James Andors was excellent! As a first time home buyer I was not sure what to expect and what the procedures were but James and his team went above and beyond to get everything we asked for. Super easy to work with and worked around our schedule to make things work. I would recommend him to all my family and friends no doubt. Thank you so much James!
James is a consummate pro when it comes to the local real estate market. He assisted us with both the purchase of a new home, and the sale of our old home. In both instances his research made the difference, as he correctly assessed what he thought would be a reasonable dollar value for both transactions. On the purchase of our new home, he used his professional connections to get us an advance showing of the home so that we were effectively the first offer received. And because his initial figures were accurate, there was little negotiation before we came to agreement. On the sale of our old home, he correctly advised us on the reasonable improvements that needed to be made, and not only recommended the contractors to do the work, but worked with them to ensure access to the house so that we didn't have to take time off of work. All improvements were completed timely, and - again, having done his research - he correctly arrived at a reasonable sales price for our home which generated substantial interest even before the home was listed! His outreach efforts were top-notch, as he organized a neighborhood open house followed by a public open house, and his efforts also resulted in 13 private showings over the course of 3 days. Within 3 days of listing, we had 3 full-price offers, all with escalation clauses, resulting in more money in our pocket upon sale. In short, James's performance was superb in every aspect of the deal - the research he put in to his work, the math, his recommendations for improvements and contractors, the trouble he went to to be personally present for meetings or otherwise minimize the amount of time we had to take off of work, maximizing our profit, and minimizing our transition time to the extent that between the purchase of our new home and the sale of our old, we didn't even have to pay a single month of double-mortgage. He made both buying a home and selling a home easy.
If you are searching for a house in Arlington, stop what you are doing right now and contact James! Seriously, you won't be sorry. My wife and I were looking to purchase our first home and happened to meet James and his dad Louis after they contacted us when we were requesting information for a house on Zillow. We were reluctant to sign an exclusive agreement with any agent, but we got such a great impression from James that we decided to give him a shot. And we were so glad we did! James grew up in Arlington. He knows the neighborhoods and the houses. While his chief expertise is Aurora Highlands/Hills (22202) he also knows a ton about the Ballston (Bluemont/Westover/Cherrydale) and Falls Church areas. And that knowledge paid off big time - he was able to get us into a house and negotiate with the owners for us pre-market. As a result, we are now proud owners of our first house (purchased without the stress of competing with other offers)! Throughout the process, James was professional, patient and responsive. It felt like he was working for us all the time as we would often get late evening emails or texts with leads. Anytime we were interested in a house, he had all the information and got us a quick appointment. And as we walked through, he was able to give suggestions on any upgrades or repairs we might have been interested in. We can't thank him enough for his hard work and dedication. I highly recommend you contact James today to help you find your perfect house!
James was responsive, knowledgeable and friendly. He was easy to work with and enthusiastic about finding our family the right home. We searched for many months before settling on a new home and James was helpful throughout the entire process. Highly recommend!
James helped us purchase our first home, and we wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor. He was recommended to us by family members, and now we know why! James and his entire team at Andors Real Estate Group were absolutely phenomenal to work with. James took the time to thoroughly answer every question we had, kept us informed at every step of the process, and was always available to show us homes on short notice. His communication skills are excellent, and he answered all of our emails, phone calls, and texts so quickly! James is very knowledgeable, and helped us craft a great offer on our dream home, which we ended up getting for much less than the asking price. Every person he recommended that we use -- including the home inspector, title company, lending company, and even the locksmith -- did an excellent job. Overall, James and his team went above and beyond our expectations. If you're looking for a realtor, he's the one!
James is great to work with. He is transparent throughout every step of the home-buying process, very personable, and highly knowledgeable of the Northern VA and DC area! His timeliness and negotiation skills were crucial for my home purchase.
The first thing you'll notice about James is that he is a young guy. However, don't let this fool you as he has nearly 20+ years of experience in the field supporting him and you'll notice this as soon as you start working with him. James was responsive, honest and candid in helping us choose our home here in Alexandria. James worked with us while we were living in RI which certainly made his job harder but he didn't miss a beat. I cannot think of a better and more trustworthy realtor that you can work with in NVA and we certainly had many options. James and the Andors realty group are the best in the area for a reason... they deliver.
