"We had a great experience working with Cory. This was our 1st time selling a home and Cory was very helpful throughout the entire process. He was very accessible, provided detailed information, and helped us to make the right decisions. Thank you, Cory!"

"We sold two houses with Cory’s help in 2020. We could not be more pleased with his services and those of his staff. We were kept very well informed and always felt that we were in the loop regarding every aspect of our sales. His marketing was absolutely top notch and presented our homes in a very real and positive light. Cory’s advice regarding what was most important to get the properties ready for sale helped us focus our efforts where they would make the most difference on the bottom line. This is an outstanding individual with an excellent firm."

"This is my third time either buying or selling with Cory in the last 5 years and I recommend him without reservation. He is extremely knowledgeable of the local market, buying and selling processes, quick to reply to emails and phone calls,, and is a genuinely nice and caring person. 5 stars all around!"

"You will not find a better realator in the Yakima Valley. We researched before calling Cory. His experience and record indicated he is one of the best realators. After working with him to buy our new home and sell our old home we can say with authority he is extremely knowledgeable and competent. You'll not find any better."

"I couldn't have had a better experience. Cory is fantastic! I've worked with him twice and he has the highest morals, ethics, and customer service. I met with other realtors that greatly overinflated the market. He was thorough, made adjustments as needed, and extremely knowledgeable. If I had listed at a higher price I would have been worse off after dropping the price!"

"I was first weary about contacting an agent to help me find and buy a house because I thought that I could do this myself. Well let me tell you theres so much more to buying a house. I contacted Cory about a house he was listing and he knew so much about it although it didnt work out we stayed in contact and continued to view houses and use his knowledge to better understand the houses we were looking at we eventually found a house and he got us exactly what we wanted out of the deal. I absolutely recommend Cory if you want to buy or sell."

"Cory helped me sell my father's house after he passed. There were a number of challenges to getting the property ready to sell, and Cory handled them all quickly and effectively. He always kept me informed, and he offered great advice. I am very pleased to recommend Cory."

"This is the second time we have worked with Cory Bemis and his staff in buying/selling a property in Yakima. He is always responsive and willing to go the extra mile. If he doesn't have or know the answer, he will find it for you and get back to you promptly.

I would highly recommend working with Cory and his associates when purchasing or selling a property or home."

"Some words to describe Cory and the Bemis group: Most helpful, organized, professional, connected, and strategic realtor group around. And The Best Customer Service I’ve experienced in any industry. Hands down. I recommend them without hesitation."

"Working with Cory and his staff was easy! They were always quick to respond to any and all questions and requests - truly a pleasure. Great communication! Thank you!"

"We cannot say enough good things about Cory. We've had many buying and selling transactions over the years. He is the BEST. He saved our sale by sheer ingenuity and tenacity. He does everything, and does it well! He answers all questions promptly. Problems are met with careful analysis and intelligent, thoughtful options and solutions. He gives frequent updates, really listens to your concerns, but will honestly tell you what he thinks is the best way to go. Will take care of everything if you prefer, or will work in partnership if that's best for you. Always pleasant and encouraging! He knows real estate, and knows it is a serious business. Cory is an organized, dedicated, consummate professional."

"Cory was wonderful from start to finish. He guided us with expertise and knowledge in the selling of our home. He gave very valuable advice along the way from staging and showing to all the details of negotiating the contract. He impressed us with a thorough analysis of comps that helped us feel confident in determining the list price of our home. We really appreciated his responsiveness to all our questions and his attention to all the details. We couldn't have been more happy. Selling a home can be very stressful and exhausting at times, but Cory remained calm and professional throughout the whole process."

"Working with The Bemis Group during our home-buying journey was a wonderful experience. Cory and his team answered all of our questions, were professional, communicative, and timely. Highly recommend!"

"We have worked with Cory for over 10 years. He is very professional and works for your best interest. We have bought and sold homes through him. We are going to continue to work with him in our real estate business."

"Thanks to Cory and his team for helping us find a wonderful home. He helped make the process easy in signing us up for auto-notifications when houses that matched our preferences came on the market. Was very responsive in making sure we knew any times he would be unavailable and who to contact in his absence. We felt he was very honest in his feedback and up front about any issues he may have seen. Highly recommend him!"

"Cory was very easy to work with on the sale of two houses that were part of a probate administration. I live outside of the area and so I was unable to be "On the ground." Cory worked with me as far as the logistical challenges this presented and did a great job helping me get these properties sold quickly and for better-than-expected prices."

"Cory was amazing! He was readily available whenever we had any questions. We had an offer and closed within a week, and Cory worked hard to make that happen! We will use Cory again and again!"

"Cory Bemis commissioned very professional photographs and suggested a fair listing price. The house sold above asking price in less than 4 days, with a full price cash offer as a backup! Cory has always been very responsive to our phone calls and emails. We are so happy!"

"I had the privilege of working with The Bemis Group on two transactions. I witnessed first-hand, his advice and unwavering support from contract through to closing for our client was truly invaluable. He was polite, available, friendly, knowledgeable and wonderful to work with."

"Cory has always handled our real estate transactions in a helpful and knowledgeable manner. We highly recommend him and his firm."

"Cory Bemis did a great job explaining what was needed in order to get the house ready for listing and checked out the place to be sure it was ready for the sale. He made suggestions which we followed and house sold quickly."

"Cory and his team helped my mom sell her duplex (which was also her home). He walked us through the steps needed to get her home market ready and then patiently walked us through the paperwork to seal the deal! Home had an approved offer in 7 days!"

"Our house selling journey began with selecting three realtor companies to complete a Comparative Market Analysis. We were impressed with the knowledge, skills, and professionalism of Cory Bemis who conducted the third market analysis. He also displayed a positive attitude and excellent people skills. Needless to say, Cory Bemis from John L. Scott Realty Company was selected to sell our home. Cory took us through all of the necessary steps to reach our goal. We had frequent communication with him throughout the process. The listing phase went well and the buyer/seller agreement process went smoothly. The buyer’s appraisal phase was a little involved, but with Cory’s expertise, we progressed through it as we followed his recommendations to make the necessary corrections to our home and property. We reached the escrow stage which meant our journey was at an end except for finalizing the packing, cleaning, and moving out of the house. I can honestly say that it was a blessing to have an exceptional realtor like Cory Bemis to guide and direct us through our journey. Thanks Cory!"

"If you had to choose one person to represent Yakima, Cory is your guy! My family and I recently moved from CA and were so grateful to be introduced to Cory. Not only did he handle our situations well with the whole moving process but he educated us about Yakima and made sure to give us insight about weather conditions and what to expect. He also introduced us to some of the local business and baseball games that made our move quite memorable. We are so thankful for him!"

"Cory Bemis is a GREAT realtor. He has represented us, both in buying a house, and selling another. Both transactions were complicated, but Cory patiently stuck with us on every detail. He never left us hanging and wondering what was happening. He’s not the kind of realtor who just wants your listing and then waits for someone else to do the work. He is candid and will give you an honest and well thought out analysis, and options for how to proceed. He found an economical solution for a tangled insurance problem, and worked with us through needed repairs, both when we were selling our house, and when we were buying another. I didn't expect that kind of service, but he stepped in without hesitation, always pleasant and upbeat. He can be a hard bargainer, and can also be persistent, and will dig deeper for answers on your behalf. But he does it with thoughtful consideration, and his communications are very effective. He stays on top of the market, is knowledgeable and experienced, and takes his profession seriously. He really understands that for most people, property is a major asset, and he also knows that often, it is emotionally significant, too. We have only superlatives to say about his work for us!"

"Cory was very thorough, answered all of our questions, and was very professional throughout the transaction. He had a team behind him providing quality, timely support as well. I would highly recommend him to any buyer! Brent Elkins"

"I highly recommend Cory for your realtor. He figured out where my place was on the market and then proceeded to get it sold. Cory gave me weekly updates and advice about any concerns I might have. I was never left to feel that my property was being neglected. I think doing the calculations to price my place fairly helped in getting it sold without it lingering on the market month after month. With that in mind I got more money out of it than I dreamed I would when the sale was complete. Cory is professional, honest, and very personable. I’m one happy seller!!"

"We’ve used Cory multiple times for purchasing and selling homes and will continue to choose him for all our real estate needs in the future. He’s easy to work with and knows the industry better than anyone!"

"I have completed three real estate transactions with Cory. In each of these transactions, whether buying or selling, Cory demonstrated extraordinary skill and knowledge; and brought patience and listening skills to our interactions in order to help us find the right home, and get the right price when we later sold. Throughout my time attending open houses, realtors hosting those events complimented Cory's skill and identified him as a realtor who is highly respected in the Yakima real estate community. I didn't need that feedback from the other realtors to know Cory was the right realtor for me, but those comments underscored the fact that Cory is a knowledgeable, talented, and respected realtor. I cannot recommend him strongly enough. His skill and guidance through our real estate transactions have improved the future outlook for my family. We're eternally grateful for him."

"We were impressed with the professionalism and knowledge of Cory Bemis. He kept us well informed and supported all the way through the sale of our home. It was the smoothest home sale we've ever experienced."
