Hi, I'm Alonte — a Twin Cities REALTOR® who leads with heart.

From my own first home to yours

I bought my first home in 2021. Nine months later, I quit my job and went all in on real estate — joining the team of the very agent who helped me buy. Buying my own home is literally what got me into this industry, and it's why I'm a buyer's agent at heart.

For the first few years I focused on buyer psychology — learning to walk into any home and see it the way a buyer would. That perspective is my edge today: when I list a home, I already know exactly what will make a buyer say yes. Over the last couple of years I've grown my listing side too, and I love helping people sell and buy at the same time.

None of this happens without my wife. For the first three years of my business she carried us — I wouldn't have made it without her. Now we're a young family: we married in 2024 and our daughter was born in 2023. Being a new husband and dad is exactly why I work the way I do — I know what it means to build something for the people you love.

A Minnesota kid, through and through

I was born in South Minneapolis, went to school in Bloomington, and finished high school in Lakeville — so I've lived the journey from the inner city out to the suburbs. Football, wrestling, and track and field connected me to people all over the metro, and those roots are a big reason I know these communities the way I do.

Off the clock, I'm a bit of a quirky guy — Rubik's cubes, yo-yos, sports, and a whole lot of family time. I'm a person of faith, and I've pitched in with a Minneapolis nonprofit on violence-prevention work. Mostly, though, when I'm not working, I'm with my family.
