In 2020, when the pandemic hit, I was at home learning everything I could about real estate. There are a lot of internet gurus talking about it, but you're actually out there doing it. Some of these guys are all talk—they sell courses but aren't really flipping houses. If you want to learn about real estate, come to one of Corey's events. I did, and there were just eight of us. I kept contacting Corey for two months with questions, and finally, we got that first deal. Corey brought the group together, shared his contacts, and provided all the information we needed. I used many of his contacts for that first flip. When Corey says he wants to help and is an open book, he truly means it.
The knowledge you share is really important. Your strategy, combined with your wealth of knowledge and experience, has helped me a lot. Knowing your backstory and where you came from is inspiring—like you say, if you can do it, anyone can, and that's the truth. Your strategies and expertise in what's happening in the market are invaluable. When I face challenges, knowing that it's tough for everyone and having someone to lean on to rebuild my confidence has been crucial for me.
From the beginning, your knowledge and expertise in real estate have been invaluable. What strikes me most is how many people you help and how you make each person feel special and important. Despite your busy schedule and personal commitments, you always find time to address my needs directly. You never pass me off to an assistant or make me wait. Making so many people feel uniquely valued is incredibly difficult and special. That’s what makes you truly unique.
I feel like all my relationships are reciprocal, and we've blessed each other. Despite having hundreds of people asking for your help, you've been gracious with opportunities, showing me off-market properties before anyone else. You've also connected me with reliable professionals—giving me multiple contacts for electricians and other trades, which I still use today. I've always tried to be straightforward, ensuring you get your commission, and you've made sure the ROI makes sense for me while providing the support I need to get the job done. That's what a real relationship is all about.
First off, you sold me my home and have been a true friend and realtor. You made me feel like I was your only client, and we learned a lot about each other. I remember looking at homes together and asking for your opinion on various ideas, including a potential mortgage lending gig. Your honest feedback and guidance were invaluable, helping me avoid bad opportunities and setting me up for success. I wouldn't be where I am today without your support.
I met you at church and recognized you from your Remax signs around town. I knew I had to reach out to you. Realizing we attended the same church, I connected with you right away. Seeing your growth has been inspirational. We've done deals together and, unlike many fake investors, you’re the real deal. Our honesty and transparency, rooted in our shared faith, form the core of our values and make us work well together.
If I hadn't met you, I wouldn't have the knowledge you shared about making smart real estate moves. When I bought a place, you immediately advised me to sell and find a better neighborhood with growth potential. You've been guiding me the whole time, teaching me about the challenges like dealing with difficult tenants. Whenever I feel like giving up, I call you, and you remind me why I’m doing this. Your support has been invaluable.
