Alex Rozwadowski Shares Expert Insights on Real Estate Pricing Strategies in 2025
Alex Rozwadowski shares 2025 pricing tips: avoid emotional pricing, use data, and create urgency. Smart strategy wins in today's selective buyer market. 'Price your property for the market you're in—not the one you wish for,' says Alex Rozwadowski. 'Value, timing, and clarity drive results.'— Alex Rozwadowski COLUMBUS, GA, UNITED STATES, May 20, 2025 / / -- As the real estate market evolves rapidly in response to shifting economic conditions and buyer expectations, Alex Rozwadowski, CEO and Partner at CENTURY 21 Premier Real Estate, is shedding light on how sellers and agents can better price properties in 2025. Drawing from over two decades of hands-on experience across residential and commercial sectors, Rozwadowski offers a practical perspective grounded in market knowledge and strategic discipline. Alex Rozwadowski emphasizes the importance of clarity, timing, and buyer psychology when setting a listing price. 'The biggest mistake sellers make is pricing emotionally or based on what they 'need' from the sale. The market doesn't respond to need—it responds to value, perception, and demand,' Rozwadowski states. 'It's critical to look at recent comparables, understand hyper-local trends, and be willing to adjust if you're not seeing activity within the first two weeks.' Rozwadowski's guidance reflects the kind of insight that both seasoned agents and first-time sellers seek in today's fluctuating market. With interest rates in flux and affordability tightening, buyers are more selective and data-savvy than ever. This means traditional pricing methods, such as listing slightly above recent comps, may no longer be effective. Instead, the emphasis is now on precision, flexibility, and clear market alignment. He recommends conducting a pre-listing pricing audit that includes evaluating nearby inventory, analyzing pending sales timelines, and even testing price sensitivity before going live. 'In this market, every listing needs to be treated like a launch. Presentation and pricing must work together to create urgency,' he explains. Rozwadowski also addresses the strategic use of pricing brackets, such as listing at $499,000 rather than $505,000, to improve visibility in online searches and attract buyers who filter based on budget thresholds. He also cautions against excessive price reductions, which can send negative signals to the market. 'You don't get a second chance at a first impression,' he notes. 'Overpricing out of the gate can do more harm than underpricing—buyers today are informed, fast-moving, and skeptical of properties that linger.' Alex Rozwadowski brings a unique perspective shaped by a global career. Born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and later raised in the U.S., he is a former Army Ranger and a graduate of Georgia State University. His professional journey spans international banking with Rothschild Private Bank in Zurich to founding one of the largest real estate brokerages in the Chattahoochee Valley and Auburn region. CENTURY 21 Premier Real Estate, which he co-founded in 2003, now boasts over 130 agents and handled more than 1,400 real estate transactions in a single year. His commercial portfolio includes marquee deals such as the $20 million sale of the Chastain Apartments in Atlanta and site acquisitions for brands like Waffle House and Wendy's. Fluent in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, Rozwadowski is recognized for his data-driven approach and ability to navigate complex negotiations in both residential and commercial contexts. As the industry continues to respond to demographic shifts, economic pressures, and evolving buyer preferences, agents and sellers are seeking actionable insights that go beyond surface-level trends. The strategies outlined by Rozwadowski are already being adopted by professionals across the Southeast who want to gain a competitive edge.

Realtor Fired After Leaving Hateful Message Instead of Tip on Restaurant Receipt
A Mexican restaurant in Ohio and its employees have received an outpouring of public support after one customer allegedly left a hateful message instead of a tip. On Monday, March 3, a Facebook user posted images of a Cazuelas Mexican Cantina receipt with the female customer's handwritten note to the waiter, Ricardo. The receipt read for the $87.84 meal read, 'Zero. You suck' on the line where tips are added. Below, the signature line read, 'I hope Trump deports you!!!' The incident allegedly occurred on Sunday, March 2, at the Cazuelas Mexican Restaurant & Cantina in Columbus, Ohio. It follows President Donald Trump's recent immigration efforts, including mass deportations of illegal immigrants and attempts to put an end to birthright citizenship.

'We are aware of the situation with the agent in question. Hate has no place within the CENTURY 21 brand, and we are taking this very seriously," the company said in a statement to WHNT News 19. 'After investigating the situation and connecting with the respective broker, as all companies affiliated with the CENTURY 21 brand are independently owned and operated, we can confirm that this agent is no longer affiliated with the brand,' the statement continued, per News 19. CENTURY 21 did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment. The Columbus Realtor Board also issued a statement to its members on March 3, confirming that the woman is not a current member of Columbus REALTORS. 'Columbus REALTORS® is aware of a local agent's discriminatory statements," the statement read. "While she is not a current member or an employee of Columbus REALTORS®, her comments do not reflect the values of our organization and are not aligned with the high standards we have for our REALTORS.' "We were deeply disappointed by the offensive message left on a recent receipt, which goes against our values and the welcoming environment we strive to create,' Cazuelas Mexican Cantina said in a statement to ABC 6. 'There is no place for hate in our restaurant.'

He added that Ricardo is a natural-born U.S. citizen and from a Latino background. "It was a normal Sunday,' Oribo said. 'Things got a little busy, so the wait could have been a little longer than usual, but we aren't really sure what made her write that.' "From what I hear... she wasn't happy about a coupon or something like that," he told News 19. 'It's just not right, just not right.' 'He's a really good person," Oribo said of Ricardo, who works two jobs and only at the restaurant on Sundays. "We all... come here every day to do our job, which is to serve people and have a good time... Thankfully, all the community has been really supportive." After the post was shared, it quickly went viral and amassed over 11,000 reactions on Facebook. One person created a GoFundMe to raise money for the waiter, and has raised over $9,550 exceeding its goal of $1,000.
