Build Your Wealth Through Real Estate

Selling a property can be stressful, but Rory made it much easier. He was friendly, professional, and always available when we needed him. We felt well looked after throughout the process and are very happy with the outcome.

I had a great experience working with Rory and the team at Cornelius Estates. I originally connected with him to get some guidance on a multifamily property, and it was immediately clear he really understands that space. He broke down the numbers, expenses, and overall investment strategy in a way that actually made sense and wasn’t just surface-level like you get from a lot of agents. What stood out to me was that he wasn’t just trying to “sell” anything—he was focused on making sure the deal made sense from an investment standpoint. That’s pretty rare. On top of that, he also helped me with my personal home, and the level of attention and communication was just as strong. Whether it was running comps, walking through options, or just being available to answer questions, he was always on it. If you’re looking for someone who really understands multifamily but can also handle residential at a high level, I’d definitely recommend Cornelius Estates.

Working with Rory to buy our first home was one of the best decisions we have ever made! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience working with him. He is an exceptional agent who is knowledgeable, responsive, and patient. He always took the time to explain things clearly and make sure we felt confident in every decision. He truly had our best interests in mind and went above and beyond to make the home buying process a lot less stressful. He handled our negotiations like a champion and was able to get us seller credits through effective communication and attention to the goals of each party. We felt very cared for during the whole process and we’re incredibly grateful for his help. We would 100% recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

I truly cannot recommend working with Rory enough. From start to finish, he made the entire buying process incredibly easy and stress-free. He is an excellent communicator, extremely knowledgeable, and always made sure we felt informed and confident every step of the way. His recommendations were spot-on, and thanks to his expertise, we couldn’t be happier with the final results. He helped us secure seller credits and even took the extra step of connecting us with trusted contractors to handle the work that needed to be done. What really set him apart, though, was the personal touch he brought to the experience. If you’re looking for a realtor who genuinely cares and consistently goes the extra mile, Rory is the one.

I worked with Cornelius Estates to sell one of my multifamily investment properties in San Diego, and I couldn’t recommend him enough. From day one they approached the deal like a true professional investor—he understood the numbers, the market dynamics, and how to position the property to attract qualified buyers. Rory ran a thorough valuation analysis, marketed the property strategically, and negotiated a clean deal that maximized my return while keeping the process smooth and efficient. What really impressed me was his understanding of investment strategy—he even helped me explore 1031 exchange options to roll my equity into the next deal. If you’re an investor looking for someone who actually understands cash flow, cap rates, and exit strategies—not just typical agents—Cornelius Estates is a solid choice for serious investors in the San Diego market.

Three days after asking Rory to show the rental house we wanted to sell, Rory got an offer just short of our target price. He negotiated a counter offer resulting in full price offer with a two week escrow! Ten days earlier we asked one of those “We buy as is for cash” companies for an offer. It was almost $300,000 below the price Rory got for us. Our five star review is fully deserved.
