Meet Alexandra Cathcart | FAU Student & Florida Realtor

We had the good fortune of connecting with Alexandra Cathcart and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Alexandra, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
The genesis of my business stemmed from my deep involvement in the community during my upbringing. Whether assisting in swim lessons, babysitting, or coaching special needs children, my drive was always centered on aiding others. As we grow, the common question of “what do you want to be when you grow up?” resonated with me, and my response consistently revolved around either becoming a real estate agent or dedicating myself to helping others. It dawned on me that I could harmonize these passions, leading to the inception of my career as a realtor committed to fostering positivity and ensuring a smooth process for all involved. Witnessing individuals purchase their first or tenth home is a profound blessing. Every journey is unique, and witnessing the joy of people at the journey’s culmination is my ultimate satisfaction. My aspiration is to continue helping others, both within and outside the real estate realm, for many years ahead.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Distinguishing myself from others, I embarked on my real estate journey during my undergraduate tenure at Florida Atlantic University. Despite facing skepticism about managing it alongside my studies, I used it as motivation to defy expectations. The path hasn’t been without its challenges. Post receiving my real estate license, I grappled with significant health issues, both mentally and physically. This compelled me to pause my license and prioritize my well-being. It was a daunting yet transformative period that involved a two-year struggle with anxiety and depression, an ongoing battle I confront to this day.

However, I’ve learned to navigate these challenges and now openly address them without hesitation. Throughout this journey, I’ve leveraged social media to transparently share my struggles, thereby supporting numerous individuals. I’m appreciative of every experience as it ignited an uncharted determination within me to thrive. My aspirations know no bounds, and my purpose is clear—to aid others, a mission I’m dedicated to fulfilling.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
South Florida offers an abundance of activities, rendering it an exceptional place to reside, particularly during one’s twenties. I relish strolling along the beach with friends, occasionally dropping by a nearby frozen yogurt spot on our way home—it’s a delightful routine. The nightlife here is unparalleled, featuring breathtaking views, rooftop eateries, and entertaining comedy shows. Life here feels ideal, centered around fitness, outdoor pursuits, and fostering friendships.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?

Without my parents, I wouldn’t have achieved the position I’m in today. Their unwavering support and encouragement have propelled me forward. Initiating a business from scratch isn’t simple; it takes a toll mentally and physically. However, their consistent support and unwavering encouragement have made them my strongest advocates, standing by me at every juncture.
