“I have known Link Corkery for over twenty years. He has been the realtor on several of my best and largest purchases. His advice and council have always and consistently been of the highest order, both in terms of value, aesthetics, and ownership issues.

“Because Link has been active in the Oakland and Berkeley markets for so many years, and because of his great understanding of the real estate markets, he can offer advice and analysis that cannot be obtain from others. He understands the types of properties that will and will not be successful in the future, and how to improve a property for best rental value and appearance. In general, when Link approves a purchase, I feel much more confident in the value involved and much more willing to put hard earned money at risk.

“Also, as a real estate broker, I have always found that Link puts the interests of his clients first, even before his own personal compensation or fee. I would recommend Link Corkery to any other investor who is interested in the best possible real estate advice and brokerage services.”

“I have known and used Link in numerous transactions over the last 20 years. Link is a consummate professional and very trustworthy. I always feel that he has my best interests at heart. Whether buying or selling he works extremely hard to represent your interests. He counsels and advises, but he never puts pressure on you to make a deal. I unhesitatingly recommend him.”

“Nick Myerhoff represented me in a purchase transaction of a 26 unit condo development in Oakland. I had spoken with many agents and brokers but Nick was the only one able to negotiate an acceptable price for me. With Nick’s help I was able to purchase this property with very favorable terms and with a 30% discount from the original asking price.

“Because I am a Chinese national there were challenges with loan approval. Nick helped me reduce my down payment by cross collateralizing another property and restructure the principal pay down. In the end all parties came away happy because of Nick’s hard work, creative thinking and consistent focus on the end goal.

“After close of escrow Nick continued to help me with my apartment building. He assisted me in planning the rehabilitation the property, writing letters to tenants, creating a management agreement and working with me on possible exit strategies.

“I later found out that there were nearly 20 competing offers and various LOIs on this property. No other agent or broker working on the sale of this condo complex was able to bring the buyer and seller to the table and negotiate a transaction which left all parties happy.

“Throughout the purchase transaction Nick stayed in touch with me daily, communicating with me every step of the way and following through on all his commitments. He was available by cell phone at all hours of the day and over the weekends, he always returned my calls immediately, when he did not know the answer he was able to find out and get back to me quickly.”

“Our firm has been doing business in California for over 20 years. We specialize in rather complex re-positioning of apartment properties to improve their design, tenancy and management, and increase both their income and market value.

“To do this we need deep knowledge of a potential purchase, its strong points, its potential, its local market niche, and the business environment. When it comes time to dispose of an asset we need to be sure we know its value before listing, how to position our property to appeal to the right buyer, and to have full access to the universe of real buyers out there. And we need to be sure that the buyers have confidence in the professionals representing us.

“We have known Link Corkery for over 20 years. We share a wide range of professionals who also know and work with Link, not only other owners, but brokers, inspectors, engineers, title companies, lenders, etc. He enjoys wide respect. Link has brought his talents and energy to RHNAC as a dynamic President of the apartment association of Northern Alameda.

“I recommend Link without hesitation. He is a person of the utmost integrity. He never takes a listing without detailed study of the property and its inner workings. He knows his buyers and sellers, and he knows the market building by building, transaction by transaction.”
