“Alice was an incredible real estate agent, who really did go above and beyond. She made herself available and was open to showing us any property of interest, until we found a home. As a selling agent, she made sure our home showed impeccably. Her communication skills were top notch. I would certainly work with her again and to recommend her to anyone buying or selling."
