Having lived in SLCC for over 30 years, I was acquainted with Al through his ad in our yearly HOA booklet. I knew that he lived in the area and had been the agent involved in the sale of a number of houses locally. I felt that he would be the best choice for me because he appeared to be a person with long-time knowledge of real estate and of the properties in SLCC, It turned out that I was right because I needed a pro to deal with the conditions our neighborhood was left in after the second storm.. During the almost 12 weeks that my house was on the market we communicated almost daily. Throughout, Al remained confident as he tried different approaches. Finally his confidence payed off. I would not hesitate to recommend Al in the future.

We were referred to Al Shields by my mother-in-law, who worked with him for her home purchase, and we couldn't be happier with the service we received! As first-time homebuyers, we had absolutely no idea what to expect as far as the process is concerned, and Al took care of everything for us. His recommendation for mortgage broker was fantastic, as was the home inspector and insurance agent he worked with. I would 100% refer Al to anyone looking for a real estate agent. A fantastic experience all the way around!
