Alex Wickham Reviews

I had superior service from Alex and would gladly recommend him to anyone. He is very honest and knowledgeable about what he does, and assisted me with the full process of buying a house.

Alex was great, always quick to respond and make appointments, recommendations and act on questions we had for him, going above and beyond to get us info, even after we purchased. He was always on time, professional, gave good advice, pointed out little things in the houses that we didn’t notice or know about. He was good at showing us houses that met our criteria and good and opening our minds to things we hadn’t considered. Alex was flexible and available and made seeing houses an easy, efficient and exciting experience.

<p>I highly recommend Alex, as a first time home buyer he was able to guide me through the process and answer all of my many questions in a very timely manor.</p>

What fears did you have about buying/selling a home, and how did I help overcome those fears? Our biggest fear was, and is the actual move. After 31 years in this house, there is a lot to do. The house isn’t perfect, naturally, so there is the work to make it ready to sell. There is the work of decluttering and getting rid of “stuff” so that we can downsize. There is the sadness of leaving neighbours who are such good friends, and a neighborhood which has so many good memories. And it’s a neighborhood that we would have liked to stay in due to nearness to so many amenities and convenience. It has a high walkability score. But there are very few bungalows in this neighbourhood and fewer still have been for sale over the past three years. And we need to make this move sooner rather than later. We can’t keep procrastinating! You gave us timelines to prepare for showings, which helped us prepare mentally and physically for selling our house. You called the new house our “dream house”, which helped put it in perspective as a good choice, or actually a near perfect choice for us. Writing out the letter for the seller was helpful in making all of the attributes of the house real. After 3 years of looking at options, there has never been one that met all our wishes. We are confident that this is a good choice for us. 2) What process did you use to select me to work with? We met you during an open house at another house on our street and we’re impressed at your promptness at following up with us and providing us with information. Your regular emails with current listings helped us to learn more about the availability of bungalows in this community. Every question we had was answered and you actively helped us search. You even went door to door in one neighborhood in which we were interested, to see if anyone was thinking of selling. 3) What did I do differently? It’s been many years since we bought or sold a house, so we’re not sure your methods are different from other agents, but you were never pushy, never impatient, and always ethical. You have responded whenever we had an interest in a home, and gave us prompt replies to questions. Your going door to door looking for potential sellers in our neighbourhood was above and beyond what we were expecting. I would hope other agents are like this! 4) How did we handle the process for you? Your team is thorough, and experienced, always helpful. 5) What would you say to someone if you were recommending my services? We would be happy to recommend you to others.

My wife and I had outgrown our rental house with our growing family. We were in the market for our first home and Alex was so patient with us. We had a lot of questions and he helped us through every step of the way. I can't thank him enough for working so hard and helping us find our dream home. We had met a few realtors but by far Alex was the best he really cared about us and our needs. I highly recommend him.
