Growing up in Fayetteville, Alex McFadyen says real estate was a frequent topic of conversation around the dining room table. He has an uncle who is a seasoned real estate broker specializing in residential properties, and another uncle who works on the commercial side.
“I was always interested in real estate,” Alex says, “and I wanted to follow in my family’s footsteps.”
To prepare, Alex studied business entrepreneurship and communications at the University of North Carolina in Wilmington. During college, he got his feet wet working in property management and vacation rentals. In his senior year, he completed real estate school and went on to pass his state and national exams to become an agent.
He is now affiliated with Coldwell Banker Advantage in his hometown. The office has been named the #1 Coldwell Banker office in North America for several consecutive years.
Alex is committed to guiding home buyers with what is likely the most important investment of their lives – and also assisting home sellers, so they can move on to the next chapter in their lives.
“What I enjoy most about real estate,” he says, “are the people I meet. Everyone has their own story, and each person is unique.”
With each client, his goal is to provide exceptional knowledge, service and follow-up. He describes himself as “motivated, direct, responsive, reliable and productive.”
Alex also believes in being active in his community. A cause close to his heart is fund-raising for primary pulmonary heart disease, which took his mom’s life in 1998.
When not working, Alex enjoys playing golf, spending time with friends and watching sports.

Mr McFadyen was truly exceptional from the first time we met him thru the entire listing and closing process! He and his wife met us at our home and walked thru our condo with us as we pointed out some of the features of our home. Both were extremely attentive and verbalized how nice our home looked. They both gave us suggestions as to how we might improve and prepare for the showing of the condo to potential customers. Their insight demonstrated experience and local knowledge of the Fayetteville clientele. This was borne out by the unit selling on the first day of showing! We are VERY pleased and happy with our choice of realtor!!!!

Alex knows what he is doing. He has helped me buy and sell many homes since 2020. He goes above and beyond what any realtor would do to get the job done. He knows the value of property and has always been spot on when it comes to what a property will appraise for. He thoroughly reviews all documents, including home inspection reports, to help determine what, if anything, needs to be done. I won’t use anyone else when it’s time to buy or sell a home.

It was a pleasure working with Alex on the sale of our mother's home. We had unexpected circumstances when she died right as we had received an offer on the home. Alex helped guide us through the process of now selling the home as heirs and handled inspections, repairs, and legal paperwork with clear communication and transparency. We were able to complete the sale of the home with minimal delays due to his hard work. I would highly recommend Alex!

I have lived in Fayetteville for the past 30 years and have loved each area of the county that I have resided. When we decided to move to the Haymount area we purchased a home that Alex was selling. That was my first encounter with him as a realtor! From there he helped me find a home to purchase for my daughter and then a home in Haymount for me! Patience with my husband and me as we scoped out houses that we loved and fit our budget was one of his greatest attributes. If you want someone who will stick with it, who knows the market, who is savvy with decisions, then Alex McFadyen is your guy. If I ever decide to move again, you can bet that Alex will be my first call!

Alex is THE agent! I can’t thank him enough for everything he’s done. I’ve bought 2 houses and sold 1 with his help and can honestly say he’s the best agent I’ve ever worked with.

If you’re interested in buying a house in his area, you want him on your team.

I am not so sure I would recommend Alex as a realtor and here is why. I felt he could do better with his communication skills with the clients especially me as a seller.Whenever, he would phone me, he never left a message, and I had to constantly call him back and then it also went to voice mail.I only had one offer on my property{not his fault] though.This was my first experience selling a home, it was rough I would say.,I was told the WRONG thing by alot of people ie. the realtor will find you a moving company, I did all that, the realtor will handle and call people to do repairs, I did that too. Probably was the right thing since I am not so sure he would know who to call to get things moving .His helper, Jennifer, actually briefed me more than he did on important things, ie the lawyers role,the how the closing works etc.,Alot of times it was frustrating to try to track him down, when his reply to me "well, I knew you would always call me back."Just glad the house sold. Thanks, M.Caron
