REALTOR® · Veteran · Investor

Meet Freddy Alban

I was born in Ecuador, raised in the Bronx, and later served in the United States Marine Corps as an infantry team leader. Those experiences shaped how I develop a plan, stay focused when things get complicated, and take responsibility for the people depending on me.

Experience from more than one side

Property, People, and the Numbers

After leaving the Marines, I moved to North Carolina and built a career in banking, fraud prevention, and team leadership. I eventually started businesses and began investing in real estate.

Becoming an investor changed the way I evaluate property. I don’t just see a house and a sales price. I consider the condition, repairs, financing, ownership costs, market demand, potential risks, and what the numbers mean for the person making the decision.

Today, I’m a REALTOR® with Compass and an active real estate investor. I’ve purchased properties, analyzed rentals, managed renovations, negotiated investment opportunities, and helped buyers and sellers navigate their own transactions.

That experience allows me to explain how different options may affect the numbers, timing, and risk so my clients can make informed decisions.

Why I Focus on Probate and Inherited Properties

An inherited property is rarely just a real estate decision. I help families understand the real estate side, compare the available options, and evaluate the potential costs, timelines, and proceeds connected to each path. When legal, tax, or estate guidance is needed, I stay focused on my role as a REALTOR® and help connect the family with the appropriate professionals.

Working With Veterans

As a Marine Corps veteran, I’m especially proud to help fellow veterans and military families use their VA benefits. I have used VA benefits in my own real estate journey, so I understand the process from both a veteran’s and an investor’s perspective.

Working With Investors

Because I actively invest, I understand what investors need from their agent. I help local and out-of-state investors evaluate properties, analyze the numbers, establish a clear buy box, and coordinate the local pieces of the transaction.

Serving Clients in English and Spanish

Whether someone is buying, selling, investing, or dealing with an inherited property, I can explain the process and help coordinate the transaction in their preferred language. When needed, I can connect clients with Spanish-speaking professionals.

More than real estate

Husband and Father of Three

When I’m not helping a client or looking at a property, I’m usually spending time with my family or standing on the side of a soccer field.

Being a father is one of the reasons I take this work seriously. Real estate decisions can affect a family’s finances and plans for years after closing.

My role is to listen, explain the numbers, and help you build a practical plan around your situation.
