Alexia made the sale of our home a breeze! We appreciated her client- first approach, her responsiveness and transparency. She helped us sell our home quickly in this crazy market! So many wins with our sale all because of Alexia’s support- purchase price above appraisal, and a close in just 2 weeks! She helped us review multiple offers with ease! Bellaby also supported a ton after offer through the closing process. Alexia cares about her clients- she’s super smart, detailed, and tenacious. She had our best interest at heart and we will definitely use her again!

Alexia turned what could have been a very stressful time of selling our home, into the easiest venture. She was very knowledgeable about the market and area comps! She took care of getting a photographer, staging and cleaning. She was available any time we had questions…which was often:) we would recommend her 100%!!
by zuser20150706184257222Alexia was referred to me by a friend, and after having her help me purchase my first home, I can see why. She is not only sweet, she knows her stuff, and answered every question I asked, no matter how late or how silly the question was. It was truly a pleasure to work with her, and I would recommend her to anyone.
by bhetchler91We will continue recommending Alexia to anyone who needs a realtor! She went above and beyond for every step when selling our house. Gave us so much support and was always available whenever we needed. You can truly tell how passionate she is about helping people and the market.
by Katie B.Alexia was really helpful and knew exactly what we were looking for, and we were able to secure a house in this crazy market thanks to her. Without her help making the connections between a buyer and a seller, I would probably still be house hunting.
by Conner K.Alexia is passionate about finding her clients their perfect home, and went above and beyond to make sure as first time home buyers, we found the one of our dreams. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the current market and was able to answer all our questions- no matter the time of day. She was an excellent communicator, very organized, and a professional through and through. We were very nervous to get started looking for a home, but she made the experience as fun stress free as possible. Thank you, Agent Alexia!
by Kyle E. P.Alexia helped us sell our home from start to finish, and she did a great job for us! She was very responsive with any questions we had along the way, and she made the whole process run smoothly. Highly recommended!
by Thomas R.Alexia was our buyer’s agent for the recent purchase of our dream home in Schoolcraft, MI. Her attention to detail, market knowledge, and experience landed us our perfect home! She is professional, fun, open and honest. We started with a large search area and she was so patient, showing us homes far and wide, until we were able to narrow our search. She made every showing relaxed and enjoyable, and was really able to help us see not only the positives in perspective homes, but also the potential negatives. She is prompt and thorough when communicating, and knows exactly when a phone call is better than a text. We truly enjoyed our home buying adventure with Alexia and highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home!
