Ratings & Reviews

Andrew was a fantastic agent. He knew the East Bay, and especially Alameda very well. He was extremely responsive, whether we messaged him early in the morning, or late in the evening, any day of the week. Most importantly, after some time, my wife and I realized that we could really trust Andrew, and to trust his judgement, knowledge, intelligence, and negotiation skills. I think some agents may be interested in making a bunch of money quickly, in a way that hurts their clients. Andrew realizes that buying a house is a major life decision, which can be difficult and stressful. He applied all of his knowledge, experience, and friendliness to solving our problems, advocating on our behalf, and trying to create a great living situation for us. We would definitely want to work again with Andrew in the future, and we would highly recommend him to our friends and family.

I am a Professor who teaches negotiation at a top business school, and I can assure you that Andrew is an expert negotiator. Usually, the problem with real estate agents is that their incentives may not be aligned with yours. In other words, they may try to get you deal that does not fit your needs, just so they can earn the commission. But Andrew is not like that. Andrew is an all-around 5 stars agent. He is trying to find you a deal that will make you feel happy in the long-term. He always advised us to keep the long-term perspective and our overarching goal in mind. While I teach negotiation, I knew nothing about real estate, and was feeling very nervous about buying a home. I did not know anything about the process. We were matched to Andrew on Zillow and we were very impressed by his diligence, knowledge of the process, and work ethics. He is very engaged and passionate about his job. He explained the whole process in details and he is truly an expert at his job. He will make you

If I could give more than 5 stars for Andrew I would ! Andrew is very experienced and knowledgeable which is perfect for a first time buyer. He is not aggressive or pushy like some agents but he will fight for you as his client. My girlfriend and I were anxious at times when purchasing our first home together but working with Andrew, who has a calm but confident energy, helped put us at ease. He is reliable and responsible and makes sure everything is accounted for. He also went above and beyond by getting measurements for us while we were out of town so that we could pick out furniture . My girlfriend and I are lucky to have met Andrew and know that we have our realtor for life in him .

I have been wanting to write this review for a while but kept procrastinating because I couldn't find the words to do Andrew justice. We are first time buyers and knew next to nothing going into this process - so intimidating. We still cannot believe our luck that we ended up with Andrew as our realtor simply by clicking “Request a tour” on a Zillow listing. From the moment Andrew began communicating with us, we could tell he was truly listening and hearing us as we stumbled through figuring out what we were hoping to find. Andrew’s communication style is the kind that makes you feel like you’re really working with a teammate; someone who wants to make sure you are truly happy with the home you buy. His expertise of the market, the area, and the process seamlessly guided two clueless new buyers through to finding the most perfect first home. Once we found the house (which we are absolutely in love with), Andrew’s approach to making an offer and negotiation abilities really showed us.

remember when my husband and I first met Andrew at a house tour we didn’t know if we could afford and wasn’t at all what we wanted. We were just window shopping really. We didn’t know if we should even buy a house, or even if we had a right to dream about what we want because we were worried about our finances. Andrew was god sent angel who changed everything for us. The amount of effort and time he put into walking us through the process and guiding us at every step of the way was unbelievable. He was truly exceptional. He was always available to provide us with the information that we requested (no matter how important or silly, but needed for the sake of our sanity) – every decision that we made, small or big, mattered to him. Not only did we feel like we had all the information we needed to make those decisions, but we also felt like we were in good trust worthy hands. Especially because, as a first-time buyer, we didn’t know all of the questions we should be asking (or do’s an
