After a good experience with Corey in 2018, purchasing my first home, contacting him to purchase my second & sell my first (in that order) was the most disappointing experience.

His communication was spotty at best. I asked for viewings on Thursday or Friday & heard nothing from him until late Friday, saying he was ill. I ask him to arrange showings for Monday morning if possible. I do not hear from him.

Sunday my son has a seizure. He is transported to Regina by ambulance at 10:30 at night.

I emailed Corey.

I heard nothing.

I emailed him again.

He finally replied & asked that we get pre approved before moving forward as well as for the end of March, as we no longer had time to get things sorted officially before my co-owner left for a cruise.

The market here is hot. Things are moving quickly. We have enough cash reserves to pay off the mortgage on my first house & buy the new one, though we would likely be wanting a mortgage.

Keep in mind, my 6 year old son is in hospital, with unexplained seizures, over 150km from home. I have done everything I can to be courteous & considerate of Corey’s time, given the circumstances, including emailing him from the ambulance to cancel showings the next day that I don’t believe he ever booked.

Not once in the two emails he sent after that did he say he was sorry to hear about my son or that he hoped he got better soon. Call my old fashioned, but if someone tells me their small child is seriously ill, I’m going to ask how they are doing & send my best wishes for their health.

Financially, this was at least one guaranteed commission on the purchase of a new home. Even if he didn’t want to list my first home, which we planned to have a major clean, as well as minor repairs & paint done prior to listing, & our budget had nearly doubled.

I thought at the very least I’d hear back him at the end of March, when my co-owner was back in the country.

I never have & have never been so disappointed after an initially positive experience.

Corey handled the sale of my parents' home of over 40 years during a difficult milestone we were facing. Not knowing how long the property might be on the market, we were thrilled to have it listed and sold in less than a month! He knew the value, the market and immediately had a client in mind, making the process easy. He walked us through each step and got us close to asking price. Thank you for all your help! If you need someone who can move quickly and efficiently, call Corey.

Corey Werner at Core real estate is a pleasure to deal with, he is always attentive and willing to meet. He is always working hard trying to the right property that would fit my needs. I would highly recommend working with Core real estate.

It is shameful that this agency states on its website that it provides its clients with the highest level of business standard, serving you with knowledge, professionalism, trust, integrity and skill. Their CEO, Corey Werner failed at all of these claims. I question how you can then lead a team? We have a property in Yorkton that needs to be sold. I spoke with Corey who agreed to provide a fair market value in an acceptable amount of time. I followed up when I had not received it in that time frame. He told me he needed more time to get it done. He misled me to believe that he was trustworthy, professional and had integrity. It has been weeks and I have not heard back from him.........

We have had a very disappointing experience. We required an appraisal and were told it would be done the following week. Our initial call was on June 22nd. Three weeks later, we have nothing and Corey has not been returning our calls. We have wasted three weeks and are going with a different firm. We would not recommend this company.

I chose Core Real Estate because of their amazing reputation and the fact that they are heavily involved with community events and programs. I was looking for a home on a specific street in Yorkton for over 6 months. Core Real Estate was amazing, they door knocked several homes in the area that I wanted to live, and eventually found me the house I wanted. Furthermore, the buying process was smooth and effortless. I couldn't be happier with my choice in real estate agents. Thank you Corey Werner and team.

Can't say enough good things about Core. From the moment I walked in, Kim at the front desk was so friendly and helpful that I immediately knew I was in good hands. They take the time to get to know you and understand just what it is that you need. Not to mention, their boutique is a beautiful space!

This was my second time selling a house with Corey and again it was a quick easy transaction. Highly recommended.
