Why Hire Us

Selling a home isn’t just about square footage and sales prices. It’s about letting go of a chapter you’ve written over the years: the hallway where your kids took their first steps, the kitchen where holidays came to life, the backyard where time seemed to slow down. When life calls you into a new season—whether it’s to move up, to downsize, to make a fresh start, or to bid an emotional goodbye—it’s okay to feel overwhelmed. It takes the right team to meet these moments with insight, care, and bold thinking. You need a guide who sees the full picture, honors your story, and walks with you every step of the way.

 Without clarity, selling a home can feel like navigating a storm without a compass. The wrong advice or timing can leave you vulnerable, chasing price drops, losing leverage, or missing the buyer who truly connects with your home. Thankfully, it doesn’t have to be that way! At The Cory Lauer Group, we bring more than expertise. We bring strategy, energy, and empathy—because relationships are at the heart of everything we do. We anticipate what others overlook, position your home with intention, and negotiate with your future in mind. We truly have a passion for helping our clients protect their equity and accelerate their goals.

With over 24 years of experience, we’ve earned a reputation for delivering results through strong, lasting relationships. Whether you’re selling a family home, a luxury estate, or managing an investment portfolio, we tailor our approach to fit your needs. We take the time to listen, provide expert guidance, and create a personalized strategy that reflects your unique story, all backed by market insight, data, and a trusted network of professionals.

So let’s talk. Not a sales pitch—just a real conversation about where you are and where you want to go. From there, we’ll build your custom strategy and take it one thoughtful move at a time.

It’s Not Just What We Offer—It’s How We Deliver

Hello! I'm Cory Lauer!

Real Estate Broker

Originally from central Ohio, Cory graduated from the University of Mount Union in 1999 and moved to Southwest Florida, drawn by its unbeatable weather and fond memories of vacationing on Fort Myers Beach. In 2001, he launched his real estate career, earning “Rookie of the Year” at a top local firm before opening his own brokerage in 2004. Recognized annually since 2009 as a top agent, he led The Cory Lauer Group to 1st place in units sold (2020) through hard work—starting each day at 4am—and a hands-on approach to listings, negotiations, and team leadership.

Today, Cory’s five-agent team handles everything from vacant land to commercial properties, leveraging nearly 25 years of diverse experience. When he’s not working, you’ll find him at Bonita Beach with his wife and three kids or fueling his passion for fitness with Peloton and early gym sessions.

What Our Clients Are Saying...

"The Cory Lauer Group is the perfect example of professionalism, expertise, care, and commitment wrapped into one team. This group of professionals take on each assignment and client with determination, kindness, and grit. You would be hard pressed to find another team that will work on your behalf as hard and well as they will."

- Anna H.

"We were very impressed with Cory's ability to listen to our needs and requirements. Our sale was unique as it was an unusual large property that did not fit the requirements of most home buyers and also had a tenant with farm animals that required advance notice and appointments at odd hours. Cory seamlessly handled all with prospective buyers, their agents, the tenant and subsequent inspections/engineers. He understood the value of the property as a whole not just as a house. We were quite impressed with his knowledge of the local market and it's various classes of buyers, home flippers, end users, commercial/professional and agricultural. We are grateful for what he was able to provide especially as we are out of state."

- Ryann F.

"Cory helped me purchase my first home. Always patient & listening to what I wanted....finding the perfect home for me! Years later when I moved away & had to sell, of course Cory was the only one I trusted to help me during this huge decision. He & his WONDERFUL staff were my advocates, looking out for my best interest & going to bat for me. They walked me through every step of the process, I never worried that they wouldn’t have everything handled properly & on time! I highly recommend Cory to everyone!"
