“As a broker, Alex Ney prefers the hard-working, genuinely nice guy style of advocacy instead of a “salesman” pushiness. He supports his clients with diligence, persistence and a good eye for the market. His honest advice on comparable price range, bidding, and negotiations is based on experience and a good instinct for the best outcome. He followed up on everything, came back with good leads, was available for showings, and when we found our perfect “fixer”, Alex helped us find contractors for work needed on the house. He even met several rounds of contractors at the house and followed up on bidding before we went forward with our offer in order for us to know what we were getting ourselves into. We have worked with many brokers to buy properties in the past, and have liked several of them, but Alex’s great combination of relaxed cool, meticulousness and good instincts is rare.”

“Alex is the best of the best. He spent the better part of a year with us and matched our pace throughout. He was patient, engaged, and knowledgeable, and has an outstanding stable of referrals. We could trust him with every step of the home-buying process. He was readily available and responsive. He’s a total geek for the nitty-gritty, so he pays careful attention to building materials, risks, quality benefits, potential challenges with renovations, and the various inspections (general home inspection, tank sweeps, sewer scopes, environmental testing). He was also able to counsel us brilliantly on our bid strategy and the politics of negotiating offers. We whole-heartedly recommend him to anyone and everyone looking to buy (or sell) a home in Portland!”
