Capital Residential should be your first and only choice when selling your home! Cory and his Team at Capital Residential never lost site of the task at hand of selling our home. We saw innovative social media campaigns, an upgraded 3D interactive viewing platform was created when open homes down for a period, always maintaining a steady stream of new people viewing our home.

Extraordinary results, in an extraordinarily short period of time. One minute its listed, the next its sold! He has amazing marketing ideas and concepts which absolutely led to my buyer finding the house. He also kept me updated every single step of the way, which was very reassuring.

A number of our friends recommended Cory. His professionalism, straight-talking, and understanding of our circumstances were excellent. Cory's knowledge of the housing market, his salesmanship, and his experience with buyer behaviour put him apart from the average real estate agent.

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!
