What Clients are Saying about Wayne
|

"Wayne was our agent and he was great; he got our property very fast and was not pushy. If we where to buy another home or knew of someone who wanted to buy or sell their home I would have them get in touch with Wayne...Thank you." - Buyer, Hercules, CA
|
| |
| |
"Wayne took the time to understand what we were looking for and showed us homes that he knew we would be interested in. Wayne also managed the process of our escrow from beginning to end. He was always available and responsive to our questions and inquiries." - Peggy Morris
|

"We are extremely satisfied with Mr. Cory's service. He met all of our expectations and went above and beyond his line of duty. He was always there when we needed him, at any time of the day. He is a valuable agent and I will be sure to refer my family and friends to your agency...I can't find enough words to explain how happy we are with the help he provided. Thank you, Wayne, for your great and dedicated help. We are very happy!" - Richard Toledo, Oakland, CA

"Wayne Cory at ZipRealty worked with me during 2005 to find a first-time home purchase. Wayne is motivated, diligent, organized, prompt, dependable, highly capable and a great negotiator. Wayne and I established an easy rapport from the beginning. As a result, we were able to frankly discuss the pros and cons of properties that we viewed without any hesitation to be honest and forthright. Home buying can be a long and stressful experience. Wayne understood the amount of time and the trials involved and routinely provided insight to the market, the offer process, what the seller's situation and motivation might be, and accordingly helped me to understand the big picture. Wayne can work thru problems quickly and efficiently; and always kept me informed as to the process and issues that revolved around the home purchase. He established and maintained great communication with my entire team (i.e. mortgage lender, escrow officer, etc.), and always made himself available for questions and concerns as they arose. I would highly recommend Wayne as a real estate agent." - Mark Fowler

"Wayne was an invaluable resource when we sold our home. He went way beyond our expectations and the demands that we put on him. Our house sold in just one week, with multiple offers. Wayne negotiated a price and terms well over any of our expectations. I strongly recommend Wayne for all your Real Estate needs." - Bill and Renee
|
| |

"I would refer my family, friends and colleagues to Wayne. If you are looking for not just a good REALTOR but also someone that is going to put your best interest first then you need to be working with him. Thank you for all of your help and understanding." - Carolyn

"We had the opportunity to work with Wayne Cory recently when we were looking for our first home purchase. Because of the competitive market, our budget and our general pickiness, the process could easily have become frustrating. Wayne was very knowledgeable about the market and the neighborhoods we were looking to buy in. He listened to our ideas and was very responsive to our needs. He was extremely patient and encouraging and made the experience fun. He was always available to us and easy to communicate with. When it came time to make our offer, it was Wayne's experience and ability to think outside the box that helped us get our house. We would strongly recommend Wayne to anyone needing a skilled, creative, and friendly Real Estate agent. Thank you Wayne." - Alex & Ed Barlow, Oakland, CA

"Wayne did a great job for us from start to finish. He was responsive, jumped on things quickly for us, and worked effectively on our behalf in dealing with the seller. He followed through on a number of requests throughout the process, and was a great asset to the purchase of our first home." - Buyer

"Every step of the way I knew that Wayne placed my interests first. He showed me countless properties, answered endless questions and found unique solutions to perplexing issues. On the day of closing not only did he come to the signing with me, he identified several errors that saved me so much money I received a rebate from escrow. Think he was done? Hardly, the night before the title was to record we had an earthquake here in the Bay Area. Early the next morning Wayne went to my new home to inspect it before the title was recorded and called me to tell me everything was good. That kind of service is nearly impossible to find and that is why Wayne Cory is the Realtor I will use and recommend always." - Cliff Granger

"Wayne did a fantastic job! His advice was brilliant; he helped me stage my house at minimal cost and with little effort on my part. I really appreciated that he didn't hard-sell me on his services. When I finally got ready to sell my house, Wayne was able to work hard and fast, arranging for repair workers, painters, and cleaners in record time. I recommend him wholeheartedly." Seller, Tracy

"Wayne is a personal friend and if it had not been for him I am not sure we would have ever found a house. We had some special circumstances and Wayne remained committed to finding a house that was right for us. He kept potential new homes in front of us through email and contacted us about homes that looked especially good. Through the process he looked after our interest completely. He was great in explaining documentation and in pointing out various aspects of our house that we should pay attention to. We really cannot say enough good about Zip or Wayne Cory. Thank you so much for going the extra mile." - Ron Pickell

"Wayne went with us to the escrow closing and he didn't even have to be there. I was surprised and I really appreciate him being there. Other agents you never see after you sign the paperwork but he really had our best interest at heart. We will refer our family and friends to Wayne because we trust him to take good care of them...Thank you so much Wayne." - Michael

"Our experience working with real estate agents has been really good but Wayne is by fair the best that we have ever met. His great attitude and willingness to go above and beyond in helping us was exemplary. He not only fought for us on the asking price, but he mad sure that we know everything about the house, as if he was personally purchasing the home for himself. Before meeting Wayne, we had a couple of other real estate agents that we worked with, believe me, with all of Waynes hard work and long hours he put into finding us a house, none of them compared to him. We are very pleased and when we sell our house in 5 years we wouldnt us anyone else." - Larry
