Alexandra Richards is in a league of her own. We recently closed a complex commercial acquisition in a nearly impossible 8-day escrow—specifically to meet a critical Jan 1st tax deadline. This was during the week of Christmas, and the level of unprofessionalism from the opposing side was staggering. The listing agents engaged in predatory tactics, including attempting to 'poach' us as clients for a dual agency and even sending us contracts directly while portraying themselves as our representation. They tried to impose a commission structure where we would be liable for their fees regardless of the sale. Alexandra was a titanium shield. She meticulously audited the deed, HOA/POA structures, and tenant rolls while the other side was pushing unsigned disclosures and incomplete paperwork. She caught every trap they set. If you are handling commercial assets and need an agent with an iron-clad grasp of contracts and ethics, Alexandra is the only choice.I cannot recommend Alexandra Richards highly enough for commercial representation. Navigating an 8-day escrow is a challenge; doing it during the holidays while facing unethical opposing counsel/agents is another matter entirely.

When we decided we wanted to move, I was concerned about how to find a good real estate agent, as I know that can really make or break the buying experience. We were incredibly lucky to find Alexandra as her knowledge and experience proved invaluable in so many ways. She never once tried to steer us toward buying something more expensive than we wanted and was focused on helping us determine which criteria were important to us. She ended up recommending that we look in an area that we weren’t really aware of and hadn’t even considered looking in. We ended up making an offer on a house in that area. We’ve been in our new home for about six months now and we genuinely could not be happier. During the process of purchasing our new home, we encountered things we hadn’t dealt with before, such as a septic system. Fortunately, Alexandra was familiar and was able to ask questions during the inspection that wouldn’t even have occurred to me. More than once during the buying process, she took extra steps that cost her time--even though we never would have known the difference--so that we had all the relevant information to make an informed offer. We found her to be trustworthy and knowledgeable, so much so that when it came time to sell our old home, we had Alexandra help us with that as well. She did way more than I would ever have expected in terms of helping us prepare the house for sale. I feel so lucky that we found her and would happily engage her services again if the opportunity arises.

Knowledgeable and Professional Selling a home is stressful, especially in this market challenged by interest rates and insurance woes. But Alexandra Richards was a breath of fresh air. Not only did she provide valuable market data to help price our home properly, but also had insight into what todays buyers are looking for and made suggestions for how to market our home and attract the right buyer for our home. Alexandra was persistent. When other agents said “Open houses don’t work here”, Alex worked each weekend diligently, giving her time willingly and finally proved the other agents wrong. She marketed our house in ways our previous agent had not explored, and it paid off. We received three offers in one weekend, resulting in an increase in our final sales price. We are truly grateful to Alex for her hard work on our behalf. If you want someone who understands today’s buyers and marketing methods, contact Alexandra Richards.
