Working with Alex was such a pleasure! We were fairly new to Victoria and he came highly recommended by a family friend. He spent a long time with us on an initial call talking through all the areas of the city and was so knowledgeable. All told we saw about 6 properties together, and he always came so prepared with details. He was so helpful in the properties explaining details to us and keeping an eye out for potential issues. Alex really listened to what we wanted for our family and would be more critical of listings than us, with our best interests at heart. We were all really impressed with one home, and when it came to a bidding war he offered great advice on perceived value and where to draw the line… so we lost out on that property, only to find one the following week which we loved even more. Alex also helped us to win out on that bidding war and then hooked us up with a great team of mortgage advisors, inspector etc. So friendly, always quick to respond, and really made the whole process exciting and easy. What more could you ask for?! Thanks for helping us finally find the family home we were hoping for. - Caitlin D

Note we have bought & sold 26 houses(13 moves). We have had a range of agents, Alex is top tier. Why? Under promises, over delivers. Sounds obvious, not always true HE RETURNS HIS PHONE CALLS, He listens, non judgemental, gives you the downsides of a property/area not just features/benefits. Downside, he’s young, for an older demographic like us, we might tend to dismiss a young agent, but in this case don’t. He was well brought up & once you work with him he will be your last agent. One more thing people sometimes overlook, & keep this in mind is the agents ability to negotiate with other agent at the negotiating stage. Here he shines once more. As you consider this very important decision make sure ALEX HUGHES is in the mix, you won’t regret it. Ps my wife wants to adopt him - Deborah Clegg

I really enjoyed working with Alex as we navigated through this latest transition in our lives. Buying a new home is very stressful and Alex's professionalism and personal touch made the process go very smoothly. His integrity was one of his qualities with which he earned our trust. - Colin Cameron

We were referred to Alex Hughes by our selling realtor and he delivered exceptionally for us in buying a home. He was extremely responsive and listened to what we were after. He went above and beyond our expectations by giving us true market insight and made us a priority to get a good quality home in a short period of time. I highly recommend Alex for buying or selling your home. - Joel bilodeau

As newcomers to Canada, buying our first home on the island was both an exciting and daunting experience. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found Alex & Ricki from North Pacific Homes. The exceptional service and dedication made our home-buying journey seamless. Their market knowledge was evident, and they took the time to share their expertise with us, helping us understand the nuances of the local market and overall process. We can wholeheartedly recommend Alex and Ricki from North Pacific Homes to anyone looking to buy or sell property. Their helpfulness, friendliness, and deep knowledge of the market make them an outstanding choice for anyone in need of real estate services. Thank you, Alex and Ricki, for making our home-buying and selling journey a positive and memorable one! - Katie Tibbetts

My family had the pleasure of working with Alex Hughes as our realtor during the process of buying a house in Victoria, BC. Unlike some realtors we've encountered in the past, Alex always put our needs first and foremost - he's genuine, friendly and lacks ego, but has the knowledge, assertiveness and determination needed to advocate on his clients' behalf. He listened attentively to our preferences and concerns, he was always responsive, honest and transparent, and this ensured that we felt supported through every step of the process. I cannot recommend Alex highly enough as a realtor. His professionalism and commitment to his clients' best interests make him an invaluable asset to have on your side. Thank you Alex for helping us find our perfect home in Victoria! - joy

I highly recommend Alex, he is professional, friendly, respectful, knowledgeable and always available for any questions. He made this process easy despite a lot of back and forth with the buyers and I appreciated his proactive approach, which ultimately proved successful. I am extremely happy that he approached me after my last realtor gave up on me and the property, when it didn't sell initially. He also helped me buy my next home, and I am happy to pass on his name to anyone of my friends who need a realtor! - Regine Klein

Wow, I couldn't have been happier with my decision to work with Alex. From the beginning, Alex was super professional and clearly demonstrated his commitment to his craft. He's got experience from the building materials side of real estate which ended up coming in very handy when we were touring condo buildings as he was able to actually explain how the buildings are built and what to look for when you're reviewing strata docs to see if something is a good buy or not. He also knew Victoria's real estate market super well (both the macro trends and the micro trends). Alex is very thorough and strikes the perfect balance in giving you his perspective and recommendation but ultimately leaving you completing in control to make an informed decision that's right for you. It's perfect because we didn't waste any time and were able to navigate the home search in a way that not only felt efficient but really wound us up finding the perfect place - Alex unequivocally puts his clients needs first over absolutely anything (which was especially evident when he went up to bat for us in some last minute negotiations during hours leading up to our offer and removing subjects - Alex was a pro at helping us navigate this and can't think of anybody who would have done a better job advocating for us and ultimately getting us very favourable terms in the negotiation!) Overall, can't recommend highly enough - driven, motivated, smart, a joy to work with, knows his shit, SUPER responsive/quick, and is there to do what's best for you always. What else could you want! 10/10 - Mathew Mosveen

Alex was exceptional in every category! Professional, attentive, excellent communicator and negotiator, tireless worker. He was pleasant & courteous at all times, easy to deal with. We had some challenging issues and he navigated them extremely well and successfully. I would recommend him to others without reservation. - Janet tidmarsh

Alex was excellent to work with. We were very satisfied with his knowledge and expertise as he guided us through our year-long purchase process. As a result of his positive, low-pressure, and personable approach, we look forward to working with him again in the future! - Mark M

Alex is absolutely wonderful to work with. He was thorough, professional and cares passionately about his job. He explained everything in a way that was easy to understand and helped us every step of the way. I would highly recommend Alex for your real estate needs. - Wendy Reid

Alex was so helpful and a true professional. He walked us through every step of the process and was so knowledgeable. He was super patient with us as we had a ton of questions moving from out of province but he took the time and made our dreams come true! - John Rush

Alex was so helpful as we were searching for our first home. We were new to the area and he worked with us to understand what the market was currently like, how it may change, and showed us around the many different areas we were considering to live in. He was resourceful and patient while not pressuring us to make a purchase. Our process ended up taking a few months and he was there with us throughout the entire time. We are so grateful for his support and will recommend him to everyone! - Jazmin Holdway

Alex went above and beyond throughout the selling/buying process. His online presence generated interest and a consistent stream of potential buyers, and he made sure to keep us updated regardless of what was going on. Thanks Alex! - Daniel & Jamie

Alex was a great resource navigating the process and finding listings. A trusted friend recommended him, and I’d recommend to friends and family without hesitation. Thanks Alex, I appreciate the help. Derek - Derek

Alex was referred to of us by our selling agent back home. We moved from Ontario to BC and trying to buy and sell in the current market shift this past year things were difficult and challenging. Nonetheless, having the recommendation to work with Alex made our home buying experience a positive one! Alex was always available, professional, and flexible. He went above and beyond meeting our every request no matter how big or how small and exceeded our expectations. He made moving into a brand new home, in a new province comforting and always provided us his honest opinion. Alex knew the areas very well and provided us with knowledge of what was around the communities as we could no explore for ourselves. If he didn’t have an answer, he’d get it. Besides loving our new home and this beautiful province, Alex was the next best thing to making this move happen. Would highly recommend. - Jayme Simzer

Buying a house - especially a single family home - in the current market is incredibly stressful, and Alex's professionalism, knowledge (background in construction industry) and excellent recommendations helped us get through a difficult process with minimal frustration. We are so impressed with how hard he works for his clients, his availability and communication, and most of all his integrity. We really trusted that he on our side. Alex stayed cool and calm through all the emotional ups and downs, helped to carefully evaluate what would be a good offer, and when to walk away. Never once did he pressure us to up our bid, or risk going unconditional with an offer. He reassured us that more houses would come on the market and stuck with us till we managed to get our ideal home. Thank you Alex for your dedication and support. - Catherine Kuipers
