POPULARITY
Alex E. Edwards didn't wait for permission to succeed — he rewrote the rules. After purchasing his first multifamily property in his early twenties, he went on to build a multimillion-dollar real estate company and become the founder of Thumbprint Realty, now the largest Black-owned brokerage in New England. But Alex's impact goes far beyond transactions. As a TEDx speaker and author of Mortgage Before Marriage, he's leading a bold conversation: what if financial freedom should come before marriage — not after? Through more than 1,200 closed transactions and millions in buyer assistance, Alex has helped turn access into opportunity, especially for single women and first-generation homebuyers who've been told to “wait their turn.” In this conversation, we unpack how money stress silently impacts relationships, why equity can strengthen families, and how ownership transforms communities. His mission? Help one million people build legacy before love — because when we change what we own, we change everything that follows. This one will challenge how you think about money, marriage, and what it really means to build wealth.FOLLOW ALEX

Alex E. Edwards was born and raised in Massachusetts. He grew up in the struggling area of Dorchester/Fields Corner to be exact. After giving up on a relationship with his father, he decided to seek success on his own. Before landing a job out of his community he did not understand the value of life and his potential. Believing no food and low income was normal in every household-that his struggles were just a regular part of life. One of his first jobs was in a predominantly white neighborhood & being in that atmosphere taught him a lot about himself and where he comes from. Wanting more for himself and his family he made the decision to work really hard in order to change that narrative of his life and that of his children; the future. Unfortunately some things change for the worse, after spending a few years working in this environment he noticed he can never escape racism or be light enough to be accepted into these kinds of neighborhoods and in his own neighborhood he can no longer relate to anyone and now feeling like he is not dark enough to be in the neighborhood. Realizing the only way he can fix this issue is work extremely hard, learn from those who know more, and teach those who know less. Now Alex E. Edwards is a well respected human man that's black who has become one of Massachusetts most trusted real estate Brokers. Across his professional career, Mr. Edwards prides himself on his ability to connect with people across all ages and backgrounds; as well as his strong commitment to exceptional customer service. Alex E. Edwards is the co-founder and Real Estate specialist with FBU. He's a sales strategist with 13+ years of experience as a real estate broker/agent. He is an industry expert in sales, promotion, real estate acquisition, and wealth building. Flipping Bricks University is an educational platform dedicated to helping individuals learn wealth building skills that they were never taught (starting with Real Estate investing and ownership.)Beginning his career in the banking industry, Mr. Edwards held a variety of different positions at the Bank of America – Brookline MA branch. It was in Brookline where Mr. Edwards helped to develop and implement their strategic plan to increase their client base. Alex has had an interest in Real Estate from a very young age, and it shows that, being he purchased his first home at the age of 20. In 2009, Alex E. Edwards officially transitioned into Real Estate earning his license and building his client base very quickly. Building his client base in turn built his business quickly, and eventually Alex successfully and dutifully obtained his Broker's License in [2014] and founded his own Brokerage Thumbprint Realty in [2015]. Fast forward to today in 2019, and you'll find that Thumbprint Realty is a name many know at this point of time; either as a brokerage they can fully trust in or a Brokerage to keep an eye on. Numerous well-known Brokerages have approached Mr. Edwards on the topic of partnering or purchasing Thumbprint Realty(Compass and Century 21 to name a couple). Alex E. Edwards is now a millionaire and a Real Estate Developer... but what hasn't changed is that he is a phenomenally colossal advocate for his community. Under Alex's direction and guidance, clients and agents alike know that Thumbprint Realty ensures that homebuyers are well-served and well-prepared for one of the biggest decisions of their lives.

Let your clients know you are still here when they are ready to move forward. Check in with them 2. Follow up with past clients 3. Cleaning businesses are probably doing really well now. You can partner with cleaning companies. You can recommend them to your clients and see if you can give your clients some discounts through partnership 4. If you are a real estate agent with a 1099 you can file unemployment 5. Think about doing virtual tours for your clients. He also gave Financial advice. 1. You can purchase a home before you get married. He believes it is important for finances to be intact before engaging in a relationship 2. Start teaching your children about finances. For example you can let them see what the bills look and how to pay them so that they understand finances. Gave us some ways we can educate ourselves during this time. 1. Don't forget to live.
