Russ Lyon SIR Welcomes Dominique Alexander

Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty is dedicated to providing the highest service to today’s home buyers and sellers. This tradition continues with the recent addition of Global Real Estate Advisor Dominique Alexander to our Pinnacle Peak Office.

Growing up amid the architecture, international influence, and unmistakable glamour of Miami Beach, Dominique Alexander developed an early appreciation for exceptional design, distinctive properties, and the art of living well. That perspective ultimately led him to New York City and the Fashion Institute of Technology, where he refined his creative vision and established the foundation for a career defined by design, luxury, and an exacting attention to detail.

For nearly two decades, Dominique has designed luxury residences across Scottsdale, New York, Miami, Washington, D.C., San Francisco, Park City, and the Caribbean. As a member of the American Society of Interior Design, his work has centered on creating sophisticated environments that balance architecture, materiality, function, and a strong sense of place. His experience within the luxury design world, including collaborations with internationally recognized names such as Fendi Casa, has given him a perspective on residential real estate that is distinctly his own.

Today, as a Luxury Real Estate Specialist with Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty, Dominique brings together two disciplines that rarely exist at this level within a single advisor: luxury real estate and professional interior design.

For sellers, that intersection can be transformative. Dominique understands how design influences perceived value, how presentation shapes a buyer’s emotional response, and how thoughtful improvements can materially change the way a property competes in the marketplace. He approaches every listing through the combined lenses of design, valuation, positioning, and marketing—identifying where to invest, where restraint is more strategic, and how to create a compelling visual narrative around a home.

His approach to marketing is equally considered. Dominique believes an exceptional property should never be marketed generically. From staging and creative direction to photography, film, digital presentation, and the broader story surrounding a residence, he is deeply involved in shaping how his listings are introduced to the market. Each property is treated as an individual luxury product, with a strategy designed to distinguish it, create desire, and reach the right audience.

For buyers, Dominique offers an equally uncommon advantage. Years spent designing and transforming residences allow him to see beyond what is immediately visible. He can evaluate scale, proportion, finishes, renovation opportunities, and architectural potential while helping clients distinguish cosmetic shortcomings from more meaningful considerations. Whether acquiring a turnkey residence or a property with unrealized potential, his clients benefit from an advisor who understands both what a home is worth today and what thoughtful design can make possible tomorrow.

Dominique’s extensive travel and work across diverse luxury markets have also shaped his understanding that exceptional real estate is ultimately about lifestyle. A home is more than architecture, finishes, or an address; it is an expression of individuality and the way someone chooses to live. His role is to understand that vision, protect his clients’ interests, and guide them with discretion, precision, creativity, and uncompromising service.

Scottsdale has become both Dominique’s home and the natural intersection of his passions for design, real estate, wellness, and the outdoors. A dedicated fitness competitor, he brings the same discipline and focus to his personal pursuits that define his professional life. Away from real estate, weekends are often spent on the water, whether boating or racing jet skis, as well as traveling and enjoying time with his beloved dog.

Through the distinguished heritage and global reach of Sotheby’s International Realty, Dominique pairs highly personalized representation with an international platform. His clients gain more than a real estate advisor: they gain a design professional, marketer, strategist, and advocate with a sophisticated understanding of how exceptional properties are created, valued, presented, and sold.

For Dominique, luxury is not simply a price point. It is a standard of service, a level of discernment, and an experience that should feel exceptional from beginning to end.

Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty is dedicated to providing the highest service to today’s home buyers and sellers. This tradition continues with the recent addition of Global Real Estate Advisor Lonna Barrett to our West Valley Office.

Growing up in Downtown Phoenix in a hardworking, blue-collar family, Lonna experienced firsthand the significance of homeownership.
