    Alec was very helpful. He went the extra mile to make sure all my questions were answered and needs were met. His correspondence was always very prompt. Alec got multiple quotes for the survey and saved me $1000.

    Trevor helped tremendously during the home buying process. Being a first time home buyer he did a great job with walking me through step by step and getting me prepared with buying my first house. Trevor was really knowledgeable with everything in the process. I didn’t feel blindsided by any unexpected expenses. Overall he was great to work with and very personable.

    Trevor was an exceptional realtor who made the entire home-buying process smooth, clear, and surprisingly stress-free. From the beginning, he took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and never pressured me into anything that didn’t feel right. His communication was excellent—he responded quickly, explained each step in plain terms, and always kept me updated so I never felt lost or overwhelmed. Trevor’s knowledge of the market and attention to detail were obvious in every showing and every conversation. He offered honest advice, pointed out things I wouldn’t have noticed on my own, and genuinely advocated for my best interests. When it came time to negotiate, he was confident, prepared, and incredibly effective. Thanks to his hard work, I found a home I truly love. I couldn’t have asked for a better partner in the process, and I highly recommend Trevor to anyone buying a home.

    Alex is someone who genuinely cares about his clients and goes above and beyond to deliver results. As first time home buyers we had a lot of questions, but Alex was always willing to help out and got back to us right away with the answers we needed. Every time we wanted to tour a house he got it set up immediately, and was also very honest about all the positives and negatives of each property. We really appreciated that he didn’t sugarcoat things and was very vocal about any damage/needed repairs that he spotted during each tour. He fought to get us the best deal when we made an offer to a seller, and we truly felt that he had our best interests at heart. Even after we closed on a property and started to move in, he continued to reach out and even sent over one of his technicians to look at our garage door when the seller wouldn’t give us the remote opener! He really does go above and beyond and I can’t recommend him enough!

    Trevor was outstanding! We needed to find land and we were on a deadlne. He worked hard and would not stop until he located what we needed. He is professional and so much fun to work with. Please call him.
