Meet Alex
Alex Kirk joins the team at KR Brokers with significant sales, leadership and small business experience at his disposal.
Like many aspiring business owners, Alex’s journey in entrepreneurship started at a relatively young age. While competing as a varsity athlete at Washington State University, Alex was able to actively participate in the growth of an iconic, nationally relevant brand.
After eventually earning a bachelor’s degree from the University of Portland, Alex spent the next 18 years building a handful of successful brands and businesses of his own.
Following a decorated and highly successful 10-year stint as a college basketball coach, Alex turned his attentional to real estate in 2016 and never looked back. In a few short years, Alex quickly built successful mortgage and real estate businesses that expanded from the Pacific Northwest into CA, AZ, TX, FL, and beyond.
In 2018, while continuing to grow his mortgage and real estate businesses, Alex founded a sports technology startup. The company had users on six continents within the first week, was profitable within the first month and expanded into 35 unique verticals within the first seven months post-launch. After a 16 month period of explosive growth, Alex successfully exited the company, the first such time he had done so in his career.
A few months later, Alex parlayed the exit and his previous successes in real estate by acquiring his first service-based business with a partner in 2019. Since then, Alex has been involved in numerous business acquisitions and sales, and is able to draw upon these personal experiences when helping others sell business of their own.
“Being a business broker is the best job in the world,” Alex said shortly after joining the team at KR Brokers. “I get to help business owners retire, cash-out and sell their businesses; while at the same time, getting to help buyers become their own bosses and set themselves up for financial freedom. I mean, what’s better that that?”
Away from the office, Alex is an avid sports fan (go Dubs), loves to golf, and tries to spend as much time as possible at Rimrock Lake with his wife and three kids. Alex currently resides just outside the Tri-Cities in Prosser, WA and still spends a great deal of time in Vancouver, Seattle, Spokane and the other major metro areas of the state. If you’re looking to buy or sell a business, or just curious about the process, Alex welcomes your call - 509.832.0877.
