About Alex Rooker:
Some agents specialize in a neighborhood, or price range. My specialty is bringing a business perspective to client needs. Licensed as a Broker since 1973, I emphasize Marketing and Negotiation for Seller Clients. For Buyer Clients, attention is placed on Educating them on the market, Evaluating the prospective purchase, and Negotiating the deal.
These efforts are supported by a Business Degree from UNC-Chapel Hill with a focus on marketing and my Certificate in Management Accounting, earned to illustrate a competence in financial evaluations- particularly needed for complex comparables.
