"It's important that when clients work with me, they enjoy the process and feel confident in my abilities. I'm very detail oriented when it comes to honing in on budgets, specs and locations; yet I'm creative and think outside the box to find them the right home and community. Overall, what I really want clients to see in our journey together, is a potential dream home, not just the data that got us to it."Originally from Maine, Alexena received a B.A. degree in Middle Eastern Literature and Art from the University of London, and an M.A. in Psychology from OSU.
