We Would Never Dream of Using Anyone Else
" As first time home buyers, we were anxious about all aspects of the transaction. It seemed like such a big step, and all the numbers were so huge, particularly in the Bay Area housing market. Corrie was an amazing, calming presence. Part real estate expert, part financial counselor, part life-coach, and even part marriage counselor, she talked us through every aspect, listened to our concerns and put them to rest for us. Buying a home is an exciting, wonderful experience but it is also stressful. It comes with a dizzying array of new experiences: pest inspections, appraisals, first, second, and even third mortgages, closing costs, points, and on and on. Then there's the art of sorting out the Stanford programs. Corrie was our oasis of calm in that process. She is a consummate professional. We would never dream of using anyone else.
M.D. & K.D, Palo Alto " Corrie Knows How to Listen
" Corrie knew exactly what we were looking for, because she knows how to listen. She helped us find our first house within days. We loved the house from the first moment we walked in it. When our family grew, and it was time to move, Corrie helped us make our house even more beautiful. It sold within a week very quickly. She also helped us find our next house which we also love. -L.K. & T.C., Mt. View and Stanford " My Investment Has Performed Wonderfully
" I relocated from Chicago, Illinois after becoming divorced and bought a condo ON MY OWN for the first time. I looked at my condo on New Year's Eve day. Even though it was a holiday, Corrie met with me immediately and drew up the offer. Because of her responsiveness, I was able to buy a condo in prestigious Palo Alto at a very good price. Without her help, this opportunity would have passed me by.
She continued to help and support me through the whole process. I made a great deal and my investment has performed wonderfully.
--J.I., Palo Alto " Master Guide and Advisor
" It is such a pleasure to recommend Corrie Reynolds to you with the highest accolades and appreciation.
I couldn't have been more well taken care of, supported and sustained in every respect. Corrie is a master guide and advisor during the staging, selling and closing in on a buyer process. She was fabulous in her strength and ability to work with all the different agents, prospective buyers, and inspectors along the way.
If there is anything that I can add to this recommendation to help you know just how exceptional Corrie Reynolds is as a real estate agent, I would be entirely happy to do so. I am deeply thankful to Corrie for the tremendous work performed in my behalf.

" Willing to Go the Extra Mile with a Smile
" The kind of dedication and hard work Corrie Reynolds provided us with was critical to making a sale during the very soft market we were in when we listed our house. Corrie always made herself available when we needed her and was willing to go that extra mile with a good attitude and a smile. It was a pleasure doing business with such a responsive, positive person.
W.T. & H.T., Palo Alto " Her Efforts on Our Behalf Made Such a Positive Difference
" Corrie Reynolds represented our family in the recent sale of our house on Stanford campus, and her efforts on our behalf made such a positive difference in our sale that I want to urge you to do the same.
Corrie possesses a rare combination of warm interpersonal skills and sharp business sense. At every step of the process, these two traits came into play. When we retained Corrie, we already had opened escrow on another, larger, more expensive house, so we were very eager to move our house quickly and for the best possible price. Her advise was invaluable and often not what we would have done on our own. In particular, she approached the staging of our house in a manner that I have described to friends as "ruthless," and she was absolutely right. She was very sensitive to expense, and with minimal cost transformed our house from the cluttered home of a family of 8 to a contemporary showplace. Neighbors and friends who attended our open house were astonished. That effort combined with a marketing blitz resulted in standing-room-only attendance at open houses.
At the open house Corrie's warmth and engaging personality made the event a success. We had been on the market several years ourselves looking for a house and have attended innumerable open houses. Most often visitors are greeted pleasantly and then ignored and left to wander, the agent being available for questions. Alternatively, agents perform seemingly scripted tours, without any regard for what the buyer wants. Here is where Corrie made a huge difference for our sale. I popped in a couple of times during the open house and witnessed Corrie's ease and facility with people and her genuine enthusiasm for our house, as well as her enjoyment of the open house process. Following the open house, Corrie immediately reported back to us and had many questions for us that were generated by her conversations with visitors, confirming our view that she had taken each visitor seriously and had a handle on what they were looking for. For a couple nervous about our sale, we greatly appreciated her constant communication back to us, which was evident throughout this process.
This house was the only house we ever sold in this area. One lesson we learned through this process is to choose an agent who is respected by his/her contemporaries in the real estate agent population. Corrie is among the most highly regarded. While we focused on keeping our house clean for the "pop tour," Corrie constantly worked the phones on our behalf. The result of all of her efforts was multiple offers, all but one above asking price. When offers were presented, Corrie was very cordial yet direct. Every step she took along the way had put us in a position of being in the driver's seat when it came to closing the deal. We negotiated from a position of strength. She had our goals clearly in mind and negotiated for us exactly what we wanted at a higher price than we had expected.
Corrie knows what she's doing. Now, a year after our sale, we are extremely pleased that we enlisted her help.
M.J.S. , Stanford " Corrie Was Patient and Encouraging
" We must have looked at 50 houses. Through it all, Corrie was patient and encouraging. She reassured us that when we found the right one, we would know it.
When she called with "our house", she told us to take a look. I called back and said, "No way…not that one; I don't even need to go inside." Corrie reminded us that she knew what we liked and assured us that once we went inside, we would be sold.
She was right; it is still "our house" more than six years later.
K.K. and A.G., Menlo Park " Solid Understanding of the Market and Kept Things On Track
"Corrie Reynolds helped us find a great house and push the sale through before year-end to meet our tax needs. We felt that she had a solid understanding of the market and kept things on track through her hard work. I have recommended her services to a friend selling a house and will continue to do so with others.
F.B. & M.B. , Redwood City and Menlo Park " Always Available to Meet With Us or Answer Questions
" Corrie Reynolds' familiarity with the local real estate market and her practical, honest advice made the buying process go very smoothly. In addition, she was always available to meet with us or to answer our questions, even after we closed on our house. We look forward to working with her again.
J. & B., Mountain View "
