Alexandra Rhea Balouzian

Alexandra Rhea began her real estate career in 2015, inspired by her own experience navigating the New York City home-buying process. What began as a personal passion quickly evolved into a career built around helping others successfully buy, sell, and invest in New York City real estate.

With a focus on residential sales, first-time buyers, co-op transactions, lofts, and investment properties, Alexandra takes a highly personalized approach to every client and transaction. She believes that successful real estate is about much more than a transaction—it is about understanding her clients’ goals, anticipating challenges, and providing thoughtful guidance at every step of the process.

Alexandra’s background in fine arts and design gives her a distinctive perspective when preparing homes for market. With a natural eye for proportion, layout, and aesthetics, she understands how to highlight a property’s best features and create a compelling presentation that resonates with buyers. She is particularly hands-on during the pre-listing process, working closely with sellers to identify opportunities for improvements, styling, and strategic preparation that can maximize a property’s appeal and value before it ever hits the market. Her clients appreciate her meticulous attention to detail, strong communication, and willingness to be involved in every aspect of the process.

As a real estate investor herself, Alexandra brings firsthand experience to the buying, renovating, and ownership sides of Manhattan real estate. She has personally renovated apartments in New York City and has developed a strong understanding of the alteration process, from evaluating a property’s potential to navigating building requirements and managing the many details that come with a renovation. This experience allows her to help clients look beyond a property’s current condition and understand both its possibilities and potential challenges.

Alexandra’s experience on both the sales and investment sides of the business gives her a well-rounded perspective that is particularly valuable in New York’s complex real estate market. Whether working with a first-time buyer, a seasoned investor, or a seller preparing a longtime home for market, she combines market knowledge with a thoughtful, service-oriented approach. Her clients value her accessibility, honesty, attention to detail, and commitment to making what can often be an overwhelming process feel organized and manageable.

Originally from Chicago, Alexandra is a graduate of Rutgers University, where she earned a BA in Communications and Public Relations and a BFA in Dance. She later continued her studies in architecture at Parsons School of Design, further developing the design sensibility that has become an integral part of her real estate practice.

Today, Alexandra brings together her communications background, artistic eye, investment experience, and deep understanding of New York City real estate to provide a highly hands-on and strategic experience for her clients—from the first conversation through closing and beyond.
