In the competitive real estate world in New York, Teresa Alexander stands out for her authentic and human approach. Italian-American Broker with roots in Salerno, has been able to combine the concreteness of the New York real estate market with the sensitivity and values of Italian culture. His story is that of a professional who, between Manhattan and Westchester, turned the job into a mission: build bridges between people, communities and dreams.
Teresa Alexander, a broker associated in the New York real estate, has become a reference point for the Italian-American community. Between Manhattan, Westchester and its Salernitane origins, he built a career based on trust, empathy and a deep sense of belonging.
“I’m a real New Yorker, but with an Italian soul,” says Teresa, who was born and raised in Westchester, as her father and mother of Queens, and has always lived a balance between two cultures. Every summer he returns to Italy, in Salerno, for the Festa di San Rocco: “A true family pilgrimage is where I learned Italian and the value of traditions”.
For her, New York is the new Italy:
“Here the Italians are creating, innovating and carrying out culture in ways that in Italy, at times, have lost. It is a contemporary, alive Italy that reinvents itself every day”.
After graduating in economics and Italian and an experience in Rome, Teresa began working for NBC in television marketing. Then the turn: “I consider the need for something more concrete. In the real summer I found my way. Every house is a story, every customer a dream to realize”.
Its customers are international: creatives, professionals, families from all over the world.
“I don’t only work with Italians or Italian-Americans. I collaborate with Japanese, Chinese, European customers. Cultures change, but the principle remains the same: respect for money, for dreams and for people.”.
In a competitive city like New York, building trust is the key to success.
“Being the first generation, I had to work hard to build a solid network. The city changes continuously, and with it also the market. You must know how to evolve without losing yourself.”.
Its approach is based on a principle: integrity. “I never push customers. When someone invests the savings of a lifetime, my job is to protect them, not to take advantage of them. Trust is everything.”.
Despite the hectic rhythm, Teresa does not lose sight of what really matters: the community. It is active in the Italian-American scene of New York, from city parades to the Vespa Club. “They are moments when we rediscover who we are and keep our traditions alive, even far from Italy”.
His heart neighborhoods?
“Manhattan is fascinating, but I love the West Village: historical, romantic, authentic. I also work in Brooklyn and Queens, where I often find the best opportunities for families.” He said.
For Teresa Alexander, true success is not only economic, but human. “When I see a family entering the house of their dreams, I know I’ve done something important. It is not a simple sale, it is a shared path”.
Its balance between work and private life is the secret to being centered in a city that never sleeps.
“New York can be overwhelming, but knowing to make a difference in others’ lives gives a deeper sense to all I do.”.
Teresa Alessandro embodies the new generation of Italian-American professionals: cosmopolitan, empathic and rooted in their values. An example of how passion, culture and determination can be transformed into a bridge between two worlds.
“The success is real only when it is shared — with the community, with customers, with its own history.”.
