Over 27 Years Licensed Real Estate Experience in Benicia, Vallejo and surrounding cities from Sacramento to San Mateo: Even before then, I was a real estate investor. During my career, I have helped clients prosper during two booms, two recessions and everything in the middle.
When Buying: I assure you will find a property that far exceeds your expectations and needs, both today and for years to come.
When Selling: I will spare no effort to get you the most for your property. It’s your equity. It’s your money. It’s your nest egg. You’ve earned it and you deserve it. I can arrange the highest quality and lowest-cost professional staging, painting, landscaping, or needed repairs to ensure your property sells quickly and for top dollar.
Investing: You can expect far better than average results as I have more experience in rental properties than 99% of the licensed agents out there. In fact, most of my clients are repeat investors. Whether looking to buy or sell residential rental or commercial property or short-term flips, I have far more success and experience than most in my field. That’s why professional investors continue to rely on me. They expect far better-than-average results.
Why Choose Me?
- Deep Local Knowledge: I have lived and worked in Solano County since 1986 and know the neighborhoods, schools, businesses, trends and nuances very well.

- Seamless Communication: You’ll always be informed and involved throughout the entire process.
I’m Always Generous With My Time:
- When buying, especially for first timers, I recommend my clients view at least a dozen homes at a minimum before making a decision. Some of my clients looked at over 30 homes before they made a decision and in every case they are happy they did.
- When selling, I’ll spare no time or effort insuring your home looks its best to attract the most and highest offers. This is where my professional staging training and experience shines.

Clients' Opinions
I highly recommend using Alex and New Standard Reality. Back in 2021 I was looking for a home for me and my fiancé. Alex really took the time to get to know me and what we wanted along with our future plans. After looking at maybe 40 homes, and showing us the pro's and con's of each, he finally found us the perfect home in Benicia. Not to mention he lined us up with a excellent financing. Then last year it came time to sell my property in Walnut Creek. The property needed some help and Alex quickly had landscapers, contractors and painters come in and make the property look outstanding. Not to mention the excellent staging. Alex put the property on nothing short of 50 relator sites in Northern California. I was amassed. Then in no less than two months he lined up a qualified buyer with a preapproved loan and a two week close with no contingencies. Alex is a true professional.
Alex helped us execute our personal investment strategy to create great cash flow and a huge future upside. He has keen awareness of the local market and can help you pick a winner. These opportunities come around once in a lifetime.
Alex helped us buy this home for 25% of its previous value, and quickly rented it for top dollar. His helpfulness, insight and integrity are great.
Very knowledgeable, top of his game!
I would gladly recommend Alex Schauffert to anyone who needs the services of a realtor; he will exceed your expectations!
If you’re seeking representation of the highest caliber and character, Alex is your man.
You were very helpful and patient with us. You make things happen even when others give up.
Alex was tireless in his efforts to help me get the perfect home at an unbelievable price! Great views, great house, great price. I wouldn’t have believed it. I refer him to all my friends.
As we embarked on the biggest investment we will ever make, we were overwhelmed by the choice of neighborhoods, home styles and loan options available to home buyers in The Bay Area. Alex was just what the doctor ordered, he clarified the home buying process, providing guidance and answering our questions every step of the way.First Alex helped us identify and prioritize what we were looking for in our first home. Next, he helped us understand our financing options. Then, with our requirements set, Alex helped us find our dream home, a great investment in the perfect area for our family. Alex ensured we bought at the right price, helping us with negotiations, the closing process and with our move.Thanks Alex for helping our family live the American Dream!!
Alex Schauffert is a professional; he knows the real estate market inside out, upside down and back to front, if he says your house will sell in X number of days for X number of $$$ IT WILL, ours did, listen to him do as he recommends, then sit back, take possession or collect the check. It was the most hassle-free fastest sale we have ever experienced; he delivers on all his promises. His team of assistants and his office staff are the best.We are very satisfied first-time but not last-time clients.
Alex and his staff are wonderful; they answered all our questions, and helped our 1031 exchange go smoothly. We wouldn’t use anyone else. Alex has great insight in the realty market. Buying or selling with Alex is headache-free and he is the only Realtor for us.
He helped me with every small detail. Very knowledgeable, aggressive, honorable man.
With great pleasure I am setting out my experience working with you over the past several years on real estate property deals.Firstly, there were several single-family homes in Vallejo which were purchased, improved, marketed and sold. Also, a multi-unit apartment complex likewise was purchased and improvements were made. Currently a sale is pending. Several condos have been purchased in Benicia; one has been sold and the other one is still successfully being rented. Office and retail complexes were purchased in Benicia and Sacramento and are doing well. Your insight as to what to buy and how much to offer on the way in as well as how to sell and how much to ask for on the way out is well above par, most helpful and added significantly to the profitability of these transactions.
I am a very picky buyer. I’ve had Alex show me dozens of homes and I’m still looking. He is very patient and generous with his time.” Listen to his advice. You’ll hear it on the news months later.
When I was shopping for properties back in 2009 I met Alex just in the nick of time when I wasn't satisfied with my previous two agents. Alex was very knowledgeable, full of integrity and extremely generous with his time being gracious enough to go from property to property with me over a period of months. Alex goes the extra mile I highly recommend.
