Alex Bouja

    • Alex Bouja is simply unparalleled. Examples: * Connections: When the buyer's loan was unexpectedly declined, Alex talked to a bank executive he knew and put the loan back on track. * Industry knowledge: Alex advised which properties to avoid and pitfalls to be aware of. Mistakes I had made in the past were a distant memory when working with Alex. * Integrity: When the toilet at my new property malfunctioned, Alex bought me a new one himself and had it professionally installed. * Value: Alex paid for several things that friends of mine selling with other agents are paying for themselves. Huge savings. * Service: Alex picked up the phone or called me back immediately, every time. I could go on and on. Bottom line: I am very grateful to Alex for his incredible support through both the selling and buying process.

    • If you're looking for a realtor that is attentive, knowledgeable & will always have your best interest at heart, this is your guy. Our transaction was a rollercoaster & he worked behind the scenes to handle any hurdles thrown our way. It was this initiative that minimized our stress level & earned our trust throughout the sale. He won't end a call unless he feels confident that you've had all of your questions answered & there's nothing else he can help you with. Customer Service at it's absolute finest. I would recommend him to anyone I know. Thanks Again Alex!!

      - Bob, Rose Garden SJ CA
    • I would highly recommend Alex! He has been, and continues to be, "there" for me throughout the process of listing and selling my home, and helping me to locate my new home. He is knowledgeable, thorough, and always available whenever I have had questions. If I could give him more than 5 stars, I certainly would!

      - Linda, San Jose CA
    • Alex was referred to me by a friend when I was ready to sell my home in downtown San Jose. From the moment I left him a voicemail Alex was highly responsive and committed to getting my home sold for top dollar. Alex gave honest feedback about the best way to present my older home with the unusual market conditions in San Jose. Alex excellently handled difficult situations and orchestrated all of the preparations for showing my home. Once on market, my house sold quickly and well over asking. My family and I were very happy with his professional but approachable demeanor and are using him to look for our next home as well.

      - San Jose, CA
    • If there was ever a guy who has your best interest at heart, it's Alex. From initial signing of the papers to the last drive out of the driveway, Alex was there for us. He's professional, encouraging, and has a wicked sense of humor. This was the 2nd house Alex has helped us sell. Would I use him again? In a heartbeat.

      - Saratoga CA
    • Alex is a Super Star and we cannot thank him enough for all of his above and beyond efforts. From showing up with a welcome surprise trailer full of mini bark to coordinating all of the contractors and then making it all work around our difficult night-shift schedule, Alex was always there for us! We HIGHLY recommend his industry expertise, negotiation skills and willingness to think outside the box. The end result of working with Alex for us: a sale over asking, a purchase UNDER asking and the peace of mind that he always had our backs. He should absolutely be your first phone call when the need for a realtor arises!

      - Holly, San Jose CA
    • Alex used his knowledge of the local market to show us several homes that were great possibilities, he was patient and listened to better refine the search, while offering helpful suggestions. Alex was very responsiveness and accessible, any time of the day or evening. When we found our ideal home, Alex was fantastic at negotiating with the seller's agent and guiding us through a complicated sales process and we were able to purchase our new home significantly below the original asking price.

      - Kevin H, Morgan Hill CA
    • We have had good realtors before but Alex brings a new dimension to this service and is the model for the phrase "goes above and beyond". The entire process was as smooth as anyone could ever wish for and Alex was constantly keeping us on track for things we needed to do as well as keeping us informed of what was going on behind the scenes. I only wish there were more stars to fill in up above for his rating.

      - Linda, San Jose CA
    • Words really cannot express the appreciation my family has for Alex and all of the hands on skills, work effort and execution he brings to the table. He is hands down the best real estate expert and realtor in the SF bay area, period! From end to end during the sale Alex is there guiding you with every detail and showing up for all of the appoints for inspections, appraisals, etc. He is so good that the couple buying our home wanted to use Alex for their future purchase- that pretty much says it all if you ask me! Alex is family and we would recommend him to anyone looking to get the best. Remember, you pay for what you get in this business! There are a lot of cut rate shops out there and you get exactly what you paid for- little to nothing and a delay in sale/purchase. Alex is worth every dime and more, thank you Alex!

      - Jeff, Willow Glen CA
    • Alex, guided us through the process of selling our home. He gave us excellent advice on how to market the home, and what to remodel and repair to get maximum dollar return. I would not hesitate to hire Alex again to buy or sell a home.

      - Gary, San Jose CA
    • Alex brings determination and an engineer's eye for details (from his previous career) which makes him an excellent realtor. He helped to sell my rental property and also helped my wife and I to purchase a new home to start a family.

      - Patel, San Jose CA
    • Alex was very knowledgeable about the market and priced my home for maximum exposure resulting in a considerable higher selling price. He was an active participant from the beginning helping schedule contractors for needed repairs prior to the Open House thru closing. Alex professionally used the latest social outlets to market my house as well as the normal Real Estate pipelines. I would recommend Alex to anyone seeking a trustworthy and honest broker willing to go the extra mile to sell or locate your new home!

      - Joe, Los Gatos CA
    • Alex sold my condo. He was fantastic. He knew what to expect, had excellent knowledge, drove the process, and kept me informed at all times. He sold the condo quickly and for a higher price than what I thought was possible. He is great to work with.

      - Sunnyvale, CA
    • Alex was well informed with the Market Area of our home showing us detailed data to help us determine the value of our home and what we should expect through the sales transaction. Alex was involved in every step of the transaction answering any questions we may of had. I highly recommend meeting with Alex you wont be disappointed!

      - Rob, Saratoga CA
    • We have used Alex in previous sales with excellent results. There was no question as to who we would use when it came to selling a rental property Our idea was to put some money into the property to make it more attractive to buyers. After an assessment of the property and market in the area, Alex recommended we don't put any money into it and put it on the market as-is. We had an offer within a week and sold for well over the asking price!! We have recommended Alex to friends, who have also been very happy with his results. We would highly recommend Alex to anyone, and will use him again.

      - Colleen, San Jose CA
    • Alex was recommended to us by a friend when we were selling our house, and boy, are we glad that we hired him. First of all, he got us top $ for our house - 20% over asking, which was the highest price per sqf for our neighborhood. Second of all, he was super involved every step of the way, which was especially helpful during offer reviews - he helped us with research and conducted masterful negotiations. We purchased and sold houses with other agents before, but going forward, will only work with Alex. He is a skilled negotiator who has his client's best interest at heart. His dedication earns him top marks!

      - Soniaku, Santa Clara CA
    • Alex was very helpful as our realtor. He kept on top of everything and made sure things ran smoothly and that we closed on time. I would, and have, recommended Alex to many friends and family and will continue to do so. The time and effort that Alex puts into each and every home is amazing and we couldn't thank him enough for his help when selling our home.

      - Blossom Valley, San Jose CA
    • Alex is a top notch real estate professional. He's extremely knowledgeable, attentive and honest. My husband and I always felt we were in good hands with him during every step of the process.

      - Jason, Sunnyvale CA
    • On our first experience was the sale of our home, and Alex managed the final negotiations with multiple offers to obtain the best price and benefits for us. So very important was a 60-day rent-free period following close of escrow. Super impressive service! Then Alex found replacement home in our desired ZIP and for price we could use to carry forward super low property tax. Location, size, location, and value - all to our goals. Following that, Alex sold our remaining 26 acres undeveloped mtn land for better than expected price. Three transactions, all with Alex, and all for our benefit. We are forever grateful.

      - Phil & Maxine, Los Gatos CA
    • My husband and I recently purchased our first home and we couldn't have done it without Alex. From our first meeting, he knew exactly what we wanted and made us feel like we were his #1 priority. During the house hunting process, we were concerned about being outbid by the competition since we had a limited budget. Alex assured us that he would find us something and everything would work out. True to his word, he found us a lovely house off market with no competition. The best part is we didn't pay a dime above market value. How does this happen in the Bay Area? You have a Realtor like Alex who is professional, honest intelligent and above all, persistent. Thank you so much Alex! You made what seemed like the impossible happen for us and we are so appreciative.

      - Kevin & Jessica, Morgan Hill CA
    • From the get-go, Alex has been extremely responsive to our needs in searching for a home in the south bay area and his knowledge has proven extremely useful in narrowing down neighborhoods. He's smart, honest, and helpful for those of us who have full time jobs and can't dedicate hours on end to house hunting but still need to move quickly in finding a home.

      - Leonardo, San Jose CA
    • Alex represented us as buyers in our new home purchase. In a very strong sellers' market where multiple offers over asking price are the norm, Alex managed to get our offer accepted at well under asking price! We had money left over and closed quickly, which allowed us to immediately begin our remodel. We couldn't be happier with the purchase and it goes to show what a good agent can do for you in this market. Case in point: Alex is the best around.

      - C & Thuy, San Jose CA
    • Alex and I have worked together since 1997. Alex provides excellent customer service, while paying attention to the details. It's the sign of a true professional, when the transactions are problem-free, and close on-time. I have to say, I don't know anyone who does a better job, for the people they serve. He's one of the handful of people I know in this industry, that cares about his clients.

      - Steve, Morgan Hill CA
    • I would recommend Alex. He is reliable & knowledgeable. He has helped my family with two homes and both times he has been there to take care of all the details.

      - Peter, Almaden Valley CA
    • Alex was my listing agent in the sale of my condo. Alex's expertise in this area allowed us to receive multiple offers, all of which were well over asking price. We settled on an all cash offer which closed in less than 10 days. To me, this sale was absolutely flawless and I couldn't be happier. Alex certainly knows how to get top dollar for a property, as well as attract quality buyers/agents with solid financing.

      - Collin, San Jose CA
    • Alex Bouja went above & beyond in assisting us with our home purchase. We took over a year to find the perfect property that we could gut & remodel, and where a lesser agent would have dismissed us, Alex prevailed. When it came time to close the deal, he was attentive & responsive, taking the time to attend the inspections & sit down with us whenever we had questions, no matter how ridiculous they were. Even after the deal was closed, he continued to follow up until we were settled. I really felt he had our best interest at heart. Alex was more than our agent, he was our advocate.

      - Rollie & Christy, San Jose CA
    • My wife & I had been experiencing months of difficult house-hunting before meeting Alex. Within a short time working together, we finally purchased our home and could not be happier. He was able to provide a great deal of insight and advice going into the deal, and was looking out for our interests throughout the entire process. Alex is knowledgable, personable, and thorough!

      - John & Danielle, San Jose CA
    • We would highly recommend Alex to anyone wishing to either sell or purchase a home. Alex was our agent for three separate transactions; 1) he sold my parent's home for us after my father passed away then 2) he sold my husband's mother's home for us after she passed away and finally 3) this past summer not only sold our home for us but was instrumental in helping us find our new home. In addition to the three homes he sold for us, we recommended him to a couple that we have been friends with for many years. He handled the sale of their home with the same level of professionalism that he gave us. Alex was unbelievably attentive to every possible detail. We felt, throughout each transaction, that we were in the best of hands and every question, problem, detail was addressed with the utmost of professionalism, knowledge and thoroughness. We would highly recommend Alex to anyone, anytime, for anything connected with the sale or purchase of a home. He is the definition of an outstanding real estate agent!

      - Brett & Beverly, Almaden Valley CA
    • Alex is compassionate, caring and kind - qualities you might not see too often in his profession. In our case, selling a home that had been in the family for over 40 years, he listened to our stories, he respected our memories, and guided us through the process to a very successful outcome. Would we recommend Alex to our friends? In a heartbeat.
