Agent Details

When you’re looking for the right real estate agent, you want one that is already invested in the things you care about most: your lifestyle, your neighborhood, your prosperity … your happiness! If you believe that there’s more to the business of buying or selling a home than a listing price, then you’ve come to the right agent in Cori Pavlis. 

Much like the journey of most homeowners, Cori’s process of turning her vision into an exciting reality came naturally—but not without serious dedication! She spent much of her adult life fascinated by the real estate market all around her. Then, she transformed her passion into her career path, first assisting a group of agents with their success and digging deep to learn the best practices in the industry.  

Now, after earning her stripes and starting her own business, Cori prides herself on being the most ready and responsive agent you can work with. When you’re seeking someone who goes beyond the basics, partner with Cori and enjoy her key strengths: 

Prepared and Proactive. Too many agents are tempted to set up the MLS search and send a list of results, or just follow a checklist of dos and don’ts for going to market. For Cori, that won’t do. She keeps a close eye on the private market, in an effort to find “the one” before it even comes to market. She’ll scour your preferred neighborhood, seeking potential sales that are not even listed yet. And she reviews every MLS listing to ensure it aligns with your goals, with no unwanted surprises.  

Devoted and Responsive. Asked about the number one characteristic that she brings to any client, Cori does not hesitate to reply: Clients Come First. It’s her motto and her mantra: your needs, your questions and your preferences are the map for working with Cori. She insists that you will not be forced to wait for answers or settle for less. After all, you’re making decisions that involve your heart, mind and life. 

Energetic and Determined. Perhaps it’s the 10 years she spent as a “career volunteer” prior to real estate, but Cori comes to each homebuying or selling experience as a new start-up adventure. She was born to meet needs and make matches. Whether it’s starting a new Girl Scout troop, non-profit event planning for Rest in His Arms Angel Gowns, or building a world-class Lego League team from the ground up, clients and colleagues know: you can count on Cori! 

Cori, her husband and two children live in McHenry with their beloved fur baby, Charlie. She loves sharing the unique energy of life in a river town with friends and neighbors—many of whom have been clients, a special pleasure to run into them around town. The family makes extra time for travel together, too, all the while knowing what Cori has made a foundation of her approach to real estate: There really is no place like home!
