We are forever grateful to Andy and Associate Ana O’Byrne for their guidance in the sale of our pri

We are forever grateful to Andy and Associate Ana O’Byrne for their guidance in the sale of our primary residence. Their optimism, knowledge, professionalism and reliability, and vision for our property provided us with an experience and outcome that exceeded our expectations. Our plans were to retire, move, and sell our home “sometime” in our near future - but we really didn’t know where to begin. Andy and Ana came with an excellent recommendation; but even so, with our first meeting we felt we were in the right hands. They were so welcoming and always respected our unsure timeline; never pressured us to make decisions. With the information they provided we were able to see our goals come into perspective. We knew our property needed some prep work before listing, and with their ability to envision a desirable home for the Bay Area, we were able to hand those daunting decisions over to them. Using their sense of design and experience working with contractors, they were efficient and stayed within their projected budget. Our property could have been a TV show highlight! They were also very realistic about the real estate market and guided us well as to when the property should be listed, asking price, and all sales details. Andy and Ana emitted trustworthiness from the start. Since we were able to hand our property over to them, we were able to move forward in our new life in “retirement”. We are happy today in no small part for the service and expertise provided by Andy and Ana. We highly recommend them to anyone who needs a realtor for any reason.

It was such an incredible pleasure working with Andy Read and his real estate partner Ana O'Byrne

It was such an incredible pleasure working with Andy Read and his real estate partner Ana O'Byrne. They were professional, prompt and very thorough. We really liked that they provided insight to the larger economic and political climate and gave great advice in light of that. Having worked with several agents in the last decade, we recommend you work with Andy and Ana- they're the real deal and they will not disappoint. They will make a very stressful time as seamless as possible with their expertise and great contacts in the business.

Incredible Professionalism

Andy was amazingly. He handled every step of the process flawlessly and even coordinated upgrades to our house that clearly helped increase the price. I’ve been through a dozen real estate transactions and this was by far the smoothest. I highly recommend Andy for anyone buying or selling a home in the Bay Area.

Andy was amazing to work with

Andy was amazing to work with. During Covid-19, my fiance and I were in the market looking for an investment property and from the very beginning, Andy was reliable, honest, and very knowledgable about the area and current market trends. Though we had some bumps in the road, we felt that Andy really had our best interest at heart. He advocated for us in making sure we got everything we wanted. This being our first time playing the real estate game, we will definitely be coming back to his services in the future! Once you have him on your side, he will not let you down! Thanks Andy!
