Recently Alex helped us sell our house and purchase a new one.
Recently Alex helped us sell our house and purchase a new one. Not only was this the best real estate service I’ve personally experienced but the best overall customer service experience. Alex is second to none on response time and follow up. He would sometimes apologize if it took him 15 minutes to respond 😁. He had a great understanding of the market and we ended up selling on the high end of our expectations. They did an excellent job with the listing and got many eyes on the property. When we ran into some issues on our inspection, he was able to calm us down and he was able to come up with a reasonable solution. He is well connected and has many resources available if you should need it. He attended the inspection of our purchase and when he was notified that the roof had hail damage he had a good contractor over to the house in 20 minutes who was able to document the damage and provide a quick estimate for a new roof, which the seller ended up paying for. Thanks for everything Alex!
