Hello Alfred and real estate company Related have teamed up to offer unique butler services to the residents of Related buildings. Hello Alfred is a personalized assistant service that helps consumers gain back their freedom by handling groceries, dish cleaning, and whatever else you need.
Chris Schmidt is a Vice President at Related and Marcela Sapone is one of the Co-founders of Hello Alfred, and the two join Cheddar to discuss this new partnership.
