“When my wife and I decided to look for a condo downtown, we googled to get a sense of inventory and general prices. Chris’s website came up which was easy to use and had several properties we were interested in seeing. We called Chris that day, rec’d a return call within an hour and started seeing properties the same day! Chris not only lives downtown, he was extremely knowledgeable about different buildings, neighborhoods and condo values. We purchased a condo within days in the Third Ward. Chris was just as responsive and helpful during the negotiating and closing process. We would highly recommend Chris to our friends and family.”
“A very overdue note to thank you for your amazing help and work to help us find our dream condo! Doing this from 1,000 miles away seamlessly is a testament to your knowledge and service. We are so pleased with our home and look forward to referring friends to Corley Real Estate.”

“I engaged Chris in the aquistion of a high end condominium two years ago and found Chris to be truly professional, cordial, creative, and well versed in his profession. He is responsive, talented, and most of all, a genuine person who I now consider a friend. Steve Biondi, VP Extendicare.”
“I had the pleasure of working with Chris when moving back to the Milwaukee area. Chris has a thorough understanding of the marketplace and spent time listening to and understanding my needs.

“Chris Corley provided my husband and I great service during our consideration and purchase of a condo located in downtown Milwaukee. He was always personable and willing to think out-of-the box to find options to suit our individual needs. I would strongly recommend Chris as an expert real estate broker with experience in the Greater Milwaukee Area and downtown community.”
“When we decided to live in Downtown Milwaukee, we worked with Chris and the experience was great. Chris was very knowledgeable, well prepared and had a thorough understanding of the project detail and kept us abreast of all events. Chris was also accessible. He answered his own phone and if not available would get back to you promptly (day or night). This was very refreshing especially after dealing with other realtors who never seem to have time to answer there own phone or return calls promptly. I would not hesitate to use Chris again if the occasion arises. I recommend Chris as a real estate professional.”
“I have known Chris since he worked at Renner Architects where he worked with me when I bought my home in the Breakwater condominiums. I found him to be friendly, smart and detail oriented. He provided quick responses to all my needs regarding that transaction and I would be happy to use him again.”
“I highly recommend Chris! I bought my condo through another realtor and Chris was representing the developer. Chris went above and beyond to help not only the move, but with coordinating and taking care of details with my unit (was new construction) months after the move in. Chris did not have to do all he did. I can’t say enough about how helpful Chris is. Dependable, timely, professional and a pleasure to work with.
I would work with Chris again in a minute and recommend him to friends and family.”
“I worked closely with Chris during and after the purchase of our condo on the Milwaukee lakefront. He was always very accommmodating, professional and responsive to our needs. We knew when Chris got involved that we’d get great results in quick order. I’d certainly work with him again if the opportunity arises.”
“I have known Chris for the past two years and have had a number of real estate and other dealings with him. Throughout my contact with Chris I have found him to be both professional and well versed in real estate matters. He provided a level of service exceeding the basics, and also referred my wife and me to competent contractors and other professionals to help us make the house our home. As a result, I recommend Chris Corley for your real estate needs.”
“I had the pleasure of working with Chris Corley while purchasing my condominium at The Breakwater. He was extremely responsive, accessible, and informative, providing the necessary details that I needed to assist me in my final decision to purchase.”
“I had the opportunity to work with Chris as the representative of Breakwater Condo’s. Began working with him before the hole was even dug. I found Chris to be extremely attentive to our needs, knowledgeable about the development at all stages, and always willing to do what he could to assist us with the process. His charismatic manner will serve him extremely well in his new business. I would not hesitate to retain him as a broker.”
“Chris demonstrated a high-level of professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail throughout our entire purchase. He provides a great service and is a pleasure to work with.”

I would highly recommend Chris.”

CONDO SELLERS
“When searching for a Milwaukee pied-à-terre, we met Chris as the listing agent of the condo we purchased. We quickly outgrew that space, but, we did not out grow our positive impression of Chris. Chris deftly handled the listing and selling of that small space, and then, the sometimes tricky purchase of a larger downtown condo. With apologies to Meredith Wilson, Chris absolutely “knows the territory”. He knows the market, he knows the pros and cons of listings; he’s a good listener, and a savvy communicator. Chris deserves our most sincere endorsement.”
Susie and Rick Beverstein…..Break Water Residents
“Thank you so much for one of the best real estate experiences ever! You communicated, were upbeat & I had great confidence in you! Best of luck in 2022!”
“Chris Corley and his team are second to none when it comes to specializing in Downtown Milwaukee Real Estate. We initially found Chris when we bought our condo at The Breakwater. When we were ready to sell 10 years later, we knew we wanted him. Every single aspect of our sale from beginning to end was seamless, and we could not have chosen a more qualified, knowledgeable Real Estate Agent. Our favorite part about working with Corley Real Estate is how they treat you like family. Selling your home can be emotional and stressful, but not with Chris. He came in, was honest, and made us feel comfortable with our original purchase and more recently with our sale. Whenever we do this again, there is no one we trust more than Chris. He is a class act through and through!”
“Thanks Chris, you were a wonderful, helpful agent. Best we have ever had!”
“Chris is an incredibly responsive, knowledgeable realtor and a very positive, friendly person. Always willing to go the extra mile, Chris worked with contractors to get things done while I was out of town. He communicated with me regularly and made me feel confident that everything was being taken care of. We had several challenges with my house along the way but he promptly addressed them and we closed on the property. I even referred Chris to a friend and he quickly and seamlessly sold that condo. I strongly recommend Chris and his team for all of your real estate needs.”
“My overall experience with Chris Corley and his team at Corley Real Estate was an exceptional one.The Milwaukee downtown condo market is unique and a very competitive one. At times, there’s a lot more considerations involved when selling or buying a condo versus a home in the suburbs, where a school district choice often prevails as the deciding factor. Hence, I was very selective on whom I chose to list my condo after attempting to sell it on my own for several months. I interviewed several realtors, and Chris was clearly the best choice available because of his industry expertise, strategic approach, and thorough understanding of all condo buildings and neighborhoods in the downtown Milwaukee. Chris is a smart and trustworthy business person. He’s accessible (pick’s up his own phone), personable, and communicative (promptly responds to any asked questions) – and also very detail oriented by seeing through every task from the beginning to the end. Corley Real Estate’s nimble, flexible and solution-oriented boutique business model served me well. I highly recommend Chris to anyone who is contemplating to buy or sell a condo in the downtown Milwaukee area.”
“This was the best/easiest closing I have ever had!”
“Chris Corley is an exceptional real estate professional. We have bought and sold many homes around the country and can say he is the best agent in our experience. His knowledge of the Milwaukee luxury and waterfront condominium market is without peer. He was the listing agent when we purchased. He was attentive and helpful throughout the purchase process. He was also very helpful in networking in Milwaukee as we were new to the area. So when it was time to sell, he was our first choice for our listing. Chris worked with us to price based on his detailed knowledge of the market and trends. We highly recommend Chris.”
“We have worked with Chris Corley as BOTH a buyer and a seller as well as a leasing agent, all in the 2010-11 market! Our results were great.

COLLEGUES
“Details of the Recommendation: “Chris is the real deal. He didn’t get into real estate in 2007 like 10 million other brokers/agents, at the height of the “order taking” frenzy. He is a professional, and real estate is his career. If you want some phony baloney cougar with a late model BMW, who is more interested in your wife “falling in love” with passe decor that was sold at the Merchandise Mart in Chicago 10 years ago… DON’T CALL CHRIS!”
“The combination of Chris’ real estate knowledge and affable manner made him a most valued resource when I was transitioning to the Breakwater property. Smart. Strategic. Solid.”
I have had the pleasure of knowing Chris Corley since 2007. During this time, I have worked with him on several real estate transactions at The Breakwater Condominums.
I have found Chris to be very professional and competent in all aspects of the real estate business. In addition, Chris is very personable and someone who is willing to go the “extra mile” to help out whatever way he can. I highly recommend Chris Corley to anyone who might be looking for a real estate agent.”
“I had the opportunity to work with Chris on a very detailed and demanding high end residential construction project in Milwaukee – 110 living units at The BreakWater Condominiums. Not only did Chris sell the units and deal directly with the buyers during the construction process, he also helped expedite finishes on the project. His detail with both suppliers and unit buyers led to a very successful project for all involved.”
“My experience with Chris has been exceptional, I appreciate his attention to detail and follow up!”
