Alex Boston

Alex Boston of eXp Realty pitched baseballs at 90 miles an hour in high school and college before he turned to real estate. He’s only 21-years-old, a junior at the Carlson School of Business, and about one year into his real estate career. After growing up in the backseat of his mom's car while she showed homes, he now runs showings for her clients. He tells us what baseball taught him about failing constantly. He also explains how he deals with clients who fall in love with houses they can't afford yet. In this episode: Why Alex started taking real estate classes before he finished high school. Why he wanted his own business more than he wanted a job. What Alex's mom does instead of hand-holding him through tasks. Why his mom no longer does any showings herself. Why every showing agent on their team speaks Spanish. The embarrassing experience Alex had during his first ever showing. How the discipline Alex learned in baseball greatly helps his real estate work. Why immigrant buyers need optimism just as much as information. What Alex wishes high school had taught about personal finance. The word Alex uses to describe his mother's work ethic. Why Alex prefers to do showings rather than open houses. Why receiving so many questions from clients has made Alex better at his job. What Alex wants to automate next as the business continues to grow.   Contact Alex:  Cell: 651-200-8770 Email: [email protected]
