Testimonials
My husband and I were looking for a multi family brownstone to buy in Brooklyn during the summer of 2016. We had a buyers broker who we decided to let go of because we were finding most of the listings ourselves and felt confident that we could navigate and negotiate the highly competitive New York waters on our own... After months of running around we finally had the good fortune of seeing one of Carson’s for sale signs in the neighborhood that we lived in. We called Carson to see the place and although it was already in contract he had a couple more listings in the neighborhood. We loved one of the places he showed us and made an offer that night, the next day we found out the good news, our offer was accepted! During the months that followed, a long contractual period with negotiations back and forth, we always felt that Carson was supporting us. Although his primary role was to represent the sellers we felt that he was an excellent dual agent and always had our interests in mind as well. Incredibly responsive, always helpful and a pleasure to work with on every level.AMANDA B.
I had the pleasure of recently working with Carson Alexander. Carson is professional, resourceful, and incredibly dedicated to his Client's listing. I have been representing Clients in real estate for over thirty years. Finding an agent like Carson is rare. He is truly a first class agent.TOM T., ATTORNEY
Carson stuck with us through our entire 1+ year search and brought deep knowledge and an amazing attitude to every interaction. He was super responsive and fun to work with. Highly recommended!STEVE S.
Carson kept me up-to-date with frequent e-mails, even though I lived in Florida and the house being sold was in Brooklyn, NY. He called to explain what he was doing and why. He's very personable and easy to talk to. He also helped my brother to leave the house that was being sold, by finding him a home.DOROTHY Z.
Carson was amazing! I had so many questions and concerns as a first time home buyer and Carson was always available to answer all my questions promptly over text/email/phone. He always gave me his honest opinion about the properties we saw and I trust his judgement completely. Even during the closing process, he was in constant dialogue with the seller, resolving any issues that arose. He really made the whole process very smooth and without surprises. I would recommend Carson to anyone I know in the future!JANE L.
Carson was great every step of the way. He was very patient with us as we learned the market and what we really wanted. Our seller's agent and lawyer were both pushy and difficult, but Carson was always calm and capable.Highly recommended!MATT B.
Carson was great to work with and hustled to get my girlfriend and I in showings as well as helping the process move along. He contacted my lender ahead of time to make sure we would be getting their full attention, and was on top of following up with the seller's agent for answers. Can't recommend enough.RYAN L.
Mr. Carson Alexander facilitated the sale of a commercial building we owned. As the seller's broker, he was knowledgeable & informative, caring and available for consultation and guidance about the process and ultimate sale of the building. He interfaced and vetted potential buyers and did so with utmost of care and professionalism. He communicated with me on a consistent basis. His insights and sound advice were extraordinarily helpful to the successful sale of the property. It was truly a pleasure working with Carson. I highly recommend Carson and look forward to working with him again.IRIT W.
Carson WORKS for your business. He cares about the sell but is more focused on the right buy. He does not push when you say no but helps you develop a POV on real estate as you search and explore. He is quick to respond, through a variety of devices and works to answer the question. The thing that really amazed me is that he did not stop once the contract was signed. He continued to work hard, answering every question and making our asks happen (multiple walk throughs of the space before we closed, contract details, etc). Carson is fantastic and highly recommend him.CHRIS M.
Carson is fantastic. He helped me sell my Brooklyn co-op apartment for over asking price and was incredibly helpful and professional along the way. I needed my apartment painted, cleaned, and staged for sale and he provided excellent resources to get all of these things done well. He was always available to chat and responded to my emails promptly. I will definitely recommend Carson to my friends!JENN R.
I had been trying to self-broker my place but after a couple of open houses and felt I wasn't getting any traction, so I decided to see if I could get a broker. Among the brokers that I saw, Carson seemed the most thoughtful and gave me a solid marketing plan. I was not disappointed. Since I was moving, I had to give up a lot of control over the process to Carson, which made me somewhat nervous. But Carson would diligently keep me updated. After each open house, he had a very good sense of who were the likely buyers (something I lack) and would immediately follow up and get bids. As it turns out, I got more than the list price and a very smooth closing. All of Carson's recommendations were sound. I highly recommend Carson if you are interested in selling your home in Brooklyn.TOM C.
I emphatically recommend Carson Alexander for help with your NYC real estate needs. I have worked intensively with Carson twice - once on the buying end and once on the selling end. He was spectacularly effective on both occasions and I would absolutely seek him out again for future transactions. In our work together, Carson demonstrated all the attributes necessary for great success in the NYC real estate world: deep knowledge of the market and the real estate buying/selling processes, a tremendous customer service ethos, willingness to go the extra mile (and in my case, extra ten miles) again and again, great negotiation instincts, and exceptional interpersonal skills (as well as a great sense of humor). Carson is truly outstanding. I recommend him without reservation.DAVID F.
I had a terrific experience working with Carson to sell my co-op on the UES. From the beginning, he provided excellent advice and guidance. I believe his suggestion to stage the apartment was part of what got me multiple offers within a week of listing! I was across the country during the entire process, but he was always easily reachable. I encountered some road bumps along the way to the closing, but his support, suggestions and expertise were invaluable. I wouldn't hesitate to refer him to friends and family. Great guy and great broker!JUSTINE B.
I could not give a higher recommendation of my experience with Carson - he is an amazing advocate for a buyer and meets you exactly where you are at - with information, with patience, with a smile. He listens, is honest and ethical, and just really pleasant to be around. Choose him.KATHERINE B.
Carson represented my coop studio apartment for sale at 415 E. 85th St. in the Yorkville neighborhood of Manhattan. I don't think either of us could have imagined the ups and downs and trials and tribulations that awaited us along the way when we first entered into our agreement. I certainly never realized how many challenges could occur in the total renovation and sale of a coop apartment. However, in every instance, Carson handled each situation that arose as the professional he is: calmly, with a positive attitude and, always, with the end result in mind. From negotiating with stagers and contractors to ensure the best values and lowest costs in the huge renovation awaiting the property; monitoring the progress of the renovation; and, finally, to the showing of the apartment and receiving an offer within days of the first open house, ultimately leading to its sale at a great price. Throughout, Carson was in almost daily contact with me via e-mails and phone calls, keeping me apprised of and involved in the progress of the renovation and other happenings. I highly recommend Carson Alexander as your agent if seeking to buy or sell a property in both this neighborhood and all others in the NYC area.JACKIE R.
How We Can Help
The sale of your property can be one of the most stressful times of your life, but it doesn’t have to be. It comes down to who you hire for the job. Unlike our competitors, we use a combination of artificial-intelligence, data, and our experience in personally closing over 100 transactions to protect you, bring your the highest number possible, and reduce stress along the way. We haven’t seen it all and believe that no one has. You won’t find us resting on our laurels – we are constantly reviewing how we can improve. Talk is cheap but the sale of your home isn’t. That is why our exclusive agreements contain a simple and straightforward cancel anytime clause. When you work with us, we have your back.

A mortgage lender once told me that if you haven’t bought in New York City in the last three years, you’re a first time homebuyer. The market is changing and so is the real estate industry, Imagine you’re headed to a foreign country where you don’t speak the language, and the cost of this trip is more expensive than anything you have ever done. Would you use a travel agent? Probably. What about a trusted, licensed local guide that will show you around and be there to help you at a moment’s notice? Sounds expensive, but it turns out the service costs you nothing. Sounds like a no brainer, right? That is a buyer’s agent. In the ever more complex world of buying New York City real estate, a buyer’s agent is someone who has done it before, is licensed by the State of New York, and serves your interests only while being paid by the seller at closing. Add to that the ability to show you properties that aren’t on the market yet, and you’ve got The Carson Alexander Team.

When a probate case is filed, there are several people reaching out to executors directly, and it is hard to know who has the heirs’ best interests in mind. There is often more to do than one executor or family can handle, and this can be overwhelming. Our goal is to support estate executors and heirs by taking as much off of their family’s plates as possible while complementing the work done by the probate attorney. We are often more available to check on a property and coordinate local professionals than are the estate’s executors. It’s our pleasure to offer these crucial services at no extra cost.
