Alethea Busby is the consummate Realtor professional! She not only knows the market inside and out, she is extremely detail oriented and she is supportive every step of the way from searching for your new home, to negotiating for it, to closing it! I have worked with several Realtors and Alethea is by far the best. I felt very well taken care of and confident in her experience and knowledge. I highly recommend Alethea for your real estate needs! She is the BEST!
We had the pleasure of working with Alethea to buy our first starter home in 2010 and had an amazing experience. We didn’t know what to expect, but Alethea helped us through the process and quickly learned what we were looking for. We were so pleased with our experience that we called Alethea again this year to help us sell our starter home and buy a new home.
This market was certainly different than it was in 2010, but once again Alethea helped us through the process. After 5 years she still remembers our eccentricities and the small details that both my husband and I get hung up on when looking for a home. We were both so amazed with the lengths she went to help us through both the buying and selling process. We had 20+ offers on our house in the first 36 hours of listing. Finding a new house was a bit more of a struggle as our budget wasn’t very flexible, but Alethea worked with us, and our busy schedules, until we found our new home.
Alethea clearly loves her job, and it shows in the work that she does. She has a wealth of knowledge about things I wouldn’t have even imagined were related to real estate. Alethea was with us the entire way from the moment we began planning to sell our home until… well actually months after buying our new home she’s still sending us reminders to double check an issue that the previous owners of our home agreed to fix. There is so much more to buying and selling a home than looking up listings… Alethea knows it well, and it was so much fun to have her walk us through it all. If you’re looking for a new home or planning to sell a home, you’re going to be spending a lot of time with a real estate agent. Alethea makes the process fun and it’s more like hanging out with family. I can’t imagine that there is a better real estate agent in North Texas.
Alethea walked us through the entire process from sale to purchase with professionalism and poise. My wife and I hadn’t bought a new home in 18 years and we didn’t have a clue what step to take first. A friend of ours put us in contact with Alethea. She made it very easy, we just followed her lead and what seemed to be a mountain became a mole hill.
Our house sold on the first day it was put on the market without us doing a thing to it. And it sold for full price! She knew exactly what direction we needed to take and it was smooth and easy.
She was right by our side advising us on our purchase of a new home as well, she found what parameters we wanted and she found great homes for us to look at.
Alethea really listens to what a buyer/seller’s concerns are and is very determined to get her clients exactly what they are wanting and making it happen. She answered all my crazy questions 24/7 without fail. She has a great personality so that you feel comfortable confiding in her. By the end of the process she was like a family member I had to say goodbye to at the end of a visit.
I will always recommend and use Alethea in the future. She is a true professional and cares about her clients above and beyond expectations.
My company transferred me to the North Dallas area with a tight time table of 90 days to complete my relocation. The real estate market was much more aggressive than anywhere I had previously been. I had received contact information for several local Realtors when I first arrived but I was fortunate enough to make the acquaintance of a local business professional who highly recommended Alethea Busby. I contacted Alethea right away. I was a first time home buyer with almost no expectation what to expect from the experience or the local market. Alethea was able to put me right at ease. She had properties for me to look at the very next day. With each property she carefully paid attention to what I liked and did not like. When my family arrived a couple weeks later to help with the house hunt, Alethea brought them right up to speed on our progress and was equally attentive to their housing preferences as well.
The magic moment was a meet up with Alethea to see two houses in a community but she asked me to meet her at a different address. This home had just come on the market. It threw me off at first because we had agreed to look at the other two but she insisted I see this new listing first. It was home. I saw the other two houses that evening but Alethea knew it and so did I. I asked her how she did it… how she knew this new listing she slipped in there was it. She smiled and said, “I know you and I know your family. I knew what you were looking for.” Wow! Did she ever.
At closing, I was reminiscing about the summer adventure of house hunting with Alethea and was recounting Alethea’s response to my question of how she did it. My daughter chimed in and said “Alethea Busby: The Realtor who knows what you want even if you don’t.” How true.
My summer began with contracting a Realtor to help me find a house and it ended by enjoying a meal with a friend in our new home. Alethea Busby is that friend. We’re so thankful for her professionalism, knowledge, and expertise; which are second to none. But in the end, it is her friendship we value most.
In early 2012, my then fiancé wanted to sell his home in Frisco. Our wedding date was mid-April and I was hoping we could find a larger house before then. I called a friend of mine and asked her if she knew a really smart, assertive, successful Realtor who could find a way to sell his house quickly. She referred me to Alethea Busby.
From the first day on, Alethea gave us expert advice on certain updating tips that would be necessary to make this older house more appealing. When the house went on the market we had 2 offers in three days and we ended up selling it for full price!
During that time, she also found us the perfect house for our wants and needs and we even got it for a great price! What I found different about Alethea was she treated us like old friends; she wasn’t going to allow us to bid on a house with too many issues just to make a sale. She had our best interest at heart. I will call on her again when it’s time to use a Realtor!
We feel very lucky to have found Alethea during our search for a home to lease. She showed us multiple listings & was very patient & so delightful from the moment we met her. Alethea gave us insight and information on various neighborhoods, when we finally decided to buy our home, there was no question she would be our realtor!! We saw multiple listings & Alethea never made us feel rushed or pressured in our decision to purchase our home. I have nothing but great remarks to say about Alethea!! She bonded with our kids, she felt like our family friend through it all. She’s trustworthy, patient, and very knowledgeable in the field. So glad we got to meet Alethea & now we have a place to call home that’s in an awesome neighborhood with great families!
Alethea sold my house for the asking price in three days! Then, with a full understanding of what I wanted, helped me find a new on in my desired neighborhood and price range. On both sides of the process, she was the consummate professional and represented my interests much better than I could have asked for.
A couple of days before my closing, an unexpected issue came up. Everyone insisted it was too late to change the outcome. When Alethea realized I was being given the run around, she jumped right in with both feet and came to my rescue and fixed the problem to my satisfaction. I thought I was going to have to do it myself. I was amazed at the response she got. It was professionalism at it’s finest. I felt safe in her hands and knew she was taking care of me.
Alethea Busby has been a friend of ours for many years. During those years she sold our first house in one day and found the house we still live in after 12 years. She has also helped one of our close friends sell his house. She truly helps people find their home not just a house.
When the time comes for us to move again we know we can rely on her to help us find our new home. She is by far the most dedicated Realtor!
I have used the services of Alethea Busby for all my real estate needs since 2002.Alethea has sold a house for me and has helped me with leasing 2 additional properties in the DFW area. I have been very pleased with the results I have had and would highly recommend using Alethea for any real estate transaction. As a small time, out of state real estate investor, I will continue to use Alethea for my future real estate needs.
