Alex Fraioli is a leading real estate broker and investor based in Newport, Rhode Island, and has ranked among the top producers in Newport County for more than a decade. Known for sharp market insight, creative dealmaking, and strong negotiation skills, he represents everything from historic Newport estates and coastal homes to hotels, commercial assets, and income-producing properties.

Working alongside his wife and business partner, Ecaterina, Alex leads a highly motivated, solutions-driven team that clients turn to for both strategy and sanity, blending local expertise with a refreshingly low-pressure, down-to-earth style. In addition to brokerage, he has personally acquired, renovated, and managed numerous income-producing properties throughout Rhode Island, giving their clients a practical owner’s perspective on construction, value-add renovations, and long-term potential.

They have successfully represented buyers and sellers in hotel and hospitality transactions, a niche that demands deep local knowledge, discretion, and comfort with complex commercial deals. Clients often describe them as hilarious, easy to work with, and highly creative when it counts, keeping even serious transactions from feeling stiff or stuffy.

Alex studied at Pace University in Manhattan and developed an early appreciation for travel and architecture after visiting Italy as a young boy. He and Ecaterina met in Newport in their twenties and have called the city home for the past decade, spending as much time as they can traveling through Europe and bringing that broader perspective back to their life and business along the Rhode Island coastline.

Longtime Newport residents, they have built a strong reputation in the community and maintain an extensive network across real estate, hospitality, and investment circles, helping clients navigate one of the Northeast’s most desirable coastal markets while actually enjoying the process
