This review can truly do no justice for the gratitude and appreciation that I have for Irina. She is an amazing realtor! She is fierce, full of positive energy, has a fighting spirit, and her knowledge in this industry is unparalleled. She has been helping people find their homes and create wealth through real estate for many years. We absolutely love our new home and let me tell you we found this home in just 11 days and the team she recommends and partners herself with are top notch just like her. The lender she recommended closed in just 21 days, that's unheard of. We actually had keys in hand in 28 days, less than a month after we bought a home! It was only 28 days because the seller needed an extra week. If she is recommending someone they are solid you can count on that. Yes she’s great at what she does but who she is as a person makes it so much better. She has a big heart and you can feel the love she has for people. She’s spunky and full of positivity. She's a person that just feels good to be around because she gives off that kind of energy. I will recommend Irina Allision with Apex real estate brokerage to all of my friends, family and anyone else that will listen!!

Irina was absolutely stellar. She epitomizes perfection in her line of work! She was always available and fought for us every step of the way! We never had to worry and she always stayed one step ahead. Irina thoroughly explained every aspect of the home Buying process. She provided amazing recommendations for vendors (lender, inspectors, Attorney, contractors, etc.). Each person that she introduced us to did an amazing job. I highly recommend Irina to assist in your home buying/property management needs. Irina WILL be the person that I conduct any property-related business with in the future.

I credit Irina and her team at Apex Real Estate Brokerage with my success getting into real estate investing. She has helped me with rental properties, flipping houses and even found me the house I currently own. I honestly wouldn't be where I am today without them. Irina fights for her clients more so than anyone I have ever met. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to get into investing in real-estate, buying or selling.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness Ambitious, Passionate & Honest!!! These are three words I would use to describe Irina & the APEX Real Estate Brokerage team!!! As a beginner Real Estate Investor, it is essential to have knowledgeable and motivated people in your corner and my wife and I hit a HOME RUN with Irina and her team! From Irina’s great personality and responsiveness to her wealth of knowledge in the Real Estate space, we could not ask for more in a Real Estate partner. Since working with Irina, we have identified our first property, in just the first week, closed after 30 days and had a 2-year lease agreement in our hands after only 8 days on the market!!! Needless to say, our experience has been AMAZING, and we are very much looking forward to continuing our relationship with Irina and APEX to build our business!!! THANK SO MUCH YOU Irina!!!

I and my wife are writing this review from our hearts. We truly could not have been blessed with a more wonderful, Knowledgeable and caring Realtor than Irina Allison! She was referred to us by long time friends and what a great match. We were able to share with her our concerns and fears of being 1st time home buyers and our past disappointments. She put us at ease right away and made sure we knew that she was going to do everything possible to find us our long awaited home. Once she knew what we were looking for she kept in constant contact with us and even communicated with us while she was on vacation, outstanding!!!! Irina took us to see homes and remembered everything we wanted in a home even when we had forgotten that we were mentioning those things to her. Irina was on it, she pointed out the good of each property and the bad, always keeping in mind what we wanted, She is so easy to trust. In no time Irina helped me and my wife find the perfect home for our family. She was very involved in the process and that made us trust her more, she truly had our best interest at heart! We also liked the fact that she was able to refer us to a real-estate attorney and a home inspector. They were knowledgeable, answered all of our questions and were just as involved as Irina! She has endless contacts all with a common goal of helping you find your dream home! We feel so blessed and will definitely use Irina again and refer her to our friends and family members, you really can not do better than Irina! We Thank you Irina, God Bless! The Mcknights

Irina recently helped us sell our home (which she helped us purchase 6yrs ago for 167,500). We sold it for $340,000 which is TWICE as much than what we purchased it for in addition to $25K MORE than our asking price!. Not to mention it was appraised for the full purchase price. We were in pure shock. Her team was awesome. From the staging photographer to the lender. Everyone was easily accessible and always answered our questions timely. Irina and her team were rockstars and explained the whole process step by step for us. We highly recommend APEX Real Estate Brokerage to anyone looking to sell or buy.

We had such an awesome experience working with Irina Allison. She made the entire process of buying our first home fast and easy. With years of experience, Irina was extremely helpful and highly knowledgeable when it came down to certain aspects of a home during a showing. Having Irina's representation made us feel very confident in all of the decisions that we made. She is very passionate about what she does, you can see and sense that from the very first conversation you have with her. Irina is a professional and dedicated person, even after closing she still checks up on us. We would definitely recommend this amazing agent to anyone looking to buy the perfect home! Thank you Irina for everything

My family and I knew we wanted to have an investment in real estate but it was difficult to do so... until we met Irina. Irina took her time to listen to our investment goals, educate us with her experiences, and ultimately find the PERFECT property for us. Not to mention an amazing tenant was found and moved in flawlessly with Irina’s assistance (she even helped with changing utilities, the rental agreement, and even communications with the homeowner association). Irina’s knowledge with investment properties is impressive. Her communication was top notch (she quickly answered EVERY email and text question... and there were a lot :). She genuinely cares about her clients and is highly recommended. Thank you Irina for going above and beyond!

Irina will be there for you and get the job done in a professional and timely fashion. Simply the best! Irina at APEX Real Estate Brokerage went above and beyond to help me sell my home. I couldn't be happier with her service and professionalism. She is an extremely proactive broker and kept everyone in the loop, and on their toes, making sure the sale went through smoothly and as quickly as possible. Anyone, in any related industry, could take lessons from Irina on how to effectively deal with the challenges that arise when transacting a real estate deal. She was there for me from the beginning, offering advice and suggestions as well as providing contacts for all the necessary work that needed to be completed. I don't know what I would have done without her.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value Irina was our broker for both selling and buying a house this summer. Our experience for both was beyond our expectations. Irina gave us solid advice on how to prepare our house for the market. We received multiple offers within a few days, and had the house under contract in less than a week. She made sure we got top dollar, and the whole process was very smooth. Shortly after we sold our house, Irina’s advice helped us secure our dream home (which also had multiple offers). We were able to put in a competitive offer that came in just over the next highest. She did everything she could to make sure the closing process was kept on track. We are so appreciative of Irina’s help and support in selling and buying during this very unusual time.

Irina was such a pleasure to work with both professionally and personally. We have worked with her for the purchase of 2 investment properties and our dream home, as well as renting out our investments. Irina is a wealth of knowledge in the real estate industry, she never left any questions unanswered and always responded to our questions promptly- evenings and weekends included (so I don't know when this woman sleeps lol) She gets us top dollar for our rentals, great tenants, and we never are worried about a vacancy. She is definitely the only realtor we would use, and I would never hesitate to recommend her! Irina is absolutely the best in her field!! I have used her 4 times now and will only continue to use her for all my realtor needs! She has sold my home for more than asking and navigates the deals for quick closings!! She is very knowledgeable, helpful, responds quickly, looks out for my best interest, and very reliable!! I can’t say enough about how she is excellent at her job and superior in customer service!! Don’t look further, reach out to her now!!

Irina came highly recommended to me by a family member, and delivered from start to finish. She made my sale as seamless as possible, and really fought to get me TOP dollar. Her advice throughout the process made everything much easier, and I look forward to working with her again!

I can't say enough good words about Irina Allison! She provided all of our options when we were deciding to move. We considered renting or selling. After carefully listening to our concerns Irina presented all options. We decided to sell and she walked us through the process every step of the way. As a result of her knowledge, we managed to have multiple offers all over asking. Trust Irina! She is a true real estate professional with your best interest top of mind.

Irina is without a doubt a 5 star Realtor! I, along with many family members, have been working with Irina for about 10 years. Irina's knowledge of Real Estate matters and her ability to negotiate deals. I affectionately refer to her as my bulldog when we are in any type of RE negotiations without a match. She describes and guides you through the whole process, whether it be for a purchase/sale of a SF home, multiple unit rentals, or if you are not sure what your options are, she is there to answer them. I highly recommend Irina to anyone that is looking for a realtor with a great attitude, personable, honest, has confidence in her abilities, and is truly interested in helping others reach their RE goals!

All you need to know is that IRINA IS GREAT!. Irina impressed me with our first meeting. She gave me informed options and made the entire selling process VERY easy. This was my 1st sale and she made each step very easy and easy to follow. She has helpful professional connections as well. She is great with communication by phone, text or email to ensure I was kept in the loop throughout. Highly recommend her!

Irina did a great job selling our condo. Her knowledge and skill garnered us 20k over the asking price!! She took the time to explain each step in the process. She also patiently answered all of my questions. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone selling their house.

Two years ago I posted the following review for Irina: I cannot speak highly enough of Irina Allison. She is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. She has worked with my family for years, and when it was my time to look for a duplex I knew I could trust her. She was honest in her opinions of the properties that we looked at, helped me understand the potential issues and income from each building, and was always available to answer my questions. I would recommend her to anyone! I am back again 2 years later to reiterate; my husband and I wanted to rent out a single family home, and Irina was our obvious choice to get it done. Irina always gets us top dollar for our rentals and provides feedback that helps our growing real estate investment portfolio. If you want someone who knows what they're doing, and can get you great tenants, Irina is the one for you!

Irina is an incredible realtor and person. She works tirelessly to get you a great deal and find the perfect home. My family and I have worked with Irina since 2012. She has helped us sell and buy two houses and even assisted us with our rental property. She has also helped my parents and several friends find their ideal homes. Thank you, Irina, for everything!

Want to purchase your new home? Irina is the person to go with! She has made this experience and decision making so much easier for me! Passion and dedication like no other. No question is too small or too big for her to answer, she comes well prepared and so understanding. Thank you Irina, you have no idea how grateful we are to have been able to work with you.

Irina is the most knowledgeable and hardest working person I know! She will give you 150% of her time to make the process of selling your home go as smoothly and successfully as possible, as she did for us. We had a loss in our family and needed to sell our childhood home. Irina is very understanding and compassionate of these situations from day 1 to closing and beyond. She was spot on addressing the property's value and will work hard to achieve top dollar, as she did for us. She keeps us updated on a timely manner and makes herself available to answer any questions we may have. Irina is very familiar with the areas she services which is a huge plus, providing recommendations we needed for respectfully cleaning-out mom's home. Irina is the best we've found and will provide nothing less than her best for you! We made the perfect choice selecting Apex Realty and having Irina help us through this transition in our family.
