The Rochester PostBulletin Award is one of the most recognized awards here in Rochester Minnesota. I share this to show that am as credible, knowledgeable, and experienced as any agent you may be considering. I am actually more proud of my reviews: As you take time to read some of these testimonials, you will find that they speak to my core values of Education, Communication, and Responsiveness – which show in every way of how I run my business and life. My promise to my clients is they will know what to expect, how to operate, and have it all explained in an easy-to-understand way. I want my clients to have a sense of control, which means they will know their options, have it explained simply, and can therefore make the best decisions. When you hire me as your agent, I – Alex Mayer – am your agent. I'm not a team lead that passes clients off to an underling. That means I am the one answering the phone, keeping you informed, and handling the negotiations. I pride myself on being available to my clients - 4 out of 5 times I will answer the phone right away and on the fifth I'll call back quickly. My personal cell is 507-696-7510 and it’s the same number I call my mother from. Call or text anytime. On a personal level, I was born in Rochester Minnesota and raised in small town Riceville Iowa. I graduated from Luther College (South on Highway 52) in 2014 and moved up to Rochester shortly after.

I have two Alaskan Malamute dogs, Atlas and Kaia, who are featured on all of my branding from buses to billboards, coasters, and even voice actors on local radio stations. As a memorial, I always mention my first malamute Ayla – who passed in 2022 and whose name I still say every day. Many of my clients will meet the dogs between showings – and have had many sellers request they accompany to appointments. My home also has two cats Vee (an F3 Savannah) and Rylo (a rescue from our local Paws and Claws). I am also a volunteer with Camp Companion – fostering dogs and cats periodically. I am a committed member of the Rochester Community. I attend many local events, have participated in fundraisers, and am on first name basis with the mayor and many city council members.

I’m grateful to this profession as I truly love teaching and seeing the “click” in my client’s eyes as they come to a new understanding or perspective. And to my clients, who I’m fortunate enough to serve. And I truly hope to have the opportunity to earn your business as well. Cheers, Alex

I had an exceptional experience working with Alex during my home search. From the start, it was clear that he was highly knowledgeable about the market and the local area.

What truly set Alex apart was his quick response time. No matter the question or concern, he was always available to offer guidance or set up viewings, often responding within minutes. His local connections were also incredibly helpful, making the entire process smoother and more efficient. Whether it was coordinating with contractors, lenders, or inspectors, he had trusted professionals ready to assist.

With years of experience in the industry, Alex made the entire process stress-free and enjoyable. I couldn’t have asked for a better partner in finding my dream home. Highly recommend!

Moving to Rochester, MN, from out of state, I wanted a good real estate agent. Alex Mayer turned out to be an excellent choice. I first encountered his name on You Tube: “Alex Mayer: EXP Realty.: His You Tube site has around 30 videos, including: “Before You Buy a Home in Rochester, MN”, “Buying a Home in Rochester, MN”, “Mortgage Companies”, “Interest Rates”, “Down Payments”, “Negotiating Price”, etc. to mention a few titles. I watched about five videos and decided to call his number. He was quite easy to talk to, put me at ease right away, not at all “hard sell,” and he explained everything in easy-to-understand terms. He gave me the names of local finance agents who got me a good interest rate, and they in turn connected me with a local insurance broker who got me a better insurance rate than my current agent. Alex gave me names for local home inspection companies and a...

So many decisions are based on reviews and recommendations in our world today and that is exactly how I found this amazing realtor. I had gone on social media asking for recommendations for a realtor as we were new to the area. Alex came up several times on my post so I went to his reviews. Needless to say, I was impressed so reached out to him. From our very first conversation to sitting around the closing table, we knew we made the right choice as everything went so smooth and was extremely stress free thanks to him being on top of everything and involved in every step of the house buying process. Alex met with us before we began our house search and went through in detail what to expect, explained the market at the time and never once did we feel like our questions weren’t answered. Alex is very knowledgeable, patient, thorough and one of the best negotiators around. He is...

We needed to find a second home in the Rochester MN area. We have purchased several homes, but none in the electronic era. Alex was highly recommended by mutual acquaintances. When I first contacted him, I received the first of many prompt responses. Since we were from out of town, most of our communication was via text or phone call. He set my wife & I up w an accurate home search app & a Zoom call to explain the rules & process of becoming a Buyer's Agent as well as his credentials as Best Real Estate Agent in Rochester MN for multiple years. We discussed our situation, timing, etc. He explained how he works & patiently answered our questions.

Alex first put us in contact w Jesse Vollmer at Prime Source Funding (a loan broker) to get pre-qualified & eventually to get a mortgage.

We used the app to find candidate houses & Alex...

Earlier this year I was thinking of buying a bigger home with more storage and light here in Rochester MN - my townhome wasn't cutting it anymore. I started searching online for houses and was lucky enough to register on one of Alex's websites. He called me that day and we discussed my situation. We met at Tap House West End. He explained the process.

I took my foot off the gas for about four months and reached back out around June. And we started looking at some houses here in Rochester. I was initially interested in the northwest area of Rochester, MN but I branched out to neighboring areas including Kasson and Byron. Alex, by the way, covers a sixty-mile radius of Rochester, MN. Eventually we even looking at some new construction homes here in Rochester. In the end I ended up finding a home in the Northwest Rochester as I had originally intended, where I made an...

Alex was referred to us by a friend who said only good things about him and after reading his reviews I called him directly. He set clear and realistic expectations about the market right away, which made us feel prepared and confident throughout the selling process. His dedication to keeping us informed was evident, as he consistently explained what to expect at each step and made sure we understood the trends shaping the Rochester market.

Alex’s digital marketing strategy generated lots of interest in our home. The quality of the online presentation was impressive, with professional photos, video, and targeted advertising that maximized our property’s exposure. It was clear he used every available tool to attract the right buyers.

When it came to negotiating, Alex guided the conversations with the buyer in a way that led to an offer that worked well for us....

I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to represent you in selling your Rochester MN home. I know that its a stressful thing to sell your house so its not lost on me. And I'm grateful to have been referred to you! Cheers, Alex.
