Rochester Area Homes By Alex - eXp Realty

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... Read more >

Selecting Alex Meyer as my real estate agent turned out to be a very good decision. I needed to buy a home and relocate halfway across North America from the east coast to Rochester, MN. I was very anxious. From the first contact with Alex, I was put at ease. Alex educated me up front on how the process of finding and buying a home in Rochester would unfold. He was able to explain terms and concepts in plain language. Alex was consistently prompt in responding to calls, texts and emails. He recommended using a local source for a mortgage to make us more appealing to local home sellers. He referred me to local businesses for home financing, home insurance, appraisers, and home inspectors. His recommendations made the process easier, but I feel like he also saved me money. He kept me up to date on everything as the process unfolded. He was very congenial and has the best team... Read more >

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... Read more >

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... Read more >

As a first time homebuyer, I am so happy I chose Alex to be my realtor! He helped explain the process to me, answered all of my questions timely, and gave good insight and advice along the way. I never had to locate or research my own affiliates as he is connected to the best lenders, inspectors, etc. He was supportive in my decisions and flexible at working with me on my timeline. I was recommended him by a friend and I would recommend him to a friend anytime! Read more >

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.... Read more >

Alex educated us on the first time buying process and covered every single detail needed to make things easy for us. He was available and advocated on our behalf when issues arose. There is no better choice in this town for a realtor. Thank you for an incredible experience!! Read more >

Alex is proficient, consistent, and rigorously on top of his job. Working with Alex was truly a pleasure and I will work with him for all my needs in the future Read more >

Absolutely thrilled with the experience I had working with Alex Mayer! As a first-time homebuyer, my partner and I were nervous about navigating the competitive real estate market in the twin cities, but Alex made the entire process smooth and stress-free. His expertise and dedication was evident from the start including an initial 90 minute education session about the process of home buying the first day we met him. Despite facing multiple offers on the house we had our heart set on, Alex went above and beyond to ensure our offer was as strong as possible (but still within our comfort level). His strategic advice, understanding of the market, and negotiation skills were top-notch, and thanks to his hard work, we successfully secured the home on our first try! Not only was Alex incredibly professional and knowledgeable, but he also made us feel supported and informed every step of the... Read more >

We thoroughly enjoyed working with Rochester Area Homes by Alex when selling our family home. He was the best real estate agent for us because of everything he stands for and everything he does for his clients. We were in a time crunch and in an emotional situation selling our home to move across the county, and Alex made everything feel less chaotic. Alex really makes you feel prioritized with how quickly he responds to questions, comments, and concerns. He is always thorough with responses and they’re simplified to your understanding. He always gave a timeline of events and clearly explained what to expect with each step along the way. He was thorough when explaining and navigating a multiple offer situation without bias, he definitely prepared us well to make the best decision for us. We enjoyed getting to know Alex as a friend, not just our agent. We will never forget his pups on... Read more >

Whoa! Speechless , I have no words to describe how awesome Alex Mayer is . He is a great real estate agent, down to earth, professional, great communicator, attentive and helpful.
Alex is always welcoming , had a smile on his face and in the best mood at all times. Always communicating with me and my husband. Continuously updated us with the home purchasing process. Alex always advocated and had the best interest of his client. As first time home buyers we had little to no knowledge . Alex took 90 minutes of his time on a weekend to ensure that we were well versed with the home buying process. He educated us on the benefit, risks, and process of buying a home. Closer to the closing date,he gave us a folder with contacts for insurance agents, and utilities. He made the purchasing of our first home easy,and smooth process . I highly recommend anyone looking to purchasing their... Read more >

My partner and I recently had the pleasure of working with Alex Mayer during the purchase of our new home, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From start to finish, Alex demonstrated unparalleled professionalism, expertise, and dedication that truly made the home-buying process a seamless and enjoyable experience. From our very first meeting, Alex was incredibly attentive and took the time to listen carefully. It was clear from the get-go that Alex was deeply knowledgeable about the current market and even sat us down and took the time to explain the various nuances of the home buying process. He went above and beyond and was always quick to arrange viewings at times that were convenient for my partner and I (which included him taking the time to drive to the Twin Cities area on several occasions). When it came to making an offer, Alex was exceptional. He skillfully negotiated... Read more >

We recently went through the home buying process on our first home with the help of Alex! With us being first time home buyers it was a fairly intimidating process at the start. So we knew that having someone so knowledgable on our team was so important. That's one of the reasons why I can not recommend Alex enough to anyone looking to purchase a home. One of the things that really stuck out to me about Alex was how willing he was to educate us throughout the entire process. He really takes pride in making sure he provides you with as much information as you need to be educated and prepared for any step along the way. The home buying process can be overwhelming at times and I'm so thankful we had Alex on our side to help us remain calm and persevere through adversity. Another great thing about having Alex as a part of your team is just how connected he is with the people of Rochester.... Read more >

We recently purchased our first home with the help of Alex! Being a first time home buyer can be a very intimidating process, so having the right realtor by your side is so important. We could not recommend Alex enough to anyone looking to purchase a home. From our first meeting on, he walked us through every single step of the process using language that was easy to understand. He always responded quickly to questions/concerns. Alex was able to help us navigate through an offer accepted that we no longer wished to move forward with. Then, continued to work diligently to help us find a home we loved. We encountered many things most first time buyers do not have to go through, and Alex helped us to remain calm, educated, and proactive during these experiences. He is very well connected with people of all trades, and was even able to get someone out to a home to get us a quote on a... Read more >

Recently Alex helped us sell our house and purchase a new one. Not only was this the best real estate service I’ve personally experienced but the best overall customer service experience. Alex is second to none on response time and follow up. He would sometimes apologize if it took him 15 minutes to respond 😁. He had a great understanding of the market and we ended up selling on the high end of our expectations. They did an excellent job with the listing and got many eyes on the property. When we ran into some issues on our inspection, he was able to calm us down and he was able to come up with a reasonable solution.

He is well connected and has many resources available if you should need it. He attended the inspection of our purchase and when he was notified that the roof had hail damage he had a good contractor over to the house in 20 minutes who was able to document... Read more >

Being a young first time homebuyer and moving to another state, I was very nervous about finding a home at first. After meeting with Alex to go over the basics, I felt much more at ease with all the education I received. Alex responded to my questions quickly and kept me in the loop during negotiations. He connected me with great industry affiliates and truly is the BEST REAL ESTATE AGENT IN THE AREA!!!! I can’t thank Alex and the dogs enough for all of the support and education they have given me throughout this process of buying my first home!🙏🐾🏡 Read more >

We had a very great experience with Alex on selling our home! He was very quick to respond to our messages and definitely made our part of the process as smooth as possible! We were in a time crunch and he was able to help us sell in two days! We highly recommend and 100% would use again! Read more >

Alex is the Real estate agent you want in your corner. He is great when it comes to walking a first-time home buyer through the home buying process. He breaks things down and makes it simple to understand everything. If at any point we felt overwhelmed and had questions he responded very quickly. The lender and inspector that he helped get us in contact with were the best option for us as they are just as responsive as he is. He really put our minds at ease when we felt uncertain about the process. With all the information being tossed at us he always walked us through and answered any questions or concerns we may have had. A huge shout out to Alex and the pups (did we mention he has a couple of the best four legged fur co-workers ever). Alex is the best choice for a real estate agent in the Rochester, Minnesota area.

We first met Alex about 3 years ago when we first started thinking about purchasing our first home. Being first time home buyers we had no idea what to expect. Alex explained things simply so we did not get lost all the information. After putting that search on hold we reconnected with Alex about mid February this year when we were ready to start looking again. After we found the perfect home for us he walked us through everything step by step and informed us of everything going on at each point. Explained things simply as there is so much information when buying a home a person could get lost. He always responded super quick when we had questions. After the offer was excepted he helped get us in touch with lenders and inspectors. He made the whole process smooth and seamless. I would recommend Alex to any one purchasing or buying a home. He is your guy. Read more >

Alex is hands down the best agent you can ask for. When i was in the early stages of buying a home and prior to even meeting Alex, i came across his blog videos. They are a great help and will give you the head start in this process. After watching his videos you will know that this man knows his stuff, without hesitation he was the one i called when i was ready to move forward. He is very professional, and very easy to work with, your goals are his goals. If you show interest in a house, he is on it getting you the information needed and is on the phone scheduling a tour. My circumstances with financing were not the easiest, but Alex has the patience of gold, he checked in on me routinely, his communication never leaves you with feelings of being in the dark, he shares everything he knows and will go up for bat for you to get what you need to know regarding a property. He is honest... Read more >

I'm not the type of person to really leave reviews but Alex deserves this. Alex made the buying process of a home very easy for me. It started out as a very relaxed meeting where he explained in depth the process of purchasing from start to finish in a way I easily understood. He was very attentive to my needs. Very quick to respond to any questions or concerns I had at just about any time a day, sometimes into the late night and on weekends. He kept us updated constantly thru each phase of the process. When I contacted Alex, we met in less than a few days and he got the ball rolling immediately. Past experiences I've dealt with individuals who seemed to drag their feet, but Alex had a passion about him to get things done. I would almost go as far as to say that he was more excited than I was, and I was the home buyer!
He connected us with local entities that worked seamlessly... Read more >

What a fantastic agent Alex is! We will always be very appreciative to Alex for all of his assistance throughout our journey. He went above and above to make sure we found the right house. I strongly recommend him!! Read more >

Amazing. Resourceful. Knowledgeable. Dog-lover. Epic. Master of his field.
I’ve worked with other agents in the past and have never found someone as responsive and willing to explain all aspects of the home buying process and what to expect/pitfalls that may arise. Before I even decided to work with Alex, he would answer questions, gave me his cell number to ask him anything home related at any time and he would respond readily. I am new to the area and he explained the different areas and what to expect. He knows the Rochester market so well.
Glad I decided to purchase a home and had him, and his contacts, to make my first-time in the area house purchase seem seamless!
You won’t regret working with Alex! He also brings his furbabies(his dogs) with him, so that’s an added bonus!

As first time home buyers, I knew this was going to be quite an overwhelming process; however, after meeting Alex and getting a clear explanation of the process and what to expect, it really eased our minds. He explained things in a very simple and easy to understand manner, and answered questions before we even had the chance to ask them. He was very communicative and very responsive to any questions. Once we found “the one”, he kept in frequent contact with us, even during the slow-moving waiting periods just to reassure us that things were progressing as they should. As we were new to the process, and the Rochester area, we had very little knowledge of who to work with for financing, inspection, insurance, etc. Alex’s recommendations led us down a path of people that were all extremely friendly and very easy to work with. This process couldn’t have gone more smoothly and I’m... Read more >

Alex was superb! His marketing and technology knowledge far exceeds what most realtors understand and use. He provided sold comps/active listings to determine a "quick sale" list price, needed to end a new job 180 mile roundtrip commute, without sacrificing price.
Alex's ideas on what to do and what to skip to best present the property were key to instant viewings and a good offer only hours after being live on realtor and 3rd party sites. He knew site visits and how long buyers looked.
Alex is charismatic, high energy, and an excellent communicator. 
Well done, Alex! Read more >
