Andrea and her team came highly recommended from a friend in the neighborhood, who insisted we reach out to her when we were considering selling our condo. Our family was growing (1 toddler+1 on the way) and we quickly outgrew our small condo. With an unpredictable market due to COVID we were nervous to sell, but Andrea's expertise helped us take the next step to list it. We were not in SF at the time, and her hands on approach made the process seamless. She helped with staging, repairs and connected us to all the right people to get things in motion. Ultimately we got the condo on the market in 2 weeks! Her communication skills throughout the whole selling process were impeccable. She kept us in the loop about all details and advised us on matters we were not knowledgeable about. She made it a point to be available to help with any questions or doubts along the way. After the sale we thought we would be able to wait 6 months to buy a new place and were living with family. However, a month after selling we found out my husband would need to be back in the office in 2 months. This is also right around the time our 2nd baby was due! We figured we would need to rent, but didn't want to give up on buying if we found the right place. We set up a weekend of showings with Andrea and found a perfect new home for our family in the neighborhood we have called home for 10 years. We thought it was a "long shot," but Andrea helped make this happen in more ways than I can even explain! She was a true professional from working with our lenders, communicating with other agents and advising us along the way. We always felt comfortable asking questions, discussing options and learned so much from her expertise. Overall, there are some people who just shine at what they do and that is Andrea. We could not be happier and more impressed with Andrea's ability to help us sell and buy a new place in SF in under 2 months in a crazy market. We're forever grateful to the WHSF team.

Andrea was essential in helping me finalize my purchase of a Below Market Rate condo in San Francisco. She was extremely responsive and patient in answering all the questions about the process and paperwork. Thank you Andrea!!

Knowledgable, honest, efficient, and accessible -- that's Andrea Swetland. I am pleased to offer her my highest recommendation.

Andrea helped my husband and me buy our first home in San Francisco. We've worked with other real estate agents before, and our experience tell us that Andrea is of the highest caliber. Andrea is super responsive and made us feel well taken care of, even though our price range is quite modest for SF. She made our home buying journey in an extremely competitive market super easy. Our offer was accepted within a day of submitting. Our closing was very smooth thanks to Andrea taking the lead facilitating conversation between lender, title company, seller and all of that. I recommend Andrea to all my friends who are thinking of buying in SF.

We were very fortunate to come across Andrea during our search as first time home buyers. From a knowledge perspective, she was a fantastic reference for all of the nuances of the real estate industry and home buying process, and we really leaned on her experience working within the SF Bay Area market as it's so unique. Andrea made sure to bring all relevant factors (both good and bad) to our attention for each prospective property, and we really felt that she had our best interests in mind. She's got a great feel for negotiations and helped us close our first offer, even below asking! I can't imagine finding a better agent than Andrea, and I'm not sure we'd be in our new house right now without her. Andrea's technical experience and background will help you find your next home seamlessly, but why we'd recommend her to any friend or family member is that she was also a real joy to work with!

We were first time home buyers with a lot of questions and anxiety around this overwhelming milestone. Andrea was patient and caring with us throughout this process. With her attention to detail and true understanding of our needs and worries - sometimes better than we ourselves could even anticipate, she went above and beyond being an agent to us. She has become like a family member whom we can trust and depend upon. In buying our home, which happened in one of the most challenging times for real estate with an ongoing pandemic and soaring home values, she was very shrewd in cutting a deal and getting us what we wanted. No doubt, we will be working with her in the future and strongly recommend her to any prospective buyer.

Our realtor was Cassie and she was amazing to work with. As soon as we expressed interest in the home buying process, Cassie sat down with us to walk through the stages of the search, financing, and purchase process as well as set a strategy for how to find the best properties in our range. She set us up with numerous financing companies to talk through options and guided us through all the steps of getting pre-approved. Although our search was long, Cassie and Andrea remained committed and moved at our pace. We made a few offers before our eventual purchase and the information provided by the team at Welcome Home SF was super helpful to crafting competitive offers. For the house we eventually bought, Cassie and Andrea were hands-on through the entire offer and close process. Because we were planning a fast-track kitchen remodel, Cassie even arranged with the listing agent frequent access during the close process (before we had the keys) for walking the site with potential contractors. That saved us time and money: we closed on a Friday afternoon and by Monday morning we already had permits in-hand and demolition had started. Andrea even drove the keys to us herself that Friday afternoon - en route to a personal engagement - to save us a trip to the office to collect them. In summary, I can't think of a better team to have on your side than Cassie, Andrea, and the Welcome Home SF staff if you're looking to navigate the San Francisco real estate market!

Andrea was recommended to me by my housing advisor, and I am forever grateful to have found her! I was a first-time homebuyer going through the Below Market Rate program in SF and was going in pretty much blind. Andrea helped me understand and go through the mountains of paperwork, answered every single question I had (and there were many), and was incredibly responsive. This was also during the very early days of COVID, and Andrea worked hard to get everything finalized so I could move in ASAP. I truly felt like she had my best interests at heart and wanted to make sure I felt comfortable along every step of the way. I envy people who have real estate-savvy friends, family or partners to guide them through the home buying process. Since I don't, I relied heavily on professionals to help, and trust me when I say Andrea is as professional as they come, and also a delight to work with. I highly recommend her to anyone in the market. Thank you, Andrea!

Very thoughtful Thinks before speaking resulting in more reliable honest advice. No pushy used car salesperson stereotypical real estate agent drama I was afraid of. Professional photos and listing details Knew what questions to ask to get the job done plus I was very impressed when she was able to figure out permits I did not know about. Andrea has what it takes to represent you in an honest professional manner, plus since she works with her family it’s truly a team experience

In this difficult Covid market, she managed the process so well. This was the first time we had sold a house in the States and she was extremely patient with us and fully explained all the process and answered all our naive questions. Andrea researched and established the price that was right for the market and she rapidly got traffic to our house and lead a successful negotiation to ensure that the process could complete quickly and efficiently. Would also complement her on their advice on de-cluttering and adding those touches to make our house show as best as it could. Would recommend Andrea strongly to act as an agent in the North Bay. Thanks for all your support.
