Meet

Alex Plotkin

Alex brings a strategic, data-driven approach to every transaction.

As founder of Plotkin Homes and a top-producing Compass agent, Alex closed more than $60 million in residential real estate in 2025 — ranking him among the Top 5 single agents in Pinellas County. He specializes in luxury resale, new construction, and relocation across St. Petersburg's most sought-after neighborhoods, such as Crescent Lake, Euclid St.Paul, Meadowlawn, Snell Isle, Allendale, Tropical Shores, Old Southeast, and Historic Old Northeast, where he and his family call home.

For new construction, Alex goes beyond simply representing buyers — he personally acquires lots and invests as a joint venture partner alongside Canopy Builders, one of St. Petersburg's most sought-after boutique builders. This hands-on investor role gives his clients a level of access, insight, and opportunity that most agents simply can't offer.

It’s been 3 years since the purchase of our house and we still rely on him for his guidance and support. Alex is the most competent and resourceful real estate professional we have ever come in contact with and highly recommend him to everyone."

"I just recently closed on my first home that Alex and his team helped me find and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Alex is extremely knowledgeable and made the whole process easy and seamless. He is very trustworthy, patient, professional, and responsive. I was very happy with his negotiating and I ended up getting the house for much less then I told him I was willing to pay. I always felt that he was looking out for my best interests. He was recommended to me by a friend who raved about him and I will continue to recommend him to everyone I meet that is looking for a realtor. 10/10 experience. 0 complaints. "

"Working with Alex was an absolute pleasure. He exceeded my expectations at every turn. He was an expert navigating the tricky housing market and helped me close on my dream home.

"Working with Alex! That’s an understatement. Alex works day in and out for you and your family. There was not one moment that he was not educating my family and I on the process of home buying. From day one Alex is not just a Realtor but he is a Relocation Specialist. He helped my family and I transition to Florida in a quick, easy, and no stress process. I never had to worry about if Alex had my families best interests because it was shown each day by care and attention to detail. All the way down to making sure we purchased paper blinds for the first night that we lived in our brand new home to having a bath tub for my 5 month old son installed before we moved in. This was also our families first home EVER. My families first time home buying process could not have been any greater with anyone else other than Alex! There’s no cutting corners with Alex and any service he provides."

"Working with Alex has been one of best experiences since moving to St Petersburg area. I initially had difficulty finding rental property that fit my family's needs. Alex was able to find a townhouse that was perfect us. While living in the townhome, Alex and his team were very responsive to any needs we had. And when we were ready to look for home to buy, he was definitely the realtor we wanted to work with. He worked to understand what we were looking for and always available to show properties to us. He found us our future home before it was completed and built due to his strong network with local builders. And when we had problems with builders in remedying issues with a new build home, Alex readily interjected himself in the process to make things right. Alex Plotkin and his team are not in the business of selling homes; they are in the business of developing relationships that start with home purchase.I recommend him to anyone looking to rent or buy a home in the St Petersburg/Tampa area "

"In August of last year my family decided to relocate to St. Petersburg. My daughter in law found Alex and what a find it was. To say Alex handles all your relocation needs is an understatement. I would call him the Guru of his profession. First he provides you with a beautiful temporary townhouse to rent and live in complete with a heated community pool in a great neighborhood close to everything. You can stay as long as you need to while you work with Alex on finding your dream home. Soon after we moved in we found our dream house that was to be built and it would take about 10 months. I made One Call to Alex about our find and that was it. He took care of the rest END TO END right to closing. Thanks to him buying this new house was a breeze. We just moved in to it this September. The ONLY SAD thing was leaving our rental. Between Janet the ops manager and Rudy his Maintenance Manager all you needed to do was open a ticket and it was resolved the next day!! I know this is a long note but I had to capture all the services Alex provided so if you are thinking of relocating to Tampa/ St. Pete make your FIRST CALL to Alex!! "

"Alex has a wealth of knowledge on everything from local market trends to real estate portfolio management. He focuses on building relationships and YOUR personal experience, rather than sales. Not only does he expertly guide you through the surveying/selection/buying/selling process, but he’s willing to take the time to help you understand the “why?”. I have now worked closely with Alex for over 3 years, and I have come to trust his advice and counsel near-implicitly on real estate investment, both theory and practice. I could not recommend him more "

"My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Alex for our first home purchase. When working with Alex, you not only benefit from his experience and expertise, but you also get connected to his network of people. Him and his associated network are timely, persistent, kind and detail oriented.Our offer got accepted on the first home we bid on and I do not think our offer would’ve been accepted if it wasn’t for Alex. As first time homebuyers, my husband and I were unaware of everything that went into the home buying process but Alex was there every step of the way to help educate us and give his opinion with our best interest in mind.We have now been in our home for a month and Alex is still in constant contact with us, checking in and available to talk whenever questions or concerns arise. Anytime we’ve needed something, he has been quick to respond and ready to help. We’ve also been able to leverage his network of people which has been very helpful in saving us time from researching companies and individuals as we trust Alex and the people he recommends.I would recommend Alex to anyone looking to buy a home in the Tampa Bay area. He has been immensely helpful and made our first time home buying experience smooth and painless. We can’t thank him enough for all he’s done for us! "
