GET STARTED

Alex was the realtor we didn’t know we needed. We moved to the PNW in 2017. We didn’t know neighborhoods and we wanted to explore Seattle and the East Side (Bellevue/Kirkland). We had no idea what to look for in a home beyond layout like type of siding, basement foundations, the type of “dirt” as  Alex would say. Alex took time, energy, and effort to educate us on our home purchase and to help us make a truly informed decision. He spent many hours driving us around at our request and walking through each home and neighborhood in detail. He was a dream for people from the area or newly located here. At the end of the day he will help you buy “good dirt” and a place to call home 🙂

I’ve used Alex to buy and sell my last 3 houses. He was excellent in every transaction. With my latest house, the one I still love, he was very strategic and and did an excellent job presenting (in-person) with the seller. I ended up with the house in a competitive market. Alex was key, and  I’ll use him again when the time comes. A great agent

So glad I went with Alex Black, worth every penny. We sold in a day, I would strongly recommend him.

Alex is the best real estate agent ever! We have purchased 3 houses from him, and sold 2 using his services as well. We bought our first home with Alex nearly 20 years ago! We have referred him to all of our friends who have worked Alex to buy and sell many properties. Every time a Real Estate Agent was need our friends always returned to Alex, just as we have. Alex is very trusted. We are all happy.

With our most recent purchase Alex was a true hero! When we bought our current house, we had a loan problem at the end… We used an online loan company and it was a terrible experience and completely fell apart just days before the close. It was the best house and we really wanted it after we saw 20-30 houses… We were so bummed… The seller was really unhappy and we thought we could not close. Then Alex!! He used his great connections and introduced us the wonderful loan officer immediately who was able to promise us a close within just a couple of weeks. He also used his amazing communication skills to the seller’s agent and was able to convince the Seller to wait for us so that we could close the transaction after a couple of weeks. He really saved our life!!

We highly recommend him. He is a very established well known agent. It is a huge plus that he has great connections and accesses to lots of people and he is very trusted from people.

Thank you, Alex!!

Alex helped us sell both our homes, prior to getting married and then helped us find our dream home together. We have been in our current home for almost 10 years and haven’t regretted one moment of our interaction with Alex on all of our dealings. Any friend, family, or colleague who is looking to buy or sell, I always recommend Alex to them as he goes above and beyond for his clients

Alex sold our home after a deal had failed to go through. He came in, told us exactly what he could do, and followed through. We closed a sale with a new buyer about a month later. Alex knows what he’s talking about, is easy to talk to, and doesn’t make false promises. If we ever need to  sell or buy a house, we’ll use him again.

Thank you SO much for your amazing service and support.  Alex and team LOVE what they do and this makes them phenomenal, individually and as a team. They were pivotal in the transformation of my sister & brother in law’s well loved family home to a beautifully-staged, market-ready house! Their crews were prompt, efficient, communicative, and professional. This all resulted in their home selling for way above the listed price. We highly recommend Alex and team!

Milissa H.

Alex was a fantastic help in getting our home. No one knows Seattle better than he does, and he helped us think through renovations, locations, and how much space we actually needed. He kept us from making bad decisions (especially when I fell in love with a house that was too small for us, or another one that was on subpar dirt). It matters less to me than his critical content knowledge, but given that we spent a lot of time with him, it helps that he is fun to be around. Five stars!!

Elizabeth H.

These guys are AMAZING! Alex and team really are an outstanding, professional, and talented group. They sold our awesome, yet slightly dysfunctional oddity of a house in 6 days! They were an absolute pleasure to work with. They staged our house beautifully and kept us looped in throughout the whole process. If you are looking to sell your home, CALL THESE PEOPLE!!!

Eric S.

Alex is the best, he helped us buy and sell our first home even during the Covid market. We learned so much from him about making a good investment and he went above and beyond during our sale in these difficult times.

I call him the Sherlock Holmes of real estate, he has a genius level knowledge of the Seattle market with a highly detailed approach to finding good real estate. He is frank and honest. The buying process with him made us better home owners, we learned how to care for our investment and improve the value.

Some real estate agents will just say anything could be a fit for you – to try to push you into buying, but Alex truly listens and helps you find your bliss. I would happily buy or sell with Alex again.

Brooke D.

Excellent team! They go far and beyond to find the perfect home for you! Fully knowledgeable and educated on current market trends and everything there’s to know about homes! From foundations, non/curable assets to different market types (investment, multi-homes, single homes, etc…); they have all covered end-to-end!

Arman K.

Selling a home is no easy feat. We interviewed a few realtors and the minute we met Alex and team, we knew it was a great match. They staged our home perfectly, the landscaping was thorough and beautiful. The professional photos turned out far better than we could have expected. The house sold quickly and for much more than we would have anticipated when we first started down this venture. This team exceeded our expectations and we can’t wait to begin looking for our next home to purchase with this great group by our side.

Stephanie R.

These guys are the best! They made the stressful task of selling our house a breeze! No complaints at all!!! Only praise!!!

Alex and team have a refreshing business model. They do not negotiate commissions, but instead offer extensive services for free: house cleaning, landscape tidying, help moving furniture, window washing, and pressure washing of a patio, in my case. They were not at all pushy and set the value of my place, which sold for full price, well above a local competitor. Jacob also help arrange for a plumber to fix a sink drain that needed repair before the sale. I couldn’t be happier, and am recommending them to my friends.

Sold in 2016

Our house was on the busy street…there was no parking…but they sold our house in two days!! Staging, landscaping, and amazing photos were all included.

It was such a great experience working with Alex and team. They are really patient, smart, knowledgeable, and always on time!! They communicate really well too.

At one point, we were not able to close the new house (our fault…), but they helped us immediately using their connections and everything became fine. Amazing. This was out third time working with Alex. All our friends worked with them too. They are all satisfied with their services. We highly recommend well experienced Alex and team. Thank you so much, guys!!

Erik

We’ve had the opportunity to work with Alex and team on several home sales (two) and purchases (two) going back to 2007 and they’ve always been a please to work with. Highly recommended.

Alex and team will be our go-to agents and “everything house” support system. Alex helped my fiance and I to get educated on the Seattle market, leveraging his 20+ years experience in this industry and life-long resident of the city. We trusted Alex to be transparent and honest about pros/cons, and what to consider not only when buying a house but for resale value as well. The best part about Alex and his whole team is how they went out of their way to help support us in any of our needs or questions.

As first-time homebuyers they helped with everything from referring us to recommended vendors/contractors (which scored us a carpet discount!) to tips on remodeling, landscaping, and beyond. Alex even came all the way back to our house in West Seattle when he got in on a morning ferry, to pick up a dresser that our movers mistakenly picked up when we moved out of an apartment complex, and Alex offered to take it himself all the way to Redmond to drop it off at the rightful owner’s new house. Who does that!?? His team made us feel not only like special clients, but also as friends. We will definitely use Alex for any future housing sale/purchase needs, and highly recommend him to anyone on the market. Thank you so much Alex!!

Liz S.

Alex and team have tremendous knowledge and expertise in the local real estate market. Their advice and guidance was always pin-point accurate and up-to-date. They are honest, reliable, and highly responsive. Helped me find and buy the perfect house in record time. Highly recommended.

Bought in 2014

We used Alex and team to purchase our first home, and then to sell the same house four years later. Despite the fact that the transactions took place in very different times in terms of market prices, inventory, etc., Alex and team handled both very well. Had we not moved out of state, we would have used them again to purchase our new house as well. I recommend them to friends, family, and strangers every chance I get!

Bought and sold in 2009

I cannot begin to imagine buying or selling without this team!

FIND OUT MORE

The entire team are absolutely amazing! My husband and I were looking for a home last year and Alex and team cease to amaze me. We were referred to Alex and team from a friend who had also used them and highly praised them. We had no idea what exactly we were looking for but Alex and team took the time to teach us about Seattle (we were transplants), the types of homes in Seattle, what to look for in terms of retaining value, as well as all aspects of the mortgage process.

We looked at tons of homes, not because they weren’t good at their job, but because we had time and were waiting for the perfect home and a great deal. Alex and team let us know if they thought there was something we would be interested in, but we also were doing our own research daily and they would take us to any home we wanted to see. They were available the same day to see homes with us, when they would go on the market that morning. They never pressured us in any way and stuck with us for the long haul (and trust me, we were EXTREMELY demanding and took up a lot of their time).

I would recommend them without reservation to anyone I know. We ended up getting a fantastic home in a perfect Greenlake location and paid $30,000 than it appraised for. I could not ask for anything better. Some day, when I plan on moving away and selling this amazing home, I will be using Alex and team for their expertise and amazing services.

Bought and sold in 2010

Was worried it would take months, multiple offers, endless stress to buy a house in Seattle’s hot market. Alex and team landed us our dream fixer upper on our first offer. Dependable, respectful, knowledgeable, and friendly. Would definitely recommend them! Thank you so much for everything you’ve done for us.  You really run a very high-class act  and we will be sure to refer you to people we know will be looking to sell or buy in the future.  I can’t tell you how much we appreciated the seamless transition between [your team] and how much stress you helped relieve on several occasions.

The Rieds

My husband and I had wanted to move closer to our jobs for some time but were overwhelmed by what that entailed – the “fixing up” our old home needed, the prospect of living in a staged home with a child and dog, and knowing we couldn’t sell it for what we owed. We met with with Alex and team, who were so positive throughout the tour of our home. After listening to our ultimate goal and our reservations about starting the process, they proposed a scenario that made so much sense.

And they do so much! They cleaned the entire house. Our hardwoods looked like they had been refinished. They cleaned up the yard. They repainted much of the trim. The day our home went on the market, they sent us the professional photos they’d done, and we were speechless. The staging what phenomenal!

We had activity within the first hour out home was on the market and we had a full price offer within four days. There was not one glitch throughout the entire process. The signing of all the documents and addendum (except closing documents) were done electronically (I was able to “sign” from my phone!). They were incredibly responsive. Our questions were answered immediately. And they are all just really nice, easy to talk to people. 

We trusted their advice and never regretted it. It was clear that their game plan was based on what my husband and I wanted to achieve. The company they brought in to negotiate our short sale and handle escrow was fantastic as well. If we were able to go back and do it again, we would not change a thing. 

If you’re interested in selling, even if your think selling is not an option for you, given them a call. They are wonderful!

Sold in 2012

Excellent service from Alex and team. My home had been on the market for over a year in a really hot market, they came in and provided full service and received a top dollar offer for my home.

Chad

THANK YOU!!!!! I’m still somewhat stunned that this actually worked out so well. Given the plummeting property values and a dicey economy, I consider myself extremely fortunate to end up in the position I Find myself in. Your ability to handle all of the moving parts (and there were a lot of them in the end) is truly commendable. I also want to tank you for your participation at the finish to get this deal done. Again, thank you for your help.
