"It was either you or the yellow pages." was my opening statement to Alia Hazen. I didn't want to buy a house but my accountant has instructed me, unless I was the dumbest person ever, to buy one. Alia should have been offended in hindsight but being a first time home buyer I had no idea. I really didn't care about the house but with the help of my sisters and Alia they found the perfect house, I ended up totally loving it. She went above and beyond by helping me with my lender as the communication was horrible from them. The week before closing I called Alia as my lender wasn't calling me back. I needed to know exactly the amount of my down payment. Sensing the fear in my voice Alia asked "Why do you need to know this as your bank account had more than enough funds last week?" I laughed explaining "I have of a bit of a gambling problem and I lost $10k street racing last Friday. Don't worry I'll find a way to get it just need to know the exact amount."
