We have worked with Alexis several times. She helped us when we retired and sold our home. Alexis helped us to rent an apartment while we searched for our retirement condominium. Now she is assisting us again as we will transition to an over 55 community. We recommend Alexis to you without reservation. She is by far the best realtor we have ever met - brilliant and able to assist in defining the client’s goals and strives to meet them. She is above all kind and compassionate - takes the time required and is supportive at every step in the process. Choose Alexis, you will be very satisfied and grateful you did!

Alexis was wonderful to work with regarding the sale of our home. She brought a warmth and made us very comfortable and at ease with her guidance. We were always given plenty of notice if we needed to be out of our house for a showing or inspection, and kept us up to date with any progress during the sale. She also had the foresight to build into our P&S the ability to extend the closing by a month if we needed as the home we purchased was a new build. What a stress saver that was as we experienced several delays!

Recently we were fortunate to work with Alexis at Porchlight Properties to help us sell our previous home and purchase our current home. Alexis helped make the process as easy and smooth as possible. She was incredibly responsive to all our questions and requests and we felt she always had our best interest in mind. Her market knowledge and experience helped us sell our previous property well above our list price which helped make our current home much more attainable. We recommend Alexis to everyone we encounter that is about to enter the home selling/buying process.

Alexis is simply wonderful! After an unsuccessful Fall, she was recommended to us by a fellow realtor who thought incredibly highly of her. This recommendation ended up being everything we hoped for and more. Throughout our process, Alexis was communicative, thoughtful, and asked all of the right questions. Alexis is SHARP; whenever we sent Alexis a property that we were interested in, she was quick to respond and shared lots of valuable perspective. We noticed quickly that Alexis would walk through properties with a keen eye and would ask the selling agent poignant questions. Alexis is also incredibly creative and dedicated. She got to know what we were looking for quickly, and recommended a property that met all of our needs and exceeded our expectations. She even drove almost an hour to visit a foreclosed property with us - we literally walked through it in the dark, with our phones as flashlights - if that is not dedication, Im not sure what is. Before we met Alexis, we thought we were going to be completely out of luck in such a competitive market, but due to Alexis expertise, we are in our perfect first home. I would recommend Alexis in a heartbeat, she is deeply knowledgeable, dedicated to her clients, and simply incredible.

My wife and I wanted to move into our current neighborhood so badly, that we would drive around it hoping someone would put up a for sale sign in front of our eyes. We figured that was the only way we could have a fighting chance against a listing being posted in Ipswich. Then we met with Alexis, who made us believe that maybe it could actually happen for us. And then thanks to her, it did! She sold our condo well over asking, which put us in the position to snag our dream home. We only knew her for a couple of months before she made our pipe dream become a reality. I could not recommend her more. Not only is she a rockstar realtor, but she is an awesome, kind, and compassionate human being. I’ll never forget the way she (and her kids) told us we got the house. Thank you so much Alexis!!

Worked with Alexis and Porchlight properties to buy a house and sell a house. They were fantastic. Very responsive, always was there for us when needed. They were very personable and we became friends over the time spent together, which made them easy and enjoyable to work with. Always put our interest first and made both buying and selling as easy as possible. Made sure we had all the info needed and made the process smooth and simple. Would highly recommend.

My husband and I attended a first time home buyers session hosted by Alexis and it was great to learn about the housing market. With her extensive knowledge and guidance we were able to purchase a new construction. While it was being built, Alexis provided great feedback on the choices I had to make such as flooring, carpet, cabinets, and etc. It was so great to work with her that I recommended Alexis to one of my best friends who was also a first time home buyer! Highly recommend Alexis!

We met Alexis at one of her open houses. She was very informative and friendly. She reached out to us afterwards to see if we had any questions and inquired about our search. After additional conversations where she provided us great advice on the home buying process, she not only became our buying agent but also our selling agent. She guided us through the entire process, making sure everything was in order for the dual closes, including getting us into our forever home, two days before our selling close so that we did not have to put our things in storage. We were so impressed with her diligence, knowledge and genuine passion in helping her clients that we recommended her to our daughter and her husband for their first home buying experience. We would recommend Alexis again and again without hesitation or reservation!

Alexis and her team helped me and my husband find THE perfect fit home for us and I could not have enjoyed the experience more. She is AWESOME, so responsive, helpful, realistic and passionate about finding your next home (not a HOUSE but a HOME). I would use her again and again but fortunately for us, we are in the home we intend to live in for a long time! So instead, I will pay it forward by supporting her business, referring her to as many of my friends and family as possible! You will not regret working with her!!

Alexis is an amazing realtor who has become a friend. Her experience, professionalism and knowledge in the business is the best!. Not only is she helpful and easy to talk to, she makes the home selling process stress free with a smile! She was always in constant communication with us making us feel like we were her most important client.

Alexis was AMAZING! Being first time home buyers in a crazy market and not knowing what to expect, Alexis always steered us in the right direction! Our sellers weren’t even moved out at time of closing and even then Alexis told us everything would work out and it did! We are now going on almost 6 years in our home and couldn’t be happier! We highly recommend Alexis and trust her 100%! We will definitely reach out when we plan our next move!

We were in need of finding a home quickly and Alexis delivered! She was always flexible, quick to respond to any questions we had if she didnt have the answer she made it a priority to get it for us asap. This was my first home buying experience and I couldnt imagine it going any smoother and she is definitely the one to thank for that.

Winter of 2017: We had no idea really how to sell our condo (What should we do for repairs? Should we paint? What should our asking price be? Is it too much? Too little?) Alexis walked us through the whole process. Open House was the night after a snowstorm. We had almost 100 people show up. Condo sold for well over asking price. Then we had to find a house. Alexis was convincing for a seller who had taken their property off the market . . . We signed papers for our condo we sold and the house we bought on the same day. . .all because of Alexis.

Alexis helped us buy our new home and sell our old home in this crazy market. She was super responsive, answered all our questions, and dealt with all the nuances of buying and selling old homes on the north shore. Her network of team members were top notch. Weve referred her out to several friends since and wont hesitate to do so in the future. With all the choices out there in the real estate industry, youd be foolish to not select Alexis for help with buying or selling your home!

Alexis is best! Honestly, she was so patient with us during our LONG decision making process and she always had our needs as her top priority. She was creative and strategic, allowing us to buy our new house before we even put our old house on the market to give us the reassurance we needed. Sold our old house in one weekend with multiple offers!!

Working with Alexis Surpitski MacIntyre to sell the house we had lived in for over 27 years was such a smooth and easy process. Alexis was extremely positive in all our interactions and made what I believed would be an extremely anxiety ridden process seem easy. She always responded immediately to any questions we had, helped us with each step of the process, and made us feel like we were the only client she was working with despite knowing this was not the case. I would highly recommend working with Alexis for all your real estate needs.

My wife and I selected Alexis after attending one of her first time home buyers sessions. We purchased a new construction home from a developer with her support. She was fantastic throughout the whole process. Would recommend.

We had Alexis as our realtor and could not be happier with our experience with her. She was patient with us through what was a long process on our end as we couldn’t decide what to do. However when we found the house for us she was there every step of the way and helped make it all happen so seamlessly. Thanks to Alexis our house was sold in a week with multiple offers and we are now in our dream home. Looking back and moving forward I would say there is no better realtor in the game!

Alexis and Porchlight Properties are the reason Im in my dream home right now! As a first-time homebuyer, I was immediately overwhelmed the moment I decided I wanted to purchase a condo of my own. Thankfully, my friends recommended Alexis - she made everything easier, helping me navigate the crazy housing market and find the right properties for me. Every time I walk in my front door, I still cant believe that this condo is mine! I got everything on my wish list and more thanks to Alexis.

Highly professional and trustworthy. Alexis is on top of her game and I would recommend to my friends and family. Specifically, she helped me secure a home in a highly competitive market, and in my circumstance, we were not even the highest bid.

Alexis MacIntyre was instrumental in leading my husband and me to our perfect home. We are thrilled and excited about moving in and enjoying our life there.The qualities that were essential to this success were first, that she LISTENED attentively, getting to know us and what we were looking for in a new home. Second, she was PATIENT as we sifted through choices and priorities. Third, she assisted in trying to VISUALiZE for us living in a particular house and it’s community. Fourth, her SENSE OF HUMOR was invaluable in helping us step back from the intensity of the process to re-center and focus on the big picture. Five, whether little steps or big decisions, Alexis kept us ON TRACK until the process was completed and we met with success. Being ON TRACK meant that Alexis was always available to us and no questions were considered trivial. We never felt pressured in any way.Now that we have happily found our new home, we can say that our quest and finding was FUN. The serious decisions were punctuated by many laughs. These qualities that I have enumerated above, plus Alexis’ caring interest and enthusiasm helped us find a home that was awesome for us as a couple, but also exciting for our daughter, her husband and our three young grandsons. Additionally, we always felt that Alexis was our advocate as she led us to our new home that will be a transition to the rest of our lives—-We will always be grateful for her professionalism and expertise and personal qualities that have meant so much to us through the process and that we will remember fondly as part of the story of our new home in Ipswich.Sincerely,Becky&Phil Lepanto

Outstanding experience purchasing a home. Great knowledge of the market, helped us work through a couple of issues (including with another realtor we used to sell in a different town), and couldnt be happier.

Without Alexiss help, we never would have found our new home in this crazy Boston housing market. Her diligence got us into an early showing of a property, and we were able to work directly with the sellers before the originally listed to agree on an offer.

Our experience with Alexis was terrific! She was very informed and insightful with regards to selling our condo in Salem. Her analysis and pricing was spot on, and she was very easy to work with. She explained everything thoroughly and deftly navigated us through selling a home for the first time. Alexis is a very easy person to work with and she got the results we were looking for in our sale!

Recently we had the privilege of working with Alexis to sell our home and purchase another and we couldnt be happier with the experience. Alexis provided top quality service as both our selling and buying agent and made the process incredibly easy. Alexis was always available to answer questions or explain the process and she was always very quick to respond. Trusting Alexiss guidance we listed our home in a competitive market and a day after the first open house (which was PACKED) we had 4 offers, all substantially above list price and we were able to put that unexpected profit towards our new home. We are so happy we listened to her! Even after both closings were completed, Alexis stayed in touch to make sure all questions were addressed and that any lose ends were taken care of. We are so grateful for her knowledge and expertise that helped us purchase our new home without issue. We would recommend her real estate services to anyone.

We met Alexis at one of the open house when we were looking for houses. So glad we went and met her!!! Alexis is so friendly and great to work with!! She helped us find our home and also helped us sell our old house!!! After we bought our house, I recommend Alexis to our daughter and son-in-law when they were looking to buy a house, which they bought!! I will definitely recommend Alexis to anyone who is looking for a real estate agent!!!!

This is a very enthusiastic THANK YOU to Alexis Surpitski-MacIntyre for all she did to get us in to our new home! And thanks, as well for all you did in selling our prior home at the same time!We wanted to move to a specific school district that we felt would be a better fit for our two children. We chose Alexis after having had little success with a previous realtor.Alexis was extremely knowledgeable about pricing and offer strategies for both buyers and sellers, and skillfully guided us through a market that was extremely competitive at the time.She was patient, reassuring and helpful as we viewed many (and I mean many) properties, which resulted in our placing an offer on a home in Boxford. The home inspection turned up some issues and we found ourselves back at square one. Alexis kept her focus and positive energy working for us, and we ultimately found a wonderful property in Topsfield.We also had a unique financing situation which involved several factors, the most important of which was we had yet to sell our own home. The sellers of our (hopefully) new home didn’t want a contingent sale. Alexis, working with her finance partners, put together an innovatively structured offer which addressed all the seller’s concerns. The offer was so well crafted in fact, that we beat out six other offers to get the house!Oddly, the mechanics of this offer proved unnecessary. Just as Alexis’ expertise proved invaluable in our new home purchase, her knowledge of marketing, staging and pricing in home sales allowed us to sell our old home well prior to our new purchase date. This freed up the financing necessary to make our new home purchase largely with cash proceeds from the sale of our previous home.If we hadn’t had the benefit of Alexis’ professionalism, patience, and thorough understanding of the local real estate market, it’s safe to say we would not be in our beautiful new home today.Thanks again for everything, Alexis! You’re the best!
