Lex educates me what to look for when I first buy a house so that I could make an informed decision. Lex is patient in the process of seeking for a house that worths bidding. Once I find the house that attracts my attention, he works with me to optimize my chance of making a successful bid. In my case, my offer price didn't outbid other buyers and I still got the house I wanted. I highly recommend Lex if you are looking for your dream house.
