Andrew was the perfect agent for us! We were first-time home buyers, and Andrew masterfully took care of us and helped us navigate the chaotic Bay Area housing market. We were able to land our dream home on only our second(!) offer, courtesy of Andrew being incredibly diligent, working with listing agents proactively, and helping us go through various housing reports to make sure we didn't end up making uninformed decisions. A lot of people I know who have searched for a home in this market have written upwards of 10 offers before one was accepted, and we know we probably would have been in a similar situation if not for Andrew's hard work and expertise. Andrew makes you feel like more of a friend than a client. We really felt like we could trust him and that he always had our back. We will definitely be working with him in the future if/when we're ready for our next home, and we wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone searching for a Bay Area realtor :)

Andrew was great in helping us find a property in a short amount of time as we were moving from so-cal to nor-cal and had excellent negotiation skills.

Working with Andrew to purchase our first home was such a great experience. Being that we were new to the process of searching and buying a home, he helped us through each stage with patience and diligence to get us the help and answers we needed, not to mention always having such a positive, easy going and upbeat attitude. He was always prompt in responding to us whenever we had a question and went the extra mile to help source local contractors and resources for us. He's very knowledgeable of Alameda and its unique market which helped us navigate how to succeed in getting our offer accepted. We now get to call Alameda our home forever which is no easy task and we truly thank Andrew for making that happen for us. We highly recommend Andrew to other buyers - especially first-time buyers like us who needed some hand holding!!

Andrew really cares about getting his clients the right home, not just any home. Our home search took over a year. He was very patient and always brought homes to us that were within our budget. When it was time to buy he turned on major hustle, always having unique angles of approch to make sure that we got the house we wanted. We bid on four homes, three of which we got! Unfortunately we had to walk away from two. He always had a bit of comic relief and consolation when things didn't go the way we had hoped. We really built a relationship with him and are very happy with the exceptional experience Andrew brought to our homes search. Update six months later: Andrew continues to be an amazing resource. He still answers texts and calls immediately, and has continued to provide service long after the transaction is complete.

Andrew got me in my dream home in less than 45 days! I was a first time homebuyer and was completely unaware of even the basic order of operations for buying a home. He was an amazing resource - clearly explained the whole process, answered my questions 24/7, and expertly advised the pros and cons of all the listings we viewed. Andrew got my offer accepted (mine wasn't the highest) and escrow closed in 30 days. The beginning of escrow was a nightmare for me as multiple lenders fell through, but he helped me search for a new lender and then took care of all the boring/stressful stuff that went into making sure we closed on time, so all I had to worry about was deciding what type of sofa I wanted. I highly recommend Andrew - he was fantastic to work with and I'm very grateful for all his hard work!
