"It was a pleasure working with Andrea from start to finish. The decision to put my house on the market was a big and emotional one. Andrea was thoughtful every step of the way and a partner throughout. Her truly “can do” way of thinking about things, attention to detail, marketing expertise and knowledge of the community made for a very positive experience."
-Lynne - Corte Madera, Client
"Andrea helped us buy and sell our home in Marin, and she is simply the best. Her knowledge of the local real estate market was a huge asset, as we sold our house off-market for well over asking price! Andrea was there for us throughout the entire process and provided valuable counsel and advice so that we could make informed decisions. We just wished that she worked on the East Coast so that she could help us buy our new home there. There is no reason to work with anyone else in Marin – just reach out to Andrea and she will do an amazing job whether you are buying or selling!"
-Dan & Chelsea, Client
"Andrea’s calm demeanor and knowledge of the market made the entire process straightforward and manageable. We would not have been able to pull it off without her guidance -- from preparing the house, strategizing the list price, marketing and building momentum, and negotiating the best terms in our favor, through closing. If given the opportunity, we would use Andrea again!"
-Jeanette & Andrea - Corte Madera, Client
