Alexa Real Estate is a boutique agency, where we focus entirely on achieving the best outcome for our clients

Our Mission

Established in 2010, Alexa Real Estate is an Adelaide-based, family-owned company that values working for the benefit of many rather than for the benefit of the individual. In real estate circles, words such as ethics and trust are often abused for marketing purposes. However, we know that these words are verbs, not nouns. They are action words, and we take ethics and trust very seriously.

From our foundation built on ethics and trust, our mission is to ensure the highest possible standards of knowledge, service and results are provided to our clients, ensuring that they and our community as a whole benefits in the best possible way.

    It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

FOR YOUR INTEREST

Adelaide home styles since 1836

 

Because we are curious people, and like to share what we learn, we’ve put together a pictorial history to celebrate the rich variety of house styles in South Australia over the past 180 years, or so. This research provides insight into the availability of materials at the time of construction as well as levels of prosperity and political climate during certain periods of our state’s history.

Perhaps due to the abundance of available land, and the method of land subdivision, the people of early Adelaide had a strong affinity for single story detached dwellings. Even in the city of Adelaide, the proportion of terrace houses which were originally constructed was far less than that observed in cities such as Melbourne and Sydney.

One of the first home styles built in Adelaide was the early settler's cottage which is a replica of the traditional English country cottage. These were originally built with materials available at the time, which included reeds, bark, turf, logs, clay reinforced with straw, stone or brick. Some of the stone or brick cottages still remain today.

Although this evolution of Adelaide home styles is not a definitive compilation, it provides an interesting collection and variation of examples of styles. Dates provided are indicate the period in which these homes were built.

    Professional and friendly

    "Thanks once again for taking on our property and doing such a good job with selling it. We believe that your approach, advice and expertise was, and is, excellent. Here's a few words for you, penned by Maggie and which I agree with wholeheartedly!

    It was an absolute pleasure doing business with Angelo. He constantly kept us informed on how things were tracking and was always very professional and friendly. We will definitely have him sell our next property."

    They know what they are doing

    "I highly recommend Angelo Mena from Alexa Real Estate as he gets the job done with great results. We had our property on the market for 4 months with a reputable agent without any offers. Angelo did extensive research and placed our property on the market and we had an offer at the first open that resulted in a sale.

    The results speak for themselves. Angelo explained the process every step of the way and kept us informed, while doing all the work. We live interstate and did it all over the phone.

    Forget the "big boys", go with the people that are actually interested in achieving the best outcome rather than just a pay cheque!!

    We were delighted with Alexa Real Estate and highly recommend them to anyone who wants to sell their property. They know what they are doing."

    Make it as easy as possible to sell a house

    “Normally selling a house from overseas would be a very daunting prospect, but I knew that Alexa Real Estate would make it as easy as possible.

    From the start Angelo explained his approach and the market situation and produced a comprehensive sales plan. He was always available to answer questions and regularly kept me up to date via international phone calls with detailed information about the market, the progress of the selling process, and the strategy he was employing.

    Angelo put in a huge effort with house opens, follow ups, and also managed the relationship with the sitting tenant to ensure everything went smoothly. I ended up getting a good price in a difficult market and have no doubt that things would have been far more difficult without Angelo's knowledge, effort and dedication.

    He knows his stuff and works very hard to get the best outcome for his clients. “

    An impressed quick sale

    "We were impressed with the quick sale and great result achieved during the recent sale of our home.

    Angelo was extremely motivating, helpful and flexible during the initial period of time when we were feeling overwhelmed and unsure of what the first steps should be. He provided us with the extra care and assistance like no other agent has ever done before and kept us totally informed along the way.

    His Buyer Booklets and marketing approach were extremely impressive and genuinely helped create interest in the property.

    In just over 2 weeks he presented us with 6 offers and we ended up getting a great price for our home.

    We have recommended Angelo to our family and friends and will continue to do so."

    Incredibly dedicated and honest

    "We are so happy with the sales service we received from Angelo and Alexa Real Estate during the sale of our property. It was a tough market and Angelo was great at keeping us informed and helping us understand the current market & prices. He worked extremely hard getting the sale across the line and ended up getting us a great result.

    He's an incredibly dedicated and honest salesperson, which seems to be a rare quality in Real Estate Agent's these days, and we would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone".

    Sold in one Week above asking price

    "Recently I had to organise the sale of a family home on behalf of my elderly uncle.

    I'm so glad we chose Angelo to assist us - from the beginning he has gone "above and beyond", and kept the whole process moving along at times when I was struggling to find time to get things done.

    From the outset, we felt very comfortable trusting his judgment and assessments, which in the end always proved to be spot on.

    The marketing campaign and strategy Angelo customised for my uncle's property, together with his in depth knowledge of the Kurralta Park area, brought the best possible result for us – within 4 days on the market, we had received 8 offers to choose from, with 2 of those being above the advertised price range.

    I will definitely be calling on Angelo again for his expertise in the future, as likely will other family members and friends who have been impressed with the job he did for my uncle."

    He was persistent in his aim for a good outcome and because of this I would be happy to recommend his services to anyone".

    9 Offers, 4 at or Above Asking Price & SOLD in 1 week

    "I recently sold my home of 10 years and asked Angelo Mena to help with this.

    The research Angelo did for my home and the effort he put into the sale was extremely impressive. He ensured that the home was presented in the best possible way and prepared a marketing booklet for my home to a standard that I have never seen before.

    I felt that I could trust Angelo throughout the whole process and in the end I was amazed with how fast and how well the property sold. Angelo's communication was excellent and the final result he achieved was largely due to the care, effort & knowledge he put into my home.

    I would definitely use Angelo again and would happily recommend him to my family and friends".

    Unbelievable Experience

    "We got Angelo to sell our home in Murray Bridge. He sold it in a quarter of the time it usually takes for the area and for more than all the other local agents in the area were saying it would go for.

    He left no stone unturned and it was his marketing strategy and sheer persistence that got the job done as fast and as well as it was done. His communication was excellent and he reported to us thoroughly every week until it was sold. We knew what was happening every step of the way.

    A very bright guy that you've gotta love. We'll be selling our next home with him and will be recommending him to everyone".

    "During the recent sale of my home Angelo achieved a result well beyond my expectation and well beyond what other agents told me the home would sell for.

    From beginning to end, Angelo took great care to ensure that everything was perfect and that the marketing was spot on.

    Angelo's communication throughout the process was excellent and the sale could not have been handled any better.

    I highly recommend Angelo for the sale of any property and have already told my family and many friends about our result".

    From beginning to end Angelo took control of the situation and was very conscientious and thorough throughout the process. We were very impressed with his marketing approach and the buyer booklets he had prepared for our home.

    By the first open Angelo had shown 33 groups through the home and within 2 days he had 3 offers above our top asking price.

    The sale could not have gone any better.

    7 Offers in 3 Days. Sold for $20,000 above asking price

    " I had anticipated a stressful, complex and prolonged process, but what we experienced was the exact opposite to this. Angelo took care of the entire process with a high level of professional competence. He kept us informed every step of the way and was always there for us if we had questions or issues. He was absolutely dedicated to getting the best possible outcome for us.

    His excellent marketing strategy generated such a high degree of interest that by the end of the first week of the house being on the market, we had received seven offers, and a couple of days later sold the property for above the asking price.

    Angelo impressed us with his warm and caring communication throughout the process, balanced with great competence, integrity and professionalism. We will certainly use Angelo again and have recommended him to our family and friends.

    We highly recommend Angelo to you for any property transactions that you may have in the future".
