Cory Sherman

With a career built on authenticity, education, and meaningful relationships, Cory brings a unique perspective to real estate coaching. A Triangle native and seasoned real estate professional, Cory entered the industry in 2017 without a formal background in finance or real estate. What began as an unexpected career shift quickly became a thriving business grounded in service, continuous learning, and genuine connection.

Since joining Keller Williams and founding Homegrown Real Estate in 2018, Cory has generated more than $50 million in sales while embracing the models, systems, culture, and educational opportunities within KW. His experience includes serving on the Agent Leadership Council, completing BOLD, and becoming a certified Quantum Leap instructor.

Cory’s passion for education is at the heart of his coaching philosophy. He believes agents don’t need to change who they are to succeed—they need the right models, tools, mindset, and support to build a business that reflects who they are. His approach combines real-world experience with a strong commitment to client service, helping agents create sustainable businesses through authentic relationships and intentional growth.

As a real estate advisor, Cory has built his business around one simple principle: service comes first. His years in the industry have given him experience across nearly every aspect of a real estate transaction, from helping clients find the right home and financing to maximizing the results of a sale.

Beyond real estate, Cory is an avid traveler, reader, podcast enthusiast, competitive pool player, and improv comedy fan. His experiences creating real estate opportunities and referral relationships internationally have further shaped his belief that a real estate career can create opportunities wherever life takes you.

As a coach, Cory brings that same philosophy to every agent he works with—helping them build confidence, strengthen their business, deepen their client relationships, and create a career they can take anywhere.
