BACKGROUND

As a native to the great Northwest, I understand why so many people are passionate about living here. I grew up in a home my dad built in Gig Harbor, and today my wife, two kids and I live just about a mile from that house in a home and neighborhood that we love. As a young boy, I had an entrepreneurial spirit that began with me mowing lawns and selling hot dogs at the Daffodil Festival to eventually being the manager of a clothing store by the time I was a senior in high school. Soon, I started my own store and for nine years I worked to grow my business until selling it in 1993. It was then that I began my real estate career, bringing my years of experience as a businessman and investor to benefit my real estate clients.

STRENGTH & SUPPORT

Since starting my real estate career in 1993, I have participated in over 1,300 successful real estate moves. Recognizing it can be a stressful time when buying a home, I balance the experience for my client with an abundance of communication. Windermere was my choice in 1993 and remains so today because of the company’s client-centric values that align with mine. One of the defining strengths of Windermere is their market tools which focus on the partnership between the client and the agent they have hired. My perspective of the market offers my clients a predictable experience. I can manage their expectations by drawing on my experience and guiding them through the process. I am not selling anything, rather counseling them through the use of data and providing context for my client to see how they fit into the market as a seller or buyer.

MISSION STATEMENT

My goal is always to provide real information and obtain real results, completely focused on what is best for my client.

GUARANTEE of PERFORMANCE

I accept the responsibility of serving you any way I can to ensure the sale of your home, for the most money, in the least amount of time and with the least amount of hassle. If I have not performed to your satisfaction, I will cancel the agreement.

Alex Munoz was born and raised in Gig Harbor, Washington where he has spent his whole life enjoying the Pacific Northwest. He graduated from Gig Harbor High School and received his associate’s degree from Pierce College, where he played baseball for two years. Graduating college in 2011 he saw an opportunity in a depressed economy to learn a profession he knew would be rewarding.

His family has bought, built, and sold real estate since he was a child. Growing up on an excavator with his dad clearing the lot or with his mom who was designing the house you can say; real estate is in his blood. Alex completed his real estate licensing and started working for Windermere Real Estate at the age of twenty-one. 

In 2011 the market was barely afloat and people were still recovering from one of the worst recessions to ever hit this country, but it was a time of learning and a time of opportunity. He has seen the market pendulum swing from left to right and has never taken for granted the chance to learn and to become an expert.

He takes pride in being transparent and a professional, while providing solutions and wisdom during the process of buying, selling, or investing in residential real estate. Through the years he has developed and maintained a motivated passion for the industry and has created ever lasting relationships with his associates and clientele.

Ultimately, Austin’s approach to real estate is simple: He’s most interested in taking care of his people and ensuring they truly have expert guidance throughout the process.

He takes pride in the fact that about 90% of his business is referral-based, and it is his top priority to take excellent care of each client who trusts him. Ethical decision making and high-quality service are essential to a successful home buying and selling process. Austin serves as a true fiduciary to his clients, and he does not take this responsibility lightly.

At every phase of the process, he offers his dedication and patience. Austin’s experience with contracts, nuanced transactions and changing markets allows him to provide expert negotiation skills and quality advice.

First-Hand Experience

Austin is a numbers guy with a science background, and his analytical side and systems-based approach combined with the fact that he brings his own personal real estate experience to the table puts his clients at an advantage.

Austin has had the opportunity to invest in single-family homes, multi-family properties and a commercial business. With the first multi-family property he bought, Austin and his dad remodeled each unit in the triplex one by one. Kitchen remodels, installing flooring, getting rid of that popcorn ceiling… he’s done it all!

Because of this first-hand experience, Austin is well-versed in what qualities make a property a strong investment, whether you are buying a home to live in yourself or you’re making a purchase to grow your portfolio.

Love Where You Live

REALTOR® Austin Wagner has lived all over the South Puget Sound; University Place, Gig Harbor, Olympia, and Tacoma have all been home at some point.

Currently, Austin lives in North Tacoma, and while Tacoma’s North End just happens to be his favorite neighborhood, he appreciates how each of Tacoma’s communities (and the neighboring cities) offer something unique.

Austin moved to Tacoma from Yakima to attend University of Puget Sound, where he earned a degree in molecular and cellular biology, and played football. Right after graduating, Austin began his real estate career in 2017 and has never looked back!

Austin Outside of Real Estate

Time spent with friends is Austin’s favorite past time. A good game of chess, debating, traveling, or just grabbing brunch (he suggests a burrito from Grit City Breakfast Bar & Grill, or a nice morning at La Sel Bistro), are some of his favorite activities.

Trips Lake Chelan are always a good time, too—Austin grew up going to Lake Chelan and loves time spent in the sun or on the water.

Athletics are also a passion—as a kid, Austin traveled all over the country as a wrestler, and he loves staying active.
