We started by searching property websites such as Realtor.com and Redfin for active realtors with the highest reviews. Then we contacted our shortlist to see who responded in a timely manner, or at all. Then we had a conversation with the handful of realtors left on the list. It was Alexander's promptness, experiential knowledge of the neighborhood, and his professionalism in efficiently running a business that prompted us to choose him.
Alexander's staff were just as professional and helpful as he is. It was obvious that they are working as a team.

Alexander Fenske, was knowledgable about the market and the area.
He was positive and he listened to my goals and answered all my questions
as to the process. He made me feel comfortable in our dealings.
I called Alex on a Sunday and he came out, listed the house and it was sold 37 days later. He gave great advice on pricing and qualifying the buyer. Everything went smoothly and I enjoyed working with his whole team. I definitely will recommend him to anyone selling their home.

Our home sale went quick and we closed on the exact date we needed in order to relocate to Florida.
Thank you to Alex and his awesome team!

Michelle is a great agent to work with. She's polite, funny, honest, professional, and overall a great person. She made sure she was readily available for a few short notice showings, and was on top of everything. I would highly recommend Alex and his team for anyone I know buying or selling a home.
I couldn't be more pleased with Alexander's service and attention to detail. Alexander delivers from the beginning to the end with ideas, professionalism, and most important results. My house sold before they got it to market. He was a true professional throughout the entire process

Jessica Rock, Tinley Park, a seller from Tinley Park, IL
Alex Fenske is a great Real Estate Agent. From the moment he came through the door, I felt Alex would be a great advocate for selling my property. He was patient in receiving the listing agreement and answered all of my questions in such a timely manner. Alex Fenske really took the edge off of an all ready precarious situation and reassured me he would do his best to sell the property quickly. Alex sold our property in a week and I could not be happier about the price, which was more than we were asking for originally. I would recommend Alex Fenske for future sellers because he is kind, just, and precise.
Full disclosure Alex is my step-brother. However, I have no doubt he treats all of his clients as well as he treats family. Alex's communication was superb. He responded to every inquiry in a clear, timely manner ensuring we fully understood the home buying process.
Margaret Weise Chicago Heights,IL, a seller from Chicago Heights, IL
I am glad that I decided to go with Chicago Southland Homes. Alexander Fenske was confident that my property would sell in a short period of time.
Alexander Fenske did well in selling my property.
His staff worked well.
My overall experience would be considered great. I am pleased that everything was done in a timely manner. I would recommend Alexander Fenske at anytime.
Alex was an excellent realtor for our family's relocation from the city to Frankfort -- walked us carefully through the process, helped us look at potential issues with the house and negotiate the inspection and counter-offer process, and even referred us to some local contractors to help us with the inevitable repairs we'll have soon....I'd highly recommend Alex to anyone looking to move this way from the city.
Jeremy Franc - Charlotte, NC, a seller from Steger, IL
My wife and I would like to thank Alex Fenske (and team) on assisting us with selling our property in Steger, IL. From day one, Alex was on-board with what we wanted from a seller's point. There were many showings and offers. Alex did what was in our best interest. He didn't try to just sell the property to get a commission and move on. He was patient with our questions/concerns. He (and team) assisted on scheduling repairs for the property. We had already moved to NC while the house was listed. The relationship Alex (and team) kept with us during the whole time, made our move a lot easier. THANK YOU AND KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!
Always a pleasure dealing with Alex and Chicago Southwest Homes. Sold 2 properties fast. He knows the market. Dealing with everyone at the office wad an excellent experience.

Mike C, Crestwood, IL, a seller from Olrand Park, IL
We were pleased with the advice to prepare our home for sale. Our home sold for the price we needed and in time for us to find our new home before school started. Alex and his team are professionals that provide tools that make a hard process easier. 2018
Catherine Garcia, Mishawaka, IN, a seller from Midlothian, IL
I was not looking forward to selling my mom's house after she moved into my home. I thought it would be a big hassle and take forever. I worked with Alexander Fenske as my realtor and was pleasantly surprised by how quickly and smoothly the whole process went. He and his staff took care of every detail and made sure I got the best deal possible. I would recommend Alexander Fenske to anyone buying or selling a home in the Chicagoland area. 2018
Tom Chunis, Illinois, a seller from Oak Forest, IL
Alexanders first contact with me was professional, friendly and competent. He compared well against the other two agents I interviewed. I didnt believe that he expected the one to move as quickly as it did - five days for the negotiated contract!
Both assistants were accessible and helpful. They provided information and documents on a timely basis,
Speedy sale was appreciated especially over the holiday season. 2018
Astrea, South Chicago Suburbs, a seller from Calumet City, IL
Alex and his team were fantastic to work with. We had a unique home selling situation with various challenges. Alex was patient and professional throughout our process. His expertise, professionalism and willingness to guide us made all the difference.

Alex's team demonstrated a dedication to us as well and was equally as patient with our questions and concerns.throughout. So glad we were able to connect with Alex and his team. Without reservation, I would highly recommend Alex to anyone in need! Thank you. 2017
Jones - Flossmoor, Ill., a seller from Flossmoor, IL
My experience with Alex Fenske was simply outstanding. From my first meeting with Alex I felt he was knowledgeable and understanding of my concerns. When I finally decided to sell my House, I didn't have a realtor in mine and was leery of choosing someone random. But by chance I happened to find Southland Homes from a Google search. I called, spoke to Alex and from that welcoming voice on the phone I arranged a date and time we could meet to discuss the selling of my House. I had lived in my House for close to 16 years and was a little sad about selling, but I needed to downsize to something smaller since my kids were young adults now and not home as much. Alex and his staff were helpful and answered all my questions once we started the listing process. His marketing strategy was excellent and to our surprise we had a contract on my home from the first showing. Alex is professional, respectful and a qualified realtor who cares for his clents. I would overwhelming recommend Alex Fenske and staff to anyone buying or selling a home. 2017
Eric Weech Sr Chicago, IL., a seller from Olrand Park, IL
I choose to have Alex handle my needs at this property because of his tenacious follow up. I started this process back in November 2016
in looking for a realtor to sell some of my properties. Alex followed up with me MANY times and always had great answers to any of my questions. So when I was ready to list my properties, Alex was there to help me through the process. We listed the property in the middle of September and and in no time, we had a bonafide offer that followed through and bought the property. Alex and his staff were outstanding and I would highly recommend them to anyone. I know I will be using them for my other properties in the near future. Mr. Weech 2017

Alex did great networking us with the right contacts. Adam macatee spent quite a bit of his time with us. He was patient, respectful, professional, and quick to react to our needs. We saw from 10 to 15 houses with him and his attitude towards us didn't change. The whole keller Williams team did a great job with their timeliness and professionalism. We will recommend them and utilize them again 2017
Kevin and Ginny Mathers; Richton Park,, a seller from Olrand Park, IL
We never thought selling a house could be as seamless as it was. We are convinced it was the result of the information and support we received from Alex Fenske and the staff of Chicago Southland Homes. They provided an excellent service to us. Alex was aggressive with advertising and locating prospective buyers. As a result, our home was shown on the first day and we were offered a contract immediately. Alex guided us throughout the negotiations process, the exchange of contracts, and the closing and took great interest in our expressed needs and desires in a home. We felt comfortable and confident throughout this entire process. Alex is an agent who cares about his clients, and we will continue to recommend him to others. 2017
Alexander Fenske was consistently motivated from start to finish. His knowledge and experience with "as is" older homes was invaluable. Alex, and the Chicago southland staff excelled at communication, always kept me informed and up to date, always friendly and professional. I would definitely recommend them.
His local knowledge of rehabbers/brokers is what really made this sale happen
Dawn, and Amy are your greatest assets. Always friendly, and professional . Great communicators!

Paul Bennett. Atlanta, Ga, a seller from Tinley Park, IL
Alex kept in contact with me the entire time. Even with the worst of news and always had a plan and calmed me down. His staff, Dawn and Amy were by far the greatest to deal with as well.

Alex did a great job, both my wife and I were happy with Alex. I ask a lot of questions, and he answered all of them. Alex is both friendly and professional.
The broker staff was equally as great. Excellent service.. 2016
Alex and his team were great to work with! We moved up to the Chicago area, not knowing anything about the areas around the city. We were nervous about finding a place that would fit all of us, be in our budget, be in a decent area and love it. They found one that fit all the criteria! They worked together and with us so well! We don't plan on moving anytime soon, but when we do, and it's still in the Chicago area, we will definitely go to him! I recommend Alex and his team wholeheartedly!! 2016
Alex and his team went above and beyond to sell my property. I moved from Illinois to Florida before my house was sold. Alex and his team made sure my house was still in great condition. They went there and took care of any small issues they could. I can say thank you enough to Alex and his team. His team and him kept me in the loop constantly. Got phone calls to update me on whats going on. Always had answers for me when i was concerned or worried! 2016
