About Alex LaRosa
HOW LONG HAVE YOU LIVED IN CT?
I have been a Connecticut resident my entire life, with the exception of living in Boston during my undergrad. My wife, Stacey, and I reside in Cheshire near the center of town within walking distance to the Farmington Canal. Stacey is a Cheshire native, and her parents still live in her childhood home. The theme continues to run in the family, as my parents have been Southbury residents for the past 25 years, and are in the same home I grew up in as a kid. Naturally, our siblings have settled in neighboring towns, which makes both sets of parents extremely happy.
WHAT IS YOUR NICKNAME?
My wife calls me Chef Al, as I love to cook! The name has caught on, and I must admit, I feed into it. We love hosting dinner parties for family and friends. I like to mix it up and try different recipes any chance I get. My favorite dish to make is chicken parmesan, probably because I love the way the house smells when I make sauce from scratch. It’s a labor of love, but the final product is well worth it, especially when sharing it with a big group. Should you be inclined, check out my Instagram at #chefal.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TIME OF THE YEAR?
Definitely the spring. I am an avid cyclist, so I am always checking the forecast in the days leading up to warmer weather. If it’s over 50 degrees, sunny, with light wind, you’ll see me out there. I enjoy taking care of our lawn, and love when the forsythia and rhododendron are in full blossom. Better yet, it’s the time of year Stacey and I can frequent the trail for walks with our rescue pup, Rosie.
MY FAVORITE LOCAL SPOT?
I couldn’t pick just one, but we love the Watch Factory for authentic Austrian cuisine run by chef Markus Patsch. His whole staff takes pride in customer satisfaction, thus, enhancing the experience for all. Not to mention, the food is amazing! I really like that Markus comes around table to table, introducing himself to newcomers, as well as spending a few minutes with his regulars. His personalized touch and attention to detail are unrivaled. Other great spots include Shef’s Bagels, Sweet Claude’s for ice cream and Cheshire Coffee.

My Reviews
“We used Alex to help sell our home and to purchase a new home. On our listing in Madison, he was extremely attentive – visiting our home on multiple occasions as our circumstances changes, making recommendations on staging and small details, and providing strong research as we came to a consensus on our listing price. He connected us with strong photography and even a 3D Virtual Tour for our home. All of this, ended with us attracting immediate attention on our home and we were able to sell our home with 72 hours of listing! On our home purchase in Fairfield, Alex toured us through the town we were looking in and provided valuable insights on the local neighborhoods. We ended up finding our dream, fixer-upper home but had a difficult negotiation period. Alex was able to be flexible and provide unique insight that saved our deal on multiple occasions. We would not have been able to close and would have missed out on our dream home if we did not have Alex as our agent! Having Alex in our corner was a huge asset as we went through the home selling and buying experience!”
“Alex & Nancy helped sell our house in Southbury. What we liked most about Alex was his communication skills. He was in steady contact with us throughout the whole process giving us feedback whenever there was an interested party who had come to look at the house. They both assisted us in getting the necessary help to complete the repairs needed. Alex also communicated well with our attorney to assure that the closing process would go smoothly. Alex is a new realtor who is eager to learn more about the real estate business and puts 100% of himself into helping his clients. I can see that his expertise in the field will increase rapidly in a short period of time.”
“Alex went above and beyond for the sale of our first home and for the purchase of our new home. Alex did his homework in requards to the market analysis of our home to make sure we listed the home for the proper amount and the house had an offer day 1 and sold within the first week listed !! Alex made sure that everything was as easy and convenient for us as possible as we had a new baby and two large dogs in our home. He went out of his way to make sure selling and buying a home did not interrupt our life! Alex has years of experience in the financial area of real estate which was also a huge asset! I could have not been happier with how everything went and I would recommend him to anyone who wants a knowledgeable and personal real estate who will go beyond his necessary duties to assist you! Thank you Alex !!”
