Designated Broker, Realtor Specialties:Buyer's Agent,Listing Agent,Relocation,Investment & Income Property http://corybemis.johnlscott.com Having been born and raised in Yakima, I feel as if I know and understand the area as well as anyone. Growing up with two incredibly knowledgeable, inspiring, and hard-working entrepreneurial parents, I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to learn and understand the ways of four independently successful local businesses. This has allowed me to attain a large array of skills and strategies for finding solutions to different questions or dilemmas. Throughout my entire life, I have always been interested in markets. I love learning about and understanding everything from how different markets function, to how they are sustained. I've been active in many fields of the investment market from the age of 13. I discovered the Real Estate field at the age of 22 and immediately began educating myself. A few months later, I joined the newly established Creekside Realty where I was granted the opportunity to train under four seasoned Real Estate veterans. I now actively invest in both residential and rental income properties. I returned to Yakima in the summer of 2006 after spending four years in the Seattle area and earning a Bachelor's Degree in Economics from the University of Washington. The diversity of people as well as the four-seasoned agricultural valley of Yakima is just too pleasantly astonishing to keep away from. I'm excited to be part of one of the strongest and most prospering real-estate markets in the Northwest. I earned my Real Estate License in 2006 and continue to represent buyers and sellers in both residential and commercial transactions. I served a 6 year term (2011-2016) on the Board of Directors for the Yakima Association of Realtors, for which I was the president in 2015. I also served a 5 year term (2015-2019) on the MLS of Yakima Board of Directors. I have served on the YAR Professional Standards Committee each year since 2013. I previously served a 4 year term on the Yakima Tennis Club Board of Directors including serving one year as the Club President in 2012. I retired as the head coach for the East Valley High School Tennis Team after the 2012 season, where I coached from 2007-2012. During this 6 year span, the girls and boys East Valley Tennis teams each claimed at least one CWAC division championship and had multiple players participate in the state tournament. Outside of real estate, my hobbies include: playing tennis, golfing, and spending time with friends and family. My wife and I were married in 2012 and purchased our first home together a few months later. We now have 2 children and a dog and we're looking forward to raising our family in the wonderful Yakima Valley.
