I worked with Andrea to sell my condo in Jack London, Oakland and am so grateful I did. After speaking with 6 agents total that all seemed great in their own way, and getting rejected by 2 of them based on "price expectations", I ended up going with Andrea. I have to say that I didn't really know what a good agent was until working with her. Andrea asked me in our first conversation what success would look like to me and I answered with a price goal and a time goal. She made both her north star and ended up exceeding it with flying colors! After spending a couple weeks prepping the property, with my anxiety on overdrive, the condo got listed on the market. After 4 days, I was blessed with Andrea getting me a strong offer above the listing price. Finding a buyer in this tough condo market was pretty amazing on its own, but to get an offer, and a strong offer at that, above my expectations was truly God-send. Even though we all know realtors make a percentage of the transaction, it never felt like Andrea was in it just for the commission, which is rare. I would work with her again in a heartbeat. read more

Just finished working with Andrea to buy a new home in the East Bay after finding her randomly online. This is the 3rd or 4th time trying to dive into the crazy Bay Area housing market and Andrea is a major part of why we were able to stick with it this time and be successful. Andrea was a perfect mix of keeping us engaged and spirits up, while never making us feel pressured to buy something just to buy something. I would definitely recommend Andrea to anyone and would use her again in the future. She is also someone I would invite over once we are settled to share a glass of wine in the yard and not talk about houses. read more

We worked with Andrea to sell our condo in jack london square last fall. It was a tough market to be in for condos but Andrea did her magic and made it happen. When nobody else was looking for condos in the area, she somehow managed to make it happen. I recommend Andrea because she is very transparent in every step and data driven. She is professional, data driven, and always responsive with her communication. She always had the next steps in moving things along when things felt like it was not moving. We would love to work with her if we ever get the chance and will recommend her to our friends who may be looking in the area. You are in good hands! read more

Andrea was absolutely exceptional in every way; I feel incredibly lucky that I got to work with her. I'm convinced that without her, I wouldn't have been able to buy a house in the Bay Area. I started working with Andrea after searching for over two years. I was utterly discouraged and convinced by my previous agents that I had no hope of buying a house in the area. Andrea swooped in, and within two weeks of working with her, I put in an offer on my house. She knew the market conditions and the area so well that she could precisely predict which houses were worth considering and which would end up outside my price range. Right from the get-go, she gave me hope, outlined realistic expectations, and gave incredibly helpful and pragmatic advice. Andrea is exceptionally savvy and highly knowledgeable about the local market conditions, every step of the buying process, and even human behavior. I have worked with multiple agents over the years and even bought a house before, but this was by far the best experience. I couldn't recommend Andrea highly enough. read more

As a first time home buyer, Andrea was fantastic. She is patient, informed, and extremely hardworking. I particularly loved that she did a session on the whole entire home buying process to help ease me into everything. She pulled out all the stops for me to land my dream home. I still can't believe I found the perfect home and owe a lot of that to Andrea. You won't be disappointed if you partner with her. Highly recommended! read more

Great experience working with Andrea. We considered serveral agents and picked her because of her good tract record. She proved to be a very good choice. Andrea stayed in close contact throughout the process even when one party or the other was in a different country, arranged competent contractors and helped negotiate/close a successful contract in an uncertain market. Would strongly recommend considering her services. read more

We were referred to Andrea from a long time friend, and we are so lucky! Andrea was very communicative from the beginning, when we knew absolutely nothing about buying a house. We didn't have a loan approved, didn't know the first thing about the process, and we sure didn't know that it could all happen within 1 month. But sure enough, Andrea was a trusted advocate for us on this wild ride of home buying. She made us feel comfortable with this huge life changing event and she also listened to us, so we were able to do things our way. She was very matter of fact when she needed to be, and warm and welcoming at all other times. It was a perfect blend of getting S*** done, and having a friend to lean on. You will be lucky to work with her in this crazy world of Bay Area real estate. Best of luck!! read more

I truly enjoyed working with Andrea to find a property. She's honest, direct, very knowledgable, caring, and listened to my needs and the needs of a family member helping me with my search. She also can work VERY quickly and is strategic about real estate - I ended up learning a lot from her and will definitely work with her again! read more

Andrea was recommended to us by her fellow Abio agent Linnette (who we found on Yelp). After working together with her for almost 9 months (! felt like an eternity), my husband and I just closed on a home in Oakland, and we are over the moon. Throughout the process, Andrea was extremely diligent, responsive and communicative. Buying a home in the Bay Area is an enormous purchase, financially and emotionally, and Andrea did a lot of emotional hand holding and coaching as well. Full disclosure: Andrea pushed us at every turn to go above our original budget and "get uncomfortable" in order to be competitive in the current cutthroat real estate landscape. Advice you need is not always the advice you want to hear, but we bought a house and are very happy in the end. Andrea also has great relationships with many other agents and I credit that with us getting into contract on our house. With buyers getting so many competitive offers, it helps to have an agent that stands out to other agents as someone who is good to work with. Lastly, Andrea is super dedicated and detailed. She burned the midnight oil to help us write back to back offers, and on every offer, she went through every contract and disclosure packet in fine detail with us to make sure we knew what we were signing. Overall we had a great experience and appreciated all her help and hard work. read more

I worked with Andrea to purchase a condo and then sell a condo. I think communication is key and Andrea always responded quickly to my numerous inquiries for information. She is very transparent and to the point--which I like. Since she represented me as a buyer and a seller, so I saw how she worked both ends and I highly recommend her. This process in never 100% smooth but Andrea made sure everything worked out in the end. She's also a fun person to talk to. Do not hesitate to hire her!!! read more

Working with Andrea was a breath of fresh air, I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a home. To give you some background, my fiancee and I were looking for a home for over 6 months, after not receiving the support we needed from our previous realtor, we decided to make a change. We started searching for a new realtor and were referred to Andrea by a friend, after their successful home buying experience. We interviewed several realtors and decided to go with Andrea - I am genuinely elated that we found her. My fiancee and I were first-time home buyers, we needed a realtor that could help us navigate the complicated Oakland housing market and explain all of the nuances about buying a home. Andrea, was extremely knowledgeable and patient during the whole process, we never felt pressured to submit an offer on a house (which was extremely relieving). For the two offers that we submitted with Andrea, she reviewed the disclosures with a fine-tooth comb, to verify there were no serious issues with the house. When submitting offers we felt confident in our decision and knew Andrea had our best interest in mind. Although Andrea was working with several clients in tandem with us, she made us feel like we were her only clients. We never needed to ask her twice for reports or disclosures, when she said she would do something she followed through. When our offer was accepted and the documents were signed Andrea was still there by our side to make sure we were fully supported. The first day in our new home the gas would not turn on, we called PG&E but they were closed due to it being Sunday. Not knowing what to do we reached out to Andrea, who went above and beyond to resolve the issue. It is the small details that go a long way and speaks volumes about Andrea's character. She is not the average realtor but more of an advisor. During the whole home buying process, Andrea was there to support us. If you want a realtor that has your best interest in mind and will be there for you even after your offer is accepted, I would highly recommend Andrea. read more

Andrea helped me sell my investment property in May 2021. She started off with a very keen analysis of the property's selling potential from several angles. Should we sell as individual units or as a 4 Plex? We ended up with a strategy and a back up plan. As we made our pre-sale improvements, the market started showing signs of unpredictability. After we launched, and I waited for an offer biting nails and all, Andrea's matter of fact attitude helped keep me calm and focused on the end goal. I am forever grateful. read more

We recently worked with Andrea to sell our condo in Jack London Square, and we couldn't be happier. She handled all of the details from start to finish and did a great job of guiding us through the process as a partner without being overbearing or smarmy. Andrea showed up to our first meeting with more than the typical glossy sales pitch; she brought data and spent time with us reviewing the numbers and her experience with the area. She clearly laid out expectations on everything from a timeline and costs to providing guidance on how to present and price our unit. When we unexpectedly had the opportunity to skip the typical staging/showing/listing process, Andrea made sure that all the details were attended to - we had a totally painless sale process from end to end. We are very happy with the results and highly recommend her work. read more

As first time home-owners, my wife and I could not have asked for a better realtor. Andrea was recommended to us by three separate co-workers of mine, all of whom were also trying to find their first home and ultimately ended up in places they loved. They all had fantastic things to say about her. Andrea guided us through the home buying process from start to finish, was patient and gave us time to figure out what we were looking for, and ultimately helped us find a beautiful home we plan to live in for years...all during one of the most competitive seller's markets the bay area's ever seen. She is kind, thorough, honest, and direct. She spent hours with us going through all of the disclosures and really helped us know what to expect and what to look out for. When we hired a follow-up inspection of the property we ultimately ended up purchasing, she was there to greet the inspector and stayed for hours while both of us were at work. Andrea is a true professional who was there for us when we needed both real estate advice and moral support :) I would highly recommend her to anyone, especially other first time home owners. read more

We were very happy to work with Andrea as our real estate agent. She stuck with us through several years of sporadic bouts of real estate shopping as we tried to find the right property for us. She always dealt with us with courtesy, responsiveness, candor and joviality. As we are first-time buyers, she took the time to educate us on the market and the intricacies of offers, escrow and ownership. Her recommendations for lenders were also on point, with our mortgage officer doing a fantastic job. Most importantly, she was there when the chips were down. For our winning bid, she worked with us to put together an offer within hours of seeing our soon-to-be home. This was critical as we found out there was a competing offer that was expiring shortly. Escrow, while heartburn-inducing by nature, went off without a hitch. Andrea made sure we knew the importance of responding to our lender's requests ASAP in order to allow the rest of the process to proceed. She also was proactive in giving updates and responding to queries and concerns. I should also note that in the wake of our offer's acceptance, we recommended Andrea to a friend. This friend went under contract not long after. read more

My fiancee and I worked with Andrea to buy our first home. Andrea was super helpful throughout the process, from walking us through the steps involved in researching the market, understanding our own needs and wants for the house, to going to viewings, and finally purchasing our new home. She was especially great in navigating the uncertainty involved with buying a home during COVID-19 - supportive and extremely communicative. She stayed in touch with all the right parties to make sure our deal went through despite unforeseen pandemic-related delays, which we were grateful for during this crazy time. We're so happy in our new house - thanks again for all the help Andrea! read more

If you looking to buy a house and you want someone to be your partner and care like your family member then Andrea is that person , Highly recommend her !! Buying a house in San Francisco can be very tough,challenge,stressful and a dream because of the amount of competitions out there . Andrea made it a smooth, fun, and a reality.. Here is a copy of an email I send to Andrea after closing our first home, it tells you my story ! "Dear Andrea , This was along journey and I finally can say, "we got our dream home". Without you been there, this was just a dream, now it is a reality. I can't thank you enough for all the hustling, the back and fourth, the late night text messaging, the last minute doing, the right advise , and all the hard work you did to make this happen. Andrea, I appreciate your patient with me and not giving up on me halfway like I did with you . You will be part of this house good stories for years and years to come. You are Very lovely and I'm very happy for you ,now I can say "YOU GOT THIS " . My family haven't had the chance to meet with you in person to say thank you but it is a big "THANK YOU" from my wife and from my three kids. I'm sure will be in touch soon, so enjoy your holiday weekend and talk soon". read more

We worked with Andrea to sell our beloved condo in Jack London Square and had a great experience. Not only is she an expert on the area, she also guided us through the process and clearly had everything handled from start to finish. I loved how she showed up to our first meeting with an agenda and numerous documents to take us through to set expectations and make sure we were clear on what working with her would be like. I've never had an agent pay such attention to detail and make the process so easy on our end. The listing looked incredible and our property sold for above asking price, so we were thrilled with the outcome! I highly recommend Andrea for real estate in the Bay Area. read more

Where to begin???? Andrea was AMAZING. New to SF, we were going nuts trying to find a place to own, and after too many lazy realtors, who just wanted to meet me at houses that I had to find myself, we found Andrea. She quickly educated me on the "real" price that I should look at, because of the crazy bidding wars going on around here and not waste any more time looking at houses at the top of my budget- that would end up selling WAY over my limited funds. She was so patient, wrote no less than 8 offers, complete with a personal letter and information about us. I was getting pretty discouraged after all the no's we got, but she was undeterred. I should mention that at the level that we could buy, her commission was not going to be fantastic, but that didn't seem to matter to her! I lost track of all the houses that she showed me.......and then a miracle happened and we got one! This house is better than I could have hoped for! But then the real work for her began....banks, title, etc she was right there till the keys were in our hands, and handing us a special bottle of Champagne. Thank you Andrea.......thank you thank you thank you! Amy Nielsen read more

Andrea was THE BEST. We worked with Andrea for both the Buying of our new home and the selling of our previous property. Throughout the whole process, Andrea was incredibly communicative, authentic, transparent, and always looking out for our best needs. She was able to deeply understand what my fiance and I were looking for and did a fantastic job overall at fighting for what we needed. I would 100% recommend anyone to work with her and we'll certainly be reaching out to her again if we ever need to go through the buying process. read more

Where to begin. We met Andrea (friend recommended after their successful home buying) on a Friday over Zoom, looked at homes that next day, put an offer on Wednesday, and offer was accepted on Thursday! This was after 6 months of stress and frustration in the market before meeting Andrea. Andrea was not only professional, knowledgeable, organized, and accountable but also kind, punctual, funny, and genuine. She addressed what was important to us as first time home owners - communication, strategy, and personal attention. We never felt pressured or that we lacked information which gave us confidence while we reviewed disclosures and discussed offer terms. She went above and beyond to make sure we were getting the home we wanted and understood the details throughout the way. We couldn't have asked for more in an agent and comrade through navigating the chaotic Bay Area market. I've already recommended her to anyone looking to buy and will continue to do so! read more

Andrea is a committed, hard-working, and experienced agent whom we recommend anytime someone tells us they are looking for an agent. She was patient and encouraging with us when the process was hard, which it usually is at some point trying to buy a house in the Bay Area. Her insights on properties and her fastidiousness through the process were vastly superior to the experience our friends and co-workers had with their agents. She is communicative, honest, direct, and cares about the people she helps. read more

Great person, very flexible, have a lot of experienced in the real estate world , will do anything to help you find your dream house.

Andrea was a pleasure to work with! Very knowledgeable and made the process easy! Andrea helped narrow our focus and we are extremely happy with our new home. read more

As a first time buyer, I was very nervous about making such a big purchase, especially in the Bay Area. Andrea was very patient got to know me and what I was looking for. She gave me so much knowledge throughout the process, from narrowing down the choices, reviewing disclosures, making my first offer, to closing on my first place, she made it easy and helped me get a great deal! She was always dedicated, available, and knew how to keep the process moving forward and on schedule. We had a very tight closing deadline but she made it happen as promised! read more

Andrea has a rare combination of critical skills. She has incredible people skills, including being an excellent listener, great empathy and infinite patience. On the other hand she has really great task based skills. The combination gives her the patience to help you find the right neighborhood, then the right place in the neighborhood. Once you find a place that you like, her task-based skills allow her to facilitate negotiations, financing and all of the endless paperwork now required by banks. She used all of these skills to help us find our ideal home in the East Bay.. close to SF, BART and great places to eat, drink and socialize. Finally, her support team at MarkerSF (Anastasia and Kevin) are incredibly skilled and knowledgeable about pricing and negotiating tactics. I recommend her completely and without reservations. read more

Andrea was a great partner and advocate for our condo purchase in the Bay Area! We were able to close incredibly fast but she also gave us time to ensure we were comfortable with decisions and the process. Andrea's experience and insight were instrumental in our final decision and all parties involved were happy. I absolutely recommend Andrea and we will loop her back in to represent us for our next purchase! read more

If I could give 10 stars, I would. Andrea patiently guided my boyfriend and I through our first home buying process. We would have been completely lost without her help! First, let me say that our situation that we presented to Andrea wasn't ideal. We had a small budget, a specific neighborhood and a nightmare of a lender. Andrea stuck by us through the entire process and made sure we felt comfortable and in the loop the entire time. As first time home buyers, we really did not know much about the process. Andrea explained every detail and transaction in depth so we felt like we were in control. I'm so thankful that we had Andrea as our agent. I truly feel like we would not be in our dream home. As I type this, I am sitting on my beautiful patio and feel so lucky to be here. This was all made possible by Andrea! read more

It was a great pleasure to work with Andrea! In very little time, she helped us navigate the very foreign real estate market of the Bay Area, after having moved from Minnesota. In fact, she helped us sort though what first appeared to be great prospects, but turned out to be choices that would not have made us happy and comfortable in the long run. She has an excellent ability to really hear the client and help navigate to the best solution. We found our dream home within only two months! If it had not been for Andrea's keen strategy at one bid, we might have been stuck in a deal that was ultimately not our best choice. I would highly recommend working with Andrea! read more

We had struggled to find an agent that actually listened to us, understood what we wanted, was OK with our slow timeline, and wasn't going to pressure us. When we connected with Andrea, we knew we'd found someone who checked all the boxes. Andrea is super responsive, knows when to push clients and when to step back, and is on top of all aspects of a purchase. We've really enjoyed working with her so far. While we haven't yet made a purchase (our problem, not hers), we're looking forward to continuing to work with her until we do. read more

What can I say about Andrea that will not turn this review into a novel of epic proportions? She is THE GREATEST REAL ESTATE AGENT EVER! From the moment my husband and I spoke to her about looking for our first home she was always upfront with all the details and nitty gritty of buying a house whether it is an old rundown fixer upper or new construction she knows her stuff. She guided us with selecting a house in a neighborhood that suites us and made us feel like we finally found our home without pushing or trying to persuade us that we won't get a better deal than this house if we don't move fast. She helped us navigate the most stressful part of buying a house which was the financing portion and was always there to reassure us that we will get through a lot (I mean a LOT of frustrating communications with the lending parties). She always accompanied us when we had house appointments and would always ask the best questions that would benefit us and help us make a decision. She was always available to take our calls when we had questions or concerns unlike some real estate agents that I have heard who would take forever to track down. When we finally found our house, she gave us a parting gift that had sentimental value to her. The fact that she gifted us something so special felt that we have formed a true friendship that I will always remember. read more

Andrea was relentless in finding a buyer. TIC properties are challenging. She went the extra mile. She is a skilled and knowledgeable agent. She is ready to get in her work clothes and do what it takes to make a sale, at the price we were looking for! read more

I contacted Andrea about selling my property in Potrero (a neighborhood she knows very well, from her many years in business in Potrero/Mission area), and next day she was in it, getting it cleaned painted, staged. This occurred within a week of our initial discussion. The following week it was shown and SOLD for an obscene amount over asking. I couldn't be more pleased with Andrea's vision, responsiveness, and doggedness in getting things done and looking out for me as the seller. She's the BEST! read more

Andrea sold our condo in five days--at a record-breaking price for a two bedroom in our building. She worked diligently and strategically to generate competitive offers and succeeded quickly in an unexpectedly challenging market. She was generous with her time and patiently mentored us throughout the preparation and marketing process with grace and good humor. We had a lot of questions for her, and she was consistently responsive and straightforward with her answers. We trusted Andrea with our home and appreciated her honesty and pragmatism in all aspects of the sale. She incorporated us into the marketing effort, striking a perfect balance between shouldering her responsibility for the sale of our home and respecting our desire to be engaged in the process. We are so pleased to have worked with Andrea and would hire her again in a heartbeat. Does this sound like a recommendation? Yes, and of the highest order. Thank you Andrea! Betsy & Don read more

I don't have room or words enough to describe how incredible Andrea was as our agent. Whether you're buying or selling, just trust her. She is so knowledgeable, conscientious, proficient, efficient, diligent, thorough and yes, just fun to be with! Thanks to Andrea, my husband and I sold our SF house after 32 years of ownership for well over the asking price, in record time. When we first met with her in June, it seemed like there was so much to do before we felt we could be ready to list. We were skeptical of how everything could possibly be strategically timed for a proposed open house by Labor Day week. But with her guidance, expertise and many contacts, she just made it all happen! We sold with 10 offers on the table after two weekends of showings. Andrea guided us to the best offer and was coach, counselor, and cheerleader all the way to a speedy closing. Andrea Schlosser is the best real estate agent ever, and I count her as a friend for life! read more
