"This was my second attempt to buy a house. I was really not looking forward to it because the first go-around was not a great experience. Based on a recommendation from a friend, I called Alix Criswell of Patriot Realty. I was more than pleased when I called and was able to speak with her right away. We spoke for a few minutes and I told her about my previous experience. She reassured me that I would not have that this time. She was so right! Four months later, we found our house and started the paperwork. I would like to tell anyone who is looking for a Realtor who is patient, honest, hard-working and treats clients with respect, Alix is who you should work with. She is very detail-oriented and honors the client’s wishes. She is readily available and will answer questions in a timely manner. She even will help find the right resources and put you in touch with the right people. I have and will continue to recommend Alix to any friends or family looking for a great Realtor! "

"As a first-time home buyer, I had no idea who to call to help me make one of the biggest purchases one can ever make. My banker gave me a pamphlet from Alix at Patriot Realty, and I liked what I read inside, so I decided to give her a call. Boy, I knew right away I had made the right choice. Alix and I seemed to “click” from the first time we talked. I told her what I was looking for, and she took it from there. There was an abundance of homes/condos to look at on my personal portal, and it became my new hobby — looking at homes on the Internet. We visited several places before we found the right one. All along the way Alix looked out for me, explaining the process patiently and thoroughly as we proceeded along. And she was always willing to bend over backwards to accommodate my schedule as I was going through this process as a single person and I work full-time. Finally that day came, and I found my condo. I let Alix know, and after that everything seemed to fall in place. It was truly an enjoyable experience from start to finish. I would recommend Alix to anyone who is looking for a Realtor who really cares about her customers. Her motto goes something like this: ”I treat my customers the way I would like to be treated.” That fits her to a T. Very caring, very generous with her time, and a heck of a lot of fun to work with. That’s Alix. Call her. You will not be disappointed.”

"Alix is detail-oriented and one of the most organized individuals I know professionally. My husband and I were fortunate to work with her through our first home-buying process. She made the process easy-to-follow and organized when buying a foreclosed home. Her support throughout the process was superb. Additionally, I have had the pleasure of observing her as a leader of several group meetings and functions in the Grand Rapids Area. She is both community- and client-driven, which is truly inspirational. "
