If you are looking for the consummate professional, you have found it in Alicia. The best choice we could have possibly made in hiring a real estate agent, was this woman. She commits to work all hours and days – total dedication. As a details person professionally, I really appreciated that she was always several steps ahead of me. I would never relinquish research or legwork to another, but she was there for us time and time again with vetted and trusted vendors, when needed. We were truly satisfied with our whole team! This was an investment property purchase – so we had some experience with buying a house in the past. That being said, her knowledge and ability to manage expectations would make her a great choice for a 1st time home buyer. I could see how deftly she was leading us through the process – letting us come to our own conclusions but providing the guiding light to do so. Her research skills are second to none – which gave us the ultimate negotiation power. She was so accurate in her negotiation skills that we bumped off $18 K pre-appraisal and still came in $1000 under the value. In short, Alicia is the details-oriented, savvy negotiator you want in your corner – hire her!
