Detail-oriented, Organized, & Professional

Hi Alexis
I wanted to send you a quick note with my strong recommendation for you to share with potential clients:
My husband Zach and I just closed on our first house last week and we are just so excited to be homeowners! Alexis was the perfect realtor for us every step of the way. From the beginning, we could tell that she is very detail-oriented, organized, and professional. We were hoping to find someone of this caliber, and we instantly knew we were in good hands. What we didn�t expect was how she went above and beyond her expected roles and responsibilities and treated us as friends and partners in the home buying process. She was very personable, friendly, and open with us through it all. She not only handled every step of the process like a pro, she made it fun!
We were honest with her about what we wanted in a home and she locked into that very easily. She even picked up on things we hadn�t even really discussed because she was so in tune with us, our hobbies, our jobs, our dreams, etc. She saved us a lot of time by narrowing down the market, but she was always open to show us anything we asked to see. She did her research and she listened closely to our input, and as a result, we found our perfect home very quickly.
As first time homebuyers, we had no idea what we were in for. As the deal progressed, the negotiations grew more complicated, and the paperwork just kept coming, Alexis was cool, calm, and very reassuring. She worked constantly to keep the deal moving, solve problems that came up, and keep us informed every step of the way. We called and emailed her with questions and concerns several times a week and she always got right back to us with an explanation or a solution. She not only handled every detail like a pro, she held our hand through the process and kept us optimistic and excited.
We got the keys a few days ago and can�t wait to start painting and moving and living in our dream home. Alexis provided us with several referrals for contractors and I know I can always give her a call if I have any questions or need help with anything. We were in good hands the whole time and we know we�ll keep in touch with her even though the papers are all signed. I highly recommend choosing Alexis as your realtor- she will help make this home buying process everything it should be!
Please call or email me if you want to ask any questions or get more detail, we understand that doing this kind of research is important and would love to help out. Thanks for your time!

Sincerely,
Jen Barnes

The Sale of Our House Was A Miracle!

Alexis,

A huge thank you for all your efforts to get us out of Foxwood!
It was a heroic effort for all of us and we appreciate everything.
Your gift of cleaning the house was frosting on the cake, but so much more deserves to be appreciated. Your beautiful online and printed materials, your dogged determination to help us set the right price, your moral support, your gathering all the information from Autumn Hill HOA, your encouragement and never give up attitude, the many supportive coffee conferences, and the endless paperwork. All deserve praise and gratitude.

Mostly for sticking with us when the going got sticky - we feel the sale of our house was a miracle and you were an angel in the process. I hope all your other properties turned out as well.

We have made it to Mexico through a marathon of moving, but we are here and warm and done with moving for a very long time.

If you ever need a reference, I will sing your praises.
With appreciation and hugs,
Jesse

Short Sale Home

Alexis Halmy is my idea of a great Realtor. She helped my husband and I through the difficult path of purchasing a short sale home. Throughout the process she was on top of everything, including bringing me chicken soup when I was ill! Alexis is smart, friendly, prompt, dedicated and goes far beyond the call of duty to meet her client's goals.

Tricky Transaction

Alexis was instrumental in helping me find the perfect house for my needs. She knows the Portland market very well, and her real estate expertise made a tricky transaction go very smoothly. She kept me well informed as we went through the process, and helped me understand the implications of all the various decisions that were made.
I highly recommend her as an experienced real estate broker and will utilize her expertise the next time I buy or sell a home. And we had fun too!

Extraordinary Real Estate Agent

Alexis Halmy is an extraordinary real estate agent. Her marketing efforts led to a sale of my home in 65 days in the middle of a recession, capturing the best features of the house with beautiful photography and printed material and holding well-timed open houses. Alexis was an excellent liaison in all aspects of the sale; and I appreciated her direct and honest feedback when I needed help during the process.

Incredibly Hard Working!

Alexis is an incredibly hard working real estate agent. She goes above and beyond to solve challenging deals while keeping her clients well informed. We will definitely work with her again.

Amazing Agent!

Alexis is an amazing agent! When I was hired by Legacy, HR gave me a couple real estate references and I obtained a couple more from family in the area. After talking to all of them, it became clear that Alexis was the only choice. Her knowledge, service, and attention to detail are all top notch. I had some specific needs and was pretty finicky about what would be acceptable, and oh, by the way, I wanted good deal too. Alexis met my needs and exceeded my expectations.

From Listing to Closing in 4 Months!

It was a pleasure to work with Alexis and have her by our sides throughout the entire process, from listing to closing - all in a matter of less than four months - fantastic in this current market! And it all went without a hitch, thanks to the many professional connections Alexis has made (including a handyman to replace our smoke detectors). Thank you, Alexis.

Saved Us Thousands in Repairs!

Last year, we had the pleasure of working with Alexis Halmy to purchase our first home in Portland. We were moving from out of state, with limited time to visit Portland. Alexis was accommodating, communicative, and available whenever we needed her, readily working with us to seek answers and solve problems.

Her advice in selecting inspectors and additional optional inspections meant that we went into the deal thoroughly understanding the condition of the property. As a result, we have had no surprises, despite having bought a 100-year old house that had been neglected, abused, and abandoned. She has also gone beyond her duty in purchasing us a home warranty package that has (so far) saved us thousands of dollars in repairs.

Our home purchase was a real estate transaction where the headaches didn't stop until months after closing. Alexis had to deal with truly unprofessional, irresponsible, and irrational behavior on the part of the listing agent, her assistant, and the asset manager of the bank that owned the property. We had delays of several months in closing. Throughout the ordeal, she showed patience and tenacity, and she kept us appropriately updated via phone and email even through her vacation. We would highly recommend her to friends and family, and indeed we have already.

Sincerely,

Dan Carlson & Teng Ji
