We were so lucky to find Andrea! She really worked hard to help us find a home that is perfect for our family in this crazy real estate market. Some of the reasons we think she is the best: Good communication: From the first time we spoke on the phone, I could tell that she really cares about her clients. She took the time to really listen to what we hoped to find and then was able to streamline the process for us. She updated us throughout the entire process by phone, email or text. There were no surprises and no confusion because she always kept us well-informed. She was great about talking with the listing agents and finding out as much information as possible about the homes we were interested in. Efficient: She didn't show us homes that she knew would not work for our family. She took the time to go through the new listings and prioritize them by what she knew we were looking for. This helped so much because we had such a short time frame to find a home. We also had our kids with us for most of the time we were viewing homes, so it was nice to not have to spend extra time looking at homes that weren't right for us. Reliable: She always did what she said she would - if we set an appointment, she was always there. If she said she would call the listing agent, we knew she would. If we needed more information, she got it for us right away. Experienced: She knows this area so well. On the day of our first meeting she took the time to drive us around the area just to get us oriented. She pointed out restaurants, nurseries, hospitals and other services. That helped so much! She knows this market. She knows what it takes to present a strong offer when there are multiple offers on a home. She knows what to look for when looking through homes. She was able to share her knowledge with us in order to help us feel more confident in our decisions without making us feel pressured. Although she has many clients, she did a wonderful job making us feel that she always had time for us. We know she worked long hours and some late nights to ensure everything worked out for us! We would definitely use her again and would recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home. It is obvious that she loves her work as a realtor and really cares about her clients. read more

We have been a repeat client of Realtor Andrea Szekrenyi for the past 13 years. Andrea has helped us buy and sell several homes in the East Bay. We are completely satisfied with her performance as our Real Estate Agent that we have continued to seek her services for all of our real estate needs. Andrea's professionalism and dedication to her craft really made a big difference in our home buying and selling experience. She has a vast knowledge of the local market, is well connected and respected in the area, always keeps us informed throughout the process and pays attention to all the details. Andrea has a strong work ethic, is sincere, trustworthy and most importantly cares about her clients. She always goes above and beyond to put her client's needs first. In our most recent transaction of selling our house, Andrea was instrumental in providing an excellent market analysis on how best to price our home. She worked with local contractors to get any needed repairs completed, staged our home appropriately and negotiated to get us the best offer. Once our house was on the market, we had a large number of interested buyers based on the numerous showings and foot traffic throughout the open house. We received multiple offers that well exceeded our original asking price and Andrea was able to negotiate the best bid. Andrea has exceeded our expectations as a real estate agent. When she says she is going to do it, rest assured, she's going to do it! These positive attributes are the traits that set her aside from the rest. Over the years, we have recommended her services to several of our friends and families who have used her services and are highly satisfied repeat clients. We will continue to recommend her in the future. Andrea is definitely a five out of five! read more

Andrea was referred to my wife and I by several of my co-workers when we moved to the Bay Area. She is the go to realtor for my employer. From our initial meeting, Andrea helped coach us through the entire buying process. She was supportive and kept us focused on our goals as we went through the different properties she showed us. Andrea willingly went into a basement with my wife to check out the structure of the home and the adventure peaked both of their interests. She was hands on while we looked at the flooring, vents, and bathrooms of the different properties. At times, she gladly played with our two year-old, so we could get a better look at the properties we were seeing. Our son loved playing catch and running around the houses with Andrea. Now that we are in a home, Andrea has offered her professional opinion on what upgrades we should and should not do for future resale. As first time home buyers, Andrea put us a ease, provided consult, and set a standard for what a realtor could do for us. read more

Andrea handled the sale of our home last year and I can't say enough good things about her. We met with her when we were considering selling our home, and she took the time to make sure we understood our different options and the ramifications of each. She never pressured us or tried to push us in directions we weren't ready to go. Once we made the decision to sell our home through her, she moved quickly to begin showing, and had our first open house that same weekend. She respected our family's time when scheduling showings. She was great about keeping us updated on developments, and was prompt to respond to our calls and questions. Her knowledge of the field and her think-outside-the-box resourcefulness allowed her to work through a couple of challenges that could have derailed a less determined agent. She is a consummate professional, tenacious, direct, honest, and reliable. She was a delight to work with. Would we recommend her and/or use her again? Absolutely! read more

Our experience with Andrea was amazing! She connected us with an excellent contractor who gave us the minor upgrades we felt were needed to get top dollar for our home. In addition to that, she introduced us to a phenominally creative designer to handle the staging aspect of the sale. After only 1 week on the market, and the 1st open house weekend showing, we received competitive multiple offers from qualified perspective buyers. Andrea was personable, easy to work with and very sensitive and responsive to our specific needs throughout the entire process. She gets a five star rating and two thumbs up. :) I highly recommend Andrea for managing any of your property marketing needs....Michael and Yolonda Lacey :) read more

From our very first phone call, to our first face to face meeting, to when she gave us the keys to our new house, Andrea was a complete delight to work with. She is prompt, professional, courteous and all the other attributes that make a great real estate agent. She made our experience of buying our first home one to never forget. She took time to listen to our wants and needs and did her best to find a home that matched. She was very responsive to our phone calls and aggressive with other agents and sellers (which is a good thing). We definitely recommend Andrea to anyone buying or selling a home and we look forward to working with her in the future. 5/5! read more

I have worked with Andrea on two separate occasions buying and selling real estate. I can say that in both situations Andrea worked in a way that prompt, courteous and efficient. She is highly organized and has enough experience in the market to set your home sale up to effectively meet the market. She navigated a home sale that could have been total chaos without her experience. We ended up with over 200 people at our open house... Her process works. I will be working with Andrea again. 5 Stars - Great experience. read more

She makes us feel comfortable and has always been very available to respond to our questions and concerns. Understandably, buying or selling a home can be a stressful event. But Andrea has professionalism. is very knowledgeable, and has a lovely sense of humor. It made us relaxed from the start. We will always go to her for our real estate needs. And I am happy to refer all and everyone to her! read more

Andrea is a great realtor that goes out here way to get the deal done. We did not have the easiest Seller to deal with and Andrea stepped up to make sure things were taken care and kept moving forward. It was a fluke that she ended up representing us and I can say of the 5 properties that I have bought she was the best realtor I have dealt with by far. She definitely earned the 5 stars on this one. Highly recommended. read more

It took us several months from when we first considered selling to list. Gina and Andrea were with us from the beginning - they were patient and knowledgeable, walked us through everything - when to sell, how/when to list, and more. Their experience got us 19 offers in a week and sold for well over asking price. We couldn't be happier and we would use them again in an instant. read more
