  • Empowering Every Seller

    “I expected REALTORS® in the Bay Area to be working at an especially high level of professionalism when I began interviewing several to sell my parent's home. Alex stood out of a crowd of very qualified candidates. He laid out a complete campaign utilizing his vast network of contacts and knowledge of online marketing and social networking. Working with Alex was a unique pleasure.”

    Mark P     | Los Altos

  • Handling Complex Situations

    “We had a complex real estate situation - two adjacent properties, with quite a bit of land, one lot potentially dividable, in a very desirable Silicon Valley location. That created a tricky question of how to position the sale. We needed a competent, savvy, responsive REALTOR®. Alex provided that and more. He was a great advisor and a great partner as a negotiator.”

    Amy P | Los Altos

  • Crafting Seamless Sales

    “We needed someone to take care of us and all the details of his house. Alex has a team that works seamlessly and we felt totally at ease and communication was caring. Alex has an amazing read on sellers and buyers, we experienced incredible insight and humanness on our, the sellers’, side. He also negotiated the absolute best purchase for our dad's house - the icing on the cake.”

    Cory B | Palo Alto

  • Client-Focused Staging Efforts

    “He was not only a seasoned broker but had integrity. He guided us through the paperwork and recommended the right contractors/vendors (carpet, clean and stage) for our dwelling's Cinderella-esque transformation. We went from ultimate kiddie bounce house to elegant model home. Less than a week on the market, multiple offers received and home sold well above asking.”

    Nancy & Shaw Y | Sunnyvale

  • Leading the Way for First-Timers

    “As first-time home buyers, my wife and I were very nervous. Alex told us what to expect at every stage and how the real estate industry works. It's quite overwhelming to learn about home-buying, but Alex was very patient and helpful.”

    Mike L | Mountain View

  • Moving On Up

    “Alex helped us find our dream home. Exactly the size we need in a great neighborhood. He is digital friendly, which was an important criteria for us since my husband and I work in tech and use these tools to plan the house purchase. Alex is professional and effective.”

Master Negotiator

If I had a superpower, it would be the art of negotiation. It’s a skill I’ve honed throughout my career and with every new transaction.

My approach emphasizes mutual value creation, ensuring higher sale prices for sellers and better outcomes for buyers.

Local Insights Unlocked

Having an experienced local at the helm of your transaction isn’t just a nice-to-have, it’s an absolute necessity.

Like it or not, real estate is a highly emotional space, and there’s a big difference between operating in a local market as an insider vs. as an outsider.

I live and work in the communities I serve and am a constant presence in the local scene, so I’m able to put my extensive local knowledge, experience, and connections to work for you at the highest level.

 FAQs About Alex

  • Rainmaker, the brokerage of which I’m a founding partner, combines agility with reach: as an independent brokerage, we swiftly adapt to the market, and our affiliation with Side provides extensive support for top-performing teams.

  • We deliver top-tier real estate services, staying aligned with market fluctuations, buyer interests, and local property inventories. This empowers our clients to make smart real estate decisions whether they’re buying or selling.

  • My background as a broker across various Silicon Valley communities has given me a detailed perspective on each area's unique market. I currently live in Los Altos, where my kids are enrolled in the local schools and where our primary office is based, but my real estate experience is deeply woven into the fabric of the entire South Bay. I started practicing real estate living in the Sunnyvale/Mountain View area, and marked the beginning of Rainmaker's journey with our first office established in Palo Alto back in 2007.

  • In Silicon Valley, the home buying process is characterized by several unique factors:

    Rapid pace in selling

    Investment in home preparation prior to selling

    Pre-inspections and disclosures done up-front

    Multiple offer situations

    Proof of funds and pre-approval

    Non-traditional sales tactics

    Tech-savvy process

    In summary, the Silicon Valley real estate market’s unique demands require swift, informed decision-making from both buyers and sellers. Choosing an agent with the right expertise is critical to navigating these challenges effectively and achieving the best possible outcomes.
