Andrea Barberi

Andrea has been our realtor for years, and after taking a break from our home search, we picked things back up with her as if no time had passed. From the very beginning, she made an incredibly stressful and emotional process feel manageable, thoughtful, and even memorable. She guided us through complex bids, multiple negotiation rounds, and detailed inspection reports with such care and expertise. She went above and beyond by calling supporting vendors — including pest control, roofing, and various contractors — to better understand the miscellaneous findings and help us make informed decisions. Her ability to talk through strategy while bringing calmness to an anxiety-filled process was invaluable. One of Andrea’s greatest strengths is her ability to prepare incredibly thoughtful and accurate comp analyses to support offer pricing. In two separate rounds, her calculations came in exactly at the final selling price, which speaks volumes about her market knowledge and instincts. She truly understands her clients’ needs, sometimes even better than they do. During home walkthroughs, she pointed out important details, potential concerns, and the little things to love that we may have otherwise missed. Andrea is the reason we got our home. Her consistency, expertise, patience, and genuine care made all the difference. While we are sad to no longer have her as our realtor, we are so grateful to have gained a lifelong friend. We cannot recommend her highly enough.

Andrea Barberi is truly exceptional. This was our second time working with Andrea — she sold our Berkeley home in 2022 — and there was never a question that we would work with her again when buying in the Berkeley Hills. Andrea guided and supported us through every step of the process, including navigating a challenging seller and a complicated, slow market. She was patient, thoughtful, and incredibly steady. She took us on multiple house tours so we could feel fully comfortable and confident in our decision, and she always kept us excited and positive about the home, even when the process got stressful. What makes Andrea so special is her combination of calm kindness and serious skill. She is mellow, warm, and easy to be around — but behind the scenes, she is absolutely a baller when it comes to defending and advocating for her clients. She stood up for us, helped us negotiate a great deal, and made sure we felt protected throughout the purchase. Buying with Andrea was every bit as excellent as selling with her. We are so grateful for her guidance, patience, and expertise, and we would recommend her without hesitation.

As a first-time homebuyer, I was completely new to the process, and Andrea was my very first real estate agent. She was incredibly informative, patient, and always willing to answer my questions. The process moved quickly since I found the place sooner than expected, but she never made me feel rushed and took the time to explain everything clearly. I’m very grateful for her patience and her willingness to be extra informative—especially for someone new to buying a home. I truly appreciated working with her.

Andrea is prepared, punctual and very responsive. She was clear and very helpful throughout our home buying experience. Andrea went out of the way to help us on numerous occasions. We were lucky to have her represent us! Thanks Andrea

We worked with Andrea on our first time home purchase to find a house that would accommodate our growing family. Andrea was attentive to our specific likes/needs and readily developed a strong sense of our taste and desired home attributes. When she recommended we see a specific property or that we skip another, her assessments were spot on. In terms of pricing and strategy, we benefited from her specific knowledge of our target neighborhoods (Crocker Highlands, Rockridge, Piedmont) and prior experiences with specific seller agents/teams. We also appreciated her patience; we were not pushed in the bidding process, but rather provided with realistic expectations. Would definitely recommend especially to first time buyers looking for a thought partner and guide.

Andrea persevered through a long journey with us as first time homebuyers with a lot of questions and a lot of learning to do. She listened to our goals and hopes for our first home and helped us find the best fit. We learned so much along the way and are so appreciative of her help during this process. Thank you Andrea!
