Alec Hernandez
I was supposed to become a surgeon. At least, that was the family plan.
Following in my older sister’s footsteps, I was accepted into one of San Antonio’s most competitive health-careers high schools—a place built for students getting an early start in medicine. I graduated with a 4.0 and narrowly missed valedictorian to a longtime classmate who is now on track to become a Harvard-trained neurosurgeon. She earned the final academic crown, but we traded wins plenty of times along the way. That was my measuring stick.
But medicine never had my heart. Real estate did.
It turns out I still spend my days diagnosing problems, studying numbers, and helping people make high-stakes decisions—I simply traded scrubs for contracts.
I earned my real estate license at 18 and have now spent eight years mastering the strategy, financing, negotiation, and occasional controlled chaos behind buying and selling real estate. Intelligence certainly helps in this business, but I’ve never believed being the smartest person in the room is the secret. My real advantage is conviction: I prepare thoroughly, think creatively, and care enough to keep working long after the average person would have settled for “good enough.”
Before expanding into Houston, I spent four years as the leading agent on The Miramont Group’s original powerhouse San Antonio team. My production, leadership, and ability to consistently create solutions earned the attention of Zillow and Miramont’s leadership, ultimately leading to my current role as Team Lead for The Miramont Group’s Houston operation.
The Miramont Group is consistently recognized among Zillow’s leading teams in Texas and has earned numerous awards through our national brokerage. Our San Antonio operation has been recognized as a NAHREP Top 10 finalist every year since 2022, along with National Top 50 and Platinum Top 50 honors.
One of the most valuable advantages I bring my clients is our relationship with Zillow as a Preferred Partner. This distinction is earned—it cannot simply be purchased with a larger advertising budget. Zillow is highly selective about the professionals and teams it chooses to represent its brand, evaluating performance, responsiveness, customer experience, and the ability to successfully guide consumers through the process.
That partnership provides my clients access to an ecosystem of advanced technology, enhanced marketing opportunities, integrated financing resources, and exclusive Zillow programs designed to create a more competitive and seamless experience. It’s a serious edge in a market where information, presentation, speed, and strategy matter.
My specialty is seeing the angles other people miss. I have an extensive background in mortgage financing and understand how loan programs, interest rates, seller concessions, appraisals, and creative deal structures work together. Whether I’m finding a way to make the numbers fit, protecting a seller’s bottom line, or negotiating through an obstacle that threatens the transaction, I’m known for being thorough, resourceful, and just crafty enough to keep everyone else on their toes.
I’m also a homeowner myself, having purchased my first home at 22. That experience matters because I know firsthand what I’m asking my clients to do. Real estate isn’t just paperwork, percentages, and closing-day photos—it’s your money, your stability, and often one of the most important decisions of your life. I never lose sight of what it feels like to sit on your side of the table.
My clients can expect sharp strategy, honest communication, financial expertise, creative problem-solving, and a personality that makes the process considerably less intimidating. I take the responsibility seriously, even if I don’t always take myself too seriously.
If you want a real estate professional with proven leadership, eight years of experience, a mind sharpened alongside a future Harvard-trained neurosurgeon, and the conviction to outwork the problem, I’d be honored to help you make your next move.
