LISTING AGENT

Compass

Alexander Koziakov is a Boston-based real estate agent specializing in residential and commercial sales, leasing, investment properties, and property management throughout Greater Boston. Alexander Koziakov is a Boston-based real estate agent with Compass and team leader of the Western Atlantic Group, specializing in residential sales, investment properties, leasing, and commercial real estate throughout Boston and the Greater Boston metropolitan area. Since entering the real estate industry in 2011, Alexander has built a full-service platform that goes beyond traditional brokerage services. In addition to sales and leasing, he is the owner of a property management company overseeing nearly 100 residential units across the region, providing clients with practical insight into ownership, property operations, cash flow, and long-term asset performance. Alexander works with a wide range of clients — from first-time homebuyers and relocation clients to experienced investors and developers — advising on acquisitions, dispositions, portfolio growth, and 1031 exchange strategies. His experience spans both residential and commercial transactions, including multifamily properties, mixed-use buildings, and leasing representation for landlords and tenants. For sellers, Alexander combines data-driven pricing, professional staging, targeted digital marketing, and strong negotiation to maximize listing performance and achieve top-market results. Buyers benefit from access to off-market opportunities, investment analysis, and clear financial projections so they can make confident decisions aligned with their long-term goals. Prior to forming the Western Atlantic Group, Alexander managed the rental division of a major brokerage, gaining hands-on experience in leasing operations, tenant placement, and property performance. Today his team services Boston proper and surrounding metropolitan communities, including but not limited to Brookline, Cambridge, Newton, Watertown, Waltham, Quincy, Natick, Framingham, Ashland, Acton, Wellesley, Weston, Sherborn, Dover, Needham, and Dedham. Alexander maintains referral partnerships throughout New England and across the United States, allowing him to assist clients relocating into or out of Massachusetts. Fluent in Russian and deeply familiar with the local market, Alexander brings a practical and transparent approach to every transaction. Outside of real estate he enjoys travel, automotive projects, and spending time with his dog, parakeet, and tropical fish.
