Larry Corona was one of the very first people I met when I relocated my family and architectural practice to League City in 2000. He was and still is a true ambassador for the Clear Lake area as he sought out any possible way to assist & support our integration into the area. Larry has an immense knowledge of the South Eastern quadrant of Houston – past, present and future. His approach to dealing with people is based on pure honesty and is as straight forward as it gets. I have a lot of respect for Larry Corona and recommend him to those seeking professional brokerage services.
Stan Cromartie,
Pres. & Founding Principal, ARCON
I have had the pleasure of working with Larry and Oak Realty since the early 1980’s and I continue to do so on a regular basis. I have always found him to be professional and courteous but just as important he has always been enjoyable to work with. In the number and type of deals that we have worked on together there have been some that have presented great challenges and been a test of character. We have done numerous commercial developments and buildings, both small and large residential subdivisions, as well as many individual building projects. We have done dozens of deals together ranging from small acreage tracts to one involving hundreds of acres. In ever case Larry’s representation has been a great help and he has never complained about a deal being too small or too large.
He has never failed to maintain an even temper and a positive attitude which can be very important when something is not going the way that we might want it to. On the nine hundred acre Magnolia Creek Subdivision and Golf Course we had the challenge of dealing with the FDIC through another broker and sometimes found it very difficult to keep the deal on track. We worked extensively on the deal and had to make the trip to Dallas to meet with the FDIC representatives in order to ultimately close the deal. In addition to the FDIC he represented us in dealing with three other owners in order to secure the property needed to assemble enough land to create the subdivision. Once we had secured the property Larry then represented us with the builders that purchased the lots as they were developed.
Another interesting project was Harborwalk Subdivision and Marina. The property was purchased at auction in what was one of the more convoluted formats that we have ever encountered. Larry was not deterred at all. Although it took more than six months to consummate the closing on the 800 plus acre tract Larry never lost focus on the goal and was instrumental in successfully achieving a closing.
Numerous other projects have involved smaller developments that entailed the initial purchase of a piece of property, completing the development work and then handling the sale of individual tracts. Some of these were medium size, ranging from less than a dozen up to seventy lots and more The one constant is that Larry has always been helpful and supportive in whatever endeavor was at hand.
In closing I can say that I would highly recommend Larry as a professional and responsible broker. He is a pleasure to work with and will always try to do his best. Not only is he very capable but he will try to make sure that it is an enjoyable experience. I count Larry as a good friend and business associate that has contributed materially to whatever success I have been blessed to achieve.
Sincerely,
Lynn B. Watkins
