Testimonials
Alex combines his extensive knowledge of real estate with his high level of energy and responsiveness. Always available, and infinitely resourceful, Alex made the sale of my home pleasant and seamless.
– JohannaWe had a great experience working with Alex. He was very helpful throughout the process of purchasing a property. In the initial stages, he had helpful insights on the location and condition of the property. Once we decided to make an offer, Alex guided us through all the steps and advised us on the terms of the offer. After the offer was accepted, Alex was very helpful as the intermediary between us, our lender, the title company, and the sellers. We would highly recommend him.
– BogdanHome-buying is generally an anxiety-ridden process with a rollercoaster of emotions. Alex made it fun for me and helped me maintain my sanity. His positive outlook and can-do attitude made the whole process that much better. Add to this his realtor fundamentals of being a local with intimate knowledge of the area, tight partnerships with numerous other functions that this process requires (mortgage broker, contractors, etc.) and being highly communicative and reachable at all times of the day.
– PramodAlex has done a great job in assisting us buying this property in Sonoma. When we first approached him he listened very well our requirements and understood perfectly our needs. Although we were looking for properties in different websites that we thought would meet our requirements, we actually could not find exactly what we were looking for. In the meantime Alex was able to find this property that actually met our needs. We can't be more satisfied with Alex' job and we highly recommend him.
– DiegoAlex recently helped us purchase a new home in the Hyde/Burndale area of Sonoma, and we could NOT have done it without his help. He's a true professional, and I would recommend anyone in the market for a home in the greater Sonoma area to consider working with Alex. He adds value not only through his intimate understanding of the local market, but he is also incredibly responsive and helpful with ideas to solve all sorts of issues that arise in the crazy world of buying/selling a home.
– AnnaWe are incredibly grateful to Alex for helping us find our home. He was patient and very good at listening to our needs. He didnt let us get discouraged in this limited market and with due diligence helped us find our forever home! He advocated for us and helped us navigate through and beyond closing. Thank you Alex!
– RachaelAlex did a great job marketing my home and getting it sold. He went way above and beyond what I expected a real estate agent of doing to make the deal go through. Because we have moved out of state he replaced out dated smoke detectors, help with putting mulch around plants, took some things to the dumps, and helped load and remove things like stall mats the buyer wanted remove before the close of escrow. I would recommend him to anyone thinking of selling their property.
– PeggyWe could not be more thrilled with our experience with Alex! Selling and buying a home simultaneously, in an extremely hot market, was not an easy undertaking. Alexs patience and expertise guided us through this challenge with ease. I cannot tell you how many emails and phone calls we exchanged, but I can tell you that Alex was very quick with his responses. He was there for us every step of the way. Thank you Alex and team; you are a true realtor treasure!
– SaraBefore actively offering the property, Alex was patient yet persistent with us, generated advance interest with other agents and potential buyers, and put together a great marketing strategy and package. Alex is "a mover", and that's what we wanted, needed, and something I think that all sellers are looking for. If you're listing your property and have decided to use Sotheby's in Sonoma as your broker, when you call, you want to ask to speak to Alex Yankee. I can't recommend him highly enough.
– PhilWe really enjoyed working with Alex as he helped us find the perfect property for us. He was patient, professional, and always well prepared. Alex knows the market well, is well respected by other realtors, and was very helpful in negotiating and the myriad details of getting a transaction done in a hot market. We wouldn't consider using anyone else in buying or selling a home in this area.
