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. 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. Alex is incredibly communicative and approachable. He gave us his phone number and email right away, and his responsiveness was amazing. He got us set up on the Home Spotter search app, made sure our filters were right, and told us to reach out anytime. Whenever we found interesting houses, he was so good at arranging four to five showings back-to-back on days that worked best for us. It took us about 4 months of looking to find our place, and honestly, his easy-going personality made this arduous process feel like a breeze. Alex is also super well-connected with top-notch industry professionals. He connected us right away with an amazing local lender, Heather, and later set us up with a fantastic inspector and title company. When we finally put in an offer, he guided us step-by-step and expertly negotiated repairs on our behalf after the inspection. It's hard to find someone so trusting and fiercely protective of his clients' interests. As a wonderful bonus, getting to meet his dogs, Atlas and Kaia, brought so much extra joy! Alex would bring them to some of our house showings, and they just spread so much happiness, making the whole process way less stressful. We just closed at Rochester Title on March 10th, 2026, and we truly couldn't have survived this journey without Alex's guidance. Highly, highly recommend! Alex also likes to keep in touch with his clients even after they buy a house to make sure the buyers are satisfied. He is very resourceful, and he is happy to share names of contractors and handy people for after sale small house fixes and home projects. With Alex you get a wonderful realtor, a decent human being, and potentially a long term friend.

Alex Mayer was referred to me by a contractor helping with a roof repair. I told the contractor I…read morewanted to sell in the coming year, so he suggested talking to Alex before making any major updates. Upon first meeting, Alex put me at ease explaining what was worth doing and what was not. He explained the options, many I hadn't considered, and made suggestions which repairs were necessary and who to contact for them. The next Spring, I was ready to sell. Alex answered on the first call and didn't miss a beat. He explained the best pricing strategy for the market at that time, what to expect from the process, and how each decision influenced the next. He really understands the Rochester market and showed what was working at the moment. I never felt pressured, I felt informed and that I had a competent and reliable agent helping me. Alex suggested an "Easy Button" pricing strategy and then followed it up with high quality professional photos and video. We ended up with four offers and Alex even had a few key negotiation tips to improve the winning offer. With Alex's help we sold my home for more than I ever thought possible! Even after acceptance, Alex was on top of following up with contractors - there was some work we agreed to have handled for the next buyer prior to listing - to make sure the work was completed on time and as expected. Alex always kept me looped in and anytime I called or messaged he would respond near immediately. If you are looking for a real estate agent in Rochester MN Alex Mayer is the best of the best! He made what could have been a stressful process feel organized, manageable, and gave me the confidence to sell. I'm incredibly grateful for his guidance. The dogs are a nice touch too!

Justin was a rock star real estate agent, in fact he was one of the only real estate agents that my…read morehusband and I ever liked! He always went above and beyond our expectations. I first contacted him when my husband received an interview at Mayo Clinic for residency. Mayo Clinic was high on his list and we were very seriously considering buying a house. When I contacted Justin, he was able to schedule me in for the exact day of my husband's interview. This worked out very well as I was able to get a tour of the whole Rochester area and potential houses/neighborhoods we would be interested in. I was very impressed that he spent almost the whole day showing me around when it wasn't even guaranteed that my husband would match here. Fast forward five months, match day came and we ended up matching here! Justin was one of the first calls I made to try and schedule a day we could come look at houses :-) He was very flexible and accommodating and worked with our very hectic schedules. He was very observant and pointed out flaws on houses that we didn't end up buying. I appreciated this as he wasn't trying to make a sale, he put our best interests first and wanted to make sure we bought a home that we would be happy in. He also did a video recording of the house we ended up buying as we quickly saw it and had to make a rushed decision (BTW - Rochester housing market is crazy! If you see a house you like make an offer because it won't last!). At our request, he was present for our home inspection. This really made us feel comfortable as I know he was always after our best interests and asked questions I didn't even think to ask. We also wanted to put a fence up shortly after moving and he contacted our future neighbor for us to coordinate latching onto their adjoining fence (since we were 1600 miles away). Furthermore, Justin didn't just walk away when our sale was final on our house. We had some follow-up questions and he was readily available by phone just as he always was to help answer any questions. His response time via phone is great for us millennials who hate waiting and want a response back asap :-) I would highly recommend Justin to all family and friends! We plan on keeping him not only as a real estate agent to use in the future but also as a friend!!!
