Today we’d like to introduce you to Alex Flynn, Michelle Zoolalian
Alex Flynn, Michelle Zoolalian, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
Meet Michelle Zoolalian and Alex Flynn, a dynamic duo in the real estate industry with a combined experience of over three decades.
Michelle Zoolalian has been licensed since 2003, embarking on her career in property management while diligently putting herself through college. With a remarkable track record of managing over 2,500 units across five states, Michelle established herself as a skilled professional in the field. However, her true passion lay in residential sales—a dream she pursued by relocating to Los Angeles. For the past 20 years, Michelle has been building a thriving business primarily through referrals, with an impressive 90% of her clientele coming from repeat and referral business.
Alex Flynn joined the real estate scene 11 years ago, bringing a unique background in fashion marketing and public relations from the East Coast. Having traveled the world, Alex decided to settle in Los Angeles to start a family and embark on her own journey in real estate. Together, Alex and Michelle specialize in properties from South Bay and Westside down to Malibu, leveraging their diverse experiences to provide exceptional service.
Fluent in Spanish and having lived in Argentina as a child, Michelle enhances their ability to connect with a broader range of clients. Alex also speaks Italian, further expanding their communication capabilities. Together, they are committed to delivering unparalleled service and building lasting relationships in the real estate community. With their combined expertise, they ensure that every client receives the attention and dedication they deserve, making their real estate dreams a reality.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
The road has certainly not been smooth for either of us. For Michelle, diving into a business built on relationships while transitioning to Los Angeles presented significant challenges. Moving to a new city without knowing a single person—except for her fiancé—meant that she had to work incredibly hard to build those connections from scratch. It required dedication and resilience, but she embraced the challenge and focused on cultivating meaningful relationships in the real estate community.
For Alex, the journey had its own set of hurdles. After obtaining her license, she found herself pregnant, which added another layer of complexity as she juggled motherhood and a growing career in real estate. Despite facing the difficulties of a divorce, Alex remained committed to her goals. She worked tirelessly to balance her responsibilities while ensuring that client service never wavered. Both of us have faced our struggles, but we have persevered, using those experiences to strengthen our resolve and enhance the level of service we provide to our clients.
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Compass Real Estate ?
Building relationships is our top priority. We don’t focus on just one transaction; we aim to create lifelong connections. Every transaction is customized to meet our clients’ unique needs because we believe in a personalized approach, not a one-size-fits-all model. This dedication has earned us a strong reputation, with 90% of our business coming from repeat clients and referrals.
What sets Compass apart is that it’s not your typical brokerage. Joining Compass requires recruitment and vetting, unlike most brokerages that accept anyone with a license. Compass represents the best of the best in the industry.
What’s next?
Our goal is to expand our business across the city and into areas like Malibu, the South Bay, and Orange County. However, it’s essential that we maintain the hands-on, personalized service that defines us.
We’re committed to growing strategically, ensuring that as we reach new markets, we continue to deliver the same level of excellence our clients expect.
