On one weekend shift, Cory engaged with a hedge fund owner looking for the perfect first home for his daughter. Knowing the inventory inside and out, Cory determined Unit #701 was ideal. He negotiated a discount off the asking price, secured included furnishings, and oversaw the custom build-out, completing the entire sale within 30 days.
In 2023, Cory facilitated the record-breaking off-market sale of Unit 1102 at The Edition West Hollywood. As the former president of New Development for Douglas Elliman, he worked closely with the development team on this luxury high-rise from initial design through completion. Unit 1102 was initially purchased by an investor who had planned to lease it out. However, a principal contacted Cory's team about a short-term lease-to-purchase for their child who was starting law school in Los Angeles. Cory negotiated terms to meet the buyer's needs, as they required a safe residence for their child while preparing to sell another property in a 1031 exchange. Throughout the process, Cory worked closely with the Edition's concierge team to ensure a smooth move-in experience for the new owner.

After selling a long-time California resident's home in the Pacific Palisades for over $21,000,000 for their relocation to Nashville, they were "homesick" and wanted the perfect pied-à-terre. This was Cory's 10th transaction with this well-known local family, As Cory knew the type of service the family would require. In identifying The Wilshire as one of the finest buildings on the corridor with exacting service, he negotiated a 15% discount on the listing price due to his relationship with another Douglas Elliman agent. Cory and his team coordinated the client's need for a contractor and interior designer for the minor updates and helped manage the process while the clients were in Nashville. The finished product is to be published, and the clients are happy with their piece of the California lifestyle.
