What was supposed to be an exciting next step in my life quickly turned into a nightmare experience. However, I didn’t let that discourage me; it only inspired me to help others avoid the same outcome.

I had been searching for my purpose in life, but my journey to finding it was not an easy one. I initially studied computer science but felt unfulfilled and lost. I bounced from job to job, working in restaurants in New York and feeling uninspired. Bartending was one of the first jobs I truly enjoyed because of the people. Even though I enjoyed it, I still felt there was something more for me. A chance encounter led me to discover my true passion – real estate.

When I started looking for my first home, I was shocked at how quickly it became a nightmare. My REALTOR® didn’t recommend an inspection and was looking to close quickly. I felt pressured and had little guidance. When the home was officially mine, problems started popping up that could have been resolved before the deal. Now, they were my issues to deal with.

I felt cheated and alone, with a team that had worked against me. But that experience only fueled my determination to make sure that no one else would have to go through the same thing. I knew then that I wanted to help people navigate the complicated and often stressful process of buying a home, and I was going to do everything in my power to make sure they had a better experience than I did.

I dove headfirst into the world of real estate. The more I learned about the process, the more I realized just how poorly I had been represented. It was tough to realize that I was just a way to make money for those involved in my home purchase.

That realization inspired me to start building a team of trustworthy and reputable professionals to help my clients. It took a long time to build this team, and it involved a lot of networking and meeting people. Along the way, I had to let go of some people whose values didn’t align with mine. My top priority is providing trustworthy, high-quality service. I wanted to make sure that my clients had a team that I could trust and that would represent their best interests.

As a first-generation American, I moved to New York from the Dominican Republic with my family in 1992. My father had already established himself in the city and was able to support us as we settled in. My parents’ hard work and ability to adapt influenced my future success. My wife, Evelin, is another reason I have achieved so much. We have happily been married for 24 years, and her unwavering support has made all the difference in my success. I am passionate about helping others reach their goals and dreams, just as my family helped me reach mine.

Success for me goes beyond just making money. It’s about being able to help individuals in difficult situations, guide them through the process and see them reach a successful outcome. My main priority is to make sure that first-time home buyers understand the process and don’t feel frustrated like I did when I bought my first home. With my team of trustworthy professionals, I am confident that I can help others reach their dream of homeownership and achieve their goals.

When I am not working, I enjoy listening to audiobooks, painting, playing guitar, and traveling. My wife and I enjoy visiting the Dominican Republic any chance we get! Real estate has allowed me the flexibility to go on these adventures while still tending to my clients’ needs and upholding my responsibilities to my team.

As a real estate agent, my top priority is to make the home-buying or selling process as smooth and stressfree as possible for my clients. I understand that buying or selling a home can be overwhelming, especially for first-time buyers. That’s why I offer a consultation service where I take my clients from A to Z on every step of the process to ensure they understand everything!

As your REALTOR®, I will take you through every step of the process and help you reach the finish line. Through good communication, established processes that work, and creative problem-solving skills, I am confident you will have a positive experience. I never pressure my clients and will work hard, no matter how long it takes, to find the perfect fit. Even after the transaction is over, I will continue to offer my professional services as your REALTOR® for life.

Sincerely,

Alexander Galvez
