Let’s be real: most estate agents talk faster than an auctioneer on espresso. They’ll tell you a “characterful” flat means the walls are bleeding damp. But John Alexander? They’re like the unicorn of the property world—actually honest.
I once called them about a listing that boasted “original features.” Instead of a sales pitch, the agent said, “Yeah, the original feature is a leak from 1997. Want to see it anyway?” I nearly snorted my coffee. Refreshing, right?
They’ve been around for decades—long enough to know that a “cozy” kitchen is just code for “you can cook and do yoga if you don’t breathe.” And they’ll tell you that, before you waste a Saturday viewing.
