We were amazed by the personal attention he shared with us and the trust we had in him.  As first time home buyers, that means a lot…we have already recommended his services to three other families and will continue!

Buyers - Nicholas & Shannon Murchison

"As a Principal in a commercial real estate development company that does over $75 million in volume every year, I've worked with hundreds of real estate agents.  When it came time to sell my own house in the midst of one of the worst markets in fifteen years, I was more than a little concerned about finding the right person for the job.  I'm glad I found Al Rex, as he not only came up with the right marketing plan, he also did a phenomenal job of managing the psychological and emotional part of the process and never hesitated to go above and beyond the call of duty.  The best compliment I can give him is that I would use him again without even thinking of talking to other agents." 

Seller - Mike Kalscheur

After trying to sell my condo on my own for seven months, I needed to get it sold in 30 days, and YOU DID IT!!!

You made some upgrade suggestions, staging help and pricing suggestions and we got the response we were looking for.  You were perfectly professional to work with and his team took care of all the other details without a hitch.

Again, your help in selling my Condo saved my family from losing our new home and going through all the turmoil that would entail. We will be forever grateful for your hard work and skill in helping us through our difficult situation.

Sellers - Craig & Diane Stevens

In a strong market, we were able to sell our own house with a little help from Help U Sell.  However, in a weak market, like this one, it was impossible.  We really feel you are a consummate professional and did an excellent job selling our rental.  We didn't need to give you direction, hold you hand, worry about what you were doing, or chase you down for updates.  We trusted you to do your job. We knew you were going to call us every week with a status report and that gave us a huge measure of stress relief. You are a lot smarter than the average realtor and we never felt you shaded the truth or told us what we wanted to hear to get the listing.  No BS!....and that made us give your opinion a lot of weight when we had a tough decision to make. But most of all we felt that you were out there in the marketplace, hunting down a buyer.  You were "proactive" ....not just sitting back and waiting for the order to walk in the door.  That puts you a huge cut above the average run of the mill realtor. 

Sellers - Kevin and Paula Mahan

Al was very knowledgeable of the Carlsbad market and helped us determine the optimal listing price.  Within weeks he was able to generate an offer that was the highest sales price for my model in the neighborhood.  Al handled all of the details and the closing went very smoothly.  All in all, Al was very professional and handled all of the details.  If you want a real estate agent that can get the job done, hire Al!"

Sellers - Mark & Irene Moreno

"Al recently provided real estate services for my family. If you are looking to hire a professional who will work for you as he promises, then you will find Al Rex to be a man of integrity and of his word".

 Seller - Frederick A. Picciano

I would like to take a moment and express my sincere appreciation for Al Rex's realtor services.

Al has helped me on two occasions in selling a home and buying a home.  Al was highly recommended to me by my tax consultant in Carlsbad; my tax consultant informed me that she had at least eighteen realtors as clients and that Al Rex was the best based upon his professional expertise.  Al was an excellent listener - when I shared with him what my home needs were at that point in time, and he always returned my phone calls promptly. Al is a very friendly person, and at the same time a go-getter; he responds with action not passivity. Al is very knowledgeable in all areas of real estate, and he communicates his knowledge in layman's terms. Al even poured out some of his own money to help make my new house look more appealing. Al Rex is a realtor you can trust and respect!

Buyer and Seller - Brian Taylor

We think of Al Rex as a true professional who helped us tirelessly for over 2 years to find the home which we thought was the right home for us.

Al helped and worked closely with us even when we were overseas, by emailing us regularly with the potential homes.

We trust him like a good friend with all his advice. Never felt pushed or rushed to make a decision to choose a home which didn't feel was right for us. His understanding of his client's needs is superb.

He is a true professional and our trusted Realtor with whom we will stay in touch for our future purchases or sales and will recommend him to our friends with total confidence, knowing that he will give them the very good service and help as he gave us.

Buyers - Sherry & Graham Ralph

Al Rex did a great job in helping me find the ideal home for my family.  His knowledge of the industry was very helpful throughout the entire process.  I really appreciated his patience in showing us many different properties until we found what we were looking for.  He was professional and courteous and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell their home."

  Buyer - Jodi Valdivieso

Our realtor, Mr. Al Rex, performed excellently selling our La Costa condo.  We interviewed several realtors prior to re-listing our property with Al.  He was the only one to look us in the eye and declare "I will sell your condo"!  Our previous agent had the listing for seven months without producing positive results.  Thanks to Al's perseverance, determination and professionalism, Al found us a buyer that paid us our asking price with no hassles.  We truly appreciate Al's past performance on our behalf and have listed our current home with him.  We heartily recommend engaging his services to anyone considering using him as their realtor now or in the future.

Sellers - Danny & Darlenska

Al Rex was very instrumental in our home purchase process. His experience in this business and his extreme patience in dealing with us and our needs, was unprecedented. We would definitely recommend him to others.

Buyer - Nasrin Barbee

I wanted to send you a note of gratitude for all of your assistance in helping us sell my Dad’s home.  As you know, Dad had been ill for quite sometime and when it came to finally decide to sell his home it was a tough, emotional decision.

Clearly choosing you to be our agent was one of the best decisions we could have made during a stressful time.  You were always available to help whether it was going above and beyond your duties by assisting with the normal house inspections or offering help in finding us resources to take care of repairs.  You went out of your way to continually communicate progress on the sale.  And once the transaction was in progress you continued to stay in touch and made sure we knew what was happening along the way.

I would recommend your services to anyone who is interested in buying or selling a home.  You exceeded our expectations as a real estate agent and we couldn’t be happier with the end result.  As an experienced professional of over thirty years in the customer service industry I consider myself an expert on recognizing great customer satisfaction and I would say that you exemplify the best.  Thanks for ensuring we had an outstanding experience with your services.

Buyer and Seller - Karen Garcia

…we tried to sell our home by owner for several months an did explore some other low cost alternatives before we decided to sign on with Al.  And thank goodness we made this decision.  During the time we had the home listed by owner, we did get some low offers.  But after Al came in with his multi-point marketing plan, we were able to net over $100,000 more after all fees and commissions.  So needless to say, we’re happy campers!

Seller - Bob Larking

Al, you have absolutely been a blessing.  We thank you both for your amazing professionalism, attention to detail, and expansive knowledge.  It seems like you have the answer to everything! This was truly a great experience and we have no doubt that without you, it would not have gone nearly as smoothly (and fun!).  Thank you again for everything ...we will always highly recommend you!

Buyers - Scott & Julie Brierley

Realtors like Al are hard to find!  He went over and beyond our expectations even after the sale was done…we already referred him to our neighbor!

Buyers - Dan & Elaine Bechtel

Many thanks to all the cherished clients who have shared their experiences and comments with us!

Qualifications

As a Realtor in San Diego County, I am dedicated to providing the highest level of service imaginable to my clients.  My definition of outstanding service is:

• Effectively market your property to the maximum number of qualified buyers, by extending beyond the Multiple Listing Service and personally reaching out to all Realtors, who have a history of bringing buyers to your neighborhood.
• Exhibiting calm expertise for my clients, throughout the entire home selling process.
• Display the highest degree of honesty, integrity, loyalty and diligence on behalf of each and every client.

My mission is to make each and every client a customer for life.

Why should you choose Al Rex for your Real Estate needs?

• I take great pride in having a reputation of selling homes in half the normal market time and for top dollar.  This is why my business is rapidly expanding, mostly from referrals through current and former clients.
• When you sign on with one of the larger realty teams, quite often – once the ink dries on the listing contract – you are usually passed on to working with one of their junior agents who typically lack experience & motivation.  When you sign on with me, you work only with me and my assistant – Tanya Gabriella.   And since the success of my business lies solely on my performance, I have extreme motivation to get your home sold efficiently and for top dollar.  In addition, my cell phone is on from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm, 7 days a week.  I’m very accessible and return all calls within a few hours.
• I’m a CPA and have a strong financial background, which enables me to assist my clients with many of the financial matters involved in their real estate transaction.
• All of my past clients will readily use my services again, and take great pride in recommending me to their friends and relatives. 

Community Involvement

• Active in Home Owner’s Association: Neighborhood Watch Captain & lead several social events – including the 4^th of July Celebration and Visits from Santa Claus.
• President of Dad’s Club at Pacific Rim Elementary.
• Volunteer for Playground Partners at Pacific Rim Elementary.
• Active participant in “Hands Across the Border” (build schools in impoverished Mexican communities)
