Alan Kurlander

Coldwell Banker Realty

Alan Kurlander entered real estate with a business background and the philosophy that “you need to spend money to make money”. In his first week, he invested in a billboard advertising his services. His marketing efforts and tireless work ethic immediately paid off, launching a successful career that has placed him among the best in the industry. But the truest success Kurlander found in real estate was a passion for this business. “I can eat, drink, and talk real estate all day. It’s second nature. I love it”, said Kurlander. “Other jobs I’ve had were a means to an end. I pinch myself every day that I found a business I love and do well at. I can’t want to get up in the morning and come to work.” Part of that joy is the other agents he works with, who share a camaraderie despite competing with one another, said Kurlander. Kurlander said the customer service aspect of real estate is like no other industry. “It’s an amazing thing,” he said. “You’re working with people who are going through the stress of making one of the most important purchases in their lifetime. You can help keep them calm and see the value and educate them. There’s no greater feeling than when you get someone who writes back to you to thank you for making their dream possible and for having been a part of it”. Kurlander has been with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage his entire real estate career. “I think Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage is a very professional company. Their standards are very high, and management is exceptional. They were very supportive of me from day one”, he said.
