As a first time buyer to the property market it was of utmost importance that my husband and I have a realtor who we felt was down to earth yet experienced enough to be able to help navigate our way through the intimidating process of finding the right property that was geared towards our needs. We initially started out with a different realtor but grew disheartened when they kept sending links to locations we had specified that we did not want to be in.  Luckily at this time, Alex happened to reach out to us with an introductory email explaining how he has helped a lot of first time buyers.  Alex's email was positive and welcoming and most importantly there was no pressure, or expectation, two things that I felt with the original realtor.  We are very happy we ended up having Alex as our realtor in the end.  Alex is approachable and friendly but has  the utmost professionalism and really has a solid grasp of knowledge and advice about buying your first property .  Alex was very patient with us as we viewed a few properties that were out of our price range but Alex was willing to take us to see them as a learning experience.  Communication wise, Alex was always very prompt with text messages, and if we sent him any questions, he was always quick in getting back to us with an answer.  Alex has a lot of experience about which locations are more desirable and one of the aspects we really liked about Alex is his Honesty! A lot of realtors are out to get you to buy buy buy but Alex would tell us if he thought a property was overpriced and not worth the money and was upfront about properties that would likely need a lot of work.  Furthermore Alex's positive attitude helped keep our spirits up about finding the right place after being outbid many times which in itself was a disheartening experience. We will be looking forward to working again with Alex in the future and I have only good things to say about Alex, I will highly recommend having him as your realtor and would be happy to suggest him to friends and family!
