 Randy Fischer began his real estate career in 1982, serving the Alexandria area. In 1984, he co-founded Counselor Realty, Inc. in Alexandria and has become one of the most prolific agents in the area. To date, he has completed more than 1500 closed unit sales worth over $200,000,000.00.

According to Randy, his success springs from his understanding of the values, needs, and issues the people of Alexandria and the surrounding communities-an understanding gained while growing up on his family's dairy farm, serving his country in Marines, raising a family and owning a local business. He is an agent with strong roots in his community and a deep commitment to his clients serving them with integrity, experience, and enthusiasm.

LakeshoreDreams.com had the opportunity to speak with Randy and learn a little more about himself and his beloved Alexandria.

LD:  How did you first get into the real estate industry?

Fischer:  Easy. A man asked me if I wanted to sell real estate and I said yes.

LD:  What do you feel is the biggest challenge of your job?

Fischer: I definitely find keeping up communication very difficult. I'm on the phone with clients and developers almost non stop. To give you an idea, I run through 5,000 minutes a month on my cell phone. That's not even counting the calls that I get at the office. It's definitely the trickiest part of my job, but a necessary one.

LD: When you're not working. What do you like to do to unwind?

Fischer: I like to hunt, mainly ducks, geese, and deer. I own some land around here and I like to hunt on that whenever I get the chance.

LD: What do you like most about working in Douglas County?

Fischer: What I like most about Douglas County, Alexandria in particular, is the fact that there is no traffic. I can drive 5 minutes in any direction and be out in the countryside. I'm completely out of the city, surrounded by lakes, trees, and farms. I used to live out in Orange County, CA and by far there is no comparison. Here it is quiet and peaceful and the people are very friendly here.

LD: Are there any new projects being planned in your area?

Fischer: There is always something new being planned or built out there. Residential, commercial, you name it. Since '82 the market hasn't been stagnant.  The market here is strong, always growing and providing new jobs and new opportunities. It was like this when I started in '82 and quite honestly it has helped me make a very good living for myself.
