Community Highlights: Meet Alex McKinney of Alex McKinney Real Estate

Today we’d like to introduce you to Alex McKinney.  

Hi Alex, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today.
Where to begin? Well starting at 16 years old, I joined the Fire Department and transitioned into a Career In Emergency Medical Services. I gave 14 years of my life serving the community. All while working alongside my stepfather doing small real estate development projects as a teenager. After a lot of hard thought, my passion has always been real estate. I love everything about it from understanding the financial, markets, investing and just looking at beautiful homes on the weekends. So, taking the ideology of public service and merging it with my knowledge of real estate, we developed a system that give concierge-level service to every single client no matter the price point. 

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Absolutely not! Long days, sleepless nights, learning to love the process vs. the result. The road of entrepreneurship is one that is lonely and riddled with failure and opportunity. If you take each failure as a learning opportunity, then the opportunities you create through your hard work and dedication to the process feel like wins.

We’d love to hear about what you think about risk-taking.
My risk tolerance is simple, risk a little to get a little, risk a lot to get a lot, and Risk nothing to get nothing. 

I have taken major risks in my life like leaving a full-time job with no savings to pursue a completely new career. Starting a business with 0 experience in entrepreneurship. The list goes on because everything in life is risky.
