Central Coast Real Estate and Home Loans

We had an awesome and stress-free experience working with Home Again Real Estate. The owner, Cory Mason, was professional yet very personal at the same time. He listened to what we wanted and made every effort to find us a great ocean view condo and to secure the best financing. He showed us one condo in the Spy Glass Ridge community that we loved but the floor plan was not quite what we wanted. We loved the area, so Cory strategically sent out letters to everyone in the community to see if they were interested in selling. Several people responded and Cory was able to negotiate a deal with one of the homeowners. The condo we purchased has a great floor plan and an unobstructed view of the ocean!!!! Although there were some unusual things that unfolded with their real estate agent they decided to hire, Cory’s experience in real estate navigated the issues and the deal was finalized in our favor. We highly recommend Cory to our friends and family and anyone wanting an effortless process in buying or selling real estate. We are looking forward to using him in the future!

Five stars for Cory Mason! He is professional, highly experienced, and incredibly knowledgeable. He guided us through every step of selling our house, offering great advice from his years of success in the industry. He was always responsive to our questions and requests for help, which gave us immense peace of mind. Best of all, his kind and understanding nature turned a stressful situation into an incredibly easy process. Thank you again, Cory Mason!

“We are Danny and Ann, and we are delighted to share a few words about our experience working with Cory Mason with Home Again. Our daughter Celeste, all the way from North Carolina, insisted we connect with Cory to help sell our beach house in Pismo —a wonderful three-story property topped off with a fourth-story ocean view deck.

Now, let’s just say this adventure had all the classic ingredients: a tight moving schedule set in stone months ahead, a need for some good old-fashioned decluttering, and the challenge of navigating four stories of stairs with a hand truck in tow. If that sounds like a fun puzzle, well, Cory was the perfect solver.

Cory’s patience and planning were a godsend. He helped us map out a schedule that fit our needs perfectly and made sure the whole process went off without a hitch. He even turned the stair-climbing and decluttering into a smooth operation, helping us get items out the door, onto Craigslist, or donated without us breaking a sweat (well, maybe just a little sweat, but Cory handled the heavy lifting!).

When it came to the actual sale, we had already moved across the country. Cory handled everything digitally with a level of communication that felt like he was right there with us. He guided us through e-signing and all those modern platforms, and honestly, he made it feel as simple as sending a text. Plus, Cory kept in touch multiple times each week and even hosted open houses every weekend and the 4th of July until the home sold—in just 32 days!

In short, if you need someone who mixes a forward-thinking approach with a respect for tried-and-true methods, Cory is your person. We wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking to sell their home with minimal fuss and maximum care.”

After visiting the Central Coast for over 20 years and paying for hotels, we decided to purchase our first home.  It was July 2015, we were visiting family and mentioned it was time to have a home in the Central Coast.   

It just so happened that Cory was hosting an open house right across the street. Upon meeting Cory, it was evident we had met a true professional.  We made an offer before the day was over and soon, we had our first home in the area.  

We’ve kept in touch with Cory over the years and due to our growing family with grandchildren, it was now time to look for a bigger home.   We did not hesitate deciding on who was going to help in our search and immediately contacted Cory.  

From the moment we met Cory it was obvious that he is a true professional and, more importantly, honest, caring and very patient.  It was an adventure looking at various properties, but Cory maintained that we would find the “perfect fit”.  He was absolutely correct and a home we had visited a while back hadn’t sold and was about to come back on the market.   Cory immediately made a call to the selling agent, we got an offer in, and now we own our second Central Coast home.  

Additionally, upon closing, Cory also provided contact information (and called) potential contractors, landscapers, electricians and architects to get us started on our new home renovation.   Cory is more than just our Realtor, he’s someone that has become a good friend.

This was the second time I’ve used Cory Mason and Home Again Real Estate. The first time being when I purchased the Bradley Road Foreclosure property…and now to sell it. Cory came and looked at the house prior to the sale to make suggestions on what I should do to get top dollar for my house.  Cory gave me a detailed list of things I needed to do. Once I was ready to list the house, Cory went to work. 

Cory did a lot of research work. While doing this he found a signed permit for the front garage that added 400 Sq Ft of living space to the house that I was not aware of!   Cory came in and did an extensive photo shoot of the house and put together a great listing. The listing was so good that the house was pretty much sold before the buyers even saw the house. The buyers came the first day it was on the market, it sold that day!

Cory kept me aware of everything that was going on. He made sure I fully understood the process. During the Escrow, the buyer had a situation come up that could have killed the deal, but Cory worked with the buyers Broker and lender to make sure the deal stayed on track! 

Cory has a wealth of knowledge in the industry with properties and the finance side of the industry. It was Cory’s knowledge of finance options that saved this sale AND THE SALES PRICE WAS SIGNIFICANTLY OVER ASKING!!

I highly recommend Cory Mason and Home Again to anyone that wants the best experience in their real estate needs.

When we decided to buy a new home, we selected Home Again as we have used Cory in the past and have been very satisfied. This time our criteria was a little trickier as the area we were searching for a home in was only an area of a few blocks.

Cory had a creative approach to finding our home.  He asked us to drive around and select what houses would be suitable, so we made a list of 28 properties. Cory sent fliers, went door to door and made phone calls. Within two weeks of Cory working his program, we were under contract buying one of our pre-selected homes…which was shocking to us!

Given that this property was an off-market deal, it was a relief to not have to worry about outside competing offers.  Additionally, the seller saved time and money because he did not have to prep the house or pay for the listing agent commission.  It was a win for everyone involved!

This is our 3rd purchase with Cory and for these types of reasons, we will continue to go to Cory for any and all of our future home buying!  We cannot say enough good things about him.  He is always on top of things, very professional, and a delight to work with!  Highly, highly recommend!

We are new to the United States. We chose to move to Central California and were recommended to Cory Mason. Being from out of country we were very skeptical at the typical ra ra you usually get from realtors. That was not the case with Cory and we soon found him to be very personable and genuine. He went above and beyond to make our experience comfortable. Not only was he knowledgeable in the areas he showed us, he also knew about finance and the school districts. If there was a question he didn’t know the answer to, he would find out and let us know the next time we spoke. I would, without hesitation ask Cory to be my realtor.

As my wife and I searched for a future home in San Luis Obispo County, it was extremely important that we had a real estate consultant that we could rely on for prompt and honest answers. Cory not only became our go to person for any and all questions, but also became our friend. As the General Manager of the largest hotel in the county, I often am asked for a recommendation when it comes to purchasing a home in this challenging market. Without question, I send them all to Cory Mason.
