About Alex

Alex began his real estate career 24 years ago, originally he chose the mortgage lending side of the business and soon made his way to the sales side. 3 years into his career, Alex was given the opportunity to manage a branch that did both originate loans and real estate transactions, along with managing 14 agents. That was an experience that challenged him and helped mold him not only professionally but also personally. Having a mortgage background has proved invaluable to his business; it has given him a complete understanding of the transaction from beginning to end, and he has been able to leverage that experience to better serve his clients. Prior to his real estate career, Alex held several sales jobs that all had one thing in common being face-to-face with the client, which remains his favorite part of the business, engaging and listening to what the client needs and wants. Alex is a lifelong east bay resident and resides in Lafayette with his wife Leslie. Being a Lafayette, CA, real estate agent specializing in the entire east bay, where he’s lived all his life, he has an immeasurable advantage that benefits his clients. Alex’s “happy place” is visiting Lake Tahoe at any time of the year, and he would eventually like to split his time between the bay area and Lake Tahoe; in his spare time, he enjoys running, yoga, skiing, playing tennis, golf, and spending time with friends and family.

Alex made the process so easy for us

Alex made the process so easy for us. He is such a professional and I trusted him completely. I don’t think we could have had a better experience. We were so lucky to have Alex on our team. I highly recommend him.

Exceeding expectations

Alex exceeded all of our expectations. He had extensive knowledge of the market, was extremely hands on in preparing the house to ensure we had the best opportunity to succeed, he listened to what we were looking for out of the sale, communicated consistently throughout the process and was very detail focused. Highly recommend using Alex!

Alex was essential for the selling of my house

I interviewed four different realtor teams, before selecting Alex. The reason I selected him was his knowledge of homes in our particular neighborhood, and his level of professionalism which greatly outmatched the others that I was considering. He listened very carefully about our goals, and then offered excellent advice on the positioning and readying of our home for the market. I was very happy with the inspection and painting professionals that he recommended. Everything was going smoothly and then Covid-19 hit. Alex proved to be extremely capable in adjusting to the changing conditions of the market and what was and was not allowed for selling property during the pandemic. It was uncharted waters and Alex deftly navigated through them, ultimately finding us a buyer within the time frame needed for the purchase of our next house. Throughout, he was always available via phone or email, and either immediately picked up my calls or quickly responded. Most importantly he was proactive in keeping us informed, clearly explaining the process and adjustments, and he was very patient in working with a client that was a more than a little stressed due to the uncertainty of the pandemic. It was a difficult sale due to market conditions, however we did sell. In retrospect I can say that I am still extremely happy that I chose Alex. I will definitely work with him in the future, and will recommend him to my friends and colleagues.

Highly likely to recommend

I had been recently widowed and needed to downsize. Having never been in the real estate market on my own I found the task daunting. A friend recommended Alex. He listened to my wants and needs and found a fantastic townhouse for my new home. He made recommendations to get my former house ready for the market. His expert advice resulted in multiple offers and the house sold quickly. Alex is a consummate professional who makes you feel more like a friend than a client.

Truly Exceptional

What can we say about the agent who helped us purchase our first home? Alex is nothing short of exceptional. From the first phone conversation we had with him, Alex made us feel welcome and at ease with what initially felt like a daunting process. Having just moved to Northern California from Southern California with a one year-old and both starting new jobs, we were anxious to get searching. Alex was supremely responsive, knowledgeable, and bend-over-backward willing to take our phone calls, questions, and concerns at any hour of the day. He was ready to show us homes right away and listened to our preferences and hopes. Alex was an excellent teacher, gently offering advice and insight, but never pushing his opinion or preferences on us. He patiently showed us home after home, running all over town, morning and night, and even entertained our kiddo while we poked around. When it came time to make an offer, we fully trusted his relationships with fellow brokers and felt he represented us with the utmost integrity and our interests at heart. When we were getting tired with the search, Alex kept reminding us that we eventually would find the right home, and we would know it when we did. Alex genuinely feels like more of a friend than our representative, and his good humor, kindness, and flexibility were such a gift in this process. While we don't have any other agents to compare our experience to, we truly believe we got the best; he is hands-down the consummate professional. We would recommend his services to anyone in a heartbeat. Thanks, Alex!

Above and Beyond

Alex has been amazing to work with in selling my house from beginning to end. He was the perfect mix of professional in taking care of all the details, and personable, making him a pleasure to work with. The sale of my house had a few more challenges to deal with than average but he never complained or tried to avoid them. He always took care of what needed to be done to keep things moving toward the goal of completing the sale in a manner that made all parties happy. He came prepared with beautiful presentation materials at our initial meeting but there was no pressure to sign regardless of the time he had already invested. If needed, he has sources he uses for any work that may need to be done to the home. My experience with each of these companies was positive and people I would hire again. One other item worth mentioning was Alex’s responsiveness when I needed to reach him. It was spot on and usually within a few minutes. It was always within a reasonable time frame. Overall, Alex has surpassed my expectations and I would be confident in recommending him for as a trustworthy and reliable agent who cares for his clients.
