Simplifying the Market
During the fourth quarter of last year, some housing experts projected home prices were going to crash in 2023.
If you’re thinking about buying a home soon, higher mortgage rates, rising home prices, and ongoing affordability concerns may make you wonder if it still makes sense to buy a home right now.

Wondering why the supply of homes for sale is limited today?
If your listing expired and your house didn’t sell, you’re likely feeling a little frustrated.
You might remember the housing crash in 2008, even if you didn't own a home at the time.
If you’re thinking of making a move, one of the biggest questions you have right now is probably: what’s happening with home prices?
If you’re looking to buy a home this fall, there are a few things you need to know.

While remote work peaked during the pandemic, many people still work from home today.
Buying and owning your own home can have a big impact on your life.
The way Americans work has changed in recent years, and remote work is at the forefront of this shift.

Alex did a great job. He knew exactly what we could get for the area. Since we were out of town during through before closing, Alex took care of meeting the contractors and inspectors at the house. He did a great job and got out asking price.

We've been seeing Alex brochures in the mail and signs around the neighborhood and he's also a regular customer of our restaurant. We found a house that was for sell and it happens that Alex was representing. Alex was very professional and knowledgeable. He got the whole team together to make the whole buying process nice and easy. I highly recommend Alex Carrasco to anyone who's looking to buy or sell your house. He is a top notch REALTOR!!

I couldn't be more pleased with all that Alex and his team has done to sell my home. Alex went above and beyond, checking every detail, advising us well, going to bat for us, playing hardball as needed, doing as we asked, respecting our time and our home, and getting us the best deal.
He has a system and it works! He and his team are at every showing (they didn't use a lockbox, at least at our home), which was important to us. He follows up with potential buyers well. We receive daily and weekly updates and updates after every showing.
Alex treated us like we were his only client, even though we knew he was representing many listings.
He is honest, respectful, friendly, and knowledgeable.
Daniel and Jada, Realtors on his team, and Nicole (Team Admin) were phenomenal also. You can tell they take their job seriously, and value us as customers.
I have no reservations about Alex or his team, and would recommend them in a heartbeat to anyone buying or selling in Hollywood Hills....or anywhere really, but these guys know Hollywood and Hollywood Hills specifically.

Alex was professional and detail oriented . Everything that he said would be done and in a timely manner. The brochures and mailings were professional and complete. We listed on all the digital sites for home sales. A weekly update was sent to us with a listing of all the views we received on the sites in addition to a recap of all the people who came to view the house. I would recommend Alex to anyone who is thinking of selling or buying a house.

Alex was referred to me by a friend when he helped them buy a triplex. They were extremely satisfied by his services so i figured why not. He made purchasing my first home exciting and was very patient with my demands. Not only did i want this and that it was also a VA loan which is a little more of a daunting process. He was completely transparent through the whole process and kept me well informed even teaching me some ins and outs of real estate. You can tell its his passion... it shows through his work. I had to use him again through the selling process. I had offers from 2 other realtors with a lower then the standard commissioning fee. 1 was a good friend. I couldn't do it, alex is just to good at his job! He is a fierce negotiator and knows the market his attention to detail is un parallel to others. Alex takes great pride in his work just look at the pictures on his website and decide for yourself. He had my house under contract in 72hrs! You are doing yourself a great injustice not giving him a call

" Alex and his staff were extremely helpful every step of the way. Their advise and guidance were invaluable to us as first time sellers. They were very quick on their response to any questions. The quality of the advertising materials and pictures they produced and posted were outstanding. Sold on the first day for asking price and although there were a couple of glitches, success!!! Thank you for the fantastic job! Judy & Kevin " *Google Review*

Alex is a true professional. He always answered our calls right away. He advised us on what repairs and upgrades to do before listing our house and helped us find companies that do the work. His entire team is fantastic, especially Jaida.

Michelle was a pleasure to work with. Not only is she highly qualified as a realtor she also has an impressive knowledge of the local real estate market. Being picky buyers with hectic personal and work schedules added a number of challenges to our buying process. Michelle was accommodating of our schedule, and responsive to our many inquiries and requests. Having purchased many properties in South Florida I have had the chance to deal with many individuals in the real estate profession, and I have not been impressed until now. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, honest, responsive and hard working real estate professional I would highly recommend Michelle Benoit for any of your real estate needs.

Alex is very professional as well as his team. They had more showings booked to sell my home in one week then my revious realtor did in one year. Alex knows the market very well and advises his buyers just as well. I always received a confirmation email when someone was coming to see the property and I also received feedback each time a person came which really helped me figure out how to do the staging of my home to sell it quickly. I would have no problem referring Alex and his team to either buy or sell your home . I have used them now to do both.

Alex and his crew recently sold my house. They were attentive, professional and courteous. I really can't say enough about them. They had open houses on 3consecutive Sundays. They showed the house often and yet they were very sensitive to our needs. Always took our calls and made us feel that they were working hard for us and not ingnoring us at all. Both my husband and I were very satisfied and highly recommend them.
