To sell my house, while I was looking for a better realtor, I found the First Valley Realty with good reviews. I called and spoke to Realtor Alex Urbano. He was very prompt to answer my queries. He is very nice gentleman with positive attitude. He got my house deep cleaning, pressure washing and staging before putting it on sale. My house got good response from buyers and sold fast. I appreciate his help in selling my house and would recommend to my friends and family to get his services in future.

"Alex Tafoya came highly recommended to us when we finally decided it was time to purchase our first home together. Right from the start he was incredibly cordial and accommodating. Even before we started looking at properties he took the time to sit down with us and listen to our wants and desires – all the things that were important to us in finding not just a house, but a home that we could see ourselves living in for many years to come.
As we began the actual search it became obvious that Alex had a wealth of knowledge about the California real estate market and specifically the region that we were considering. He was very thorough in his search and gave us a chance to visit a number of homes in the areas we desired in order to get a sense of what we liked and didn’t like. At the time of our search, the market was turning and finding the right house for us proved to be challenging to say the least, but he persevered and ultimately helped us find the home that fit – not just financially but more importantly with our lifestyle. After we agreed that this house was the one, he helped us submit the offer and was involved and supportive throughout the entire closing process. We have been enjoying our new home now for many months due in large part to Alex for helping us realize our dream."

When my Husband and I first met Alex at one of his First Time Home Buyers Seminar we knew right away we found the right realtor!
He impressed us from day one as a true professional with great personality. This being our first home buying experience, we had no referrals or Friends that can give us advice about buying a house. Majority of the people we knew are either Still Renting or living with relatives. As YOUNG NEWLYWEDS I thought there was no way we could purchase a home! But Alex proved us wrong and got us into the house we wanted all within a month!
Our experience with him has been great. HE WAS ALWAYS TRUE TO HIS WORDS & I'm soo very grateful to work with a Realtor that I can TRUST. We can't thank you & the team enough for helping us with this process. We thought it was going to be hard but yet you stood thru it all from beginning to end!
If we ever decide to sell, we will definitely go through First Valley Realty again! Thank you Alex for Making Our home buying Dream a Reality

I want to Thank Urbano "Alex" and his team for making our dream come true. As a 1st time home buyer I was pretty scared, but Urbano was with us every step of the way. If we texted or emailed, he responded right away. He always explained the paperwork and the process of each step we took, he was very involved and for our final signing he was there to answer any questions we had. I am extremely Thankful that he made this experience extremely easy and we had great laughs, we couldn't have done it without him and his team. It only took 15 days to close and Damn that was fast.
If anyone is looking for a home I highly recommend him.
Urbano Mil Gracias por tu paciencia y por ayudarnos.

We moved to San Jose from Seattle in January of 2013. We did not know anyone and wanted to buy a home. Alex was our agent and I have to say we could not have been any happier!!! Alex was patient and really understood our needs. He did not want us to compromise at all. He spent all his weekends with us looking for homes as that was the only availability we had. He bent backwards for us. Whenever we had a question for him he would respond to us immediately.
And here is one more thing that I am really impressed by him is that even though we have bought the house, he is still calling us just to see how we are doing. This is what we call AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE! I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone.

Alex is an excellent agent and has vast knowledge in real estate and is a good strategist. He keeps you updated and has answers to most of your questions. I would definitely refer him if you are interested in selling, buying, or investing a home.

Like many of these other reviewers we had a wonderful experience with Alex. My husband and I are/were first time home buyers and knew very little to nothing about real estate. Alex was super informative and took time to answer all of our questions. You can tell that he is not only very knowledgeable about the market but also that he really cares about the experience of his clients.
We felt that he did a great job representing us to the seller and also helped us navigate a rather difficult loan process. We would highly recommend him to anyone buying or selling their home. We were able to find a home we absolutely love in a fantastic community. While I believe it is our "forever" home, if we were to ever attempt to sell or buy anything else in the future we would definitely work with Alex again. If you are looking for an agent call him.

That moment when you realize that time is precious and you have to act now. Married, beautiful son and nothing more perfect than to call home your own. Husband and I were referred to Alex by a close friend. We were on the hunt right away. With work and a three year old it was hard to manage extra time. Alex was always on top, always was getting things done. All options were laid out, never the run around.
Of course there's always a slip up, we were expecting second baby boy. We had no choice to delay the hunt of buying a home in the meantime. Good thing Alex didn't give up on us. Always one call away.
Good time came, two boys, in need of more room and we were found back to Alex. Found a good opportunity and moved on it right away. A month later my husband and I, young, young parents were proud to have a house to call our own. Not only does Alex have family, many clients but still managed to put work first until it's done and satisfying.

My husband and I were tired of living pay check to pay check.. especially with our growing family. Urbano not only did it once in 2014-San Jose but we kept in close contact and just over a month now did it the second time! bought a house (offered a job transfer) to match our needs and budget in Fresno. urbano only one call away makes it happen. with the guide and the experience, trust!

I must admit I trusted no one and I was skeptical about Alex when I was 1st referred to him. I have family who work in the industry and only trusted them to help in this realm but they are from SoCal. I emailed Alex and gave it a shot.
Finally the day came to meet and I have to say Alex is nothing but a pure professional, he even made time to show us our 1st 2 homes. The hunt had started.
Our busy family only had time to go house hunting on the weekends so it was a challenging task. Never the less Alex made time to help us. We spent all our 4th of July with him seeing a total of about 20 houses (rare case scenario; we wanted our new place asap and didn't care how long it would take or how many homes we saw in a day). Finally on July 5th we found what we were looking for and all those hours of hunting paid off. He answered all of our questions and never once complained. Alex is a humble man, respectful and above all professional.
I definitely recommend Alex! We are grateful for all the help and all the time he dedicated to make sure our family had spectacular service.

Alex is a great realtor! Alex listened to our wants and needs to help us find not only the perfect home, but the perfect neighborhood too. We are 100% satisfied with our experience with Alex. He was extremely attentive and always responsive when we had questions or wanted to see different homes. He is an extremely hard worker and will do anything it takes to make sure his clients are happy!
My husband and I will definitely recommend him to anyone we know house hunting in the Bay Area.

Alex is WODNERFUL... I bought my first home in February 2013, and as a first time home buyer I had a lot of questions, and Alex was always so helpful to answer all my questions and concerns. He knew exactly what I wanted when looking for my first home, and went that extra mile to locate that for me. He was very patient with me as I was often was un-patient and picky with my home searches but he always knew how to guide me in the right direction to keep me focused on what I was looking for... I would recommend Alex to anyone who is buying their first or tenth home, as he is a professional, knowledgeable realtor who knows exactly what customer service means.
Thanks Alex for everything!!!

I can't thank Alex and his First Valley Realty staff enough for helping us fulfill our dream of buying a house. As first time home buyers we didn't know nothing about the process of buying a home. Alex took the time to help us understand. He will always keep us informed and if we had any questions he will answer us right away. If you are Iooking to buy or sale a home I really recommend First Valley Realty.
