About Us
First Generation Investments, LLC. is a family-owned and operated property investment company with a goal to maximize long term value given finite resources. Limited resources should not be considered a shortcoming, but rather a catalyst for innovative thinking. As a team of creative professionals, we carefully evaluate each project in order to understand the intricacies, and over the years we have come to respect that each property has its own unique fingerprint requiring individual attention.
We are a boutique real estate services provider based in Seattle, Washington. We personally invest and manage properties throughout the continental United States, and also help others who are interested in real estate or seek general services. First Generation Investments holdings date back to 1986. Over the last thirty years, we have gained experience in financing, modeling and analysis, construction management, project management, property management, marketing, negotiating, and transaction management.
If you are simply looking for assistance with buy/sell a property or looking for a real estate investment advisor/partner to help you develop your ideas into tangible products, consider contacting us. With years of experience in projects small and large, we have the expertise, connections, and the desire to help you succeed.

Exceptional people produce extraordinary results.

Alvin has been instilled with core real estate values since childhood, learning early on about value and how to manage projects. Growing up he worked closely with his family learning from the perspective of an owner, which provided rich learning experiences as he's been involved with acquisitions, sales, exchanges, leasing, dealing with renters and buyers/sellers, marketing, and developing/executing plans of optimizing the continual management of investment properties. Knowing real estate would always be a part of his life, Alvin obtained his Broker License early in his career.
