Minneapolis Seller/Buyer
Finding a good Realtor can be unavoidably hit or miss, and seven years ago, without any connections or guidance, I took a chance on Alex Goldfarb through the casual recommendation of a friend. Since then, I have twice sold and twice purchased homes with Alex as my agent, and I couldn't speak more highly of him, both as a professional, and a person. From the start, Alex was an excellent listener who adeptly assessed and understood my needs. He ambitiously and carefully researched listings, and was uncommonly flexible in finding the time to show them to me. As a young and single first-time homebuyer, I was unsure of the process, but Alex responded to my inexperience with respect. I grew increasingly confident as he patiently welcomed and thoroughly addressed my MANY questions. Alex repeatedly asserted an in-depth knowledge of housing construction, as well as a remarkable aesthetic sense of space. His keen eye for structural flaws saved my now-husband and I from making unwise buying decisions, and his smart observations and specific suggestions on everything from floor plans to neighborhood features helped us find just the right property for our new life together. Prior to purchasing our current home, Alex was invaluable in helping us update, list, and negotiate the sales of each of our individual houses. His ability to strategize and prioritize, his insightful recommendations, and his familiarity with a network of quality referrals made an otherwise overwhelming and expensive process manageable and affordable. His unexpected kindness and willingness to help during a winter emergency only reinforced my impressions of his good character. I rarely write reviews, but in this case I feel compelled. To those now in the same position of picking a Realtor at random, rest assured that you will gain a compassionate, tactful, intelligent, hard-working ally in choosing Alex.

Alex is awesome. He went out of his way to help us - looking/evaluating all the neighborhoods (we were newcomers to Minneapolis), checking out countless houses, and even found us find short-term housing with the most awesome landlord in a great neighborhood. He always had a positive attitude, and was helpful in estimating costs and suggesting improvements. Even after purchasing a house with him, he is super responsive in getting back to me with questions about contractors and local insider info. I would recommend him to anyone.

Alex has helped me to purchase several rental properties over the past several years. He is knowledgeable, easy to work with and most of all provides excellent advice. I expect to work with Alex again in the future and can't recommend him enough to others.

Alex has a good understanding of the local market and was very proactive in helping us sell our home within days of putting it on the market. He was always prompt in his correspondence, understood our needs well and answered all our questions about the selling process very well. It was a pleasure to work with Alex.

The ABSOLUTE BEST!!!! He did everything we wanted and more. Superior knowledge on homes. We were first time home buyers and knew very little about the housing market. He went out of his way to show us to educate us and get us the best price for our first home. We will definitely use him again. We highly recommend him.

Alex helped us sell our single family home in less than 48 hrs! He was very helpful in explaining comparable listings and gave us a reasonable and accurate price to list our home for. Alex was also very good at answering our questions in a timely manner. We would definitely enlist Alex as our realtor in the future.

Alex showed extreme professionalism and flexibility over the course of our home purchase process. What began as an idea for a second home in a remote city morphed in time to a full relocation. Along the way, Alex adopted to our changing goals, showing homes which matched the criteria at that moment. Given his ability to navigate a wide cross section of the real estate market, covering price point, neighborhoods and home characteristics, I would recommend Alex for his guidance in any home search.

Alex is a good guy and a good realtor. I knew him outside of the world of homes before I knew him within it. I was very impressed with his work and his familiarity with neighborhoods, construction, etc. When complicated documents were at hand, he was always able to 'cut to the chase' and tell you what things meant. I'd recommend him heartily.

St. Louis Park Buyer
We were selling our house in California and buying one in St Louis Park. We were unable to travel to SLP to actually see the house, so Alex toured us through the house on Facetime, peeking into all the corners and making us feel very confident about the purchase. We went through several of these situations with him and he never ran out of patience or enthusiasm for our issue. This is a man who will go all the way for a client, and we will recommend him endlessly!
