Alex’s favorite quote is from Randy Pausch: “We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand.” This fits his role well as a closer in real estate and transactional law. He looks at all the cards in every deal, analyzes the situation, and develops a strategy to get the best possible outcome for his clients.
Being an attorney runs in Alex’s blood. He knew from a young age that he wanted to be a lawyer like his father and grandfather. Having grown up in Iowa, it is especially close to his heart. Alex enjoys the unique opportunity of helping a community that’s given so much to him.
Alex says, “I have a unique ability to relate to people and understand them. Although we may have different backgrounds, I can always find common ground, and usually by something more than just superficial or trivial means. I can put myself into the shoes of another person such that I can better understand what they truly want, which is huge for helping someone achieve their goals and solve their problem.”
