I was able to find another job, our closing date didn’t change, and she seemed like my biggest fan (besides my husband). She helped us buy our first house! We couldn’t have done it without her, and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. read less

While we came out to look at houses, based on what we saw on Zillow, of course nothing beats actually being there. Kori was patient in showing us around, and sent us listings, and when this house randomly came up, Kori was on it immediately. She was instrumental in negotiating key points in our favor, and was very helpful in the whole process. Communications were clear and immediate. We'd not only use her and Venturi again, but highly recommend them to anyone else. Thank you Kori! read less

Kori was that person for us and we are grateful for her endless supply of moxie. We toured several homes within the hour they were listed and Kori was always quick to jump on showings. We eventually found our house and she assisted us through the entire closing process. She's chipper, easy to work with, and we happily recommend her. read less

She was super professional, very responsive and I will one thousand percent ask her to help us buy a home in the future. When she did the open house, which was organized very very fast, more than 200 people came on the first day. She got us so many offers on our house, we felt bad turning them away for the right one. Kori was very good at answering our calls if we had any questions and was very good at calling us for questions or just to let us know what was going on with the buy/sell process. Never let us go more than a few days without an update. This was the first home I sold and she made the selling precess very painless and stress free. Thank you so much Kori!! read less

Kori popped up as a recommended realtor on Zillow. Let me tell you, I’m so glad we connected! She is so easy to have a genuine connection with. Kori is fun and energetic and is able to quickly solve any problems or issues that arise during the “buying” process. We toured many homes before finding the perfect home for me to envision a future. Kori really cared about how I felt and what my opinions were and she was also able to give her insights and opinions on properties that really helped me throughout the entire process. I truly enjoyed working with Kori and I will definitely recommend her to family and friends when they are in need of a realtor! I will also be using her again when I want to sell or purchase again! read less

She was direct, honest, and most of all respectful of what we were looking for. She described everything in detail. Most of all. . . She told me to do my research on the agent I wanted to work with even if it wasn't her. She never pressured us, or tried to change our point of view or our priorities. It's hard for me to trust people. So if you need someone to help you. I highly recommend her. She's worth the investment and trust.
Thank you, Kori.

She helped to guide us through a very challenging home search, in a difficult market with a lot of competition for very little inventory. She was knowledgeable about the process, and willing to guide us as first-time homebuyers, while still being receptive to our needs and wants. Aside from being a highly effective agent, Kori is a lot of fun, and brought her personality and sense of adventure to the table. We felt like she was personally invested in our buying process, and genuinely happy for us when we finally got an offer accepted on a great place. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a house! read less

Kori is extremely knowledgable about the local Los Lunas area. She articulated herself in a clear and concise way that was easy to understand. She is gifted in the area of compassion, and professionalism, and has an amazing ability to listen to exactly what is needed and wanted in a home. She then executes those desires with homes that are available. I loved the fact that when I explained to her what I wanted, she found a home with EVERYTHING I wanted even though the property was not on the market. If you are in the market to purchase a home, I highly recommend Kori Gilkey! I promise you will not be disappointed! Give her a call!!!!! read less

It is such a treat! Kori is not only an awesome realtor, but she's also a great human. I am a first time home owner who had ZERO clue on how to go about any of it. And was also doing this remotely. I bought my condo sight-unseen from a different time zone 8 hours away. Kori was kind enough to hold my hand through the process and answer every not-so-smart question I came up with while empowering me through the process. She negotiated a good deal and dealt with the seller like a champ. I frankly would not have done this if it wasn't for the trust I had in Kori. You can tell she's honestly invested in finding the perfect home FOR YOU and not a commission. She cares and it shows. Talk to Kori and let her find you your own very special home 🙂 read less

We were not all even in the same state until closing day, and she kept everyone informed and handled all the documents as needed. She was easy to reach, and answered questions quickly.

Since the beginning, Kori clicked with my wife and I. The first day after meeting her, we couldnt stop talking about how we couldnt have found a better realtor. We started working with Kori in March and since day one Kori worked hard for us. We made many offers on multiple houses and she did them all with a smile and positive attitude. If we found a house we wanted to see Kori would make an appointment so we could see it that same day so we didnt miss out. Finally we found our home in May and closed today 6/7!!! My wife and I have truly found a friend in Kori and I hope our relationship can continue beyond closing.. Thank you so much Kori for investing your time in us! You got us into a beautiful home, and we couldnt be any happier!! Guys Kori is the absolute best at what she does, trust us. she will get you in your dream home!!

Kori met me at the house and I mentioned a couple of things that I did not love about the house and her response was "wait, if this isn't 100% the house you want, we need to find you a different home." Basically she encouraged us to look further, meaning she created more work for herself rather than take an easy sell. She found 5 houses for us to look at within 24 hours and three of them blew the original house we were going to purchase out of the water. Kori was always on time, answered every email and text promptly, and has a great sense of humor. Love the house we purchased and would highly recommend her to anyone. read less
