Cory Holtzman – Progressive & Personalized Real Estate Solutions

We could not have had a better agent to represent us than Cory. He has all the «right stuff» when it comes to finding and assessing a house, and sealing the deal. We have met and worked with other real estate agents in the past, and it is all too common for there to be a lot of slick talk but no substance. With Cory, we got a real professional with depth of experience, common sense, and the people skills to really negotiate well on our behalf. In addition, his experience on the project management and construction side was extremely helpful when we were evaluating properties that needed work. He was very detail oriented and was always great at communicating with us through every step of the process. On a personal level, I have known Cory for many years and he brings integrity, honesty, and good humor to what he does. A pleasure to work with!

Cory is an exceptional agent. Serving as my buyer’s broker through a very complicated transaction, Cory’s negotiating and market expertise, work ethic and unwavering positive attitude got us to close on a deal that a lesser agent would have walked away from. Cory quickly assesses a situation and comes up with a game plan — no drama, just thoughtful and efficient results. He’s a straight shooter and takes great pride in his work, namely driving good outcomes for his clients. I recommend him wholeheartedly.

I worked with Corey in the Culver City area selling my home and had a great experience with him. He knows the market and helped with every aspect of selling a home. He had contacts for prepping the house, for a moving company, a good contractor for repairs, termite company… he has wonderful contacts and I would definitely use him again.
I moved to the desert area and he even helped me with some ideas in that area and I eventually bought in the complex he suggested.
You can’t go wrong with Cory Holtzman.

Cory was recommended to me by a coworker who was tired of hearing me complain about the impossibility of the Los Angeles market. He told me that Cory would ‘get the job done’. .. and he wasn’t kidding. Within a few weeks of working with Cory, we closed on a home in the #1 neighborhood on our list.
From the start, Cory showed himself to be a professional. His expertise was apparent in all aspects of the process, from open houses all the way through closing. He is a skilled negotiator (which is an absolute must-​have in this competitive market) and goes above and beyond to make sure his clients are represented fairly.
Even after the house closed, Cory made himself available as a resource for any questions we had. And having been in the business for years, he has excellent referrals for any service you might need done on your home.
I highly recommend Cory Holtzman!

From the beginning, Cory had a very real sense of the needs of my family. Our circumstances were unique and he took on the job like a professional, informing us of what was needed every step of the way, from providing value added suggestions, through to the negotiation and closing phases of our sale.
Cory was not only a broker, he was an ally. Someone who could be counted on throughout the challenges that we faced. Someone who showed up for us and gave us moral support when it was needed.
There is nothing much I can say more, to endorse this fellow and his company, he is to drawer and he has my highest recommendation.

I worked with Cory during my house search. We looked in a variety of neighborhoods and price ranges, narrowing down my search after a number of open houses. Cory listened intently to my needs, my wife’s needs and my family’s requirements. We made a bid, put in a competitive offer and Cory advised on how to win the day. Cory was not only a strategic advisor and a sounding board, he provided post sales support and recommendations. I am quite sure I wouldnt have closed on our house had it not been for Cory’s execution abilities. I recommend Cory to those looking for a house in Los Angeles and in need of talented assistance!

Best Agent in Los Angeles, hands down!
Cory made the process of selling our Condo and buying a house so easy. Cory knows the market, knows all the right people and is always looking out for your best interests. We never felt as though he was pushy and he always made sure we were educated on the experience and made sure that everything worked out for us.
In a tough real estate market, it was great to have someone that was working long hours and making sure that everything was done on time and in our best interest. He went to battle for us to make sure we got the best house for us and made sure he did everything he could to sell our condo at the optimal market price. Not only was he on top of everything he had to do, he was on top of everyone else that had to do their job to make things happen on time.
It was really a breathe of fresh air to work with someone that is so passionate about what he does, he knows people and how hard the process could be. I’m so grateful for having to have met Cory and highly recommend him to all my family and friends. Cory is by your side through the whole process and is even there after you are done. Truly the best at what he does, thank you!

I’ve known Cory personally for a very long time, but when my wife and I were looking to buy a condo in the Bay Area, we had lots of options insofar as agents to contact.
Even though we were in Northern California, and he was in Southern California, Cory was our #1 choice, because he is impeccably detail-​oriented. On a daily basis, he might seem neurotic (he is). But when it comes to buying property, that same attention to the finest points of the transaction is not only an asset, but a comfort.
Cory makes sure that every «I» is dotted, every «T» is crossed, and he has a Rolodex of advisers to approach with any question ranging from property valuation to financing to moving. He is practical and understands that the perfect buying (or selling) opportunity may not come along everyday — the transaction needs to be closed, but carefully, not hastily.
Cory also balances the business and emotional motivations associated with buying or selling property, making him the perfect partner for a young couple looking for their first home; or a small business owner looking to buy a space that can serve double-​duty as a home and office.
I’d recommend him hands-​down again, even for a transaction that isn’t necessarily in his local territory: when it came time to partner with someone who had local knowledge, he vetted the agent for me and turned out to be spot-​on.

Cory started helping me find my 1^st place in October 2012. A complete professional, Cory worked around my schedule (often meeting me within a 1−2hr notice). In the extremely competitive market that unfolded, he was there to reassure me and guide me through the numerous open houses, private showings, and multiple offer situations. He was always the voice of reason and reined me in when I would deviate into emotion based decision making. After numerous close calls and half a dozen property offers, Cory went the extra mile and helped negotiate a short sale offer that was accepted. During the escrow process, Cory’s expertise really shined through. Cory’s kept a daily dialogue with me and using his network of finance, escrow, and inspection professionals was able to keep our 30 day escrow on track and stress free. Working in tech, I was extremely pleased to see how online and streamlined Cory makes the e-​document singing process. 99% of the time I was able to fill documents online at home or at work. Also, Cory is extremely ethical and at no point did I feel I was unaware of what I was signing or what was happening to my lifetime of earnings, 20% deposit, escrow fees, etc. Cory always answered my questions on any one of the hundreds of pages & forms that were signed. Once I closed, Cory leveraged his vast network to give me a phenomenal hardwood flooring referral that did a beautiful job on my original hardwood oak floors. The fiancé and I could not be happier. Cory is worth every penny and would refer him to anyone who is looking to buy or sell.

I could not have been more pleased with my experience working with Cory Holtzman. As a first time home-​buyer, I needed someone who could patiently guide me through the process, someone I felt I could trust and was giving me the straight talk. I felt that Cory brought these qualities to the table, along with an extensive level of experience in all fields of real estate and a vast network of contacts. Throughout the process, I felt that Cory was knowledgeable, easy to get a hold of, and willing to find out the information that was important to me. I would recommend Cory to any friends and family who are interested in buying or selling a home in Los Angeles.

I just completed the purchase of my first home with Mr. Holtzman acting as my agent. In spite of the fact that my sale was convoluted, Cory never let me feel like I was «going it alone». He was always available to give clarity to any situation. He is a resilient advocate, and a skilled negotiator. I felt confident with Mr. Holtzman handling my business for me as he quickly earned my trust. Once my purchase had concluded, he continued to assist me with professional contractors and even referred me to a moving service. I am completely satisfied with my buying experience, and would not hesitate to recommend his services to my friends and family. As a transplanted New Yorker, (and a cynical one at that) I cannot offer a more glowing endorsement for Cory Holtzman. I look forward to working with him again in the future.

Very professional. He will deliver and fight for his clients.

When I was first looking into buying a house I was a little concerned; how was I going to look at houses, deal with all the paperwork, get a loan, upgrading the home, while still working full time and handling all my other commitments? My answer… Cory Holtzman. Cory was really amazing about explaining everything to me so I knew what to expect and I didn’t have any surprises. The personal attention I received from Cory was unreal, from looking at homes on weekend or after I got off from work, to having documents sent to my phone so I could electronically sign them remotely, or always being just a phone call away to answer any questions I had, I was always his priority. After we found the home that was right for me, Cory found a tenant to lease my condo where I was currently living. I was so impressed how fast Cory leased my condo and he did it before I made my first mortgage payment on the new house I had just purchased with Cory. Cory negotiated an amazing deal on my new home; purchase price, credits and repairs, Cory got me a lot more than I ever thought was possible. Cory also helped me with all the updates and renovations on my new home. I figured Cory is in the business he probably knows people that could do some of the updates the home needed. I never expected him to get me multiple bids, help me with ideas, and even drove out multiple times to check on the workers progress. He even helped me pick out the colors for walls!!! Most agents would disappear as soon as the deal was closed but then again Cory is not most agents. I truly was so impressed with Cory and I highly recommend his services.
THANK YOU CORY!
