ALEXANDRA N. GIORDANELLA (“Alex”) - ASSOCIATE ATTORNEY

Originally from South Florida, Alex relocated to North Carolina to attend Elon University, where she earned both her undergraduate degree and her Juris Doctor from Elon University School of Law. During law school, Alex interned with organizations such as Legal Aid and family law firms, gaining exposure to a variety of legal practice areas and deepening her understanding of client advocacy.

Alex began her legal career at a boutique firm in the Outer Banks, where she spent some time in Estate Planning. However, with the onset of COVID-19 and the resulting real estate boom, Alex quickly pivoted to meet the high demand for closings. Discovering, an affinity to the practice area of Property Law, her practice has focused exclusively on residential real estate — particularly vacation rentals and investment properties.

Alex spent several years enjoying life in the Outer Banks with her husband Leo, and their dogs, but we recently made the move to Wendell to be closer to community, culture, and a change of scenery and pace. In her current associate attorney position at Triangle Property Law, Alex continues to serve as an experienced guide in the real estate process, whether it’s guiding first-time homebuyers or working with seasoned investors, she really enjoys demystifying the process and making real estate approachable.

Outside of work, Alex spends her time exploring walking trails with her dogs Lucy, Winnie & Vinny; pottery and supporting my husband’s in growing our local pizza truck business, Nino's Pizza, based out of Wendell.
