“Thank you! Buying a first home is scary and stressful. Prior to working with Alicia, I tried working with another agent from a different company... and it wasnt a good fit. Alicia was the opposite of my prior experience. Alicia was great at communicating, friendly, not pushy and her energy was calming. Alicia gives you the space when your looking and points out the features that are selling/ need work. Alicia is right there with you. My time with Alicia was short and I'm sad cause I enjoyed working with her but I couldn't be more happier than to have found my first home.”
