How to begin to describe the exceptional service provided by Andrea during my house buying process? Im a first time home buyer and from the very beginning I noticed Andreas reliability, dependability and efficiency. Andrea was always willing and able to answer all of my questions and concerns- which were plenty. In all honestly, I felt Andreas hand guiding me through the process and made me feel comfortable having her by my side. I must mention that she was working as a dual agent for both the seller and myself which I appreciated she clearly disclosing. The way in which Andrea managed

We chose Andrea because we needed both a realtor and a designer. She EXCEEDED our expectations!!! First of all, you never have to guess what she is thinking. I loved this because it was not about sweet talking us into buying something, but providing facts. We met other realtors that agreed with us in everything, but having somebody who would tell us the truth and be very upfront about the process made us feel confident that we made the right decision. On top of that she has this ability to walk into a house and tell you what it will look like IN DETAIL! It was hard for me to see what she saw, and

We purchased our first home with Andrea in 2015. The process was so easy and fast that we decided to use her for the sale of the same home 4 years later. She did such a great job staging the home, taking pictures and being very detailed of the description of the home that we got an offer $25k above asking price in less than 24 hours of Andrea listing the home. She was so efficient in having everything processed quickly and smoothly all over again. The buyers of our home were super happy and so were we. We sold our home because we decided to move to Florida and Andrea although she would of preferred

Where do I begin? Andrea was recommended to us by a close friend and we are glad they did. This was me and my husband first home and Andrea made every step a dream. We have heard many stories of how the process of buying a house can be so miserable. Not us we had not one obstacle and have not been miserable once just super nervous. Andrea was on top of everything and did not let anything stress us.
She listened to what we wanted and got to know us. This was important because it allowed her to understand what we wanted and only showed us houses that match our needs. She was responsive at any time

I met Andrea when she sold a home in my mom's neighborhood and asked for her card. When we decided to sell my mothers house we contacted her and it was the best decision we ever made. She is extremely professional, very knowledgeable and has an amazing personality. She helped with everything even staging! She responded to every text, email and call quickly. The house sold in record time! It went on the market and within 2 days we had an offer at full asking price and closed 22 days later. She made the sale of the house easy and stress free. She also found her the perfect Condo. She was with us
