Having worked with numerous realtors over the years while buying and selling homes, none have impressed me as much as Alex. I ran across Alex when helping my son purchase a home in Rochester, Minnesota. After some extensive research of all realtors in the area, he quickly emerged as the clear choice, leading in total sales, offering expertise in homes within our price range, and receiving an impressive top number of 5-star reviews.

Even with multiple clients to manage, Alex was incredibly responsive to our requests, attentive to our needs, and always remembered the aspects that mattered most to us. He prioritized educating us on every detail of the home-buying process, sharing strategies I had never learned from other realtors, especially regarding negotiations. In Rochester’s highly competitive seller’s market, Alex’s expertise in constructing strong, compelling offers...

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...

Alex was truly the best at handling every situation we ran into during our selling and buying processes. He was more than willing to show us homes days on end, which led us to our dream home for my fiance and all 6 of our fur babies! He spend time with us upfront explaining what to expect and outlined potential pitfalls. Selling our house was far from easy, the buyers were clear to close but a few hours before closing we were informed that the sale would not be going through - we expect the buyers had been dishonest with their lender and agent, but we’ll never fully know. This cause a lot of stress on myself and my fiancee, but Alex could not have handle it any better. Alex was able to help us keep the earnest money from the sale that had fallen through. He was very determined to sell our home for us and made it happen so we only had to make one more mortgage payment. We will...

If I could give 10/5 stars I would! Alex goes above and beyond!

When we first decided to place our home on the market, we reached out to Alex and he was QUICK to respond and ready to meet. Upon the first meeting, he went over his values; Education, Communication, and Responsiveness. And does he exceed at all three!

He let us know what his process is, and why it works! He laid down a road map to a successful sale and crunched the numbers in detail. He answered all of our initial questions with great detail, and with professionalism, no matter how simple the answer was.

He was available at any time of day and kept in contact with us with any new information. Even when we had a slight hiccup towards the end of our sale when an appraiser could not find the value of our home. We knew he was in our corner to get to the bottom of it, and he did! He...

Will start off by saying could not recommend Alex higher in buying a home in the Rochester, MN area. He truly is everything a realtor should be.
From the moment we first met him for our initial (free) consultation his honesty, integrity, and knowledge shown through immensely.
He took great care to explain every step of the home buying process in a simple, easy to understand manner. He cites his three pillars of Education, Communication, and Responsiveness, and more than lived up to those. He answered all questions we had and we left that meeting feeling much more knowledgeable and prepared for the home buying process and excited to work with him!

When we then started to look at prospective houses with Alex, he was unbelievably responsive and lined up and met us for showings on very short notice. He also provided really helpful insight as we were looking at...

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...

A very big thank you to Alex Mayer for all the help and support he has given me in this process of buying a home as a first-time home buyer here in Rochester, Minnesota. From the very beginning, when I mentioned I was ready to start the process, Alex set up a phone call and then took the time to sit down with me, go through all the steps, explain the terms simply, and set clear expectations. He also connected me with great lenders and inspectors, which made the process smooth and much less overwhelming.

I’ll admit I probably struggled the most with understanding all the details of a house, but Alex always explained things clearly and kept me informed of what was happening at each point. Even when I repeated questions or felt unsure, he never hesitated to answer and always made me feel taken care of. His communication was excellent—I could text him anytime, and he...

We recently worked with Alex on selling our home in Rochester, Minnesota, and I can honestly say he’s the best real estate agent we’ve ever met. From the very beginning, he explained things so clearly and made sure we understood every step of the process. He gave us great advice on what was actually worth doing before listing, and he set the right pricing strategy based on the market trends so we felt confident moving forward.

As a mom with a baby and a dog, I was really stressed out and had a lot of anxiety about the whole process. Alex was incredibly patient and responsive whenever I had a question or concern, he got back to me right away and always made me feel taken care of. He never made me feel like I was bothering him, and I felt comfortable talking to him about everything.

One thing that really stood out is that even after we moved out, Alex would...

My wife and I were first time homebuyers in the Rochester, MN area and were referred to Alex by my sister, who had nothing but great things to say. I'm very happy we followed her advice - Alex is a phenomenal agent. During the early stages he explained the process to us in a way that was easy to understand and took the time to lay everything out for us - as first time buyers he made a daunting process much easier.

When we had questions or ideas, he always responded very quickly, if not almost immediately. He was always updating us at each step of the way as we really began looking for our dream home and was always available. Alex helped us be proactive in touring and searching for homes in our area and made sure to point out any potential issues or things to know in every home that we toured - we felt like he had our best interest in mind and wasn't just trying to make a...

A huge thank you to Alex for helping us find the perfect home as first time homebuyers, and simplifying the process for us!

My husband and I recently moved to Rochester, Minnesota from Nevada and Alex was the first realtor we spoke to about buying a house as first time homebuyers. He was the best real-estate agent we could’ve asked for! We had a call with him (during which he was at a wrestling tournament but still answered) and then a Zoom appointment later in the week. Alex thoroughly explained the house buying process and what we should expect. He made the whole process a lot less daunting by simplifying everything for us. He also gave us many great tips and recommendations. One thing I deeply appreciated was Alex’s honesty while touring houses. Once we found the one we wanted he quickly contacted the listing agent so we could walk through again and then make an offer....

Where do I even start….I'm so thankful for Alex! We were relocating to TX for work and needed to sell the house within a certain timeframe as stressful as that is after talking to several great agents we still felt stressed and anxious, but then we met with Alex and he immediately made us feel at ease, we trusted his process. He never over promised and gave it to us straight but he had a strategic plan and it all worked out after going live we had a full price offer and sold within the first two hours of being on the market. Alex had great communication with both me and my husband we even got to meet his famous dogs which are amazing!!!! The level of professionalism and care that Alex has is unmatched. He’s the best for a reason and I would highly highly recommend him to everyone looking to buy or sell. I don’t ever plan on moving back to the area but if I did Alex would be my first...

Before I met my wife, she had worked with Alex before to get our old house. When we started talking about buying a different house in Rochester, she mentioned she wanted to work with Alex again. After meeting with him the first time, it was easy to see why. Alex explained everything upfront and easy to understand about buying & selling houses. Being a first time home buyer myself, this was very helpful. Alex's communication throughout the whole process of buying our new house was excellent! He was always a phone call, email, or text away. He answered all our questions quickly and let us know any information immediately. Most importantly, he cared about our next house purchase and did everything he could to make it comfortable and easy. He negotiated repairs on our inspection of our new house, which saved us money. Plus meeting his dogs, Atlas and Kaia was an awesome bonus! If we...

I first discovered Alex Mayer while researching realtors in the Rochester area. His website and Google reviews were filled with the word "brilliant," and after our very first phone call, it was immediately clear that the description was an understatement. For anyone moving to Minnesota—especially incoming residents at Mayo Clinic—Alex is quite simply the gold standard.

From the start, Alex’s punctuality was flawless, whether for virtual Zoom sessions or in-person meetings. During our initial Zoom consultation, he spent significant time educating my wife and me on the fundamentals of the home-purchasing process. He made it abundantly clear that his goal isn't just to sell a house, but to empower and educate his clients. He transformed what could have been a high-stress experience into one where we felt informed and in control.

As a first-time home buyer, I couldn’t have asked for a better realtor. From the very beginning, Alex made what could have been a stressful and overwhelming process feel simple and manageable. He was always quick to respond to any questions or concerns.He took the time to explain each step clearly, making sure we understood everything without ever feeling rushed or confused. His knowledge, patience, and dedication truly stood out. He is extremely knowledgeable and is definitely in the right career. I always felt like I was in good hands. We are so grateful for his help in finding our home and would highly recommend him to anyone, especially first-time buyers looking for someone reliable, responsive, and easy to work with. We look forward to working with him in the future for our selling and buying needs!

As a first-time home buyer searching in the Rochester, MN area, I honestly didn’t know where to begin. I had already spoken with another agent and even connected with a lender, but something still felt unclear. That’s when I decided to reach out to him—someone I’d actually known since growing up in the same town—and it turned out to be the best decision I could have made.

From the very start, he took the time to explain everything upfront. What stood out most was how he broke down the entire home-buying process into plain, easy-to-understand language. There was no pressure, no confusion—just honest guidance rooted in his core values of education, communication, and responsiveness. Anytime I had a question (and there were plenty), he was quick to respond and always made sure I felt informed and comfortable moving forward.

If you are looking for the best real estate agent in Rochester MN, you definitely need to work with Alex. My wife Melissa and I were referred to him by a friend, and from the very first time we met, he made us feel like we were in great hands and well taken care of.

He arranged for us to meet up quickly at a restaurant. I still remember that first meeting vividly—what was supposed to be a one-hour chat ended up being three hours! It was basically a crash course on real estate 101. As a first time home buyer, I had lots and lots of questions, but Alex was so personable and patient. He went into great detail about the process upfront and always explained things in plain, easy-to-understand language. He made sure we truly understood all the technical terms and jargon before moving forward.

There's a reason Alex Mayer is known as the best real estate agent in Rochester, MN. In a quick nutshell, he's a knowledgeable, kind and hard working agent who will help you get your home sold and happily answer any and all questions you might have along the way! Added bonus his two dogs Atlas and Kaia who are every ounce of fluff you see in his ads.

Going more in depth I chose Alex after a fair amount of research. I wanted someone who'd handled an estate sale in probate prior. Someone who fully utilized the online aspect of real estate (as let's face it most are deciding which homes they're really interested in based off seeing them online first. And someone who came highly recommended. A quick ask and he was by far the most recommended putting him at the top of my research list. The rest quickly fell away after simply searching his name and reading the reviews....

My wife Monica and I met Alex at an open house in St Charles. We had just decided we wanted to buy a home within the next year so we had just started looking around. Alex was very friendly while showing us around the house and after a few minutes of small talk we realized how little we knew about the home buying process. Alex was kind enough to give us a quick run down of some basics and things we need to know if we are serious about buying. We knew right away we wanted to keep working with Alex and have him as our relator. We met him for breakfast the very next day where he went over all the information of the home buying process. Since we were first time home buyers the way he laid everything out in an easy to understand way was extremely helpful! He also gave us lots of advice on things that are important but often not thought about due to his vast experience that really helped us...
