The “ty” is the realty part. The rest is the part most agents skip.
Hi, I’m Alex. I show up. I walk the property and talk through what I’m seeing. Paperwork gets done accurately and on time. I’m patient. If you need me to sit with you through a loan call or while you sign a stack of documents, I’ll be there. And I shoot straight. My job is to help you succeed and smooth out the process wherever I can.
Buying, selling, rentals, commercial, and FSBO support. Southwest Michigan, one phone number.
No commitment • No pressure • Free market analysis
Four lanes, one phone number.
Buying or Selling a Home
First-time buyers, move-up, downsizing, or selling a home in Saint Joseph, Berrien County, or anywhere in Southwest Michigan. I’m a full-service buyer’s and listing agent. Veterans and VA loans are an area I lean into.
- Fiduciary buyer representation, not dual agency
- Free comparative market analysis before you list or offer
- I preview homes weekly and flag what listings don’t show
- VA loan and first-time buyer experience
Commercial Real Estate
Retail, office, industrial, and business-opportunity sales across Berrien County. Pricing backed by MLS data I track myself, so we start from real comps not guesses.
- 354 commercial sales and 72 leases in the county dataset
- Price per sqft, days on market, and financing patterns by year and city
- Straight-up conversations about what a building is actually worth
Rental Property & Investment
I own rentals in Berrien County and help other owners (and would-be owners) figure out where the real deals are and which townships will bite back. Short-term, long-term, single family, multi-family.
- STR rules vary by township. I track all 39 in Berrien County.
- Honest pricing analysis. No “it’ll cash-flow” fantasies.
- Connected to lenders, inspectors, contractors, and title.
Transaction Coordination & FSBO Help
You found the buyer (or the seller). You don’t want to pay 6%. You also don’t want to miss something on the contract or fumble closing. I run the paperwork, the deadlines, and the title side at a flat 1% so the deal closes clean.
- Flat 1% transaction coordination
- FSBO listings, family or neighbor sales, business-partner deals
- Contract drafting, addenda, deadlines, title coordination
- Licensed limited-service representation in Michigan
Resources I’ve built and use on real deals.
These aren’t one-pagers. They’re the tools I lean on when I’m writing an offer, pricing a listing, or sizing up a rental, and they’re on the site for anyone else who’d find them useful.
Berrien County Rental Guides
Short-term and long-term rental rules, fees, zoning, permits, and local enforcement contact for every city, village, and township in Berrien County. Each guide cites the codified ordinance. Updated monthly.

01
Discipline & attention to detail, from the Navy
Service built habits that don’t go away: follow-through on checklists, doubling back to confirm the thing everyone assumed was fine, and writing things down.
-
02
Listening first, from being a medic
Medic work is mostly listening. What hurts, when it started, what made it worse. That’s how I run a buyer or seller consult too. Before I talk about strategy, I want to understand what you’re actually trying to do.

03
Patience & kindness, from raising a family
Real estate moves people through one of the biggest decisions of their life. That deserves patience, not a sales pitch. My wife Elizabeth is a nurse; our daughters Charlotte and Zoey keep us grounded.

04
Local connections that matter
Inspectors, lenders, contractors, title, roofers, HVAC, real-estate attorneys. I have people I’ve personally used. When someone on my list drops the ball, I take them off. That’s what “vetted” actually means.

Straight-up analysis, not a sales pitch
I’d rather walk you out of more homes than into them if something’s off. If comps say $415K and the list is $440K, I’ll say so. If the township just capped STRs, you’ll hear about it before you write the offer.
In their words.
“I have worked with a lot of RE agents over the years and have never seen an agent be more truly hands on! If you are serious about selling a local property at or above the fair market value then don’t hesitate and call Alex.”
“If I decide to sell my home in the future I will certainly be using him again. I highly recommend him to anyone interested in buying or selling their house.”
“If you need a smart & aggressive real estate agent… that is willing to roll up their sleeves and get to work then get Alexander Zeisberg on your TEAM.”

My wife Elizabeth is a dedicated nurse. Together we’re hands-on parents to our daughters Charlotte and Zoey. Charlotte loves every art form she can find, from drawing to dancing; Zoey’s fearless energy keeps us on our toes.
After serving in the military and living around the country, I’ve come to value community and family. Outside of work you’ll find us on Lake Michigan, hiking the sand dunes, or working on a house project.
For us, life is about growth, resilience, and making a positive impact. That carries over into how I show up for clients.
