"My wife and I really enjoyed our experience working with Cory. He taught us quite a bit about the process (which we needed), and it never felt like we were bothering him. His attention to detail and the amount he cared about getting us into the right house, really just made it an amazing experience. Overall we were thrilled with Cory in every way. He was super involved and gave great advice. We would recommend him wholeheartedly."

★★★★★
"Cory Kohut was amazing! As we had not been involved in a real estate transaction for over 32 years his patience, responsiveness and in-depth knowledge of the markets was exactly what we needed. We met Cory as a realtor and after he guided us through two transactions – both the sale and purchase of a home – we have a new friend."

★★★★★
"My husband and I were first time home buyers and cannot thank Cory enough for helping us find our current home. We took our time, initially thinking we wanted a condo but quickly realizing we wanted to jump right into home ownership. Cory listened closely to what we were looking for, was never pushy, and I trusted him to always shoot straight with us. He was highly responsive when we were interested in moving quickly but also understood when we needed to take some breaks in the search process. Since we were new to the game, Cory always took the time to explain the parts of home buying process that were completely foreign to us and provided additional resources for us to investigate on our own time. I highly recommend Cory to any potential home buyer; we had a flawless experience with him."

★★★★★
"Cory is a pro's pro. He's extremely knowledgeable on the local market and houses in general. He wants you to find the right home and he won't push you to buy if you are not ready. We really enjoyed our time working with him and would recommend him to anyone who asks."

"My mother recently passed away, and my father is ill. My parents lived in Forest Park for many years. I live in Pennsylvania and needed to sell their home in Forest Park. I went online and read the reviews of Cory. I knew he was the one and only I would use to sell my parents home.Not only did he sell the home the first week,he helped arrange furniture moved, the house cleaned , plumbing, a attorney etc . He managed to do all of this to allow me to stay in Pennsylvania to take care of my father . I haven't had the pleasure to meet Cory in Person, but I can verify he is top notch ."

But he was ultimately drawn back to a real estate career.
