Cory was hands down the best agent I have ever worked with. He was very responsive, consistent, and handled all situations (both good and bad) with outstanding professionalism!

He saved me THOUSANDS of dollars and may have indirectly saved me a year of time! The sellers agents loved working with him as well which made the entire home purchase go smoother anticipated.

I would give Cory 6/5 stars if I could. Highly recommend!

We purchased and sold our home through Corey.
He quickly caught on to our style and taste. He worked tirelessly to find us a great deal in an excellent neighborhood.
When it came time for us to move he worked to achieve beyond our target price.
Highly recommend him.

When I started looking for a home Corey never bothered asking why someone of my age was looking to be a first time buyer and no once did he give me and my wife the cold shoulder or seemed dismissive in our search but rather explained the process in layman's terminology that I could understand. It's been a great pleasure in dealing with him and April in securing our home purchase. Will I spread his name to my friends and family "You're Darn Shooting"I will and also spread his name to our church family's a no d sister churches as well. One can put trust and confidence in Corey and his team "We Sure Did"

Update: 10/2022: We recently used Cory and his team to sell a home! He was so helpful in getting it ready for market and advising us as to how the current market had shifted. He got it listed and sold for us and we couldnt be more pleased.

We used him as a buyers and as a sellers agent! He did a great job from both sides!!!

3/2022: Cory is a wonderfully enthusiastic, experienced and professional real estate agent. He listened to our wants and needs and found places that matched in a very hectic market! He was always available for questions and concerns. He presented us with a beautiful gift for our new home at closing!

Working with Cory and Jon on the sale of our home was an absolute dream experience. Throughout the process we always felt heard as the sellers and knew from the beginning that they had our best interest in mind, first and foremost. The guidance they gave us through the entire sale made everything seamless, easy and the most positive experience selling a house that we have had. There was never a question we had that went un-answered, and they made it a point to consistently check in and update us with important information we needed to know. My husband and I would recommend them a thousand times over to sell your home.

Cory is a magician! Words can not express how grateful we were for his knowledge and professionalism during our real estate venture. From the start of our house search, to making an offer, closing and getting the keys, it took 27 days! We attribute that amazing progress to having Cory, and his fantastic team working with us and our mortage company to make that happen. We were never stressed during the process, because we knew we could always reach out to Cory or his team to provide guidance. If you’re looking for a real estate agent, Cory Smith is one of the best!

Cory has made the entire buying and selling your home process seamlessly easy. When working with Cory, I knew all I had to do was let him know what I wanted to do and he would take action and make it happen. He would call me and let me know whenever an issue would come up and he would already have a solution figured out but he would call to see if I had any other recommendations or feedback. Cory helped me buy my house when I was on the other side of the country and it was a surprisingly easy process. A couple of years passed and he helped me turn around and sell my house which seemed even easier. Everybody on Cory's team that I had to work with were all super professional, quick to respond and most importantly very friendly. I would highly recommend to anybody looking to buy/sell a house in the RVA area to go to Smith Realty Group!

Corey Smith has beyond exceptional knowledge with the home buying process with top tier professionalism. He is definitely responsive and possesses a drive to ensure that your purchase is well within your limit, which goes in hand with the strong communication in letting you know he is there throughout all steps and what you are seeking to live with when purchasing your home. And with the current market he will indeed fight for you when challenged with multiple offers, and inform you of the many possibilities of such to help you adjust accordingly depending on what you are wanting. From my experience he was definitely responsive, strong communication, presented a plethora of listing based on you needs and very personable throughout the home buying process. 5 out of 5 big time for Corey Smith, he’s on it!!

I have actually never met Cory face-to-face.

But that makes the service he provided me while selling my home even more remarkable.

I was several hundred miles away and needed a realtor who could not only sell my place that had been absolutely destroyed by the current tenant, but find me a competent, trustworthy contractor to do a complete reno before bringing it to market.

Not only did Cory deliver, the contractor he connected me with did an amazing job for a fair price, finishing on time and on budget.

One day I will meet Cory face-to-face in order to shake his hand on a job well done.
