Coby made the entire buying process a dream. His calm, professional and caring demeanor was the perfect resource. When I found the THE home, he negotiated a soldi deal, and made sure that the inspections, escrow, and the closing went off without a hitch. I highly recommend Coby for all of your home selling, buying and leasing needs.

We couldn't be more thrilled with our experience working with Coby! As first time home buyers in the US, he was instrumental throughout our process. From the first viewing all the way through to closing, Coby was always available. He answered every question, calmed every nerve and celebrated every win with us. We are super grateful for everything and would not hesitate working with him again in the future!

Coby was fantastic in helping us buy our first charming beach home. I didn't need someone to drive me to open houses or try to "sell" me a house. I wanted a trusted partner to provide insights on the properties we liked. He was exactly that (on our first property we looked at)! Coby was wonderful with providing that expertise and because of him, we mustered up the courage to put a below ask offer, which ended up being the wining bid (after some beautifully handled back and forward negotiations). Not only that, Coby got the seller to do the tenting for the termite repair before us moving in, which is not common and saves us another $2-3k. We are so in love with our home now and beyond grateful to have Coby as our trusted partner in making this happen.

Coby is great; he represented us in purchasing our first home. He knows the area well and provided helpful insights on the area and houses. We had a packed viewing schedule for 7-8 houses a day, and he was very patient with us and answered all our questions/concerns. He also is very helpful when we decide to put in offers and negotiate for closing. Our home purchase journey is smooth, not to mention he's very responsive.

Coby was simply unbelievable. I loved working with him. He was very responsive, extremely knowledgeable about the area and issues that arose, handled everything in a timely and efficient manner, and overall created just a great experience for buying my first home. I could not recommend working with him highly enough!
