Communication with buyer's agent was handled and coordinated in a timely manner. Listing photos were completed quickly and professionally. All documents were assembled and kept from original purchase of property.
Al is very prompt with everything he does and is very detail driven. I asked a million questions during showings and the closing process and he always explained things fully and with a smile. His knowledge of every aspect of what he does is genuinely astounding. He is incredibly professional but is very personable at the same time. He became someone I look up to in a lot of ways. Nothing was a surprise in the process, he made sure every step was outlined with a solid timeline and helped me set realistic expectations for every step. He truly went above and beyond for me and I cannot articulate how grateful I am that I had the opportunity to work with him. I would strongly recommend Al.
We've worked with Al for ~20 years, for numerous home sales and purchases, and can't recommend him highly enough. He brings decades of experience and expertise, working with his clients to successfully navigate any real estate transaction. More importantly, he is honest and a straight-shooter: you can feel 100% comfortable that he always has your best interest in mind, and he will be upfront with his recommendations. He's also a great communicator, extremely organized, reliable and always available to take calls from clients. During our most recent selling transaction, several unexpected issues popped up with the buyers and Al helped us resolve all of them, often coming to us not only with the problem but also already prepared with several solution options to present to us that could keep the sale moving forward. He also offers the power and support of the RE/MAX brand, with the ability to leverage a variety of internal resources if needed to help ensure your purchase or sale goes well. Over the many years we've worked with Al he's been more than just a Realtor, he's a trusted advisor and invaluable partner. Whether you're a first time home buyer/seller or an experienced homeowner, don't hesitate to contact Al: you will be glad you did. 100/10 recommend!
As first time buyers my husband and I felt overwhelmed. We had heard so many horror stories of dishonest realtors-- were warned they would lie, cheat, and steal to close the deal as fast as possible. Al couldn't be farther from this description. He was patient-- took the time to understand what we wanted and was so generous with his time and expertise. He was knowledgeable-- steered us away from houses with obvious red flags (cracks and water damage) and more subtle ones too-- proximity to highway sounds or industrial zoning. He managed to make a highly stressful situation actually (dare I say it?) fun. He rolled with my occasional cynical humor and our screaming children like a champ. And he got us our house! He has earned his honest reputation and forever changed our minds about realtors. We're converts and lifelong members of the Al fan club.
I am really glad my family had a friend refer us to Al, and I am happy to refer others to him. We had done some shopping around for homes with different realtors and, frankly, they gave us the “ick.” Al is a different breed. It was our first time buying a home and we were under a time crunch—our landlord was gifting the home and gave us a few weeks to relocate. We did not want a realtor who was just going to give us a flowery answer for the sake of being friendly. (Not that he isn’t friendly) We wanted someone with a strong knowledge base who could point out the things we may have missed about a house and ask the questions we did not know to ask—and that is what we got. If a house turned out to be a stinker we didn’t waste any more time on it. Al was looking out for us and not pushing us to just get a place just because of our time crunch. Al was great at identifying any potential concerns about homes we were viewing, and got to know what we really wanted and needed for a home. He was really good at responding to questions and preparing homes to view in an orderly way. He spent several Saturdays with us and our kids in tow, and now we have a beautiful place that really is the best we saw, and way better than I hoped we would get. I’m sure his tenure in this business and good relationships he has formed helped us secure the winning bid. We’re hoping we will not have to go thru this process again real soon, but if we do we’re definitely using Al.
Al is an excellent realtor. He was very informative and always on top of things. Would absolutely recommend him anyone looking to buy or sell.
I truly cannot say enough good things about Al Parker. Selling my home was such an emotional and important chapter in my life, and Al handled every part of the process with so much care, professionalism, and heart. From the very beginning, he made me feel supported, informed, and never alone in the process. He always told me, “I got you,” and those weren’t just words — his actions proved I could trust him. Al went above and beyond in every way. He was always available to answer my questions, calm my worries, and guide me through each step with patience, honesty, and confidence. His knowledge of the market, attention to detail, and genuine dedication gave me so much peace of mind during a time that could have easily felt overwhelming. What meant the most to me was that I never felt like just another client — I felt truly cared for. Al understood how much this home and this transition meant to me, and he handled it with the perfect balance of compassion and expertise. I am beyond grateful for everything he did, and I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor who is not only exceptional at what he does, but who truly cares about the people he helps.
Al was very personable and had my best interest in mind when selling my home. He freely gave his opinion and recommendation on how to stage the Home and what he felt would be best to get a quick sale. Taking his recommendations the house sold in 3 weeks. The only concern I had was Al seemed to be late for the scheduled open houses. Usually arriving 5 minutes or less before it began. But, he said he would sell the house in 30 days and he definitely surpassed that! I would absolutely recommend him as a realtor.
Al was recommended to us by friends and he went above and beyond to help us through a number of challenging issues. Al was very responsive to any questions and was willing to dive in and ask difficult questions and do whatever was necessary to make sure we got the house we wanted. I look forward to recommending Al to my friends and family.
Through the years, we have both purchased two homes and sold two homes with Al & Sandie Parker. Buying or selling a home is one of the largest financial transactions most people enter into in their lifetime. As such, it is imperative that you have an experienced realtor who truly knows the market and who can smoothly guide you through the process. In other words, you need Al & Sandie Parker! Together, they skillfully work on your behalf to ensure the most favorable outcome whether you are buying or selling. They are very attentive to detail and put forth 110%. Their efforts produce results. Our willingness and desire to work with them on four separate occasions truly says it all!
In a time when realtors come and go, Al & Sandie Parker have stood the test of time. They know the market and pull out all stops to help you get your home sold for the best price. They are strong advocates on your behalf and are very professional and helpful in every facet. Communication is paramount to them, so you always know where you are in the process. If you need anything, they are very responsive. Al & Sandie truly understand the meaning of customer service. They went above and beyond what we expected by even helping locate, check prices and secure contractors we needed. Their years of experience are such a benefit. We fully recommend them!
Al and Sandie are an incredible team! From the beginning when we were just starting to think about buying a house, they took the time to understand what we were looking for and helped us understand what the home buying process was going to be like. They were very knowledgeable about what the housing market was like, and let us know what to expect at each stage. We viewed over 20 homes, and honestly we started to get discouraged because we weren’t having much luck. I actually cried while on the phone with him, asking if this just wasn’t the right time, or if we needed to severely lower our standards to be able to get something. Al could recognize that we were losing motivation, but he wouldn’t let us give up. He worked late, made tons of calls, did lots of research, and put together another showing day, and the first house we saw that day ended up being the one we bought!! During the buying process, the sellers weren’t the easiest to work with. Al took care of everything for us. He negotiated the terms for us, and when the house appraised for less than what our offer was, he helped us navigate what to do. All the way down to closing day, when we did our final walk through, the sellers had left a bunch of stuff behind (junk, broken things under the deck, etc). Al was on it right away, calling the sellers agent to have someone come take care of it, and it was taken care of that day so we could move in and start enjoying our new home. He has truly been there for us through the whole thing, and even still while we get settled in our home, I know if we have any questions or problems he is just a call or text away. We are so grateful for Al and Sandie!!
