About
Alex Sarkeshik
Real Estate Salesperson with Optimum First Inc, and a mortgage originator of 28+ years. Two licenses, one process, and a strong preference for telling clients the inconvenient version early.
Where the experience comes from
Alex has spent 28+ years in residential mortgage lending, which means he has watched several thousand transactions from the side where they usually break. Appraisals that miss. Conditions that surface late. Buyers who were told they were approved by someone who never looked at a document.
Representing buyers and sellers is the same work from a different chair. When Alex reads an offer, he is reading the loan behind it. When he prices a listing, he knows what an appraiser is going to do with those comparable sales. That is not a marketing angle, it is just what happens when someone has done both jobs for a long time.
How he works
- You get told what is actually happening, including when it is going badly.
- Nothing gets submitted or signed that you have not seen and approved.
- If he thinks a property is wrong for you, or a price is wrong for your home, he says so.
- If he is not the right person for a transaction, he says that too.
