TESTIMONIALS
Al assisted us with the sale of our home. Having been in the home for over 25 year, we were in need of someone to help guide us through the preparation and sale process. His understanding of the business aspects of selling was invaluable. He took the time to thoroughly understand the local market and provided regular updates to help us understand how to value our home appropriately. Al also took extra steps to creatively market the house via staging and mailings. His patience and thoughtfulness regarding the emotions involved with selling our first house were appreciated as well. His teamwork approach made the process less stressful. We would highly recommend Al to anyone looking to buy or sell in today’s market.

Al goes above and beyond in all aspects. His responsiveness is by far superior to other real estate agents. In all of our interactions he is professional and friendly. Oh, and when he asks a question he actually listens! Al provided a very detailed market evaluation when I first contacted him in December, 2014 and even though it took me months to get all of my affairs in order, he maintained the relationship without any guarantee of business. Once I was ready to list, he put the home in order with needed yard maintenance and CO sensors, performed an updated market analysis and sold the home within 40 days for above asking. Selling is an emotional roller coaster and he takes it all in stride.
Elisa Washington, Client
My husband and I wanted to sell out home within a short time frame. Though it was not the ideal situation, he listened to us and quickly assessed what needed to be done and made recommendations. He challenged me to complete my tasks while he accelerated his part. Our home was so beautiful after staging that we almost reconsidered selling. But his marketing expertise was exceptional. The brochure he made and pictures he selected to post online highlighted its value. He knew the importance of spending money on a good photographer! Al's outgoing personality served us very well in that he networked with many agents and kept in communication with them. Also unlike many agents who cater to their clients desire to ask for above market value due to emotional attachment or financial issues, Al advised against this and said it would hurt us. And in the end we had multiple offers above asking price. No agent will work harder for his clients or put in longer hours than Al to get you the desired results.
Shirlee Taki, Family
Al was our second real estate agent for the property. The first one SEEMED eager, but after 2 failed offers we began to wonder what was wrong. After giving the listing to Al we realized what a difference the right realtor can make. It started with helping us get the house ready for sale. He made multiple suggestions on what would make the property more appealing. At the open house he made a good impression on the prospective buyer. The buying agent seemed inexperienced. He helped guide the buyers and their realtor through the process. We got above listing price within a week. The buyer used a VA loan --something we had no experience with. There were multiple delays due to the complexity of the government agency and shutdowns for various government holidays. He kept in contact with the other agent and the lender and calmed us down through the stressful wait. In the end it was all worth it and it was all due to his expert touch and willingness to put in the extra effort to make it come together. To be honest through the process I had doubts that it would work --but Al came through with flying colors. I would recommend him to all. He will work HARDER than anyone for you!
