Meet Alex Morel

A true Sarasota Native. I was born at Sarasota Memorial Hospital and have lived in Englewood, North Port, Venice, Bradenton and Sarasota throughout my 40+ years in the area. I grew up in a family of home builders and contractors. I was on residential job sites at a very early age learning all about building homes.

Prior to becoming a Realtor®, I worked for a small Mechanical Engineering firm in Sarasota for about a decade as an AutoCAD Draftsman, and then as a NICET Certified Engineering Technician designing fire suppression systems for high-rise condos, office buildings, restaurants, storage facilities, churches, large single-family homes, and other facilities.

I received my real estate license and have been a licensed Realtor® since 2010. I started my Real Estate career with Wagner Realty, one of the largest independent Brokers in Sarasota and Manatee counties. After 8 years with that firm, I moved to RE/MAX Alliance Group, the highest producing RE/MAX office in Florida. After 4 years with RE/MAX I decided to hang my license with a small broker that gives me more flexibility within my business to operate the way I like to operate and help my customers and clients in a way I feel is more beneficial to them.

I previously volunteered and was chosen to sit on the Grievance Committee for Professional Standards and for the Community Outreach Committee at our local board of realtors.

I mainly work in the Residential Real Estate sales field guiding buyers and sellers through the complexities of the real estate market within the tri-county Sarasota, Manatee and Charlotte County areas, handling new and existing construction single-family homes, condos, villas, townhomes, duplexes, quadruplexes, mobile/manufactured homes and vacant land! My sales volume exceeds $25 million to date.

I really enjoy meeting new people and guiding them in all stages of home ownership, from helping first-time home buyers achieve the American Dream, and helping retiree buyers in their golden years find a place that fits their lifestyle while they enjoy the fruits of their labor, to helping existing homeowners sell their current homes and move on to whatever comes next.

Homeownership is not for the faint of heart, but it is worth it. It is a sure way to build wealth and enjoy the freedom that comes with property ownership rights bestowed on us by our nation's founding fathers. In the United States those property ownership rights include: the right of possession, the right to control, the right to use and quiet enjoyment, the right to allow others a right to use, the right to privacy and to exclude others and the right to disposition or to transfer and right to use property as collateral. 

Building and maintaining relationships is vital to my business. You are not just buying or selling a property with me, you are getting a relationship with someone who uses their experience and expertise to serve your best interest throughout your entire transaction, and beyond. It is in my best interest to do so, and I will do everything in my power to get you the best deal possible!

Buying or selling real estate without a Realtor® is like going to school without a teacher. Knowing what to do, and what not to do, is crucial in today's real estate market.

I look forward to hearing from you when the time is right!
