Our Story
The Americavest Story: Built on Dreams, Hard Work, and Generations of Dedication
Americavest’s story begins decades ago, rooted in the dreams and resilience of a Greek immigrant who arrived in America with little more than hope and an unrelenting work ethic. Alex Pappas, Americavest’s founder, draws inspiration from his father, a man who started his journey washing dishes in a bustling New York City restaurant.
Through determination and sacrifice, Alex’s father, Alex Pappas Sr., saved enough to open a small family-run diner in East New York, Queens. The restaurant became more than a livelihood—it was a symbol of the American Dream. But as with all dreams, the road was not without its challenges. After a particularly harsh winter in the 1970’s that strained the family business, the Pappas family decided to move to South Florida, seeking brighter opportunities and a new chapter.
A Family Business and a Young Visionary
In the sunny suburbs of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Alex’s parents, Alex Sr. and Margaret, opened a modest real estate company, named Olympia Properties. The shift from food to real estate was a bold move, but one driven by a deep understanding of the value of hard work and community. Alex, their eldest, grew up immersed in the business.
As a teenager, Alex spent countless hours in the office answering phones, scheduling showings, organizing and learning the nuances of real estate business. This early exposure ignited his passion for the industry and taught him the importance of building relationships, listening to people’s needs, and finding solutions that benefit everyone involved.
A Global Career and a Vision for the Future
Alex’s career in commercial real estate took him around the world, where he honed his expertise in investment advisory, valuation, property development, and large-scale projects. Despite his global success, Alex never forgot the lessons he learned in his parents’ office or the values instilled by his family.
In founding Americavest, Alex combined his global experience with his roots in local, relationship-driven real estate. Today, Americavest Land acquires land nationwide for single-family home and townhome developments. The company specializes in identifying valuable properties and working directly with landowners to acquire their properties.
