Alex Chirillo

Broker Associate | Realtor® | License ID: 3439010

+1(941) 468-6681 alex@stiverfirst.com

Alex is a true Englewood native with roots that run deep in the
community. As a third-generation resident, Alex has an unparalleled
understanding of the area and an extensive network of both Buyers and
Sellers.

His educational journey led him to the University of Florida, where he
graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration,
specializing in pre-law. This unique academic background equipped him
with a better understanding of the intricate world of Real Estate Law.
Alex's dedication to the field didn't stop there; he also turned his
attention to Real Estate Principles, Consumer Behavior, and Marketing
during his time at UF. This knowledge gave him insights into the
psychology of Real Estate and allowed him to obtain his Real Estate
License while he was still in college.

While many of his family members pursued careers in medicine, Alex
felt a different calling — one that involved assisting customers in
the sale of their most cherished assets and ensuring their utmost
satisfaction throughout the process. This career path also serves as a
way to stay deeply connected with Englewood and its residents, a
commitment that holds significant importance for him.

Alex enjoys a variety of hobbies, including ice hockey, a sport he
surprisingly was able to enjoy as a Floridian throughout his life.
When he is not working you can probably find him at the Gym or
searching for a unique piece to add to his growing watch collection.

However, what truly sets Alex apart is his unwavering commitment to
giving back to the Englewood and Rotonda West communities. He
currently serves as a board member and active volunteer for both the
Englewood Community Care Clinic and Lemon Bay Sunrise Rotary,
reflecting his strong commitment to the well-being of the place he
calls home.
