Jerry helped me get my primary residency in Feb 2017. It was a great deal and I had a very pleasant experience with him. This year, my wife and I planned to invest in real estate in Stockton and we thought of Jerry straight away. I approached Jerry in Oct 2017 telling him our plan and he was so positive then setup a metro-list email for us so that we were able to receive relevant house selling leads.   My pre-approval letter finally came in March and we started our house hunting journey right away. We kept asking Jerry to show us the houses we were interested in, he had no hesitation but arranged the access for us immediately. We had seen a number of houses through Jerry but none of them fell into our criteria. In early May, we finally found one great deal but it had an open house on Sat/Sun which I was not able to make. I asked Jerry if we were able to take a look before the open house. He called the seller with no time and amazingly he was able to let us in one day before the open house -- Friday (We asked Jerry on Thu).   We went in the house and took a prior look. We fell in love of this one and made the offer immediately. Jerry gave us a few pieces of advice for the offer in order to have the higher chance to win in this competitive market: 1. Offer a little bit higher, 2. Offer 'as if' if I feel comfortable about the condition (as I am a maintenance guy for many years, I know this house is fine without contingency), 3. Make the offer before the open house to show our sincerity.   Everything seemed to have happened as Jerry predicted, our offer got accepted after the open house even there were some higher bids....our tactic won!   During the closing stage, there were a number of issues needing the seller to resolve before our lending underwriter released the fund. One of the things was the safety metal straps for the water heater. Before I offered to do it myself without charging the seller, Jerry had arranged his handyman to knock this out quickly. When I offered to pay the handyman or send some gifts, he said I don't have to worry as they have taken care of the handyman. I greatly appreciated his prompt action and his attitude to take good care of his customers all time.   By the time of closing, it was also his big day ahead. He worked so hard until the last moment to wrap up all documents and made sure his co-workers were able to follow up seamlessly before his departure to Europe for 3 weeks.   When the closing day came, I told Jerry not to worry about coming with me as it was already my second time to close. However, he insisted he needed to be present in order to answer any question or explain any unclear statements. I was lucky that both my Realtor Jerry and my lender showed up during the closing process. They joked each other 'I have never seen a real estate agent shows up in the closing' ...'I have also never seen a lender shows up in the closing either'! Hilarious!! Anyway, I am sure I have got a great team -- an awesome realtor and an great lender. Jerry has become my 2nd time hero! My wife and I couldn't have got this good deal without his help!   Jerry is definitely my only choice if I have my next deal! Thank you Jerry! read more

I couldn't be happier with the experience I had with Jerry and Cornerstone while trying to sell my property. Initially, I had thought about listing our home myself. I felt like the primary reason you would want to go with an agent versus posting it online yourself is how the property is labeled. I discovered that posting a property yourself will make it labeled as For Sale By Owner (FSBO) and this means that 95% of the "inquiries" you receive will be from brokers looking to pitch you on why FSBO is not the way to go and how they can do better. Additionally, a lot of buyers agents will not bother showing their clients your property because it may be unclear to them how much commission you're willing to provide. Jerry helped me understand these important details. When Cornerstone posts your property on the MLS and those websites it will be labeled just as any other property which is being represented by a broker: This means other brokers will take your listing more seriously since they can clearly see the commission amount you're willing to give (to a buyers' agent) and will stop the cold-calling since they're not allowed to solicit sellers who are already being represented. All that being said, to be successful, you will need to personally do all of the heavy-lifting to get your house sold. This is easier when in a seller's market, like it can be in CA often, when compared to other areas but it is very much a full-time job. You'll need to be extremely responsive to a massive influx of emails, phone calls, and texts and then be able coordinate scheduling and showings. When people are viewing your property you'll need to be able to effectively market it to the sellers and brokers in an objective manner, which any FSBO seller will tell you is easier said than done. Then comes the open houses, flyers and materials, follow-ups and ultimately the negotiating. You will likely save 3-4% on your property sale in commissions, assuming you offer 2-3% to a buyer's agent as an incentive to show your property to their clients. While it is possible that a buyer will find your listing online and contact you directly (avoiding a commission fee entirely) it is less likely since most buyers continue to leverage brokers in the buying process since it costs them nothing to do so. Even still, 3-4% can be a huge amount of savings in the right circumstances. It comes down to whether or not you can dedicate the time and effort that a *good seller's agent would typically provide. All that to say, I was so glad I caved in and decided to go with Jerry and Cornerstone. He made the process way easy for me and his communication was over the top. read more

Jerry is your Realtor...you can stop looking cause he is your guy! Jerry helped my wife and me sell our home as we were relocating for a job out of state. He was extremely attentive to our timelines and desires. Jerry even got married during the final weeks of selling our home and still made sure we were taken care of. At one point he even called us from Paris to answer some final questions and to check that everything was going well. Jerry had an open house the first weekend our house was listed and we had 2 full overs. He even took gorgeous pictures of our home (which some realtors charge for) and made our home look very attractive. After 17 day contingency the buyer backed out at no fault to us or Jerry. Jerry kicked it into overdrive having multiple open houses, even on weekends when there my not have been much traffic. He also teamed up with other realtors to increase traffic to our home and worked with financial advisors in order to qualify people right on the spot at the open houses. Less than a week later we were back into contract. Jerry was extremely professional and very knowledgable about the real-estate market. If you want someone who is going to out work any other realtor to sell your home or get you into the right home, then Jerry is your realtor! read more

If I could add more stars to this review I would! Jerry helped us sell our home and buy our new dream home in just 9 weeks. Jerry used several methods including social media to advertise our home along with professional photography which helped to get us plenty of interested buyers. Jerry is extremely knowledgeable and walked us through the real estate process so that we actually learned a lot about the many aspects of buying and selling a home. Jerry has an extremely professional but also caring personality and everytime we encountered any issues with a buyer or with home repairs, he did everything he could to help. He is very easy to talk to and was always available to speak to days, evenings and even through the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. Our family is extremely grateful for all the time that Jerry spent on the sale and purchase of our home. I totally recommend Jerry . You are in good hands with him so do not hesitate to give him a call! He'd be the first we would call if we sold or bought a home again. The Valencia Family read more

We can not say enough great things about Jerry. Having seen my brother go through the home buying process a few months earlier, we knew exactly what we didn't want. My brother stressed and struggled so much with his agent. We were fortunate enough to find Jerry when it was our turn to buy. This was our first time buying a home, so we had many questions. From the beginning, Jerry was very patient and explained everything in a way we would understand. He kept constant communication during the process and kept us in the loop. While we did hit some bumps with the sellers, Jerry always remained clam and positive which trickled down to us. He was always so professional. We bought during a tough buyers market, but because of Jerry's negotiation skills, creativity, professionalism and real estate experience we got a beautiful home for our family to grow up in. He's simply the best! If we are ever in a position to buy another home, we will no doubt be contacting Jerry again. We would recommend him and his team to anyone! read more

Jerry and the whole team at Cornerstone are GREAT!!! They made the whole buying process simple and easy. This was our first house that we were buying and were a little apprehensive at first because of the big investment. Jerry assured us we would walk through the whole process together one thing at a time and he would make sure we understood everything. He answered every question we had and went out of his way to schedule signings and inspections around our schedules. The whole transaction went so smooth that we even closed a few days early!! To add to all of this, he called a week after we moved in to see how we were doing. We were loving the place, but the shower arm had broken. He told us to not worry about it and sent someone right over to fix it for us, AND he took care of everything!   All around, Jerry made our first-time home buying experience fun and exciting. We will definitely refer our friends and family to him because we know he will take care of them. read more

Jeremiah went above and beyond to both help me sell and buy simultaneously; he deserves two 5-star reviews from me! The Cornerstone group provides a personally tailored experience with a warm, caring touch. SELLING: Jeremiah helped me get professional photos taken and even gave me advice for decorative pieces to stage my home. Jeremiah set a strategic asking price and helped choose a well-qualified buyer for a selling price that was better than expected. Selling our house happened so fast my head spun but it turned out great! BUYING: Jeremiah was supportive as I figured out exactly what I was looking for. I switched between permutations of searches between a 3bd and a 4bd. He accompanied me to countless open houses. He was super-responsive in putting in offers to be competitive in bidding. He professionally prepared my purchase package and got me ready for closing. I would definitely use Jeremiah again. I can't say enough about the work Cornerstone does! read more

Selling experience - Jerry Patterson and Nathan Flood are an all star team! They went above and beyond expectations and were always available to answer any questions or concerns. They had our house sold on day one of the list, we had listed earlier this year and sat for 3 months and zero offers. The marketing they provide was beyond anything I've seen in any other real estate company, they spared no expense to sell our house! I would highly recommend this team to sell your house! Buying experience - We were buying in an extremely competitive market for our price range and when we finally found our house we ran into tons of hurdles to jump over. They helped navigate a very difficult purchase that, without them, probably would not of gone through. Im so glad it did and we are very happy in our new home, I could not recommend them enough for buying your dream home! Thank you both and you will be my first call for any real estate transaction! read more

For all your real estate needs Jeremiah is the gentleman you want on your side. He gets done what needs to be done and will not take no for an answer.

And because of Jerry I am sitting here in my new home enjoying the new Air Conditioning wanting to give him the highest possible rating thank you a very satisfied customer and homeowner which will highly recommend this business to anyone read more

When my wife and I were looking to buy a house in Stockton, we checked lots of possible realtor options. In the end, we went with CornerStone Real Estate Group because of the reviews on Yelp, and we have to say we were totally glad we did!! Our realtor was Jerry Patterson, and he was absolutely wonderful! We were first time home buyers and didn't know anything about how it worked, but Jerry was really great at walking us through the process, and by the end we felt really comfortable with what to look, and what steps were involved. He was also super responsive whenever we had questions, walked with us through a bunch of homes, and gave us great advice the whole time. With his help, we managed to close on a beautiful house that we love, and could not have been happier with our experiences with CornerStone Real Estate Group. We highly recommend him. I promise, you won't be disappointed. read more

To say that Jerry is amazing at what he does is an understatement, I am a Real Estate agent in Reno, Jerry had sent one of his clients he has worked with for multiple transactions my way when he found out his client had to relocate to the Reno area. Through that process it just proved how much his clients mean to him. As Jerry was selling there home in Lodi, he continuously was in contact with me as their house had already sold and we were in contract here in Reno. Even though his job was done selling the home in Lodi, he proved that was not enough and stayed with his client and myself till the end just to make sure they were taken care of. His compassion and loyalty for his clients is what makes him the agent I would always look for. I really look forward to working with Jerry again in the future. Thank you for everything! read more

We met Jerry while looking for a house in Stockton during an open house. After we decided to purchase the house he was showing the journey began. Jerry represented both us and the seller. He was very proficient and on top of everything. He answered every question we had and was there to help us through every step of the process. Jerry is an honest and super friendly guy and we were so pleased with his professionalism that we decided to hire him to help us sell the old house we had. And through that process he went way beyond his required job and followed up with the other buyer's agent and the broker. He made sure everything went smoothly up to the last minute when the sale finalized. He even presented us with a gift for our new house! I definitely recommend Jerry and would not choose any other realtor in the future. read more

As a first time homebuyer I couldn't have asked for a better agent to work with!! Jerry Patterson never left any questions unanswered and was prompt in responding to any and all concerns I had. He is extremely knowledgeable of local real estate and meticulous when finding properties that met my needs. Jerry is detail oriented and helped me step by step through this process making for a stress free enjoyable experience. He is not afraid to back his clients and what they stand for as well go to bat for them when negotiating. If you are looking for someone that is hard working, dedicated, and EXTREMELY knowledgeable Jerry Patterson is your go to guy! Thank you for not only making my home buying process so easy and enjoyable but thank you for helping my children and I find our forever home! My best, Belinda read more

Yes, five stars for this guy. Jerry went above and beyond in every way with my real estate transactions. He understood what I needed to accomplish and went to work for me. For ME, not the other agents or himself. He was always timely in responding to my concerns, answered every question and even accompanied me to the signings--I never had an agent come to a signing. My transactions were a little complicated, involving trusts and attorneys, title errors and exchange companies and Jerry made sure each detail was handled properly and followed through with integrity and class. I felt like he was caring for my concerns like I was his family, making sure everything was done properly to protect me and my interests. I highly recommend Jerry Patterson for all your real estate needs. read more

Jeremiah is the best agent that I have had the pleasure of working with and I have moved several times in Northern California and have used several different agents previously. Unlike the other agents, Jeremiah took the time to learn what I was looking for and showed me several places that met my needs. He took the time to explain things that were good about each place and things that were not so great, in order to ensure that I found the right place for me. I really appreciated how honest he was--something that is rare to find these days. He also made me feel like I was his only client. I have already recommended Jeremiah to family and friends and will continue to do so. If I have to move again in the future, I know who to call! read more

This review is for Jeremiah Patterson from the Cornerstone group. My intention was to do it alone for my first house in Stockton, CA. Jeremiah contacted me very quickly after I messaged him about a home he was listing. After a few questions I realized that that initial home wasn't what I was looking for. Jeremiah offered to look for homes matching my needs and quickly sent me a list of other possible homes. He is an extremely hard worker and ensures that his clients are well taken care of. At times I felt like I was too picky but in the end he helped us find a perfect home. I recommend Jeremiah and the Cornerstone group for anyone who is looking for an home in the Stockton area. read more

We just happen to stop by and open house that Jerry was showing. We spoke briefly and both my husband and I thought he was the right realtor to help us find our retirement home in Lodi / Stockton area. Living in Elk Grove we were ready to size down and Jerry was awesome. He was so helpful, professional and ready to move. Built us a website with our criteria and that was great! We looked at a lot of homes and then we found our perfect forever home! We can't thank him enough and so appreciate all he did for us. Every issue that came up Jerry took care of it. Great guy!!!! We got lucky to stumble across Jerry! Thank you Jerry!!! read more

My wife and I are so thankful we met Jerry. We had been through a couple of agents and were about to give up on finding our dream home. From the moment we met Jerry he went to work. He was understanding, patient, knowledgable, and supportive of our vision. We also had a lender who had told us we had no options but Jerry hooked us up with Joseph Varni at Alpha Mortgage. Before we knew it we had found the perfect home and had closed the deal in 20 days. The seller agent said we got the home becuase of Jerry and his professionalism and his overall attitude and business ethic. THANK YOU JERRY!!! Andrew and Michelle Feingold read more
