There is nothing better than receiving sincere thanks from my clients for a job well done. Some of my clients have shared their thoughts with you below.

Alex is a phenomenal realtor, and a really great person. We were introduced to him by friends who were impressed by his skills, in-depth knowledge of the market and incredible helpfulness after the purchase of their home in finding multiple contractors to do a lot of work at their new home. After working with him, we became even more impressed since he has the inside scoop on pre-listed homes, he can accurately estimate the cost of repairs and upgrades (essential for this market since so many homes need work), and he even hooks you up with great contractors to do the work. He's also incredibly knowledgeable about 1031 exchanges since he's done them for himself and his clients. I really appreciate the fact that he's proactive and constantly networking for his clients, checking out houses on broker tour on our behalf, talking with other agents about upcoming listings and discussing sales to develop an accurate read on current market conditions. Everyone in the realty community seems to love Alex, so he's got solid relationships, which helps him get deals done smoothly with other realtors on behalf of his clients - that makes a huge difference and sets him far apart from other realtors. Even in a highly fluctuating market, he's been able to accurately estimate what a winning bid will be, and where there's opportunity for a bargain. Most of all, he truly cares about his clients and their needs, and takes the time to understand exactly what his clients find important in their house hunt, even when clients have trouble articulating it. I'm blown away by his talents, professionalism, the results he was able to get for us, his help throughout the process and even after the close, and how much he really cares about us and our happiness. He truly goes way above and beyond what we've experienced with other realtors. Alex found the exact right house for us, in a great location, under our budget price, and helped us get it done with a complicated 1031 exchange process. Even though we've already closed, he's still helping us by connecting us with contractors for upgrades, and even helping us rent out the house without any commission. He's a truly special person, a really great guy, and an exceptional realtor. I wish there were more people like Alex in this world!

I have known and worked with Alex over 25 years. He is one of the most professional and knowledgeable Agents in our market. We recently closed a Sale when Alex represented Buyers on my listing. It was a competitive situation but Alex advised his Buyers wisely and guided them through a seamless transaction. My Seller and I were greatly impressed with the happy outcome for all parties.

We’ve worked with Alex twice now- first to purchase a home, then to sell a home. Alex is not only highly knowledgeable of the Santa Cruz area and housing market, but a genuinely nice person that has made the home purchasing and selling process as pleasant as possible. Alex quickly picked up on my husband and my style for interaction. He was patient and resourceful, but assertive when needed to jump on the right opportunities. We were particularly impressed and grateful with Alex’s guidance during our recent home resell, as we placed our home up for sale right as the recent market bubble started to show signs of uncertainty. We recommend Alex to friends and family, and will certainly work with him in the future!

Alex was great to work with. He was great in communicating what we needed & guiding us throughout the process. We are very happy with the final result in purchasing our home.

We worked with Alex for about 9 months before we bought our home. The market was crazy high, inventory was low but Alex was able to guide us through the experience with his knowledge of the area, his relationship with other realtors, contractors and locals to make the experience a very positive one for our family. We have come to know him as a friend and will continue to use him for any Real Estate issues and recommend him to friends. Thank you Alex!

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.

Alex worked with my wife and I to buy our first home. He made the process incredibly easy for us and was super responsive to all our questions and on top of everything that needed to be taken care of to process our transaction.

If you are in the market for a home in the Santa Cruz area, I cannot recommend Alex enough. He’s an absolute pleasure to work with.

We are first-time home buyers, and honestly, Alex made the process as easy and smooth as possible. We would work with him again in a heartbeat and recommend him to anyone looking to buy in the Santa Cruz area.
