Alexander Cernik

I highly recommend Alex as a real estate agent. He is immediately available to communications, and very responsive and timely. Alex has information beyond his years, having understudied for some very senior and savvy agents, and not only will get back to your texts, telephone calls, and emails quickly, but share very deep insights on the market, and specific conditions in particular areas of the great National Capital Region. Alex is very responsive to emails. I highlight this, not because he is any less responsive to texts or calls, but this seems to be a rarity among middle aged real estate agents in this area. Alex provided comprehensive service and support to the sale of my home. He researched local prices, and put it into the context of larger market trends, particularly rising interest rates and a shortage of housing in the area. Alex is also very familiar with the market in Reston, Virginia. This allowed me to get more for my home than I thought. The price is very important to me, beyond raw fiscal value. I bought my home in 2006, and was underwater for more of the time I was the owner. Getting even an incremental, symbolic price increase in the final sale was important to me, and Alex made it happen. He understands what the goals of his clients are, and helps them achieve them. Alex also knew what needed to be done to get the place on the market. He has excellent contacts not only with contractors, but also professional cleaners. Alex got my place market ready within a week of recognizing the need to do so, and accomplished this task within one day at a very affordable price. During contract selection, Alex demonstrated high levels of emotional intelligence. He knew what I wanted, and very subtly guided me to the right decision, while letting me work out for myself what offer I wanted to select. And Alex ultimately works for you – he is going to support whatever you decide, but does a good job of giving advice consistent with your personal goals.
