ZillowVERIFIEDAlyx is an extra! extraordinary real estate agent. Her strengths include her calm, confident, can-do attitude. The way she communicates made everything feel relatively low-stressaEUR"nothing ever felt urgent and yet she moved everything along super fluidly and efficiently. She was beyond patient and flexible with our shifting timelines. She communicated all the timeaEUR"always right back with a text or email. She was incredibly diplomatic with the management of our tenants who were impacted by the showings and outcome. She is super connected within the region and helped facilitate getting a painter or mover or anyone we neededaEUR"getting immediate help from people who were scheduled months out. From attending to all the little details to the big emotional stuff, she was full-on exceptional!

ZillowVERIFIED Alyx is an amazing advisor, advocate, and agent. She is a pleasure to work with. Calm, professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable about the local market and real estate process. Alyx listened to our needs and wants. Identified properties that fit and helped us close on the home of our dreams. Additionally, she provided a list of great service providers for inspectors, legal, banking, and architects. She helped us through the closing process step-by-step. The only trouble was that the process was so simple, fast, and easy that we didnt get to spend more time with Alyx! I would strongly recommend that you hire Alyx.

ZillowVERIFIED Alyx is one of the hardest workers you will ever meet. She is a busy realtor, but always makes the time to respond swiftly to texts and to talk on the phone about any concerns. During our search, she knew the background on a neighborhood issues and wisely steered us away from a house out of protection for us. This is the benefit of worki

ZillowVERIFIED We recently made the decision to relocate to Western Mass from Virginia and feel incredibly lucky that we had Alyx as our realtor. Moving cross-states as first time homebuyers in a highly competitive market was a daunting and stressful event and Alyx served as our patient guide throughout. She is highly knowledgeable, well connected and a genuinely kind person. Alyx was always available for us to air fears or give advice and we always felt that she had our best interests in mind. We cannot imagine going through this process with anyone else and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for their home in the area!

ZillowVERIFIED I have worked with Alyx twice, to buy and then to sell a condo in downtown Northampton. Both times, I could not have imaged a better agent. Alyx has deep and broad knowledge of the area real estate market, and is a delight to work with. She is experienced, well-connected, super knowledgeable, very responsive, and an excellent negotiator. I couldnt recommend her more highly!

ZillowVERIFIED Simply put, Alyx is the absolute best!!!! 10 stars out of 5. We were first-time home buyers in a very intense market, and Alyx was immensely helpful, incredibly patient, and extremely supportive throughout the entire process. Alyx is super knowledgable about all aspects of real estate, and I couldn't imagine a better real estate agent!!!! I can't recommend Alyx highly enough!

ZillowVERIFIED Alyx guided me and my husband through buying our first house recently, amid a crazy housing market! She is incredibly responsive, easy to work with and incredibly knowledgeable. She goes above and beyond, and answered all of our questions no matter how big or small. As we are moving from out of state, Alyx was also happy to help us with recommendations whenever we needed it for local services. We would absolutely recommend Alyx to anybody looking for a realtor in the area!

ZillowVERIFIED Alyx was so wonderful to work with! We were first-time buyers with very little knowledge about the local market and the house-buying process, and Alyx was kind, responsive, and endlessly knowledgeable. She made us feel at ease the whole time and got us the perfect house for our needs. Cant recommend her enough!

Review for Member: Alyx Akers
ZillowVERIFIED I love Alyx! Alyx is friendly & caring while also being super efficient, responsive, patient, steady, hopeful, knowledgeable, and generous in sharing years of experience. Alyx showed me about ten properties (during covid), guided me through my feelings about making offers on 3-4 properties, lead me away from dumps, and walked me through negotiation, inspection, P&S agreement, lawyer review, and closing. Alyx even made sure the sellers mowed the lawn and were responsible for removing some remaining junk before the sale was complete. I highly recommend Alyx for your home buying journey.

Review for Member: Alyx Akers
ZillowVERIFIED We hired Alyx from another state due to a job relocation. In the midst of the pandemic, we couldn't travel to MA and Alyx helped ensured it would not be an issue. Helping us through the listings, Alyx was incredibly knowledgeable about the multiple areas in the region of which we had interest. Because of her longevity in the industry, she also had first hand knowledge about many of the houses, and really helped us go through our list of must haves, and must avoids, to narrow down the search. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately), the inventory was fairly limited and we were under a bit of a time crunch. Upon finding "the one" - Alyx quickly scheduled a virtual tour with us, and walked us through the process of offer (which varies quite a bit from the process done in CO - for which we were accustomed). The process of negotiation, and the sale (and recommendations to the various professionals needed) was amazing. Her contacts were timely in their communication and ensured we were well cared for. Because we would not be in the state before closing, Alyx assisted with the final walkthrough and ensuring we had access when we did arrive. She followed up post-move to ensure things were in good order, and helped us resolve a few issues left by the previous owners quickly. We CANNOT recommend Alyx enough - she cares about her clients, has vast knowledge, great contacts, and is so fun to work with. The only regret we have is that we have spent all our money and can't continue to work with her to buy more (but maybe some day)!

ZillowVERIFIED Alyx was an incredible support to my partner and I during our first home search and purchase. She is incredibly knowledgeable and well-connected in western mass. Her recommendations for all the necessary people were incredible. She gives options, which allowed us to choose from our options in the area. Shes an incredible advocate for her clients and really cares. Alyx was easy-going and always available to answer any questions or address any needs. We absolutely could never have found a home, smoothly gone through the process, and landed perfect timing moving out of our apartment and into our amazing first home. She made sure to check in on us after our first night. We loved working with you, Alyx!

ZillowVERIFIED Working with Alyx as by buyer's agent was a real pleasure, and fun too! She's so knowledgeable about homes and the local market, and quickly understood what I was looking for. There was never any pressure to buy. In fact, she often suggested patience - and it turned out she was right! The house I chose needs some updates, and she was very resourceful in helping me understand what that would entail before I made the offer.

ZillowVERIFIED Alyx is a wonderful realtor. We interviewed three agents but Alyx was clearly the best choice. She was more knowledgeable and had a much better sense of the market and our home's value. We had reviewed recent sales and found her involved in many. She was always extremely comfortable to talk to and was full of ideas to market the property, even at our first meeting.She's cheerful, calm, and well organized. She has great instincts. Our trust and confidence in her was very well placed. If you need the services of a realtor, we highly recommend Alyx Akers.

ZillowVERIFIED Alyx was an AMAZING asset to have in our home buying process. As first time home buyers she made everything happen so smoothly. Very easy to talk to, good listener, honest and knows her stuff. Along with her own knowledge she has a good list of recommended professionals to work with which is great if you are new to the area or it's your first home.

ZillowVERIFIED Alyx was the perfect person to help us find our first home. She was always happy to answer all of aEURoefirst time homebuyeraEUR? questions during the process (a little over a year in length) of searching and submitting many offers. She remained positive and hopeful when we were certain wed never get an offer accepted. When the right home came along (and our offer was accepted) she helped make the closing process go as smoothly as possible. In addition to being a great agent, Alyx is a pleasure to be around and we would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell in this competitive market.

ZillowVERIFIED I would not recommend Alyx. She represented us when we purchased a home in Northampton. She was going to be away from the office for sometime and wanted us to close before she left. However, she made mistakes on the paperwork that required us to wait for it to be corrected. She never even congratulated us with a simple note of thanks. Awful experience.

ZillowVERIFIED Alyx is personable, knowledgeable, and efficient. Weve never experienced such quick response time from any professional weve worked with. Alyx was the calm center as we dealt with the disruption of moving to a new home. She provided a truly seamless experience tying together multiple contingencies as we approached the closing. Alyx Akers is simply amazing.

ZillowVERIFIED Alyx Akers is a terrific realtor. She knows the market and obviously enjoys the world of real estate. She is delightful to work with, both as a person and as an efficient, responsive agent. Alyx was always upbeat about our search even in a tight market, encouraging us, answering every question, and helping us confidently choose the right house for us. She made every step of buying a house as smooth as possible, and she gives excellent advice. We are thrilled with the house we finally bought, and we feel so lucky to have found her to guide us through our house search.

ZillowVERIFIED In addition to an overall great experience I want to add that Alyx aEURoeknows a guyaEUR? (person) who can do everything needed at all points of buying and selling a home! Quick connections (and responses!) to plumbers, electricians, deck person, carpenters, painter, handy person, etc. Made every stage go quickly and smoothly.

ZillowVERIFIED I honestly feel bad for anyone that navigated a first time home buyers process without Alyx on their side. With all of the anxiety and uncertainty that inevitably comes with the process it was everything to have someone we could trust. Alyx is organized, highly responsive and full of experience she is happy to share. I never felt like I was pestering her with our endless questions and she was very transparent with the steps of the process. I cannot recommend her enough and I know you won't be sorry if you give her a try.

ZillowVERIFIED Alyx is the Maestro so just sit back and go with the flow. Everything you want in an Agent - professional, available, and knowledgeable, that's Alyx. She has a network of all the other pros you'll need to get through your sale and purchase. The presentation of our home was beautiful and it sold fast for a great price. Couldn't really ask for a better experience.

Her professionalism, warmth, honesty, and true desire to help all combine to make her someone I was thrilled to have represent us. Alyx always responded quickly to our questions, brought in experts when needed, and negotiated a deal we were very happy with. You wont find a better realtor!

ZillowVERIFIED Alyx helped me buy my first home, and I had a fabulous experience from start to finish. She's extremely knowledgeable about the entire process. Her extensive web of industry professionals was really helpful, and I wound up taking all of her recommendations, from lending agent to inspector to attorney. In fact, halfway through the process, when things weren't going the way I'd hoped with the mortgage consultant I chose on my own, Alyx swiftly connected me with one of her contacts, Lindsay Barron, and I had a much better experience with Lindsay's team. Alyx is a calm, reassuring presence, and was swift in responding to my questions and concerns. She's also a great choice for anyone in the LGBTQ+ community, as are all of the professionals she recommends.I recommend Alyx without hesitation. She made my buying process truly enjoyable.

ZillowVERIFIED Alyx made us feel like we were her only clients. We were first time homebuyers and she walked us through each step with patience and expertise. We never felt out of the loop. We trusted her and we are in a home that is perfect for us! She provided info on the house, the neighborhood, and helped us with local contractors and is still a resource I will use and trust. I wouldn't have felt as safe or as comfortable with any other realtor. We can't thank her enough for helping us find our dream home and making it ours

ZillowVERIFIED Alyx is extremely knowledgable in every area - the market, the region, the process, and other resources her clients might need. She was easy to work with and knew exactly what to do every time we hit a bump in the road to buying our house. Alyx was consistently prompt in responding to phone calls, emails and texts. All of the people she recommended to aid in this process - attorney, home inspector, etc. - were quite competent and responsive as well. As a first-time home buyer, her experience and knowledge brought me much peace of mind in an otherwise stressful and unfamiliar process. It was a pleasure to work with her!

Alyx helped me through the entire process of buying my home, from connecting me to local lenders all the way through closing. Alyx thoroughly explained each step and answered every question I had, and was unbelievably quick to respond. I felt completely confident in all of the advice I received, and that my best interests were in mind during all negotiations and discussions. As a first-time buyer, what seemed to be a hugely daunting experience at first was made straightforward and easy, thanks to Alyx.

ZillowVERIFIED Alyx is fantastic! She knows the Northampton market very well and her advice was always spot on. Without her advice on how to bid, we would not have ended up with our house. She made every step of the process very clear and easy for us. All of the people she recommended were excellent - from bankers to inspectors and lawyers. She listened very well to what we were looking for and made sure we didn't settle. She is a wonderful communicator and overall a joy to work with. I cannot recommend Alyx highly enough!

ZillowVERIFIED We had the pleasure of working with Alyx for 10 months during the quest to find our home. We found Alyx to be as endlessly patient with our rookie questions as she was with our four year old aspiring-realtor son. Alyx is extremely knowledgeable and took the opportunity to get to know us and what we are looking for. She knows everyone in the business and every vendor that we worked with, from our mortgage broker, to the home inspector, to the lawyer, commented about how much they enjoy working with her. We never felt even the slightest bit pressured or rushed throughout the 10 month long search. We actually made three offers on three houses with Alyxs guidance. Each time, she offered objective and very helpful advice, but only when asked. I cant say enough about how wonderful it has been to work with Alyx. She helped us find the perfect house and now that its done were all sad we wont be able to hang out with her anymore! Shes a great realtor and a great person.

ZillowVERIFIED Alyx went above and beyond selling two of my houses and helping me buy a new home - all at the same time. Alyx was always professional, prompt in her replies, and didn't miss a beat through out the entire process. She didn't waiver in negotiations and always kept my best interest in mind. I have highly recommended her to many and will continue to do so. Thank you, Alyx!

ZillowVERIFIED Right from the start Alyx put us at ease with her friendly, easy way and her total control of all the details of the process - and she only got more amazing from there. She responded to all of our texts and emails within moments, she lead us through each step with kindness and confidence, and with her know-how (timing, video, gorgeous photos) we got an asking price offer at the first showing! We simply can't say enough good things about Alyx! If you get the chance to work with her, run, don't walk to sign the paperwork!

ZillowVERIFIED I loved working with Alyx! From my first contact to the final walk through, Alyx exceeded my expectations every time and on every count. Alyx is amazingly knowledgeable and helpful, always calm, and highly professional. She responds to every question right away (at all hours of the night it seems!), with the most helpful answers. She has incredible knowledge of the area and seems to know all the best professionals to go to for anything and everything that I could need - from lenders to home inspectors, contractors and movers. My home buying process took about a year from start to finish. I was extremely picky, extremely indecisive, and extremely ignorant (at the beginning) about all things home-related, but Alyx never made me feel like my questions were stupid or that I was wasting her time. When I chose a house with some unique and complicated issues, it required a lot more of Alyx's guidance and time. She was amazingly helpful and supportive with every minor detail. No matter what the situation, I felt like Alyx went above and beyond. I especially like how she was very real, compassionate, listened well, and offered sound advice. Somehow she managed to make a stressful and emotionally tumultuous process fun and relaxed. I simply can't recommend Alyx enough!

She was always very responsive, thoughtful, and knowledgeable about all aspects of the buying process. Whenever I had a question, home I would like to visit, or concern about the process she always contacted me within hours with a very thorough answer. Alyx always had patience with me and gave me time when I needed it to make decisions. This was my first home and I felt very comfortable going through this process with Alyx. I highly recommend using Alyx as your realtor, you will be very happy that you did!

ZillowVERIFIED We spent a couple years looking for a house without truly being ready to purchase. Alyx was incredibly patient with our indecisiveness and lengthy decision making process. Once we found the house we fell in love with, Alyx was always quick to keep us in the loop regarding the process and updates. Alyx is an invaluable resource regarding the purchasing process. She has many knowledgable connections and resources regarding inspectors and other service providers. This has proved to be incredibly helpful as we are first time homebuyers. Her flexibility, sense of humor and professionalism made working with Alyx a true pleasure. We would 100% recommend working with Alyx and are immensely grateful for her support and hard work!

ZillowVERIFIED As an out-of-state, first time home seller who is more on the nervous side, I can't speak highly enough of how amazingly helpful and reassuring it was working with Alyx to sell my home in Holyoke. She knows the market well and helped us know what to ask for. She was extremely helpful in understanding the process and timing. She connected with and worked well with my attorney and the seller's realtor. She kept track of all the details of things that needed to be done at a house 100s of miles from where I currently live, and she was on-site to make sure a lot of the work that was needed was done, as well. She is super-responsive and consummately even-keel, which I appreciated throughout the process. I never wondered "where we were" in a process or what I needed to do next, as she kept things moving and kept us informed. Also, and this is important, she is just a really nice person.

We always felt like we were in good hands and well taken care of. Alyx's advice helped us make the best offer possible once we found a home we loved. She arranged for an inspection right after our offer was accepted, and helped us to understand the implications of the report. She has amazing connections in the community and gave us many wonderful recommendations. We feel so lucky to have worked with Alyx!

ZillowVERIFIED As first-time homebuyers with a modest budget, we were afraid that we were priced out of the hot Northampton market from the get-go. Alyxs calm and warm demeanor instantly placed us at ease, as she assured us that we would find the right home.When the bid we placed on a home wasnt accepted, Alyx sagely advised us that in her experience, a better house would come along. Sure enough, a week later a house came up for sale on the same street, in better condition! Thanks to Alyxs excellent instincts, quick maneuvering, and superb reputation among professionals in the community, we had the offer accepted and closed in a quick time frame. Throughout, Alyx maintained a low-pressure position, while skillfully walking us through the process.In addition to being a top-notch real estate broker, Alyx has the good fortune of being a genuinely kind person, whom you will be glad to have as a guide during the often-stressful process of buying a home.

ZillowVERIFIED We found Alyx after asking for opinions from our Facebook friends and it was her name that came up continually. We're so glad that we heeded our friends' recommendations because Alyx is amazing! She's so professional, personable and is always on time for meetings. She maintains great relationships with both sellers and buyers and the fact that she is so universally respected makes the whole process of buying a house so much less stressful. She's put us in touch with expert carpenters, handypersons and painters and is very knowledgeable about local culture and geography. We closed on our house yesterday and while sitting with the lawyer who took care of our closing, she said that she always knew that when buyers of Alyx's were coming to a closing that the paperwork would be completely on point, organized and complete. There were barely any stressful moments the wholetime we were working with Alyx, and the ones that did happen were not of Alyx's making. We're planning to buy a rental unit sometime in the next year or so and will definitely use Alyx again. Highly recommended Realtor!

ZillowVERIFIED We could not have asked for a more skilled, informed, responsive, knowledgable and patient realtor than Alyx. Because we started looking in the off season, it took us several months to find a home that was right for us. Alyx remained committed to searching with us through the process and ultimately helped us successfully negotiate a winning offer in a competitive market. We trust Alyx's judgment and skills completely and could not recommend her more highly.

ZillowVERIFIED Alyx is a consummate professional. I am an attorney with high expectations of the professionals I hire. Alyx exceeded those expectations. I asked her to sell a modest, two family house that was an investment property. She managed the marketing, negotiation and sale smoothly, finding the right buyer and troubleshooting a number of issues in a way that appeared effortless but which certainly required subtlety and skill. She is excellent at what she does.

ZillowVERIFIED Alex was fantastic! After using her for our home purchase in Westhampton, she is the bar by which we measure all other realtors. In the past year we've used three realtors for three different transactions, and she stands out as the best by far. She was always responsive, helpful, local knowledge and made the process painless. Anyone looking for a realtor in the Northampton area should use Alyx.
