9/10/2024 - 5 Star Facebook Review - I had the pleasure of working with Andrew De Vries on my uncle's estate. This was a particularly difficult time for my family, as it was unexpected. We had a very difficult time with his estate due to circumstances beyond our control. Andrew had respect for the situation and helped keep the entire process professional and he also showed compassion for my family. The house was prepared and looked amazing for the open house. I can not thank Andrew enough for all the effort and care he put into preparing and selling my uncle's home for us. Thank you for making the process seamless.
- Melissa G., Administrator Seller of 444 San Bruno Avenue in San Francisco for $1,125,000.6/7/2024 - 5 Star Google, Yelp and Facebook Review - Andrew is truly a Godsend. I've used him twice; he was recommended to me by a family member who has also used him multiple times. The pain of losing a loved one, making decisions about possessions they, and you, held dear is almost unbearable. Not only did Andrew provide sage advice, he and his team were professional, reliable, trustworthy, honest, meticulous, thorough...I mean, the list of adjectives goes on and on. I will forever be grateful.
- Karla M., Seller of 1055 16th Street in Oakland for $860,0005/23/24 - 5 Star Yelp Review - Andrew was recommended for an estate sale of a neglected and cluttered duplex in the Sunset. He was very experienced in this type of sale and hired the right people to clean it out and was able to get it on the market quickly. He knew exactly how to market it and price it. The suplex sold in two weeks, over the asking price and all cash. His experience and expertise made the process painless. I felt comfortable enough to leave town during the process. He handled all the details...even finding the insurance broker for a vacant property. I plan to recommend him to a friend with a similar situation. I would not hesitate to use Andrew again.
- Carole S., Trustee Seller of 1318-1320 5th Ave in San Francisco for $1,601,000.3/3/24 - 5 Star Yelp Review - Andrew de Vries did a fantastic job selling a unique property for me recently. I chose him for his experience with fiduciaries and properties in trusts in the Bay Area. I felt like I was in good hands every step of the way. Considering how much business he does, I was impressed that he handled all the communications himself--always prompt, patient, and professional. His team quickly prepped the house with all the painting, repairs, and staging necessary at reasonable rates. He aggressively marketed the property with impressive photos, a 3D tour, and open houses. I was happy with the offers and the escrow process was seamless. It was a pleasure working with Andrew and I will gladly recommend his services to anyone.
- Sam W., Trustee Seller of 239 Bixby Street in San Francisco for $725,000.2/17/24 Google, Yelp & Facebook 5-Star Review - We had an inherited house that we needed to sell with a long-time tenant who was making things difficult. A friend highly recommended Andrew De Vries. Because of Andrews experience, he guided us along the entire journey. The title company that Andrew recommended was very familiar with Trust sales and that work went smoothly. We helped us reach an agreement with the tenant to vacate the property in a timely manner. Andrew had a team of contractors on call to do the things needed to get the property ready to sell. He pointed out the things that would improve the property and provide a good return. The work was completed quickly, and the house really sparkled. He had a strategy for generating significant interest in the property and we received multiple offers above asking-price. The house was on the market for a very short time. With Andrews advice, we picked the best offer and were able to close quickly.Andrew was great at keeping us informed throughout the entire process. He had a team of professionals (e.g., title company, lawyer, contractors, etc.) to handle all the things that needed to be done. This whole process went about as smoothly as anyone could expect. We would highly recommend Andrew to anyone who needs to sell property in the Bay Area. If we ever need to sell property again, we will not hesitate to use Andrew again.
- Greg M., Seller Of 1133 Moraga Street, San Francisco for $1,320,000.2/4/2024 - Google 5 Star Review - Andrew helped us navigate what could have been a very difficult process with total ease from start to finish. He helped us clear out our family home, stage it for minimal expense and sell it for top dollar. Every part of the process was fantastic. We really enjoyed working with him.
- Julie V., Seller of 7600 Potrero Ave in El Cerrito for $1,321,0005 Star Yelp Review - 12/20/23 - Andrew was a great partner working between the trust I am responsible for and the trust of another family member. His fiduciary background and his real estate skills ensured a rapid and successful sale of a home in Mill Valley. He was a clear and responsive communicator who kept all parties in the loop during a complicated process.
- Danica R., Trustee for Beneficiary of the Sale of 120 East Manor Drive, Mill Valley for $1,600,000.11/20/2023 - On behalf of my sisters and I we wanted to wish you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving. We have much to be thankful for....first having a friend who recommended you. And that you, in turn, proved to be the exact realtor we needed to help us navigate through this complex transaction. No doubt the buyers threw us a curveball, but you assured us that everything will work out right, given the deposit they made. Indeed, your prediction, that all will be well, was on the money. Our closing may have been delayed, but at the end of the day...we got our money. Thanks so very much.
- The Quan Sisters - Sellers of the 7-Unit Building at 1127 Hyde Street in San Francisco.5 Star Yelp Review - 7/7/2023 - Well, when your agent brings in a sale at 17% over asking, during a period of high interest rates and volatility, on a house with vinyl siding no less, that's hard to beat! There were other complications as well, but the sale closed without a hitch! Andrew was sensitive to the situation as it was my Mom's home for most of her adult life. Very professional. Good advice. I highly recommend him!
- Robert H., Seller of 475 Bonita in Pleasanton for $1,425,000!Yelp review 5 star Yelp Review - 2/27/2023"I was thrilled to work with Andrew again on a probate sale, I knew that he would make this process as seamless as possible. He is efficient, resourceful, timely, and always professional. I would definitely recommend Andrew, and I look forward to working with him again."
- Mona W., Attorney for Administrator Seller of 2755 Barry Place in Oakland, Just Sold for $615,000.5 Star Yelp Review - 7/7/2023 - Well, when your agent brings in a sale at 17% over asking, during a period of high interest rates and volatility, on a house with vinyl siding no less, that's hard to beat! There were other complications as well, but the sale closed without a hitch! Andrew was sensitive to the situation as it was my Mom's home for most of her adult life. Very professional. Good advice. I highly recommend him!
- Robert H., Seller of 475 Bonita in Pleasanton for $1,425,000!8/14/23 - 5 Star Yelp Review I live 1,000 miles away in Seattle and so I was very limited in what I could do myself, but that was not a problem. Andrew oversaw every detail as the house was readied for sale, and took care of everything that came up. I placed my trust in Andrew through this entire, somewhat stressful process, and I felt like he repeatedly went above and beyond and brought the best possible outcome for us. I highly recommend him!
- David T., Seller of 61 Edison Avenue, Corte Madera for $988,000!3/3/2023 - 5 Star Yelp Review - Andrew De Vries was absolutely amazing! He is the Rock Star of brokers. Out of 1 to 10 I would give him a 20. I inherited a house that was basically in good condition but needed a really lot of cleaning up. He had the people he works with that did a fantastic job for a reasonable amount of money. He directed their work and used his own fabulous taste to see to it that the house and yard look great. He sold the house during very difficult times and sold it quickly. We had 6 offers and it went for well over our asking price. To top it off he was responsive, charming, and very easy to work with.
- Lauren S., Trustee Seller of 324 Hill Street, San Francisco for $2,050,000!6/29/2022 - 5 Star Google, Yelp, and Facebook Review - My mother needed to sell her cottage in Berkeley as she was moving to assisted living. We were introduced to Andrew through a fiduciary service who recommended his services. Andrews insight, expertise and professionalism made him an excellent choice. He presented us with a strategic plan which included reaching the perfect buyers, taking the stress and weight of having to clean, repair and paint ourselves and the staging looked fabulous! He made the process seamless, was attentive in answering questions and understanding our needs and went the extra mile. He was willing to travel to the assisted living facility to make it easier for my mother and we met his sweet dog. We received many offers, and we were matched with a wonderful buyer who fell in love with our home. My mother loved to garden, and the buyer envisioned his new vegetable garden would be perfect there. The house sold quickly within two weeks. My heart is full of gratitude for Andrew and his team!
- Tobey A., Seller of 2510 ½ Enta Street, Berkeley for $1,550,000.04/28/2022 - Five Star Review - Andrew just completed the sale of my parent's home. When we first met he outlined everything that he would do, how he would do it, and in what order. And that's exactly what happened while he kept me informed every step along the way. His manner was always very professional and reassuring as the house was cleaned, repaired, painted as needed, staged and photographed. His expertise continued with a tenant buyout and through the selling process,s discussing with me the offers, escrow and title procedures, and even home notary service. Best of all he made selling my parent's house a stress-free process for me. When I need to sell my own home, I will definitely call on Andrew to be my realtor.
- Barbara D., Seller of 3055 23rd Ave, San Francisco for $2,070,00011/5/2021 - Google & Yelp 5-Star Review - Andrew is extremely professional and did an outstanding job of helping me with all my needs. He went above and beyond to assure all was taken care of. Andrew represented me as a buyer in a probate matter and I dont think I could have possibly had anyone better. I would recommend him to anyone. He responds extremely fast to calls, follows up quickly, and has a lot of experience in probate, and is very well versed in the topic. Hes been doing it for so long he knows all the ins and outs. 10/10.
- Saed N., Buyer of 1671 45th Avenue in San Francisco.Andrew's a pleasure to work with. Seven months prior to my family home being listed, and even before being in contract with Andrew, he went to check on the property due to a sudden roof leak. He had no obligation to do so, but saved me a five hour round trip. This was my first impression of Andrew, which established my trust in him. Though hard to sell my home on an emotional basis, I was quickly put at ease due to Andrew's professionalism and honesty. He explained the process from day one, and without delay followed through with each and every step needed to be completed before listing the property. He made me feel comfortable asking questions as this was my first time selling. He made sure all of the repairs, landscaping, and cleaning up was done in a timely manner. He even made a beautiful custom website for my home's listing! Within two weeks we got our first offers, and were in contract with the buyers the next day. He turned a stressful situation into such a positive experience. I highly recommend working with Andrew!
- Shela Bill10/12/2021 - Andrew did everything regarding the sale. I moved out before some upgrades were done to my house. He organized and supervised every step of the way, from seeing that everything that hadn't been moved with me was removed before the work on the unit began. His ideas about modernizing the home I'd lived in for 35 years yielded a very clean, modern-looking and desirable piece of real estate, and brought substantially more than the asking price.
- Edith D., Seller of 2449 Blackpool Lane, San Leandro for $750,0009/21/2021 - 5 Star Yelp Review - We've bought two homes with Andrew over the past 13 years. Great experiences each time. We also recently sold a home for top market value with Andrew. The process was seamless, and Andrew's team was top-notch. Highly recommend!
- Dylan C., Seller of 2641 Mathews Street, Berkeley for $1,190,0009/21/2021 - 5 Star Yelp Review - We've bought two homes with Andrew over the past 13 years. Great experiences each time. We also recently sold a home for top market value with Andrew. The process was seamless, and Andrew's team was top-notch. Highly recommend!
- Dylan C., Seller of 2641 Mathews Street, Berkeley for $1,190,000I am writing to unconditionally recommend Andrew de Vries as a realtor. I wanted to sell a property held in trust in Oakland, California in the Spring on 2009. I wanted to do so as quickly as possible. Andrew was recommended to me by an attorney as a realtor who specializes in trust sales in the San Francisco Bay Area. I interviewed Andrew and two other realtors recommended by neighbors and family. In the Spring of 2009 this market was dominated by short-sales and foreclosures, and pricing of sales was trending downward. Andrew distinguished himself from the others by outlining a detailed, and more comprehensive marketing approach, and a specific plan for evaluating responses and re-pricing the property, if necessary. Andrew's comprehensive approach to marketing the property generated three offers above the asking price within 10 days. He recommended the inspector to use, offered his assessment of the buyer's financial position, and detailed the steps to convey the house to the buyer I selected. He kept me informed about the status of each step in the process and was always available for questions. What I appreciated most about Andrew's approach was his objectivity. He made sure that I had realistic expectations about the market, the purchase and sales agreement, the possible problems I might encounter prior to finally conveying the title to the property. Andrew exceeded my expectations about working with a realtor, especially at a distance and in a difficult market. He made this sale an effortless experience for me. His professionalism and helpfulness were outstanding. I highly recommend him.
- Ed BalkovichI could tell right away I had the right agent for my challenging project. It was a long and windy road, but your communication was very direct and efficient. At closing I was able to breathe a big sigh of relief and be thankful. I want to express my many thanks for all your great advice, patience, efficient communication, and very professional work ethic. You most definitely get my highest recommendations.
- David BarrettI would first like to express my sincerest appreciation for making the entire trust sale process smooth and stress-free for me. You quickly and efficiently had the home professionally cleaned and prepped for sale, coordinated all the home inspections via reputable companies, and collected all necessary disclosure, all the while keeping us completely informed each step of the way. Once on the market, your marketing plan garnered us 16 offers within 10 days and resulted in a strong sale that was closed within 30 days. That said, I compliment you on your dedicated professionalism, enthusiastic nature, and knowledgeable guidance, particularly from afar.
- George DonderoWhen my mother passed away unexpectedly, as the administrator of her estate I felt a huge task. I also lived and worked in Los Angeles. Andrew deVries was a godsend. We discovered that my mother was a world-class packrat and papers were everywhere. Andrew kept me calm, assuring me that he would work closely with me through the process of liquidating her home and selling it. He explained every step of the procedure. He provided a detailed prospectus on the house sale and what to expect. My attorney was very impressed with his attention to detail. Andrew found me a reliable, super professional house liquidator. This helped me feel as if I had a team of experts working for me. I was so thankful that he kept in almost daily contact with me in Los Angeles. Considering the chaos we started with, he made it easier for me than I could have imagined. Understanding the uniqueness of a probate sale, he appreciated how difficult it was for me to sell my family home. Most memorably, his kind touch guided me through those emotional times. He also got me over two hundred thousand dollars MORE than I was asking! Though our business together was a few short months, I now think of him as a friend
- Diane NicholsFrom the start to finish of the home buying process, Andrew was attentive, informed, and more help than I expected. We started out with a series of very informal conversations about what I was looking for, and he really helped me zero in on what I was looking for. At the start, when I knew almost nothing of the real estate scene in San Francisco, he provided a no-pressure resource, pointing me towards interesting properties to check out, and all the while keeping notes on what was important to me, while helping me narrow my focus. Never once did I feel any pressure to make a decision, and on more than one occasion, Andrew proved to be the voice of caution when I was swept up by something that caught my sense of romance, but may not have made a wise investment. After almost 10 months of looking, I found the perfect place for me, and because of his help and guidance, I felt calm and confident that I was making a smart choice. The purchase is where a realtor really comes in handy, and Andrew didn't disappoint. He patiently walked me through making my first bid, and came to each meeting armed with all the useful data and information I wouldn't have thought of. He helped me make a competitive bid, and in the end I got a fantastic deal on my place. Even after I closed, he's always there for me when I have a question. If you're just starting the process and have no idea what you're looking for, or already have everything figured out and want a dynamo in your corner to help you make it happen, Andrew's your guy. He's absolutely the person you want in your corner, especially if real estate is nothing but intimidating to you. He's patient, considerate, tireless, and really listens to what you need.
- Kyle MI wish to thank you for the excellent work you did for me during a difficult time. Your compassion and understanding were beyond what I expected. You not only followed the necessary but skillfully and politely dealt with long-time tenants, keeping us informed of the progress, thus relieving me of the burden. The fact that your expertise and dedication had the property sold within two weeks at an above asking price enables me to recommend you to anyone who may be in need of a real estate agent. Thank you!
- Martha HughesThank you for the help in selling my home of 40 years in the sunset district. I appreciated that you called me directly to solicit my business and kept that very active approach throughout the sale of my home. You helped me present my home well, found me a good buyer, and kept the intrusion on my home to a minimum while I prepared for my move to a retirement home in Seattle. I also appreciated your help with the cleaning, gardening, hauling, and ultimately closing the deal when I left town. Based on my experience I would recommend you highly in the future.
- Norma HietaAfter a lengthy period of listing my home with another agent and not receiving any offers, your active market approach was a welcome relief. You were able to position my unique 2-unit home well for the market and get it noticed by the right people. Within two weeks of listing with you, I had multiple offers at the price point I wanted and felt the remodel deserved. In addition, I appreciated that you managed the process smoothly and your ability to set realistic expectations of what I should expect during the sale. Based on my experience I would gladly recommend you to others looking to sell their home for maximum value.
- Chris MatthewsThis is the first time I have posted a testimonial but Andrew de Vries was amazing with the sale of my grandmother's house in December 2013. Mr. de Vries was recommended to me by probate court and he told me in the beginning that the 1922 house would sell quickly, even it was in a rough condition, however in a great location. I did not believe him and hoped that someone would just offer the asking price and have a closed deal in a few months! Mr. de Vries not only kept his word but the house sold for $60K above the asking, an all cash offer with an 11-day escrow. I never, never, never would I have ever expected this type of real estate deal. I have not one complaint on how he handled this transaction - he made this sale easier to stomach considering releasing the family home was a hard but necessary task for me. I would use him again! I highly recommend Mr. de Vries for your real estate needs.
- Chivon Kemp StephensonThe main purpose of this note is to let everyone involved know how completely satisfied I am with the work that Andrew de Vries performed as the real estate agent in this matter. He assured me from the beginning that I would have nothing to worry about at all and that he would be our "feet on the ground" in San Francisco. He more than kept his word. I had absolutely nothing to worry about, and the speed with which it all happened made my head spin. There is not a single complaint I have in how he handled this. I honestly cannot think of a single thing he could have done differently that would have made any of this any better. I am completely satisfied and truly impressed with his work. Thank you for recommending him.
- Tim DunneAndrew is an absolutely fantastic realtor/broker and wonderful guy; he is most personable, creative, 100% punctual and DELIVERS with over-the-top results. I've bought and sold real estate for 36 years - Andrew is a gem, you sign on with Andrew and you'll be smiling broadly at the results. He can coordinate/handle complex, multi-unit deals with numerous parties, 1031 exchangers, financial institutions, work with municipalities, trusts, partnerships, staging company(s), or simply help you sell your home and find a new residence to purchase. No matter whether big or small, simple or complex (I've done both with him) you get the same superior high-quality performance and service!
- John DierkeAndrew served as our real estate agent extraordinaire for the complex and emotionally difficult sale of my Mothers home. I live out of state and asked Andrew if he could just handle everything for me, and he went beyond any expectations I had of what that meant. He used care and discretion interacting with my elderly Mother, hired and coordinated final upgrades to the home before the sale, and then handled the marketing and final sales transactions with exceptional professionalism. Every step of the way I relied on Andrew and came to expect top notch work. He never let us down. After just a few weeks on the market, we had multiple solid offers, and our family home sold for $65,000 over the asking price. If you need a seasoned real estate professional, who is smart, motivated and caring Andrew is the one to choose.
- Liz HoenigI want to thank you again for your wonderful referral to Andrew. He has been great to work with and extremely helpful and efficient along with being most knowledgeable! A real expert in the real-estate business!
- Carol DentzIn all the mad dash after escrow closed, I don't know if I adequately thanked you for your amazing work on this sale. You did your normal stellar job in representing me and obtaining the contractor to do the work and agreeing to being paid out of escrow was so vital to our success. Again, thank you so much. I will be in touch when my next house comes up over whatever bridge is between Marin and there.
- Caron SchmeirerWe had never sold a house before, and our first sale was on behalf of the family. Andrews knowledge and expertise were incredibly helpful to us. He helped us navigate through an experience that can be fraught with stress. His attention to detail and positive attitude made the process easier. His strategies were very sound: he saved us money by explaining why we didnt need to stage the house and his marketing plan resulted in multiple offers and a great sales price. We would definitely recommend Andrew.
- Dan & Tara ClanonThank you so much for all your patience and guidance throughout my first probate sale. I really appreciated your professionalism, your willingness to answer my endless questions - and how downright unflappable you were (somehow you were able to make all the crazy issues associated with this house seem like run-of-the-mill matters!). I had absolute confidence in your knowledge and advice, which made the whole process as low-stress as it could possibly be. I look forward to working with you again.
- Jennifer KeystonetI just wanted to thank you for all your hard work in getting our father's home (in Hayward) sold and walking us through the process. You're a rock star!
- Kory FrostThanks so much for all your hard work this past year. I look forward to being able to refer anyone and everyone to you, I cant recommend your professionalism and patience with this process enough. You made a very difficult time as bearable as it could possibly be, with incredible results. Thanks again and keep up the great work for others.
- Doug SAndrew came highly recommended to me. Mine was a very complex situation involving probate, a reverse mortgage, and a home that was destroyed by fire. Andrew was very professional and assured me that he would do his best, which he did. The home sold for $146,000 over asking and was only on the market for a couple of weeks. He was always on time for appointments and answered my phone calls and emails promptly. He put me at ease assuring me he would take care of everything and made me very comfortable. If you need a real estate who is capable and efficient, then by all means call Andrew.
- Patricia SalazarHello Andrew: You're batting 1000 -- great job in guiding us through the sale of the house -- you covered all the bases from A-Z and I would have no hesitation recommending your services. All of your recommendations Re: preparation and marketing of the home were "spot-on" and I will certainly let the fiduciaries that I work with know what a great job you have done. Thank you again.
- Terence MurphyAndrew went so far beyond the usual duties of a realtor that hes created a whole new standard for the profession. The last few weeks as we sorted and packed up 40 years of our lives we had a reliable, competent, and resourceful friend at our side. We slept better knowing that Andrew was on the job. And the bottom line? The top-dollar sale of our beloved building.
- Dianna WaggonerAndrew: You have been absolutely wonderful in every way throughout this entire process. Out of all the people we've had to deal with since our mother's passing, by far, your brand of service and compassion have placed you at the very top of the others. Thank you for getting us through this process during a very difficult period in our lives. We sincerely appreciate you and everything you've done for us and our family.
- Trish & Phil JRecently Andrew assisted my parents with the sale of my Aunt's home in San Mateo. The situation was difficult and perhaps one that not everyone would want to tackle, as the home had been neglected for years. My parents had not bought or sold a home in years and were not familiar with the process. Andrew was methodical and professional about the way he explained the process, the task list and was patient as they learned how this would all unfold. He was without a doubt, the bright spot in this process. Andrew has years of experience and has crafted a level of customer service not often seen in real estate. His knowledge of the market was second to none, and his knowledge of the probate process and all of the issues that come with it was equally impressive. At the same time, his commitment to ensuring things were always done the right way was very reassuring to them. He made numerous recommendations on things they needed to do that were both efficient and cost effective throughout the entire process, and the teams of people he hired to aid in the clean up process were a joy to work with, and were speedy but thorough at every step. The suggestions he made were both fruitful and creative to ensure a swift and complete sale WELL above the asking price. Beyond being an exceptionally professional agent, he was smart, kind, compassionate, respectful, and communicative, at every step, making a daunting process seem comfortable. Andrew was an amazing resource throughout the entire process and our family would highly recommend him to anyone who is in need of an exceptional agent in the bay area!
- Annemarie, Bill & Mary MainwaringTo put it simply: Andrew de Vries was a godsend. The process of preparing our family home for sale was arduous and emotional and for years it seemed like an impossible task. But once we chose Andrew to help us, it was like a huge weight was lifted. His track record speaks for itself, but what I was most impressed with is his ability to listen--we had financial limitations on what we could accomplish getting the property ready to market and Andrew was very sensitive and responsive to our concerns. He has a way of being confident and assertive without being pushy. He's also resourceful--if Plan A doesn't fit the budget, he's got a back-up. He's also very thorough and a consistent communicator, keeping you apprised of everything step-by-step. He did a tremendous job, turning what had been, frankly, a highly stressful and emotionally fraught "nightmare" into a dream come true.
- Eddie M 5 Star Yelp ReviewIt has been a pleasure having Andrew de Vries as my realtor. He was referred to me by my Attorney and it was the best decision made. He is very kind, patient, detailed, and looked out for my best interest. He stayed with me keeping me informed throughout the entire process of the sale. It is my honor to refer him to anyone who is interested in selling their property. I highly recommend Andrew de Vries!
- Glen WaltonWhen my mother passed away, my sister and I used him to sell her house in San Francisco. She had lived in the same dwelling for seventy years. Clean-up was a struggle both physically and emotionally. We handed this difficult task over to Andrew. Needless to say, his crew was most efficient. He cleaned, painted, and ripped up all the carpets and polished up the old, but beautiful hardwood floors. We did not stage but received over a dozen solid offers on our five-room, one-bath home. Andrew handled all business and paperwork as we accepted a cash bid of $200,000 over asking. We recommended Andrew to our neighbor in Foster City who sold his condo within two weeks. Friendly, efficient, and a good communicator, you can be sure that Andrew will work with you in successfully selling your property.
- Roxanne K.We were in Dallas, selling a Bay Area property that was in probate, so things looked grim until Andrew took over. He handled every detail of the deal impeccably, even got the property re-painted, carpeted, and floored, all in excellent taste aimed at selling, all without our having to travel to oversee anything. And he did things like go get the mileage off a car that was stranded in the parking garage so we could re-title it. Where there were hitches, he knew how to unhitch them. Can't say enough about his professionalism, smarts, taste, and good nature. Oh, and we got a price way over asking, not that that's important or anything.
- Jim SchutzeAndrew de Vries coordinated the sale of two homes for our family, both Berkeley venues, and he was the consummate professional throughout the process. From the beginning, it was clear that Andrew is a superior realtor: his knowledge is extensive, his network ramifies throughout Northern California, and his sense of responsibility and attention to detail is extraordinary. He arranged the services of contractors, painters,and cleaning crews that made readiness of the properties for sale an effortless process. His marketing of the properties was superior: professional photographs illustrated the properties at their very best, and multiple open houses led to numerous offers within a brief time-frame. Andrew is the best realtor I have seen over the years--his responses to inquiries were invariably prompt and informative, and his performance and results always exceeded expectations. Highest recommendation!
- Katrina NanceMy family and I are eternally grateful for Andrew and his crews for turning this burdensome project into a less stressful experience for us all. His advice was invaluable when it came to deciding which repairs were necessary to maximize our return without overspending and staying within our budget. He had a great crew of licensed, bonded, and insured contractors that could provide quality and timely services needed to get the house prepared for market without us being there. Andrew was timely with his communications, moved quickly to provide bids from his crews, and scheduled them to work within a day or two once I approved the bids. I always knew what his next step was going to be and when it would happen. He kept me updated, informed, and delivered on all of his promises. Andrew put the house on the market, priced it correctly based on the current market, and executed his extensive marketing plan. He had streams of potential buyers viewing the house and we received multiple offers within two weeks. He presented the best offers to us and we accepted an all-cash offer and closed in record time. We highly recommend Andrew as your realtor whether you are selling or buying. He is the best.
- Donna MasseyWe recently sold our family home. Our parents purchased the home in 1962/63. The sale of the property was personally very difficult because I have lived in the home the last 21 years. I have so many great memories of growing up there and graduating high school in that neighborhood.The sale required that Andrew work with three sellers. Andrew talked with each of us individually and collectively. Andrew maintained contact with the three of us on an ongoing basis providing constant updates, and estimates for third party services. Andrew was thorough, meticulous, timely, accurate, patient, and supportive. Andrew provided a team of workers to complete necessary repairs, painting, yard upgrades, hauling, and removed the existing carpet. The carpet removal revealed the beautiful hardwood floors! Andrew coordinated all necessary inspection reports to meet potential contingencies of the buyer's contract. Andrew then contacted a company to beautifully stage the property. After the pre-determined period to show the home was completed, we immediately received 4 offers. I am very pleased with Andrew's work and I highly recommend his services. As I previously said, this was a very emotional separation for me. I trusted Andrew's expertise throughout the entire process.
