There is a saying: “A captain only shows during a storm.” Corinne became my realtor for selling my home just days before the COVID-19 lockdown was issued in CA. The perfect storm, ripping all our plans to pieces. I was already on my way to another state to purchase a new home. Any path forward looked like a minefield. Defeat seemed imminent. Yet Corinne proved to be that captain who can weather such a storm with an onward and upward attitude. Despite daily changes of regulations and endless interference by tyrannical politicians, all our goals are accomplished. It took courage, nerves of steel, and the rare human ability to keep one's spirit high in the face of grand adversity to get through this. Imagine assembling a thousand-piece puzzle in the midst of a hurricane. Corrine can do it - with a friendly smile on her face! If you need a realtor - she is it.

Corinne is easily 11/10 and we highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home. As first time home buyers, we were nervous about the process and our lack of experience. Finding Corinne was a huge relief as she expertly guided us through every step to home ownership. Corinne listened to our uncertain criteria and after just a single day of showings, honed in on exactly what we were looking for. She showed us not only homes like we described, but also neighborhoods and properties we hadn't even considered, but loved. Corinne pushed us to not compromise and it paid off: we found a home that fit not only all of our needs but also our wants while staying within our budget. Throughout the entire process, Corinne was an incredible advocate and expert guide. It was clear that she had our best interests at heart and her advice was always spot on. Her team was also incredible. Like Corinne, they were responsive, extremely knowledgeable, and easy to work with. Thanks to Corinne, we found a home we loved and our offer was accepted. We managed to close on our home in a timely fashion in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic no less. If that isn't an incredible accomplishment, we have no idea what is. Corinne is fantastic. Her team is fantastic. And we could not imagine working with anyone else.

With Corinne Petit’s help, as first-time buyers with typical financing options, we found exactly the house we wanted: It’s big enough (3/2). It’s in the city we love (Berkeley), and we actually got it at a price point we could afford (<$900,000). Corinne is exactly the right solution to the seemingly impossible Bay Area market. She is savvy, smart, personable, and TENACIOUS beyond belief. Before meeting Corinne, we worked with an agent who encouraged us to compromise on either size, price, or location. Fair, given the comps for what we wanted. Nonetheless, Corinne met the challenge head-on. She helped us time the market and be patient. In the meantime, she surfaced possibilities, never once pressured us, helped us write offers, and encouraged us to have faith that it would all work out in the end. Fast-forward 6 months, and we just moved into our dream house. I cannot say enough good things about working with Corrine--from our friendly dynamics to her strategic mindset to her mastery of the endless logistics. She will be your dream team!

It was such a pleasant experience working with Corinne!! As a first-time buyer, I had no clue what I was doing. Corinne took the time to explain the whole process, gave invaluable advice (spotting potential asbestos and HOA issues), suggested a very responsive broker, and helped negotiate a price that I am very happy with. Above all, Corinne was extremely patient as I figured out exactly what I wanted (neighborhoods, # of bedrooms, etc): I can tell she truly wants her clients to end up in a place they love.
