The experience of buying a house in the Bay Area for a first-time buyer is not for the faint of heart. Corinne and her partner walked me through every step of the process, answered every question, and provided thoughtful insight throughout any turbulence we experienced. Their knowledge, experience, and strategy got us through with a big win.

We loved working with Corinne! She is incredibly savvy and was able to educate and advise us in our home search with efficiency and directness. I felt very comfortable speaking with her from the first inquiry to the day we closed, knowing that she would have the most up-to-date information on the market, historic trends, specific listings, and inspections. Her advice was always clear and interested without being pushy and we naturally trusted her a lot since she has been in real estate for so many years! Once we were in contract, Corinne was extremely helpful in advising us how to negotiate and what we would need to be aware of as far as compliance and permits as soon as the sale was completed. We truly could not have done half as much even half as well without Corinne's support and... Show More
The Petit-Whyte Team was truly exceptional. I was impressed with their level of knowledge and the amount of data they had about the market. Corinne and Michael were immensely patient with our seemingly endless questions and were ALWAYS available to answer any questions we had about selling our properties. Their responsiveness was incredible. I would trust them with my eyes closed, and their attention to detail and level of time/dedication to their clients is outstanding. I'm not sure how you can have a better agent than the Petit-Whyte Team and their entire team. If we ever need to sell again, we know exactly who to call when the time comes.

Our experience with Corinne literally could not have been better. She is a wonderful listener, great at getting a sense of her clients' tastes and the kind of homes they want to see. She does not impose her own preferences but works hard to understand and respond to the client's. Corinne also strongly believes in helping her clients understand the market and the (challenging) process of buying a home in the Bay area. She explains everything fully, and uses house visits (which she schedules -- giving her own time -- outside of open houses, so clients have more time and space to look carefully) as a way of educating clients about the small but revealing things they should be looking for. She teaches clients how to read documents, asking questions to make sure we understand key... Show More
Corinne is the best!! Super personable, professional, and responsive. She goes above and beyond. We used her to buy one house and sell another, and she was phenomenal both times!

Corinne is truly amazing. My house was a harder one to sell and she worked tirelessly to sell it quickly and get me into another home that is better for me and my family. I hope to not move again for a long time but she will be the first person I call if I need to.
Proactive, communicative and determined to help us achieve our goals. We really enjoyed working with Corinne and her team and would highly recommend her!

We connected with Corrine through Redfin and we’re so lucky to have found her. Shes is highly knowledgeable, experienced, and keen to understanding her client’s needs. She always responded promptly to all our questions and connected us with outstanding professionals for loans, insurance, escrow, etc. As first time buyers, we needed some guidance, and she was with us every step of the way. She’s a fantastic agent and I would highly recommend working with her!
Corinne Petit and Michael Whyte are fantastic to work with! They are both incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely care about finding the right home for their clients. I highly recommend the Petit-Whyte team, particularly for first-time homebuyers. As someone new to the Bay Area (and the super fast-paced market), it made a big difference to work with Corinne and Michael and I'm grateful for their guidance and expertise. They simplified the process and made it fun--thank you both so much!
After a few bad experiences with other realtors we were so lucky and happy to find Corinne through friend referral. We spent about 4 months working with her, from starting our search in the East Bay to offer accepted. Throughout the entire process she was always helpful and incredibly responsive. She was never pushy with anything and patient every step of the way: from explaining things, to taking our time to look as many houses as needed. What I liked most about her was that in a few instances, she could have likely pushed us to increase our bid to secure a purchase, but instead she suggest we may be able to find something better for this price. To me, this proved she was truly interested in helping us get the best home, instead of just trying to get us to close quickly. She helped us... Show More

Corinne was a pleasure to work with! We were first time homebuyers and came to her with a specific property in mind. She patiently explained every step of the way, expertly handled a few last minute issues that cropped up, and helped us close on our first offer, which feels like a miracle in the Bay Area.

I came to the United States as an international student and lived in the midwest for many years, when I visited California for the first time I knew I have found a second home away from home. But expensive house pricing and no experience in house buying was a big challenge for me. However, thanks to Corinne who has great skills in buying condos in the Bay Area, lots of experience in negotiating the price, and explaining the process to the smallest detail helped me find my new home. All her findings were very unique to my preference and I could not appreciate that more as a first-time buyer. Just a month into walking into Corinne's open house and now I am a first-time condo owner! Small dreams come true if you have a good realtor!

I have only excellent things to say about Corinne, who I met by chance when i was still very early in the process of looking for a home. She made it clear that she wanted to help, followed up immediately with me, took the time to understand my wants and needs and was ever patient with my indecisiveness. She was able to give me advice and helped make up my mind on things I wanted or didn't want, but never pushed me to a decision I wasn't 100% on board with. On top of all this she was also very helpful in outlining the homebuying process from end to end, which I definitely needed as a first time homebuyer because it feels like such a complicated, arcane system at times - but Corinne was here every step of the way and answering my questions no matter how silly they may have seemed.

Let me begin by saying I will only use Corinne for any future real estate purchases or sales! She is AMAZING! She recently helped me find and purchase my first home in the East Bay. She puts her clients’ best interest and well-being first from start to finish! She notices all the fine details—things a client would likely not see/know on their own—and she keeps her client informed every step of the way. Her responsiveness is unparalleled! She is so committed to communicating updates that she is always easy to reach and available for a call—even late evenings and weekends. I highly recommend Corinne! You will not be disappointed nor lost in the process when guided by her knowledge, attention, and insights! An outstanding agent!
I've learned that selling a house in California is almost as complicated as buying a house in California. There are lots of reports and deadlines that have to be met in order to do it right. Corinne did a great job of keeping things on track and powering through to the finish line. She also came up with a wonderful staging company that absolutely transformed our house into a jewel. Thanks to her staging and marketing plan, she generated a huge number of visits which resulted in many offers. She did an excellent job interpreting and contrasting the various offers. The new owners are really excited about their lovely house and everything went smoothly for both parties. This was truly a win-win!
Corinne was such a pleasure to work with. She was always there to guide us and never felt pushy in any way. If we had any questions, and we had many, she was quick to answer them. For being a first time home buyer, we had no idea what things we should be on the look out for, but Corinne guided us in the right direction. She pointed out the "not so obvious" issues a house might have but also the beauty in each house we looked at. Corinne is never the type of person to try and sell you a house just for a sale. She truly is genuine and wants you to enjoy your property that you end up buying. I wouldn't have wanted any other agent helping us to find our forever home.
I wouldn't trust selling my condo to anyone other than Corinne. She helped me navigate the process the entire way through. Before the listing, she provided all the various options for sprucing up the condo, giving her take on what would be a good investment versus what would not help the purchase (but never pushing one option over the over). Her approach for putting together the listing made the process very easy for me, especially putting together the disclosures. Finally, she helped us negotiate with the buyers to find the best way forward for both parties. I am recommending Corinne to all my friends and family in the Bay Area.
Corinne is a wonderful agent to work with. She is knowledgeable, super helpful, and always available. She advised us to hang on and not settle for a property that didn't check all the boxes. She said she would find us just what we were looking for, and she did. She also has a great network of people who can help with the work that comes after you buy a place. We recommend her highly!

Corinne is a fantastic Realtor with deep knowledge of the market and an incredible work ethic. She helped to patiently guide us through the crazy Bay Area housing market to ultimately help us find a fantastic property that fit our needs and budget. We happily recommend Corinne without hesitation!

I recently purchased a home in the Bay Area with the help of Corinne Petit. The process took place during the height of Covid. What is already a stressful decision could have been even more daunting without the incredible support and expertise I received from Corinne. I work in finance and was thoroughly impressed by her attention to detail, responsiveness and overall care she took from looking for a property to closing and booking my loan. To anyone looking in the Bay Area I couldn't recommend her enough.

With Corinne Petit’s help, as first-time buyers, we found exactly the house we wanted: It’s big enough (3/2). It’s in the city we love (Berkeley), and we actually got it at a price point we could afford. Corinne is exactly the right solution to the seemingly impossible Bay Area market. She is savvy, smart, personable, and TENACIOUS beyond belief. She helped us time the market and be patient. In the meantime, she surfaced possibilities, never once pressured us, helped us write offers, and encouraged us to have faith that it would all work out in the end. Fast-forward 6 months, and we just moved into our first home. I recommended Corinne to work with some friends who were also first-time East Bay home-buyers and they closed on their dream home within 6 weeks of working together. Again:... Show More

Corinne was very committed and sincerely invested in helping my family fulfill our dream of owning a home in the east bay. She took initiative and went out of her way to explain all of the details. Corinne was even so thoughtful as to purchase one year of home utility warranty. She is a great realtor.

There is a saying: “A captain only shows during a storm.” Corinne became my realtor for selling my home just days before the COVID-19 lockdown was issued in CA. The perfect storm, ripping all our plans to pieces. I was already on my way to another state to purchase a new home. Any path forward looked like a minefield. Defeat seemed imminent. Yet Corinne proved to be that captain who can weather such a storm with an onward and upward attitude. Despite daily changes of regulations and endless interference by tyrannical politicians, all our goals are accomplished. It took courage, nerves of steel, and the rare human ability to keep one's spirit high in the face of grand adversity to get through this. Imagine assembling a thousand-piece puzzle in the midst of a hurricane. Corrine can do it... Show More
Corinne is easily 11/10 and we highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home. As first time home buyers, my husband and I were nervous about the process and our lack of experience. Finding Corinne was a huge relief as she expertly guided us through every step to home ownership. Corinne listened to our uncertain criteria and after just a single day of showings, honed in on exactly what we were looking for. She showed us not only homes like we described, but also neighborhoods and properties we hadn't even considered, but loved. Corinne pushed us to not compromise and it paid off: we found a home that fit not only all of our needs but also our wants while staying within our budget. Throughout the entire process, Corinne was an incredible advocate and expert guide. It was clear that... Show More

Corinne is an exceptional agent, and I fully credit her for the success of my home search. I was a first time home-buyer in Oakland, and was buying with the help of a new Alameda County down payment assistance loan program. I had a limited budget and short timeframe to purchase using the program, and had a terrible experience with my first agent. I was exhausted and ready to give up when my primary lender recommended reaching out to Corinne. From our first conversation, Corinne breathed new life into my search. She was totally unfazed by the complexities of my financing and the unknowns about the relatively new county program, and worked extremely diligently on my behalf even though my budget was small by Bay Area standards. Corinne offers a unique combination of kindness and toughness... Show More

My partner and I recently relocated to the Bay Area, where we have lived off and on over the past 20 years. We were referred to Corinne by a dear friend who had found her dream house in Berkeley working with Corinne last year. When we started working with Corinne in March 2020, we didn't know exactly what we were looking for. We thought we would want to find the classic vernacular California bungalow. We found that most of what was in our price range either required a lot of deferred maintenance, or was in a neighborhood we didn't like, or frankly was dark and moody in the Craftsman style. As Shelter in Place kicked in, we were ready to call off the search, but Corinne stuck with us and helped us narrow in on what we were looking for. It turns out we wanted something light, airy,...

Just now I completed a realestate transaction with Corinne as my buyer agent. I really enjoyed working with her as realestate purchase is a very long process. Corinne was always avalable to show the next property. She is a down to earth, no fuss agent and a good human being who thinks from the client's perspective which makes her stand out of the crowd. Now Corinne is my go-to agent for my next realestate transaction needs. I highly recommend her to others too.

It was such a pleasant experience working with Corinne!! As a first-time buyer, I had no clue what I was doing. Corinne took the time to explain the whole process, gave invaluable advice (spotting potential asbestos and HOA issues), suggested a very responsive broker, and helped negotiate a price that I am very happy with. Above all, Corinne was extremely patient as I figured out exactly what I wanted (neighborhoods, # of bedrooms, etc): I can tell she truly wants her clients to end up in a place they love.
