Joe Alvarez is a third-generation real estate professional whose example for success was set by his grandfather, and his mother who specializes in commercial real estate internationally. Born in Los Angeles and raised in LA, El Paso, Texas and Mexico, Joe traveled extensively with his family, acquiring an early understanding of different cultures and people’s needs. Now a real estate specialist in New York City, he uses his innate intuition, interpersonal savvy and ability to work well with clients of all kinds to find perfect homes for each individual’s lifestyle and budget.

Joe has a gift for patience, and a mission of personal service. After studying Music at the University of Southern California (USC), he obtained his Master degree in Education at Columbia University in New York City, and today draws upon his education background to help others make important decisions that could greatly affect their life. “I’m well trained to guide people through the cognitive process, and to inspire the critical thinking that’s necessary in deciding which home is really best for them. By providing the right information and asking the right questions, we quickly get to the heart of their needs and expedite the process so the outcome is ultimately satisfying.”

An Upper West Side resident for many years, Joe fell instantly in love with Manhattan since moving here to attend Columbia. He has been through the rental and co-op purchases processes himself, so he understands the complexities, and the importance of expert real estate representation. Prior to making the natural transition to a real estate career, he spent many years as an opera singer who has performed nationwide as well as in Europe. Joe brings the same incredible focus, dedication and tenacity to his real estate career, as well as the same outstanding performance.

Fluent in Spanish and English, and conversant in French and Italian, Joe looks forward to working with you to explore your unique real estate needs. Outside of work he still avidly performs, plus he enjoys being a spectator at cultural events from opera to the symphony and theater. You can also find him running in Central Park at every opportunity, even just walking up and down Broadway where he lives admiring the beautiful architecture. (close)
