About
Alex Cardenas built Summit Haus on 21 years in the field — not behind a desk.
21 years in real estate, 11 building projects hands-on. Summit Haus sources deals and family-office capital in parallel — faster from opportunity to close.
Alex has spent over two decades in real estate, including eleven years leading development and project execution on the ground. That operating experience is what separates Summit Haus Capital from a typical brokerage: every deal presented to investors has been evaluated by someone who has actually built, renovated, and repositioned property at scale.
Today Summit Haus runs two parallel workstreams — sourcing deals directly from distressed owners and agents, and building relationships with the family offices and private investors who fund them. The result is a tighter, faster path from opportunity to closed transaction.

FAQ
Frequently Asked
We focus on off-market multifamily buildings, single-family and small-portfolio homes, and land parcels suited to ground-up or value-add development, typically sourced directly from distressed owners and trusted agent relationships.
Each vetted opportunity is matched against investor criteria — check size, hold period, and risk profile — before it's presented, so family offices only see deals relevant to their mandate.
Deal sizes generally range from $1M to $5M, though this scales depending on the specific opportunity and investor appetite.
Every opportunity is reviewed against 21 years of on-the-ground development and acquisition experience, including site-level diligence before it's shared with any investor.
