In this market, trying to find the right house is a stressful venture, where you have limited time to find, visit, and evaluate a potential new home. Alicia taught us what we needed to know so we could filter available options more precisely, so we only spent our precious time on houses that would actually be a good fit for us. When we got frustrated, she was there with a smile and encouragement and ready and willing to meet us somewhere the following day. Some of that you get with just about any agent you could choose. Where Alicia is different (better) than other agents is the most crucial component of buying a house: making an offer and closing the deal. Not every agent excels at negotiations, at crafting an offer that can entice a seller into selecting you among a pile of offers. There's nothing more discouraging when seeking a new home than finding the right one and then seeing it slip through your fingers, especially if your agent didn't take all the steps she or he could to ensure you and your offer were in the best position possible to win. I recommend Alicia to anyone and everyone; family and friends. She is great to work with. Maintains a positive attitude. Works night and day to make your search successful. And when you find the right one, she gives you the best odds to close, even if your offer might not be the highest.
