Alex is the ultimate real estate agent. If you are selling or buying in or near Simi, you must use him. Me and my family have used Alex for several transactions over 20+ years. Every experience phenomenal. Found us perfect houses at great prices. Couldn't be more happy.

I want to thank Alex Gandel and his entire team with the recent sale of my home. As a formal realtor, Alex reminded me of how much I really did not know about the complexities of attempting a For Sale by Owner transaction. In my case, the transaction became complicated for a number of reasons, one being the drop out of two buyers due to funding and other reasons. However, we remained focused on the end result, held firm on the current value of my home and Alex and his team brought it home in the end. I truly cant imagine if I had to maneuver through a sale with the complications that arose

We just sold our home in Simi through Alex and his team. We cannot recommend them highly enough! Alex and his team did a fantastic job marketing our home. It literally sold in ONE DAY for well above asking price. They promptly responded to any questions we had, either via text or call (thank you, Jen!). If you are looking to sell your home, look no further than "Team Gandel."
