Alex and Derek supported us on our first-time home buying journey in the summer 2024. They paved the way for an stress-free experience as we toured a variety of houses in the Denver area. The duo worked tirelessly to help us weigh tradeoffs and were honest with us throughout the entire process. Before we started looking, we really had no idea what we were doing, and we learned so much in our collaboration. We ended up closing on our gorgeous home three months earlier than we anticipated, thanks to their organized approach and diligence. In the end, the appraisal came in $12k higher than what we paid, and we got even more in concessions! We are just so thankful to have had the chance to work with such an experienced and hard working team. Thank you Alex and Derek, we love our new home!

- Nick G

Alex and Derek were amazing! They were so patient with us and supportive through this process as first time home buyers. We had some specific wants and needs because of our special needs son, which made house hunting difficult at times but they helped us every step of the way! I would highly recommend them!! We will definitely use them if we ever decide to sell down the road and thanks GayRealEstate.com for the connection!

Alex and Derek were extremely helpful, knowledgeable and made this long distance real estate transaction as smooth as possible. They were always available for questions and provided honest feedback. If you are looking for realtors to help you buy and sell on the Denver Metro area, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

- Michael & Matteo A

We couldn't have been happier with Alex and Derek!!! We were buying and selling at the same time, and they made the whole process smooth and seamless, despite the complexities of the transactions. They communicated clearly and completely with us every step of the way, and helped us navigate each step comfortably and efficiently. Their referrals (painters, contractors, brokers, etc.) also came in clutch for us, and we're still using them all post-transaction. Alex and Derek's expertise, dedication, problem-solving and support are second-to-none, and I couldn't have hoped for a better team supporting us through this whole process. They're also just the greatest people; can't recommend them, and GayRealEstate.com highly enough!

We had the pleasure of finding Alex and Derek when searching for a Colorado-based realtor to assist us in our search for our new home in Lakewood, CO. We were relocating from Houston.
To start, we had a lengthy conversation about what we were looking for. After the call, they set us up in their database which sent properties to us which fit what we were looking for. Then when we had selected a bunch of homes we were interested in, we travelled to CO and they showed us 11 homes which we wanted to see. By the time we left, we had found three homes we liked and felt confident that Lakewood or Arvada was going to be our new home.
IMPORTANT! We really felt through the whole process that Alex and Derek were more concerned with making sure we were happy rather than just making a sale. I felt they had our best interest at heart and truly were working FOR us. All along the way they communicated with us and entertained our special requests and concerns while being 1000 miles away. Thank you GayRealEstate.com for connecting us!

Alex and Derek were able to sell our house and get creative in a tough market. Could not have done it without them and will be using them for all our future needs. Thanks guys!

I have worked with five agents over my lifetime and Alex was by far the most attentive and effective. He went far beyond my expectations to accommodate a long distance sale. I appreciated his willingness to use his network to provide solutions and services to us. I would STRONGLY recommend Alex to my friends and GayRealEstate.com
when looking for an agent!

Above and beyond support. We had an excellent experience with Alex and his team. We were living on the East Coast and only had a few opportunities to look at properties in person. We got connected to Alex via GayRealEstate.com Prior to our first visit to Denver, Alex provided us with a lot of information and also set up a flow of listings that fit what we were looking for. Alex was super communicative and really listened to us as we began narrowing the number of places we were interested in. He conducted many video tours for us when we weren't able to be there in person. When we finally landed on a place, we did the entire closing remotely. Since there was about a month between our closing and when we moved to Denver, Alex was kind enough to even install some basic privacy features (like temporary window shades) so that the house didn't look vacant. It gave us a lot of peace of mind.

- Troy W

Wish I could give 6 stars. Alex made what was a seemingly impossible task possible. He worked with us to identify homes, walked us through them long distance, and then helped us close the deal - all without us having to be physically present. He is super organized, precise, detailed, and on top of every detail at every step of the way. Competent doesn't begin to describe the way he handled every aspect. Can NOT say enough good things about him. HIGHLY recommended to anyone looking for a home Alex and GayRealEstate.com!

What a fantastic experience we had with Alex and Derek after finding them on GayRealEstate.com! After a very frustrating experience with a different realtor we are happy to say that both Alex and Derek listened to what we wanted and they gave us such a great showing of properties so we could pick the best area for our family. I can’t explain just how easy they made the house buying process and we found the right house! Highly recommend them and the website!

- Lori G

Alex and Derek recently helped us relocate from Texas. We found them based on a GayRealEstate.com review from another family from Texas that they’d helped. It was very important to us to find a realtor that was LGBTQ-friendly and was knowledgeable about areas where we would be most comfortable and welcomed. Alex and Derek not only met those needs but went above and beyond with finding a home we absolutely loved and even giving us advice that facilitated a quicker sale of our home in Texas. We really enjoyed working with and would highly recommend them and GayRealEstate.com

- Moriah P

Sold our house in 3 days!! Spent a WHOLE LOT of time helping us find the perfect new home to buy too!

- Aimee A

Alex was very responsive. Great at answering questions and patient Alex and Derek make a wonderful team. We really put them through the ringer! They're now ready for the pickiest of lesbians!

- Maureen D

Alex and his team were such a pleasure to work with. Having relocated from Los Angeles amidst a pandemic, it was even more important to have someone on my side who was an expert in the market and could guide me through the process. Our experience was top-notch. It was a pleasure working Alex.

- Brandon Petross-Oliver

Loved working with Alex. He made buying my first home stress and hassle-free. He took his time; went step by step in the process and made sure I wasn’t overwhelmed.

- Carlos Allemand

My partner & I were first-time home buyers, so we were less than confident about navigating the housing market with such limited experience. Finding Alex & Derek was a total godsend. They are extremely knowledgeable & experienced, & they were able to answer any & all questions we had. No question was a stupid question to them. They were always available whenever we needed them, & they replied back to our many questions quickly. All communication was clear & honest. When Alex showed us houses, he immediately got to know our wants, needs, and budget. felt like our best interests were truly at the forefront throughout the entire process. Alex gave us a number of options to construct the best offer that we could make within our budget, which ended up being accepted on our first attempt. Alex & Derek are also genuinely great guys, which made the process smooth & fun.
