Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about how selling your property works? You’re not alone. We’ve answered some of the most common questions sellers ask before getting started.
Do I work directly with Alex or a team member?
You’ll work directly with me—every showing, offer, negotiation, and strategy call is with me personally. The only time another agent may step in is if I’m out of state or in an emergency, but I still handle all communication, and 95% of the time, I’m the one there.
How quickly does Alex respond if I have a question or need to see a property?
I respond fast—often within minutes—because Responsiveness is one of my core values. The longest delay is usually around 90 minutes if I’m with another client.
Can Alex help if I’m buying from out of state?
Yes—relocation is a major part of my business, including Mayo Clinic moves. I offer virtual showings, remote closings, and a clear plan so you can buy with confidence from anywhere.
How long does it take to buy a home in Rochester MN?
Most buyers close within 30–60 days from when we start. Your timeline depends on financing, inventory, and readiness—but I’ll walk you through each step and often we can move faster.
What makes Alex’s listing marketing strategy different?
I’ve been Rochester’s dominant digital real estate marketer since 2019. Every listing includes a custom video retargeted to over 50,000 locals, pro photos, drone, floor plans, and now—AI-optimized content to show up where today’s buyers are searching.
What is Alex’s negotiation strategy?
I follow a Principled Negotiation Strategy where we control emotions, look for shared and different interests, and make decisions based on objective criteria that protects my clients. I have both a Real Estate Negotiation Expert Credential (RENE) and am a Certified Negotiation Expert (CNE) which less than 1% of real estate agents hold nationally.
What are the two most important things in selling my home?
First, pricing it correctly—it’s the single most important factor in your success. Then comes marketing: high-quality photos, AI-optimized exposure, and professional video targeting buyers where they are—on their phones.
