About Antonio Alvarez
Antonio was born and raised in East Chicago Indiana Harbor on September 22nd, 1956.
As a child, Antonio had aspirations of being a Salesperson. Never in a million years did he think he'd stumble into the real estate industry, but you can’t always predict where or when you’ll discover what you’re meant to do in life.
As the years went by, Antonio worked his way from Shoe shining and selling newspapers to being a Realtor, never wavering in his resolve to become the best version of himself with each career move. Antonio got into the real estate industry 36 years ago as California licensed Realtor. He set out to be a Salesperson and a Real Estate Investor.

In the one-year experience with other agents, we had one offer (it was a little niffy at that.) Antonio put a plan together and suddenly things were happening.
We started getting offers, and the house is sold. We were really satisfied with the outcome. We had kind of figured out what our bottom line needed to be and were really excited that we came above our bottom line.
We were out-of-town sellers. Our daughter lived in the home when she was going to school. When the prior agents couldn’t sell the house, it was hard for a year to make those mortgage payments with other kids in college.
If you want your home sold quickly, you need to talk to Antonio. He has some great ideas on how to sell homes quickly.

Please forgive me for taking so long to write this letter to you and your agency. As I’m sure you can understand, moving a household and a business is quite the task. The reason for this letter is to share with you mine and my wife’s experience with your agent, Antonio.
About one year ago, my wife and I decided to pursue our dream of moving here. We purchased 10 acres of land back in 1992 and felt now was the time to make our move. We had subscribed to the local newspaper and had it mailed to us in Fort Lauderdale.
We began calling agents from their ads regarding properties they had for sale as we pondered the idea of selling our acreage and buying something already built. The real estate agents we spoke to understood our situation and were told upfront that we would not be doing anything for at least 6 months.
The real estate agents would fax us or mail us the info we requested but that was the last we heard from them, at least until we called Antonio. I could tell Antonio was young and a go getter from our telephone conversations. Then, he did the unthinkable... After faxing the info to us, he would follow up with a phone call.
I must admit, we were really impressed by Antonio only for his phone calls, but he never was rushing us, and seemed to understand that it would be some time until we actually purchased something. As time went on, he never called too often, but always stayed in touch and offered his services.
About 3 months later, we decided it was time to meet Antonio and see some properties. He gladly lined up several properties for us to see and on a Sunday to boot. After spending the afternoon with Antonio, we realized it was going to be best for us to build on our land.
Antonio helped us from start to finish in securing a builder and getting a deal done. Now came the sweet part. Since we were moving our home here, we now needed a place for our business. Well, guess who was there for us?
Because of simple little things like follow-up phone calls, patience, and eagerness to help his customers, Antonio received the commissions for our home at $165,000, and our building for our bookstore at $425,000.
Antonio was not the first agent we had talked to but he was the last. We were totally amazed at the professionalism, expertise, and kindness we were shown from such a young man. Antonio will be our agent for as long as we need one, and that does not happen often in this industry.

I’m a local real estate investor. I’ve been working with Antonio for several years. I can tell you that Antonio is the real deal, and I have had good experiences with him. I’ve bought and sold a lot of houses and thought I knew how to do it.
I had a good history of doing it. The problem was that the market changed and there were certain houses we just could not sell. Specifically, there was a house in the “boonies.” We had had it on the market for 8 months.
We priced it below market. We weren’t getting viewings and we weren’t getting offers. Nothing was happening with it. Antonio had approached me for several months. Finally, after enough pain, I decided to give Antonio a shot.
We had 68 showings very quickly and a lot of offers. We ended up selling the house for the same price the other agent hadn’t been able to sell it for. I don’t think we would have sold the house without Antonio.

My house was a short sale. This means that I owed more than the home was worth. The traditional real estate agent wasn’t able to help me. I’ve been a real estate agent, we tried other real estate agents, and it didn’t work.
Having been an agent myself and invested in properties, I was very familiar with short sales and all the various ways of doing it. I got frustrated turning it over to some local real estate companies. I felt like I had to try and fill them in on the knowledge and process about short sales that they did not have.
It was Antonio's experience with short sales that got my property sold. You are simply not going to get your short sale taken care of using the traditional real estate methods.
You need somebody like Antonio that really can combine all the angles and get the job done. I was an agent myself and had a property in the $400k+ price range that I couldn’t sell myself. Then, because of personal issues, I turned it over to another Real Estate Company in town. They could not get anything done with it.
Having met Antonio a couple years before then, knowing that he knew all the things he knew about the real estate market, I decided to turn it over to him. He got it under contract very quickly.
It actually was Antonio's buyer list that enabled him to sell it so fast. Antonio and his system got the home sold. It was a huge relief for us. This property had been a thorn in my side. Now that we have this property off of our backs, we can finally move on with our lives.
