Alex Rastgar
Sales Manager | Real Estate Broker
Thanks to a lifelong passion for learning, Alex has amassed an impressive portfolio of industry accreditations and professional certifications. While these accomplishments certainly serve as a prestigious testament to his industry expertise and market knowledge, if you ask Alex about his proudest career accomplishments, he points instead to the long-term relationships that he has forged over the years. His clients regard him as a savvy negotiator, a trusted advisor, and an invaluable advocate when it comes to managing their crucial real estate decisions. As a result, the commitment he invests in his clients is reciprocated in the form of repeat business and ongoing friendship.
With a multifaceted background in civil engineering, construction and project management, real estate was, ultimately, an obvious career path for Alex – and one that capitalizes on his strength in both sales and management. He understands what makes a city tick from the ground up, he possesses a keen understanding of architecture and design, and his attention to detail – honed during years spent as a project manager – is now adeptly applied in pursuit of finding the perfect homes and neighbourhoods to suit his clients’ unique needs and wants.
In the many years he has spent living in Toronto, Alex has watched this city grow into the world-class destination that it is today and is optimistic about what the future holds both for Toronto and its inhabitants. He believes that the city is full of opportunity and has the potential to become a hub of innovation thanks to an educated workforce, rich cultural diversity, and a rapidly growing population. As such, he believes the future is also bright for real estate in this city and is particularly excited about the role that Shaheen & Company gets to play within that landscape.
In addition to being a trusted real estate agent, Alex also serves as Broker Manager at Shaheen & Company. This means that he is involved in the big picture of the organization’s growth, while also having his hand in the day-to-day intricacies of the business. This broad perspective provides him with up-to-the-minute insight as far as the industry, the economy and Toronto’s numerous neighbourhoods and markets are concerned.
When he isn’t busy fostering the enviable team culture at the office, or preparing a listing for market, Alex adores spending time with his wife and daughter at some of the city’s beloved attractions, such as Ripley’s Aquarium, the Distillery District, or strolling Toronto’s picturesque waterfront.
