale.

He did an outstanding job in marketing the house. Rather than treating it as just another "commodity", he made us feel that he was focussing fully on selling our property. If you are looking to sell a house, Cory will treat you as a valued customer and he will pay great attention to detail and provide excellent feedback on progress.

Cory was far more dedicated to the sale process than we expected from an agent. While Cory was careful to manage our expectations on price, we sold for above our expectations. A great choice for your next agent!
