Alexandra Degraeve - Path to Success

How I earned the path to Gold Star Expert Level

Alexandra and her trained team of top specialists in their field bring a world of experience to the negotiation table. As a multi-faceted, full service team they have coached home sellers and successfully transacted the homes of more than 500 homeowners. Alexandra and her team all-to-well understand the challenges home sellers encounter when facing the sale of their most valuable asset–their home. Alexandra and her team have achieved over 150-million dollars in gross sales, starting as young rookies in the 1980’s, when the real estate landscape was completely different than what it is today.

Over her 28+ years career Alexandra has been associated with the biggest brands in real estate.

Sought after by Southern California head-hunters and office managers over the past two decades to fulfill the challenging task of lead agent and trainer at Coldwell Banker, Prudential Rodeo Realty, Prudential California, REMAX and other leading brands; Alexandra and her team have been top real estate professionals as an awarded and essential part of these top brands.

Alexandra is a graduate of top coaching programs in all aspects of residential real estate from:

(i) single family residences (San Fernando Valley) to luxury home sales (Beverly Hills, Woodland Hills, Calabasas, Sherman Oaks, and Studio City),

(ii) specialized senior residential homes (aging boomers),

(iii) short sale and bank foreclosure resolution specialists (2008 market crash).

(iv) probate and divorce proceedings

Applying this acquired knowledge Alexandra has accumulated a very large database of buyers, investors, and home owners. Along with her team Alexandra has prominently and adequately reinvented herself to serve her 4500+ client list in the severely disrupted real estate industry by the ever-increasing online sales trends in the internet-dominated age with Google, Trulia, Zillow, Amazon, Purple Brick, Redfin, Ugly Homes and other brands that pop-up every day starting their own wholesale real estate companies. None of these wholesale, flat-service, companies and none of our competitors can bring the vast experience, Alexandra and her team can bring to home sellers in successfully serving their expectations to obtain the highest price possible for their homes. Knowing these companies inside out, it is just not possible for them to offer the vast array of choices Alexandra and her team are able to bring to the table. Alexandra has deliberately positioned herself on the opposite spectrum of the corporate bulk wholesalers.

“As a professional Realtor, I am not driven by a quick sale and the corporate bottom line; I am driven by the highest standards of service and the best of my constantly growing client list of which my team and I would like to invite you to become part of!” Alexandra Degraeve.

IT’S LONELY AT THE TOP. NOTHING IS LESS TRUE.

In serious business transactions as Real Estate, personalities must jell, and flexibility is the key. Selling a home requires team work, working side by side, pushing on the same wagon, pulling the same strings in order to achieve maximum mutual success. Through the years I have seen many of my clients become my dearest friends. What started out as ‘strictly business’ has often ended in a true friendship. It is almost unavoidable. The future may point that out for us…

 

Adapting to changing times and industry disruption.

Having played recurring ‘leading roles’ in major sales-teams as manager, recruiter, coach, and top-producer as part of respected corporations such as: RE/Max, Prudential California, Coldwell Banker, Prudential John Aaroe, Fred Sands, and the Jon Douglas Company®, I always target the best there is in ever changing real estate markets. In today’s internet-dominated era where more than 50% of sellers and buyers buy and sell their homes online, the rules have changed dramatically. Quality service does no longer mandate, the muscle of heavily structured, more than often rigid, nevertheless delivering, expensive companies. Access to expertise, negotiation ability, closing skills, and proactive assertiveness is a must. Why? it determines whether the bottom-line gain will be yours or the other party.

 

Excellence to me is a matter of many factors, of which the product, of course is one of the most important elements. Other elements which have contributed to the success of all my operations may be considered as follows:

 

• Illustrated by my tenacious negotiation skills, my excellent abilities to communicate and understand the needs of my clients translate into structured procedures which are concluded in a detailed marketing and service plan.
• my true belief that my clients have earned their way, and that their possessions and properties deserve the highest ROI (return on investment) and my most dedicated treatment when situations as sales, purchase or liquidation appear.

 

A History with Industry Leaders

There is more in my pursuit for excellence. Over my illustrious career I have accumulated the best sales marketing talent in the industry. I have been able to attract and surround myself with  professional marketing and advertising experts and combine it with my multi-decade professional background, within the corporate structure of Real Estate Market Leaders in Southern California such as RE/Max, Prudential, Coldwell Banker, Prudential John Aaroe, Fred Sands, and the Jon Douglas Company®.

 

Long-time vetted and cultivated relations. Coach to Homesellers and their agents.

Due to these deeply-cultivated professional relationships I have develop over my multi-decade career with agents employed by the market leaders of the Southern California Real Estate Market, part as their trainer and coach, part as their colleague, and foremost as their respected friend—I have access to a unique network of loyal colleagues who understand that I not only can ‘get the deal done’, but deliver on my continuous promise of excellence and integrity. It is due to the mutual respect for my approach to home seller coaching techniques that I constantly places my clients in the most advantageous position when it comes to getting the deal done.

 

IT IS NOT ONLY GOLD THAT SHINES.

Real Estate is an Art to me. It is the Art of combining real and financial values with human and emotional values, desires, and expectations. After all, in Real Estate we all deal with strictly financial figures, return goals, investments, equity and loans, from one side, and taste, expectations, opinions, desires and dreams from the other side. What my profession has taught me through my decade-lasting career I have been in business, is the art to exactly achieve what my clients wanted. I was successful where others failed, I won where others lost, always applying my expertise as a market analyst and a ‘dedicated hard working achiever’, more than using the tempting way of the prophets of the ‘best deal”. At the top of my career I have the corporate structures of industry leading companies to intensify my strong position and to extend my success beyond the limits of the extra ordinary, of which the “Awards for Real Estate Agent of Excellence in Listing and Sales” are only a small proof of the greatness with which I pursue and exercise my profession and conduct my business. As you see, it is not only gold that shines…
