Excellent service by Andrew - made great suggestions upon listing my property and followed up on all prospects + helped me manage things as I was absentee from the area. Recommended !

Andrew was both helpful and a great negotiator. He spends an enormous amount of time to make sure that selling the property is at the right, agressive price. He, also, works to make sure that a seller's intent is understood and supported throughout the entire process.

If you want to have a realtor that advocates for you as a seller and will guarantee you best return on property, Andrew is the person to have as your representative!

My home was in VA and I live in California. Andrew and his team were amazing in helping me sell the home without me being there. I could not have asked for a better experience.
