Alex is an experienced, knowledgeable, responsive, and hard working real estate professional. He worked with us for a year to buy the perfect home for us on the west side of Santa Cruz. He has an extensive background in real estate both as an agent and personal investor that was very helpful in assisting us to make a fully informed decisions that we felt confident about and getting our deal done. He has great connections with all of the other top agents, mortgage brokers, local contractors in all trades, and he didn't hesitate to proactively engage in preliminary record searches at the County. Alex was never pushy, yet always available and responsive right away when we had questions or inquiries about properties. I can't thank Alex enough and haven't hesitated referring him to colleagues, friends and family.
