About Our Founder
_________________
Charles Kane founded Alphaeus Group in Raleigh, NC to focus exclusively on land brokerage — guiding owners through transactions with insight, zoning knowledge, and builder-aligned representation. Alphaeus Group was created to elevate landowners, not just list their property, and to approach each deal with the respect and long-term thinking it deserves.
Outside of brokerage, Charles is drawn to projects that support the long-term well-being of his home state, including creative and civic efforts that reflect a similar commitment to legacy and transformation.
Behind Our Name
_________________
The name Alphaeus appears in early Biblical scripture, tied to figures who supported transformational work — but its roots run even deeper. Derived from ancient Greek and Hebrew, Alphaeus carries the meaning “to change,” “to succeed,” or “to follow after.” That idea of meaningful transition is what drew founder Charles Kane to the name.
Alphaeus Group was built to guide landowners and developers through moments of change — where decisions shape futures and land becomes legacy. Though often misspelled as Alpheus (a name from Greek mythology meaning river or flowing water), Alphaeus Group stands for deliberate progress, not passive movement. That distinction defines what we do.
