Why would you choose to go with just any realtor who puts a flyer in your mailbox? Most realtors are paid exactly the same, but not all realtors are created equal. There are realtors that deliver way more value for your money. Alket exceeded my expectations. He performed above and beyond what I had previously experienced with other realtors.

I first sought out Alket at a time when I was selling my home. It had sat on the market for two months. My realtor at the time had listed my property, posted it in the weekly real estate flier, and that was it. I wasn’t getting any new viewings. I had already found a new home and put an offer on it, so I needed to sell my current house as soon as possible. I was frustrated and feeling anxious.
At our first meeting, Alket reviewed the prices of the surrounding homes, compared to the listing price of my home. I was surprised that homes in my area had been listed and sold for less than the price of mine. My listing was based on advice from my existing realtor. She had told me what my house was worth and I liked the answer (because it was a higher number than I had expected).
But, often in life the answer that you like and the real truth don’t always align.
In retrospect, I had chosen my realtor because she was very pleasant and had quoted my home to be a high value.
One of the things I like about Alket is that he tells you like it is. In our initial meeting, he suggested a price adjustment that was more in-line with compramble homes. To be honest, I did’t like this advice. In my head I had already accepted that my home was worth more. But when I looked at the market conditions, it was clear that Alket had done his homework.
Alket was clear that he would list the home for whatever value I wanted, but he was also clear on what he thought was a better listing price. In the end, it is always the home owner’s choice. I couldn’t refute the fact that the surrounding homes were listed for less, and were selling. My primary goal was selling my home for a decent price. I ended up listing with Alket for the price he suggested.
Alket walked through my home with me and made suggestions on changes that would make my home look better. Many things were just small changes, again I was reluctant, but I was willing to do whatever I could.
Alket had a team of professionals who worked to promote my home. He created a video and marketing materials that were eye-catching and were way better than any others I had seen. Alket generated more interest in my house and I had many new viewings right away.
My house sold in two weeks for very close to the asking price.
Alket is a true professional who delivers results.
He has now represented me in the purchase/sale of four homes. I will be using him for my future real estate transactions.

Sara, Thank you for such a detailed and thoughtful review. I truly appreciate you sharing your journey, and I’m honoured to have been a part of it.
Real estate is about so much more than just listing a home, it’s about trust, strategy, and having honest conversations, even when they’re tough. I’m glad we were able to work through the challenges together, and I’m especially happy that the result was a successful sale and ultimately, peace of mind for you.
I’m grateful for the continued trust over these four transactions, and I’m always here when you need me for the next one.
