“Alex is not only the most knowledgeable realtor we know, his attention to detail, his skill as a negotiator, his understanding of human nature, and his tenacity, as well as his marketing savvy, certainly make him a one-in-a-million resource.”

“I will shout from the rooftops forever how incredible of a realtor Allison is. The amount of dedication, patience, and charisma she gave our entire house buying process was other worldly. She has such a knack for truly understanding her clients and meeting everyone’s different needs. I know people always say this, but she truly cares about you! She talked us out of situations that weren’t in our best interest and always gave us the real deal. Our house buying journey was a very bumpy road and we were up against a ton of obstacles but Allison held our hand the entire way through, and did everything in her power to get us into the home of our dreams. Seriously, she showed up for us 110% and really cared about setting us up for lifelong financial success. Not only was her professionalism top-notch but she also took on so many other roles from guiding us emotionally and strategizing late into the night on many occasions. I would trust her with my life – that is how close we became during this journey. She is hands down the best in the game, and she will not let you down.”

“Alex sold our home in three weeks in a tough, rapidly falling real estate market in Seattle. He made suggestions for simple improvements that dramatically increased the home’s appeal, then created the best sell sheet I’d ever seen. He knew the marketing strengths of our neighborhood better than we did, generating a lot of traffic of qualified buyers. He understood how to price our home, and navigated a tricky multiple offer situation that ultimately resulted in a sale for more than we had hoped for.”

“Let me start off by saying I am not one to write reviews. I have probably written three in my entire life. But Allison is incredible at what she does and absolutely deserves a review.”

“I have always recommended Alex and I can not think of a moment I would choose otherwise. Alex is by far the most attentive and genuinely concerned agent I have ever worked with and in my line I have worked with countless ‘highly recommended’ agents. Combined they could only hope to acquire the respect and confidence I found with him.”

“I can’t speak highly enough of Alex and his team. They helped us navigate an insane housing market during our first home purchase, and made us feel informed and supported at every step… Alex could have taken the easy commission and written up the paperwork, but he had taken the time to get to know us… In the end, we wound up finding the perfect house, and Alex’s responsiveness was key here too.”

“Alex is THE BEST! He is on top of his game, timely in his responses and incredibly knowledgeable. He was able to provide valuable information on all the houses we looked at so that I was informed and making the right decision… I appreciated his professional and strategic approach in the contract process and was happy with the way he represented me… I cannot recommend him enough!”

“I truly don’t think I would be a homeowner today if it weren’t for Allison.”

“Alex is awesome. Our family has worked with him and the team on 8 different occasions and he’s always been helpful, knowledgeable and responsive to our needs.”

“Alex is amazing! We are so fortunate to have had him as our realtor during both our buying and selling process. He is extremely knowledgeable and great at what he does. Cannot recommend him enough!”

I truly never thought I’d be able to buy my own home after my divorce three years ago as a single mother. But Allison Arney made the impossible possible. She helped me get creative with different mortgage brokers and walked me through every step with patience, expertise, and genuine care. Just two weeks ago, my son and I moved into our new home and we are absolutely in love! My kiddo especially loves the swing in the backyard, and seeing his joy every day reminds me how grateful I am for Allison’s dedication. She was a huge champion for us, always in our corner, and I can’t thank her enough for making this dream a reality.

“Alex was the most objective and helpful real estate agent with whom I’ve ever had the pleasure to work. He was extremely flexible in adjusting his schedule to meet ours… His assistance continued through our entire purchase process… even to the point of picking up our keys for us.”

“Real Haus Group went above and beyond helping us prepare our condo to sell and made the entire process VERY easy. They had a well-researched plan informed by strong knowledge of the area, and the results speak for themselves: we sold after only 4 days on the market, and for more than asking!”

“To say Allison went above and beyond to make our home purchase happen is an understatement. We knew she was ‘the one’ to get us ‘the one’ from the moment we first spoke to her. She not only understood us as people but was always willing to make suggestions that guided us even during our most misguided of moments. I can’t begin to thank her enough for finding our dream home and working to make it happen. Not only is she a standout realtor, but she’s also one of the nicest, most genuine people I’ve ever meet. Thank you Allison!”

“We cannot recommend Alex more highly. We worked with Alex as we searched for a home over the course of 2 or 3 years. He was exceptionally patient as we toured home after home; we must have called him out for at least 2 dozen different tours… When we finally had an offer accepted, Alex stuck with us throughout the closing period doing everything he could to make the process run smoothly.”

“I couldn’t be happier with Allison, and the experience of selling my home. She came prepared with a thoughtful, personalized plan to maximize what I’d walk away with, and it worked. They clearly knew the market and took the time to understand my situation rather than offering a one-size-fits-all approach. The whole process felt smooth and stress-free thanks to their guidance. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely goes the extra mile to get you the best outcome, look no further. Highly recommend!”

“Alex was extremely thorough in his research of the market/neighborhood that we were looking to buy in. He really went the extra mile in delivering an offer that was acceptable. We could rely on him everyday. He even checked up on us when he was on vacation in Germany! He’s very easy to work with, and we were extremely impressed with his expertise, professionalism and integrity.”

“We’ve worked with Allison twice now and plan to do it again very soon to sell our house, and she continues to impress us! She’s always quick to respond, follows through on every detail, and makes the entire process smooth and stress-free. Allison understands the value of maintaining long-term relationships and it shows in the way she treats her clients — she’s genuine, personable, and a pleasure to work with. We truly enjoy working with her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, professional real estate agent.”

“Alex was the best real estate agent we could have ever hoped and wished for! His expertise is unparalleled, and he was game to stick with us while we hunted over a year for the perfect historic Seattle condo. While we were definitely ‘discerning’ (read: maybe a little difficult…), Alex was always accommodating with his schedule, helpful, and extremely easy to reach.”

“Allison was so great to work with! She helped us find a beautiful home that met our needs perfectly! Allison has a thorough understanding of the Seattle market and it was so helpful having her insight when putting in an offer. I would definitely recommend working with her! We’re so excited to have the perfect home to raise our daughter in, and Allison made it happen!”

“Alex is the calm eye of the storm in what can be a very trying and stressful home buying process. We used him for both the sale and purchase of homes in Seattle and couldn’t imagine going with anyone else. He’s thorough and professional, always maintaining a view of the big picture… His knowledge of the Greater Seattle area is both deep and broad.”

“MASSIVE shout out to Allison for making the home buying process smooth and low pressure for my mom and I. She put in so many hours of touring and investigating properties to make sure we were settled in the best home we could afford. Allison is a gem and everyone buying or selling needs to know it. Thank you from me and mine!”

“Alex exceeded our expectations in every way. From last minute house visits to late in the afternoon walk-throughs, Alex was ready to help us… We were impressed with his knowledge in answering every question we had as first-time home buyers… He provided answers, recommended local businesses… and gave us numerous tips to make our house even more enjoyable.”

“Allison is awesome! She helped us buy our first home during a busy time in our lives. She was great at coordinating with contractors and inspectors on our behalf. She truly made the experience feel easy, and had our backs through the entire process.”

“Alex was fantastic throughout the entire process. He was quick with responses to every little question. His market knowledge was extremely important.”

“I have worked with Allison on multiple occasions, and she takes customer service to a whole other level. She is incredibly knowledgeable in her profession and will always get you top dollar. I would never choose another broker, simply because she is the best one out there.”

“Alex is a consummate professional. The best thing about working with Alex was having complete peace of mind that we were in good hands and he was looking out for our best interests.”

“Allison is AMAZING. She is so sweet, she listens, and she delivers! Her interior design background creates the ambiance to your home and sets her apart from the rest! She is so phenomenal, and such a pleasure to work with and be around. This is someone you need as your agent.”

“Alex did an excellent job. He marketed the property very effectively and we received multiple offers. His advice on staging, inspections, and repairs was exactly right and helped the process go smoothly. His attention to detail was above and beyond the call of duty.”

“Allison was incredible to work with and helped us find our first home! She’s very knowledgeable about the market, negotiations, and home improvements. It truly felt like she was invested in finding us *our home* and was always available when we needed her. Also just a very fun and cheery person which never hurts! Would highly recommend Allison to anyone, we will definitely be working with her in the future should we ever find ourselves back in the crazy housing market.”

“Alex amazed us with his tenacity and professionalism… going above and beyond MANY TIMES during our transaction.”

“Allison was great to work with. We were very lucky to have her responsiveness and communication throughout the process as the market at the time presented some difficult challenges. She helped us navigate and find the best solutions. Post contract she made our life as easy as possible handling everything in order to close and close on time. Much appreciated and look forward to working with again.”

“Alex was fantastic. Really helpful, always explaining the vast ins and outs in the buying process. Readily available. Had great suggestions and recommendations. Lots of experience around the offer process.”

“Allison is an amazing realtor who helped the whole way through. Everything was thoroughly explained and she kept us up to date without being asked! I highly recommend her!”

“Alex is terrific. He’s fast but calm, and he really listens. I have worked with him on not only one but two home purchases, and I plan to work with him for as many as I might do in the future, too. I trust him totally.”

“Working with Allison was a great experience. We recently completed a roof project on one of her listings, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. Communication was clear, timely, and professional. Allison coordinated access, made decisions quickly, and truly cared about making sure the home was in top shape for their clients.”

“Alex was very knowledgeable and had spot on suggestions as to buying strategy. Alex made sure that everything I told him was taken into account as we pursued the purchase of my new home. He took responsibility for making things happen and for that I am very grateful.”

“Allison is a pleasure to work with, and highly knowledgeable when it came to selling my home.”

“Alex is a pro! Excellent communication, quick response, knowledgeable, and impressive ability to work through some difficult hurdles to get me across the finish line with my new home.”

“I called Allison after being referred to her by several close people, and she answered while she should have been on maternity leave. She didn’t truly realize I was ready to buy a house RIGHT THEN, but nonetheless she showed up the same day with her newborn and helped us tour SIX?! houses late into the night. She is literally super woman.”

“Alex is absolutely wonderful! He helped us buy our home in 2014 and then sell it in 2017. He’s extremely accommodating, helpful and knowledgeable. Alex will give you his honest input, but stresses that decisions regarding buying and selling a home are big ones and what’s most important is that you feel comfortable as the buyer/seller.”

“For years, I worked with different real estate agents and always felt like I was the one chasing them — constantly checking in to see if they had found anything for me. But with Allison, everything changed. SHE made it her mission to find me the right home – and she did, within just a few weeks.”

“Alex went above and beyond for us!!! We had met with a different agent, prior to meeting Alex, who told us we’d be lucky if we got 250k for our condo. Alex got us 282k! But more important than that, he was friendly, attentive, prompt, honest and SO, SO great to work with! He made the whole process of selling our first home easy and seamless!”

“I had been working with Allison for a few years on my home buying journey. It started off pretty informal as I was just looking to get some information to at least start the process but thought I wasn’t quite ready. Fast forward to recently buying my absolute dream home! Through that whole process she was an incredible and invaluable resource. Super easy to work with despite my indecisiveness and complete ignorance.”

“Alex did a great job, and helped us win our dream house in a highly competitive and aggressive market. He provided honest feedback, helpful suggestions and timely responses to all of our concerns and questions.”

“Allison guided us through a spruce-up renovation and sold our house during a tough Seattle market. She did the design work for the kitchen, bath, and fixture upgrades then managed work crews. The house looked fantastic, with work coming in under budget. We got multiple over-asking offers within 48 hours. Pretty sure her vision for the spruce-up paid off 4X what we invested, and made our sale so easy. Highly recommend Allison, especially if you think a spruce-up renovation might benefit your sale.”

“Alex was the most objective and helpful real estate agent with whom I’ve ever had the pleasure to work. He was extremely flexible in adjusting his schedule to meet ours and always presented a pleasant and helpful manner. He was invaluable in showing houses to their real condition, objectively pointing out features or conditions that may be important to us without ever injecting his opinion…”

“We bought a home remotely and Allison did an amazing job helping us find a place that worked for us. Not only did she take great videos of all of the places she toured, allowing us to get a feel for the house without being present, she picked places that suited our lifestyle and financial plans. She even went and watered our plants before we were able to move in to keep them from dying. I highly recommend Allison to anybody in the market for a home!”

“Alex was the calm eye of the storm in what can be a very trying and stressful home buying process. We used him for both the sale and purchase of homes in Seattle and couldn’t imagine going with anyone else.”

“I was able to achieve my home and financial retirement goals with the help of Allison. Allison is everything you want in a real estate agent. She is a skilled negotiator, eagle eye on contracts. Allison helped a lot with getting my house ready to sell. Allison does not just show off houses, she does a lot of real work around real estate deals.”

“Alex was very knowledgeable about the market and had spot-on suggestions as to buying strategy. He always took into account my priorities and followed through to make sure everything happened smoothly.”

“This was my first time selling a home and Allison was the perfect partner to guide me through the process. From initial consultation, to home prep, to offer negotiation, to closing week Allison exceeded my expectations and delivered a great value in helping me sell my home. She’s extremely knowledgeable about the home-selling process, an expert on the housing market, and a pleasure to work with! I’d recommend Allison highly to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.”

“Alex was great to work with. He helped us understand the market and took time to understand what we were looking for. He took us to view potential houses several times a week for over two months until we found the right home. He arranged for our inspections and handled the closing flawlessly.”

“I refer everyone I can to Allison and can’t wait to work with her again in the future!”

“Alex is honest, trustworthy and very easy to work with. He goes above and beyond in taking care of all of the details. I highly recommend Alex!”

“Allison was both my realtor and designer. She helped me update my kitchen, paint the interior of the house and replace carpeting. She worked with me to come up with the right price which worked out very well. My big concern was to sell quickly. I didn’t want the house sitting on the market too long. We had two great offers within a day and both were over asking. Allison held my hand through the whole process. I highly recommend her.”

“There was one house we really wanted to see, but it was already late (9pm) and it wasn’t even on our list. Allison called the agent and somehow made magic happen. THAT was the house we bought. She helped us write an amazing offer the very next day and the sellers accepted with no negotiations!”

“Alex was truly a pleasure to work with. Throughout our search for the perfect house that met our extremely particular requirements, he was patient, responsive, and on numerous occasions went out ot of his way to show us properties that had just come onto the market. He gave us options we would not have thought of otherwise… and in all other ways impressed us.”

“Allison is incredibly knowledgeable, and if there’s ever something she doesn’t know, she finds the answer right away. As a first-time homebuyer, I needed someone to guide me through every step and Allison truly held my hand the entire way. She’s also extremely communicative, which made the whole process feel so much smoother and less overwhelming. I never once felt out of the loop or unsure of what was happening.”

“Alex was an exceptional realtor. He was very prompt in answering any questions we had and helped us to quickly close on a property. He took pictures of prospective properties, was very thorough in his contract preparation, and helped us strike a fair deal in a very tough buyer’s market.”

“Alex has been very professional from start to finish in our Seattle condo search… After we closed on a condo, he helped us schedule an inspection and even reached out to find a handyman…we did not feel pressured to make an offer on anything less than the ideal condo.”

“Will we be buying another property? YES. Will we be going through Allison? YES. Do I tell everyone about Allison? YES.”

“Alex was very good about keeping me informed throughout the process of making my first purchase. He gave me objective information along the way and a professional opinion that helped me in the end.”

“Five million stars, would recommend!!”

“Working with Allison was one of the most delightful experiences of my professional career as a lender. We were able to create a tight knit team around our clients with excellent communication, mutual respect and transparency. She is sweet, funny, kind but also incredibly knowledgeable and super tenacious. The teamwork I felt was unparalleled, we had a very tight window for getting our remote buyers into their new home and working with Allison made it all possible. I can’t wait to work with her again soon.”
