Alex Harris was born in Chicago and was raised in Wilmette which is a northern suburb of Chicago. Growing up in the North Shore area gives Alex a wealth of knowledge of the suburbs of Chicago as he grew up playing sports and traveling to all the surrounding suburbs. Alex graduated from the University of Alabama where he majored in Communications and then decided to return home upon graduating. Real estate has always been a topic of conversation at many family gatherings as his mom, grandmother, and uncle are all in the industry. These conversations drew Alex into real estate where he now uses his affectionate energy and his passion for the industry to always put the client first.
Alex is in a unique situation where he has lived in both the city and suburbs which gives him a well-rounded knowledge of both markets. He is truly a perfect fit for anyone transitioning to the city of Chicago or to the suburbs. Chicago is Alex’s one true home and loves to share his love for his home with his clients. A true passion for Alex is helping first time home buyers turn a dream into a reality with purchasing their first property.
“I get excited every time I work with a first-time home buyer. It can be such a daunting task and I love to make it as simple as possible. Lots of times people find it to be a stressful process but this is supposed to be a fun and exciting time! Nothing is better than handing the keys over for the first time.”
