It was a pleasure having Al work with me in the sale of my property. I've known him for a very long time and consider him a very trustworthy and hardworking individual. I really appreciated his patience in answering all my questions as the sale progressed. Highly recommend.
Allen was everything anyone would want in a realtor.
Having lived in SLCC for over 30 years, I was acquainted with Al through his ad in our yearly HOA booklet. I knew that he lived in the area and had been the agent involved in the sale of a number of houses locally. I felt that he would be the best choice for me because he appeared to be a person with long-time knowledge of real estate and of the properties in SLCC, It turned out that I was right because I needed a pro to deal with the conditions our neighborhood was left in after the second storm.. During the almost 12 weeks that my house was on the market we communicated almost daily. Throughout, Al remained confident as he tried different approaches. Finally his confidence payed off. I would not hesitate to recommend Al in the future.
We were referred to Al Shields by my mother-in-law, who worked with him for her home purchase, and we couldn't be happier with the service we received! As first-time homebuyers, we had absolutely no idea what to expect as far as the process is concerned, and Al took care of everything for us. His recommendation for mortgage broker was fantastic, as was the home inspector and insurance agent he worked with. I would 100% refer Al to anyone looking for a real estate agent. A fantastic experience all the way around!
You will not be disappointed when using Alan Shields.
Alan Shields was everything we could ask for in a broker. From the moment we enlisted his services, Alan fully outlined his approach and expectations for selling our home. His professionalism was apparent in every facate of the marketing/sale of the house. Alan provided pricing targets, helpful pointers for making the home more appealing, held open house reviews, and guided us through every detail of the sale. We had three (3) competing offers within the first two days, and completed an agreement for the sale of our house on the third day, at a price sustantially higher than our asking price. Alan Shields continued his helpful assistance to us throughout the entire closing process, including helpful advice on navigating our way thru two major hurricane cycles which would have potentially disrupted the final closing. All in all, Alan Shields is be a broker we would strongly recommend to anyone selling a home in today's market.
Al Shields is the complete professional. He has helped me make wise investment decisions that continue to pay off today. His local knowledge, warm & engaging personality, punctuality and attention to detail have made him a pleasure to work with. I consider Al a friend and would recommend him to friends and family.
It was such a pleasure working with Al Shields. His availability to answer all of my questions as a first-time homebuyer and his availability to travel out of his local area were so appreciated. Al knew what I was looking for and looked through 3 counties searching for just the right place...and found the perfect home for me! His extensive knowledge of the Tampa Bay area was invaluable and led to finding the perfect match!
