We were new to the Illinois home buying experience and requested a tour of a home through Zillow. We were matched with Cory and were so fortunate. Cory met us at our first viewing and quickly became a trusted source. He learned of our interests quickly and was always very responsive to our needs. He's a great communicator, which was key for us. He was patient with us but willing to provide the appropriate guidance and suggestions. He helped us through the purchase process, providing advice but letting us drive the decisions, and referred us to exceptional professionals (attorney, inspector, etc) along the way. We give cory our highest recommendation!

Cory was a wonderful partner in the search for our first home.
He worked with us for over a year - he was patient and flexible while we figured out what we truly wanted (or needed at this stage in our lives, and didn't even know we needed).
Cory was responsive, quick-acting, and motivated - when we finally found "the" house - we were under contract in just a few hours due to Cory's efforts.
He shared his wealth of knowledge on the North Shore market, and on historic homes, putting us in touch with all the right specialists, giving the appropriate recommendations, and holding our hands through the entire process.

If you're looking for a home in the northern suburbs of Chicago, Cory is your man. My fiance and I had never owned a home and were totally new to the whole process. Cory was patient with us and gave us insight into each home we saw that went above and beyond what was listed (the build quality, the appliances, the different maintenance concerns). He clearly knows his stuff. He is also well connected with lenders, inspectors, real estate attorneys, and other realtors and able to provide resources for each. He was also very reliable and would respond to our messages very quickly. We found an amazing home and I'm 100% confident it is because of Cory.

Buying a home while living in another state is always challenging, and doing so over the holidays is even more daunting. We could only have achieved it with Cory's knowledge of the North Shore area and dedication to our family. Cory's professionalism and experience were invaluable to us as we relied on him during this critical move across the country. We highly recommend Cory Green's team to anyone in the market.

Cory was our agent for buying our new home and selling our prior home. He did an excellent job with both transactions, whether it was in determining what amount to offer or list at, other contract provisions, or helping us navigate inspection and attorney review. He is very easy to work with but can also advocate aggressively on your behalf. We were under contract within 2 days of listing our prior house which was fantastic.

Cory and his team were amazing in helping us buy our first home! The process was very smooth, quick, and efficient. Cory was very responsive at any given time and took the time to explain certain questions. As first time home buyers we appreciated the team's guidance, reminders, and support. Would absolutely recommend anyone trying to find someone to rely on in the area!

If I could provide a 5+ star review I would! Cory is extremely knowledgeable and patient. He seeks to understand what his clients are looking for, even if they do not know yet. He is there for the entire process. Having a strong background in structural engineering, he brings a keen sense of the possibilities to a space. I am grateful for our serendipitous meeting. I know that we get to continue our journey in our new home, with the knowledge and comfort that Cory is available to share is vast network of resources and experiences to help guide and inform us. I wouldn't hesitate to refer by family and friends to Cory. Thank you for all you have done to help us thus far.

Cory was very helpful, it took us a while to find the home that fit our needs and he accommodated last minute tour requests and lots of changes in plans. He is very familiar with the North Shore area we were looking in, very resourceful, friendly, and gave us great advice along the way. We are starting on exciting house projects and are very happy with how this all worked out ! Thank you, Cory !!

We found Cory through no recommendations, and were fortunate to stumble upon him. He has a wealth of knowledge beyond just the basic experience needed in the real estate market. Cory and his team go the extra mile to ensure your experience is custom, personal and Cory is always available to answer any questions as they come up. Cory has the right balance of applying pressure when needed, but also listening to his clients needs and respecting our wishes. He is speedy, efficient , and my first point of contact for all things home. With Cory’s help we sold for above asking and bought for below.. We have made some discoveries after buying that were beyond what the inspection revealed which have been disappointing but we couldn’t be happier with our new home and neighborhood. Go with Cory and he will take care of your home as if it was his own !

We recently bought our forever, dream home with Cory. It was a whirlwind, with less than 24 hours between the showing request, showing and accepted offer. Cory helped us put in an attractive offer within our comfortable budget constraints, and was incredibly helpful throughout the contracting and closing process. We are very grateful for his help, and thrilled that we were able to land in the place we'll call home for the rest of our lives.

I would highly encourage anyone to ask Cory to be their realtor.
As first-time home buyers, he was not just patient and responsive to our many questions, but he provided guidance and instilled confidence in the process. The home we purchased had a complex ownership system, and Cory was able to navigate the many unforeseen issues that arose along the way. He stayed with us from start to close. He also had very good recommendations for other professional services. Five stars.

This was our first time buying a home. Needless to say we found ourselves in good hands. We used the VA loan and it was great to have Cory not only knowledgeable in that process but supporting us in our small window of opportunity. We looked at several houses and he was always truthful and honest. His inspectors did an amazing job as well. We found something that fit our budget and met almost all our needs. We did not need to renew our apartment lease and closed in the nick of time. I’ll be the first to admit I was always concerned as many have heard horror stories about realtors. In hindsight I don’t think we could have found a better person than Cory and his team. My family and I couldn’t be happier and will be recommending him to others and using him when we look to buy another property.

I had an excellent experience, searching for a new home in IL with Cory Green, Compass Realty. We were doing the search long distance, from another state. Cory provided us with an app, that catered to our needs in search, offered to go in person to the homes, we couldn't, and set up excellent appointments for the final picks. As a result we were able to find our home on the first weekend, that we traveled to IL, which was a tremendous time and money saving in itself!
Cory also works with and introduced us to the efficient team of other industry professionals, that helped to make our overall home purchasing fast and relatively easy as well.
Highly recommend!

This will be the 7th home that my wife and I have bought in the past 40+ years of marriage and, without a doubt, we both agree that Cory is the best real estate agent we have worked with. He is the epitome of professionalism and knowledgeable about all facets pertaining to the buying and selling of homes. We are extremely confident of Cory’s level of expertise and wholeheartedly recommend him as he is attentive and respectful of all our buying and selling expectations.

We worked with Cory Green to sell our place in the city and buy a new place in Kenilworth. Both transactions went smoothly and very quickly. Cory was very responsive and quick with all of his actions. If I said that I had a question about a pool at the house that we are looking to buy, within an hour, he would have already gotten in touch with the company that services the pool. Overall, he was the quickest and most professional real estate agent that we have dealt with over the years. He was also very honest during our house search. I never got a feeling that he was trying to convince us to buy a house that we had doubts about. Overall, great experience.

Working with Cory was truly a first class experience from start to finish - from helping our family identify the right neighborhood for us, navigating turn key vs. heavy renovation options, and identifying resources to help us turn the home we found into our dream home, Cory was with us every step of the way. Working with Cory was, hand-down our best real estate purchase experience and we will be recommending him to any of our friends looking to purchase in the area.

My husband and I recently bought a home in Lake Bluff with Cory. Cory helped us navigate our move from the city, and guided us through an effective negotiation for the purchase of our home. The thing that set Cory apart for me was that he was by far the most “full service” realtor we have ever worked with, and actively supported our transaction every single step of the way: from researching issues that came up in inspection to offering to meet contractors after closing because we hadn’t moved in yet. I would emphatically recommend him to anyone purchasing on the north shore.

We had been working with another agent/company while trying to find a house in a very competitive market and we were unable to get anywhere. My husband found Cory and we were able to get the house of our dreams in a great location and at a competitive price. Cory knows the Chicago North Shore market very well and has important relationships with other agents which enabled us to negotiate on a house we thought was out of our reach. Thanks to Cory's persistence we not only sold our house at a good price but he leveraged his contacts to ensure we didn't compromise on our purchase. Thank you Cory!

My wife and I met Cory at an open house in Lake Forest when we were exploring areas to move outside of the city. Cory was very personable and knowledgeable about Lake Forest and the surrounding areas. We used Cory to buy our home in Lake Forest and again to sell our condo in the city. The process couldn’t have been easier thanks to Cory. I highly recommend him for anyone seeking a home on the North Shore.

My husband and I purchased a home during the pandemic - something we would have never dreamt of doing remotely. However, the process was fluid thanks to Cory Green who went above and beyond by doing a FaceTime walk-through with the seller. Low and behold, our offer was accepted prior to the seller's open house because of Cory's stellar negotiation skills. I would also like to mention he has great referrals to attorneys and inspection companies. Oh, I almost forgot, he resolved all of our last-minute issues that the seller presented prior to closing.

We had very specific requirements regarding what kind of home we needed, including which direction our house was facing. Cory took all of our needs into consideration, even previewing homes for us to ensure it was a good fit for our family. He took the time make sure that he explained every single aspect of the home buying process to us, even though we were already somewhat familiar with it, all in an effort to ensure that we understood all of our options and the timing of everything. He also did a full comparative market analyses for us on the homes we were interested in pursuing to ensure that we fully understood the pricing approach. It wasn’t a easy process by any means with putting in offers on multiple different homes and tough negotiations, but Cory was by our side the entire time to ensure we were comfortable with everything and he saw everything through to the end. We are very much looking forward to using him in any future home deals that we might have!

Cory was beyond helpful from the very first day that we met him. We looked at many homes with him and he always provided comprehensive feedback in terms of comparing the homes in a side by side fashion and pointing out the positives and negatives of each. He was very knowledgeable about the area, providing feedback on things such as local market stats and contractors that could help us with work that we needed done once we moved in. He was super responsive at all times of the day/night which was important to us. He guided us in the right direction every step of the way to ensure that we found the right house for our family and purchased it at the right price when he was negotiating on our behalf. He also followed up with us after closing to make sure things were going well and to see if we needed anything. We would without a doubt use Cory in the future and will of course recommend him to our family and friends.

Cory went above and beyond handling not only all aspects of the home inspection, reinspection and closing while we were out of state, but made sure we we’re maximizing our negotiating position throughout the entire process.

His attributes were needed to walk me through the process. I asked Cory a few times to guide me and he did. His service, I felt benefited both parties respectfully. His responds time was impeccable, responses were thoughtful, and he was diligent in closing to deal before the holidays.

I will use him in the future and recommend his services to friends and family.

When I first met Cory at an open house walkthrough, I was determined to find and buy a home on my own without the use of a “pushy realtor”. However, Cory’s easygoing personality and knowledge of the market and resources made me realize that having an ally in my corner in this process might not be such a bad idea. And an ally he was, from start to finish, going above and beyond to help me arrange extra walk throughs, negotiating prices, and giving me advice on reno costs and reliable companies in the area. At the inspection, Cory made it a point to stay for the entire appointment, making sure I was getting exactly what I wanted in a safe home for me and my son. Although there were some frustrations in our negotiations, Cory was calm, confident, and helpful, reassuring me every step of the way. I am so grateful to have stumbled upon Cory at that open house walkthrough, because the process would have been daunting on my own. Cory altogether changed my perspective on realtors. He is kind and genuine, even donating a portion of our closing costs to a local charity. From start to finish, Cory made buying a home easy and enjoyable. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking to buy a home in the area.
