Ratings & Reviews

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 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!
