Marketing, preparation, communication and negotiation strategies are at the heart of any real estate sales strategy, and Alex has achieved exceptional results that exceed market expectations, even in challenging market conditions. He has achieved a 100% success rate in selling listings, with the majority sold within 28 days, outperforming the average market time of 40 plus days. These outcomes are the result of meticulous work that commences as soon as he is engaged, including thorough property preparation and timely implementation of agreed-upon calendarised strategies. Combined with his ability to access some of the best professionals in the industry (whether it be at a moment's notice or in advance), you can take comfort that he will ensure your individual circumstances are duly respected and you receive the best advice throughout the marketing campaign.
He ensures the utilisation of the most skilled individuals in staging, photography, and videography to ensure the highest level of exposure for your property on local, national, and international platforms. This results in a truly comprehensive marketing experience. This level of detail, organisation, and structured approach benefits the negotiation phase and, most importantly, clients, as they feel empowered, motivated, and confident that everything is under control, they are receiving the best service, and their property marketing exposure is maximised. This leads to increased buyer interest, engagement, and competition, ultimately resulting in greater potential for multiple offers for your property.
As a homeowner himself and a professional in the industry, Alex understands this process-driven approach works and is immensely proud of achieving multiple offers and exceptional negotiation outcomes for his clients in every listing campaign, especially maintaining this record during one of the toughest periods recently in real estate.
Alex's success can therefore be attributed to his commitment to providing a comprehensive service for sellers. His clients can expect 100% dedication from him, including personally written vendor reporting throughout the campaign, detailing each buyer's feedback and responses on price. This is critical to your decision-making and highly influential in the overall negotiation success. This level of service has resulted in repeat business and referrals throughout his career. He relishes running his own business and has the luxury of drawing on the services of an excellent backroom team to expedite time-critical property launches, at times within two weeks' notice.
With a wealth of experience in property, whether it's selling a half-million-dollar or a multi-million-dollar home in Wellington, landscaping for a property launch including re-laying an entire lawn, or project management of a time-critical campaign, Alex looks forward to providing 100% personal assistance to help clients on their property journey.

Life of the Plimmer Emporium building: Extract on the building from Stuff Article by Mandy Te
Plimmer Emporium, tucked off Wellington's Lambton Quay, began life in 1917 as the Rutland Private Hotel.
Early advertisements for the unlicensed or temperance hotel boasted its "two bathrooms on each floor", "excellent cuisine" and a "commanding view from roof garden of Wellington and harbour".
In 1972, it was converted into shops and offices, designed by Sir Ian Athfield, and renamed Plimmer's Emporium, as it is accessed from Plimmer's Steps.
It was also once home to nightclub Slack Alice, restaurant Toad Hall and record store Chelsea Records.
In 1997, it became a combination commercial and residential building designed by architect Roger Walker.
