Alex takes immense pride in embracing the ethos of the Ray White family, a family-owned and operated business since 1902. He shares their unwavering mission to cultivate a profound sense of pride in every relationship and transaction he undertakes. This commitment is further reinforced by his ongoing personal pledge on each successfully completed transaction to donate $1000 of his selling success fee to a charity chosen by his vendors.
As a highly accomplished real estate agent, he appreciates that customers want the best level of service and knowledge, and that they want to know their home is in the best hands. He takes exceptional pride in his association with the Ray White Group, which provides market-leading buyer database technology and unparalleled access to the largest network reach (1000 plus) of local branches in Wellington, New Zealand, and globally in Australasia. All while providing a truly personable first-class service. Alex consistently surpasses market norms. In 2023 and 2024, he was honoured with the prestigious Ray White Karori top lister and top seller award, as well as several perfect 10/10 customer service awards. Among the Wellington Ray White Group, he ranked 12th (2023) and 5th (2024) out of 148 plus agents, as highlighted in the company newsletter's in 2023 and 2024.
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. With his extensive knowledge and unwavering commitment to excellence, clients can trust that they will receive the highest level of service, above and beyond their expectations.

24 Khandallah Road has been meticulously renovated, with significant investment from the current owners to sympathetically enhance and substantially expand the charming 1930s Railway Manager's Cottage.
The main family home on the upper level enjoys all-day sunshine, privacy, and generous living space. It features a modern kitchen and multiple living areas that can be seamlessly integrated or separated for family living and entertaining. The thoughtfully designed layout allows for excellent flow to the outdoor deck and lawn, comfortably accommodating four bedrooms and three bathrooms (configured as two ensuites and a family bathroom), thus facilitating ideal family living dynamics.
The investment in the main home is further enhanced by extensive landscaping, which has created expansive terraced gardens, as well as the addition of a purpose-built, fire-walled, and separately metered one-bedroom basement apartment. This apartment includes an ensuite, separate living and dining areas, a modern kitchen, and laundry facilities, all complemented by its own sun-filled private garden and dual access, including wheelchair access if required. This arrangement makes the family home ideal for multi-generational living or as a superb AirBnB opportunity.
As of the last financial year, the current owners have achieved an exceptionally high host rating and an impressive revenue track record. This is unsurprising, given their unwavering commitment to excellence in every aspect of the property's renovation. Improvements include the installation of double glazing throughout while retaining the character of the original timber windows, complete insulation of the home, luxurious pet free carpet and beautiful native flooring throughout the original upper level, a new modern kitchen in the family residence, gas central heating, a new roof, recent exterior repainting, multiple heat pumps, and a luxurious Escea gas fireplace.
The exceptional outdoor landscaping features substantial earthworks to create private terraced gardens, an outstanding productive vegetable garden brimming with a remarkable array of vegetables and herbs, and an abundance of fruit trees-an astonishing total of 18. Additionally, there is a superb garden shed for storing all your outdoor gardening equipment.
