This is the second time that we’ve used Alex’s services. His professionalism and responsiveness make him the stand out property professional in Harrogate. Nothing is too much trouble, from arranging a decorator to do some final touch ups to negotiating a delicate problem with a lease, Alex was brilliant.

An excellent professional service from Alex from start to finish. He achieved a speedy, hassle-free off-market sale of my commercial premises in a short period of time. He was diligent and proactive throughout the sale process and delivered a faultless outcome.

Working with Alex has been an absolute pleasure to say the least. Illustrating years of knowledge that he has gained throughout his experience of working in the property industry Alex has made what normally could be a stressful process a breeze- the transaction ran smoothly from start to finish, was hands on throughout and was easy to contact as and when needed. I couldn't recommend his services enough.

Alex helped us to find our first flat and I cannot recommend his services highly enough. He helped us through every step of the purchase of our property: working out what our requirements were, narrowing down and viewing a selection of matches, and ultimately securing a flat that we are very happy with.As first time buyers, we naturally had a lot of questions throughout the process, and Alex was extremely helpful and always available to talk things through. Highly recommended, a great service all round.

If you are struggling with your estate agent or had a bad experience in the past selling your home then you should get in touch with Alex. He will help you choose the right estate agent for you and get the best out them by liaising with them making sure they are doing all they can for you. The best part is the estate agents pays for Alex not you.
