“Our complicated situation of the death of a loved one and having to list her house to get it sold.”
I met Alex through detailed online research. I explained our complicated situation of the death of a loved one and having to list her house to get it sold. He said he could help and on a personal level spoke of his recent loss of his beautiful fur baby Ayla. I felt confident and comfortable with choosing Alex. We worked together to get through the tough stuff and we closed on the house on March 10th. The house was listed in February and after about a week and a half we had a buyer. I am very pleased with the outcome and am happy to have chosen Alex to work with us! I highly recommend him if you are looking to buy or sell your house!
