To say I was impressed with Mr. Alex Barthet is an understatement. He took the time to lead me down the best path for my situation and gave me honest representation even though he could have led me on a different path that would have been better for him and his business. It’s rare / impossible to find honesty and professionalism these days as was displayed by Mr. Barthet to me and my situation. Feels good to know I have someone like him on my team. Would give more than 5 stars if I could. Thank you Mr. Barthet.
