Meet Alberta
You could say real estate is in Alberta Wells’ blood. Her father worked as a real estate developer since the 1940s, developing land and building residential properties in the Seattle area, and Alberta’s brother still owns his own real estate company. She got her license as a commercial broker in 1997, after previously working in the science and technology field. In her work in both industries, she always found great joy in helping people find new potential – be it a new technology or a new home and area to live in.
To Alberta, who works out of the Covington John L. Scott office, communication and relationship-building are important parts of her real estate approach. She likes sharing her local knowledge of Covington and love of Washington state with people who are relocating from out of state. Alberta is a new construction specialist, and has strong experience working with seniors and their families. Her experience includes many repeat clients and she has sold properties to many generations of the same families and their friends.
Alberta enjoys spending time outdoors, and can often be found RVing, camping and traveling. Her two-acre property includes space for her horse, a hearty garden, a large koi pond, waterfall and rose garden. One of her favorite activities on her property is a pumpkin carving and soup get-together she hosts every October for her friends and children.
Covington
Though people have lived in Covington for centuries, the city wasn’t incorporated until 1997. We’ve seen exponential growth since then, and there’s never been a better time to call this friendly town home. The people who call Covington home were drawn here for the beautiful surroundings and small-town feel. We also enjoy the convenience of stores like Home Depot, Costco, and Walmart, and dining at Applebee’s and Red Robin right here in our own community. And locals and folks from surrounding areas come here for their healthcare needs. Along with that small-town feel comes a close-knit community and a sense of security. Neighbors look out for each other and we feel safe in our homes and parks. Our parks have beautiful walking and biking trails, some with views of Mt. Rainier and the Cascades. The Covington Aquatic Center provides year-round swimming, classes and party rentals. In July, residents come together for Covington Days, a weekend long celebration with a parade, booths, music, kids games and a watermelon eating content. During the holiday season, we gather to light the tree at Don Henning roundabout and the Aquatics Center hosts a movie-viewing float-in each Saturday before Christmas. If you’d like to learn more about Covington, let us know. We’d love to show you around and help you find your perfect home.
Reviews
"I have worked with Alberta twice; she helped me purchase my house and then she helped me sell after 12 years. She is one of the best realtors I have ever had the pleasure of working with. She is extremely knowledgeable, she is supportive and she is very hands-on. When staging my house this most recent time she was right there with me helping, making suggestions and even brought some of her personal items to help make the house look better. I highly recommend Alberta; she is ethical and honest and you couldn't do better than to work with her."
"We had Alberta Wells sell our home in just 2 days. One open house weekend and BOOM!!! It was gone. Alberta was amazing. She told us EXACTLY what we need to do in order to make a blazing fast sale AND get what we wanted in selling price. And it worked perfectly. Alberta is one of very few realtors certified in Home Staging and man oh man did that make all the difference in how quickly our home sold. She spent a considerable time going from room to room, indoor and outdoor, appraising with a sharp eye exactly what furniture, color and texture best fit the space.
We followed her clever and creative recommendations about moving our existing furniture and other house goods into specific arrangements. We needed only a few new towels, small rug and a bedspread to complete the transformation. And it was stunning! After she had professional photos taken and displayed online, our son called up and suggested we should stay there and not sell. He said that he never knew our house could look so great!
And, since our house was listed around July 4, Alberta and her team put miniature American flags on the yards of our entire neighborhood of 165 homes. Talk about fabulous. This lovely and savvy woman didn’t just sell our house, she smartly engaged the entire neighborhood and got them thinking about how to best to showcase their property.
Call Alberta Wells today to get your home sold in the blink of an eye!"
"Alberta was extremely helpful in my recent home purchase. She went above and beyond to find exactly the home I was looking for. She was always quick to respond to any questions I had and made sure I was comfortable throughout the process. Will definitely be keeping her in mind for any of my future home purchases!"
"I was seeking a home to meet my specific needs and Alberta went above and beyond to accommodate me. She is attentive, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. I will definitely call on her when I am ready to make my next home purchase."
"We worked with Alberta when relocating to Washington and then again when moving out of the area. She was quick on the draw we were very decisive on what we wanted and she helped make our wants come true. It was the smoothest real estate experience we have ever have. Alberta became an instant friend we felt link we had known her forever and we had only just met. She amazing!!"
"I have known Alberta for a very long time. She is very professional, knowledgeable, caring Real Estate agent who understand a customer needs. She is always went out her way to listen and give advice, to find a home for me. I will recommend her to my friends and family, and will ask her services in the future."
"Alberta is a wonderful person & very good at her job. I just moved here from the Midwest & she drove me all over the area looking for my next home. With 3 grandkids in tow and frequent bathroom stops she always had a smile on her face. If you are looking for an honest and caring agent then you need to hire Alberta."
"We met Alberta six months ago during an open house. We wanted to move to the area but needed someone with local knowledge. As she had grown up in the area she had the knowledge and experience I felt we needed. When we were ready to move we contacted Alberta to start looking at houses again. Alberta made the home viewing experience a lot of fun, informational, and educational. One fun thing we did was name the houses as we looked at them based on color, condition, location etc. She had a wealth of knowledge and experience that we had not had in the past with other agents.
There was one house we fell in love with but thought that in this hot market, there was no way we were going to get the house. The situation was made worse by the fact the seller was representing herself without an agent. Alberta had to go above and beyond her duties and was relentless in pursing the seller to sign the purchase and sales agreement. I had already started looking at other houses again when we got the call from Alberta. You got the house!!! I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
After the fact we had learned that the seller had appreciated the fact that Alberta was relentless in working with her to get the signed purchase and sales agreement executed.
This was the fifth house we purchased. There are a lot of agents out there that make big promises and do not deliver. Alberta delivers. Alberta was relentless and not afraid to make the tough calls, to get a buyer who already wrote the house off, a seller who had no idea what they were doing, and got them to come to an agreement and got the deal done!
I highly recommend Alberta. She is a go-getter, not afraid to make the tough calls and get the deal signed. You will not find that in many agents.
Thanks Alberta! We love the house!"
