Andrew has helped me both manage my property and sell it. I think the most important thing about working with Andrew is how much I could trust him. Being a first time landlord and first time seller, he walked me through the process, answering all of my questions along the way. Not only did he fulfill the services at a reasonable cost, he offered valuable advice that gave me confidence everything would work out. If you're looking for someone with both in depth knowledge and quality customer care, Andrew and his team would be the best choice. Looking forward for the next chance to work with him read more

Our story: I had spent years wanting to relocate. I had a condo in RSM I wished to sell, but never felt like I had the time to go through the process. I brought an agent out whom I had worked with in the past to help me sell it. I was hoping to get an easy formula to get my place ready for the market, but all she did was make it seem like a lot of work and time that I didn't have. I really wondered where the value was in a real estate agent. Fast forward a couple years... I run into Andrew, a friend I had known through school but had not had contact with in many years. I always knew Andrew to be very punctual and aspiring. I honestly thought he would be my best bet for finally realizing my ambition of moving onto something better. I brought Andrew out to look at my condo. Instead of hearing about ALL the things I needed to do to prepare my house for sale, he gave me some tips and told me that we would have no problem selling this home quickly. His ideas were amazing. After a frugal trip to Target my place looked amazing. I joked with him and said that I didn't even want to sell it anymore. He then sent over his photographer and took top quality photos. He even had them take aerial photos with a drone to show the appeal of the nearby amenities you wouldn't have seen any other way. Long story short, I received multiple offers above asking price and Andrew kept my informed and educated throughout the process. I learned a lot from Andrew during this transaction. Despite being in the beginning of a pandemic with a lot of uncertainty, Andrew's strategy got me top dollar for my sale in a timely manner. When it came to our purchase, Andrew really helped us weigh out the value of where we wanted to buy. He listened to our needs and our desires. He offered great insight and brought up talking points we would have never addressed, despite whether it made us second guess the purchase or not. He sincerely wanted us to end up where we should be instead of just trying to close a deal. We ended up in a home and neighborhood we absolutely love. Ultimately, I learned through this process that not all real estate agents (or brokers in Andrew's case) are created equal. Many of them may charge the same rate, but the value they bring the table varies tremendously. I can honestly say that Andrew isn't just about making a buck. From the start you will realize this is a man who cares about his clients and making his business great through customer service, educating his clients and ultimately making their real estate dreams become a reality. I know that we were 10's of thousands of dollars ahead when the dust had settled all because of Andrew's expertise and strategy through the buying and selling process. Do yourself a favor and give him a ring; you'll know what I'm talking about right away. read more

Andrew William - Vantage Realty - Our new home! - Real Estate Agents Near Me - Newport Beach, California

I was really dreading the process of selling my mother's home. It was a very emotional time and I'd never sold a house before. While really listening and considering my wishes, Andrew took control and painlessly walked me through the process during a time of rising interest rates and a flux in the market. The buyer was turned down for a loan from their original lender, so Andrew stepped up and referred the buyer to a different lending broker who came through. Andrew is also highly knowledgeable in suggesting home improvement recommendations that allowed us to sell for the best price. I would be remiss if I didn't mention Andrew's professional and in-depth communication skills--they are top notch. Together with his assistant, Alexandra, they kept me informed of each stage of the process and were always available to answer my questions. I can honestly say that Andrew at Vantage Realty made a lasting impression on me and I would highly recommend him. read more

My realtor, Andrew Martinez, that sold my home in West Covina is nothing short of amazing!! Kitchen remodel was beautiful, and a more than fair price. Complete interior paint job that looks beautiful, new hardware, new ceiling fans, many beautiful upgrades that increased the value of the final sale, tremendously. Andrews contacts, Crews, and Andrew himself were all very thorough, professional, knowledgeable, on time, courteous. Any future sales will only be done with realtor, Andrew Martinez, and Elevar design. Thank everybody for your hard work and dedication. Ron Amos. read more

I don't ever write reviews unless it is truly deserving. Andrew Martinez is someone who goes above and beyond to sell your home. He has sold two of our properties in the past 5 years. Andrew exceeded our expectations with both transactions. Most recently, Andrew sold our home in about 3 months in a saturated market. He got us top dollar for our property. If you want someone who is 110% dedicated to helping you get the maximum value for the sale of your home in record time, Andrew is your guy. He was always readily available to answer any of our questions and address our concerns. He made everything so easy for us-- from staging our home, to finding reasonable vendors to make improvements to our home before placing on the market, to orchestrating top notch open houses to showcase our home. He has an excellent eye for detail as well as great negotiation skills. If you want a stress free experience with amazing results, Andrew is the realtor for you. We would use him again and again to sell or purchase a home. Update 2/2024: Once again we used Andrew to sell another property. He went above and beyond. He prepared and presented the rental property so well that we were able to sell at maximum value and in minimum time again! Andrew puts so much effort into getting you the most for your properties. I would 100% use his services over and over again!!! read more

Andrew is still helping me out five years later with questions I had about refinancing a home out of state. He provided excellent advice that helped me make a decision based on the amount of risk that I was willing to take (which isn't much!). I can't recommend him enough. He has grown his business to include many different facets of real estate from mortgage loans to design and remodels to investment and property management, in addition to buying and selling. Andrew's success and hard work are awe-inspiring. It's great to know I have someone I can trust when it comes to real estate. read more

Andrew Martinez far exceeded our expectations as our trusted Realtor. Prior to listing our home, Andrew came to the house and discussed the list price we were comfortable with based on the neighboring comps. We used the painter he recommended and an amazing photographer who did both professional photos and 3D video on our home. We were priced competitively and within 2 weeks, we had multiple offers on our property! Andrew promptly handled the negotiations for us and we had a quick and smooth close of escrow. We couldn't have asked for a better realtor. We had the best experience with him and we are so grateful for all he has done for us. read more

Andrew William - Vantage Realty - Real Estate Agents Near Me - Newport Beach, California

Doesn't take the time, discriminates based on job title. Wouldn't recommend using him as your realtor.

In what is the hottest real estate market of all time, our ultimate success in purchasing a home comes down to one thing: Andrew Martinez. As first time homebuyers, we were anxious, naive, and riddled with questions. Andrew was incredibly responsive, thoughtful, and careful to help us think through the potential of homes, while keeping us grounded in reality. While many have horror stories of buying a home in LA, ours was relatively painless which ultimately comes down to Andrew's work ethic and above all his tenacity. We beat 21 offers on our home because Andrew ensured we showed up to win. read more

It was my please working with Andrew Martinez & Vantage Realty. Andrew was a true professional and his priority was his client's interest. He was also able to accommodate an early closing date. I would definitely work him again. read more

I just completed my third transaction with Andrew representing my interest. Bought 2 properties and just completed the sale of another. Having Andrew represent me for these transactions the past 5 years has been a real pleasure. He is responsive, diligent extremely knowledgeable and cutting edge professional. I have seen his business grow during this time and am so impressed with his management skills and the level of competence his team brings to the table. My sale just closed about 2 weeks ago and literally without Andrew's steady navigation through some pretty rough waters (given recent market conditions) the sale would have never closed. Thank you Andrew and your team for another successful transaction and I look forward to our next business opportunity. read more

I am very impressed with Andrew's knowledge and attention to detail. Sadly I had signed a listing agreement to sell our Newport Beach home with another agent who I was not happy with but Andrew stepped in to help make sure the transaction would go smoothly even though he knew he wasn't going to get paid for it. Next time I will work with Andrew! read more

My husband and I recently decided to purchase a rental property and Andrew was our agent. He made things so simple for us and kept communication clear and easy. He helped us navigate through our options and was very knowledgable about our possibilities. He was always available to answer my many questions and kept us informed through every step. He even helped me with lease documents for our future tenants. I would 100% recommend Andrew and his team, and will use him for our future real estate needs. read more

I was helping to search for a reliable real estate professional for one of my good friends. They are a dime a dozen in Southern California. You never know who just has a license and who can provide legitimate counsel on the industry. Andrew guided one of my good friends on how to purchase, then coordinated her remodel, and helped her sell a short time after for profit. Many people these days are curious about real estate investments. Andrew brought insight to tax shelters and how to limit investment liabilities with the FTB and IRS. read more

Andrew was my realtor when I first bought my house last March 2021. He is a very professional realtor. He cares for his client, and he just doesn't want you to show/view properties, and then buy it if you want it. Andrew would point out all the pros/cons of a property all the way from the exterior to the minute details of the the interior of the property. He would spend time having a detailed conversation with you before you even view properties. He would assess your wants, preference, work location, background, dislikes, hobbies, financial capabilities, etc. and will give you a detailed advice of what he thinks would perfectly match your personality and the property you are going to view. His tenure on real estate manifests as soon as he gives you comments/advices about property, locations, and not to mention his vision on how you can make one property a real home. He won't waste your time; he is a very straightforward person and will tell you what needed to hear and what is the realistic situation/consequences. When we went to escrow, he had constant communication with them in the background, trying to meet some deadlines. Lastly, his negotiation skills was the best. I got a very good deal because of Andrew, trying to negotiate to the previous owner. read more

Southern California is an overwhelming realty market and every other person you know is a realtor. So, how do you choose who can help you find what's right for you? Well, we were lucky enough to find Andrew with Vantage Realty. My husband and I looked at homes on and off for over a year. Andrew never pressured us, never made us feel bad about changing our minds, and showed up with positivity and valuable knowledge each time we looked at new places. When we did find the right place, Andrew was able to negotiate a more than fair deal and guide us through the entire process. I would highly recommend Andrew to anyone who is out there looking for their new home. read more

Just got the keys to our home and couldn't be happier with our choice to work with Andrew as our buying agent. While the home buying process is inherently stressful and full of uncertainty, especially for a first time home buyer, Andrew helped us every step of the way and actually made the process fun. The positive reviews are accurate and after rereading Mike T's review, he perfectly sums up what I would say about Andrew and what he has to offer. Thanks Andrew for making our dream a reality! read more

Andrew is very professional and knowledgeable of the industry. He basically held our hand throughout our first home buying process. He always responded to our text messages and phone calls. He is very patient and always answered our questions thoroughly. We beat 21 offers to get our dream home and I know it wouldn't have been possible without Andrew. read more

We were so lucky to stumble upon Andrew! He truly was the perfect realtor, we couldn't have asked for more. Upon first meeting Andrew, you quickly learn how knowledgeable he is about the market which puts you at ease. As first-time home buyers it was very easy to get overwhelmed with all the details involved when purchasing a home but having a realtor like Andrew, who has your best interest in mind, is unquestionably a plus. Andrew helped ease our anxiety with all the information he provided us... We definitely asked many questions and Andrew always had the answer, his patience was unwavering. Andrew worked around our busy schedules and was attentive to the needs and wants regarding our future home; his attention to detail was infallible, he pointed out things that we would've never thought of or considered on our own. His guidance and resources are definitely priceless, especially while going through escrow; it was a quick and smooth process. We're so happy with our new home and it wouldn't have been possible without him, thanks Andrew! read more

Choosing Andrew as our real estate agent to sell our home is one of the best decisions my wife and I made. Andrew spent a few hours in our home. We got to know each other. He listened to us and our needs. We wanted to sell our home quickly so my wife and our boys would not miss the start of the school year. We let Andrew know that we reached out to Opendoor because we needed to sell quickly. We also wanted to find out if we could potentially sell our home for more considering the market. Andrew came to our home prepared with comps and shared his knowledge of the real estate market. He was able to answer all our questions before we even asked. Andrew was confident he could sell our home prior to the start of the school year. He let us know what we needed to do to ensure our home sold quickly. We made the decision to use Andrew rather than sell to Opendoor. Andrew quickly listed our house, scheduled a professional photo shoot of our home, and the house showings began. Andrew was able to sell our home nine days prior to the start of the school year. Our home sold above asking price. Andrew was transparent throughout the entire process. We are happy to have met him and to have had the opportunity to work with him. We recommend anyone who has an opportunity to work with Andrew do so. It could be one of the best decisions you make. read more

Andrew recently helped us buy a Condo for our daughter in Whittier. From beginning to end he was there to answer any questions and help us through the process. He is honest and hardworking. I would highly recommend Andrew to anyone who is looking for a great realtor with integrity. We now have a new friend and Realtor for life. read more

Andrew is a wonderful agent! He spent lots of hours taking my wife and daughter around looking for our daughter dream 'hut'.. when they came up with "the one" Andrew took us through the entire process one step at a time. Believe me there's a lot of things your agent does in your behalf.. Way more than I ever thought! Andrew will be our family agent for life! Trust him, he won't let you down. read more

Working with Andrew Martinez with Vantage Realty exceeding any of my expectations. As a first time home buyer, I was not familiar with the process. My partner and I had a few hurdles to overcome during this process. If it wasn't for Andrew Martinez we would not be in our beautiful home today. He was determined, motivating, knowledgeable. He was available to our needs day and night. He kept us in the loop. He relieved our stress level many times. We are forever grateful to have Andrew Martinez as our realtor. I truly believe his expertise helped us tremendously in our offer getting accepted. I would HIGHLY recommend Andrew Martinez to our family and friends. read more

Andrew was our real estate agent and represented my husband and I in purchasing our first home. From the first time I spoke to Andrew, and throughout the process he was always available for questions and consultations. Throughout the process of purchasing our first home, Andrew always gave great advice and recommendations. He is very knowledgeable, honest, and approachable, as first time homebuyers we have had a lot of questions, and he was always willing to answer all of them. He ensured that we were meeting all deadlines in order to close escrow in a timely manner. Even after our home purchase was complete, Andrew has followed up to see how the transition into our new home has been and even provided us with referrals for service providers to complete work around our home. We have had several family members and friends who were purchasing a home around the same time we were and in listening to their experiences with their realtors, we feel that Andrew far exceeds others and we are grateful he was our realtor. read more

Andrew is very professional in his work. My husband and I saw a home that we really liked and Andrew was helpful in helping us view it and apply for it. Unfortunately, we did not go forward with becoming tenants at that house but his professionalism and patience was commendable. I will highly recommend Andrew. He is a wonderful professional who is easy to work with and understands what his clients are looking for. read more

Andrew is focused on exceeding expectations in a transaction. His brutal honesty manages expectations and his budget analysis of cost vs. value are incredibly unique to Vantage Realty. He is THE choice for buying and selling residential property in So. Cal. He has successfully bettered pricing on three transactions for my family, for the surrounding neighborhoods. It seems the vast majority of agents and brokers consider one thing - how to maximize their own commission, without fully considering the maximization of the client net proceeds. Andrew is a rare gem in his consideration of 'client first' at all costs. He is honest, doesn't sugar coat the issues in the transaction and carefully negotiates a fair and thoughtful deal. read more

Andrew Martinez was the first agent that I called when I started looking for a house and that was the best decision I made. Throughout the whole entire process Andrew has been very reliable, professional, on top of everything and always there when we need him which is very hard to find these days. He is very knowledgeable and very good at what he does. Every time we look at a house he will teach us what to look for and what to avoid. Not only did he get us our dream house, he even went above and beyond to make sure we were happy and taken care of even after we got the house. He made sure we got a contractor when we needed one, a painter, etc. Thank you very much Andrew, for guiding us in this journey. We really appreciate everything you did for us. I will definitely recommend him to all my family and friends. read more

It was great working with Andrew to say the least! We felt very Blessed to have had him as our agent. Andrew is very knowledgeable, patient and honest. We never felt pressured to go in a direction we didn't want to. It was about a one year process to finally settle on a home, but Andrew was always available to help us and answer any questions we had along the way. I'd highly recommend Andrew to anyone looking for an agent to represent them on their next home ventures. read more

Couldnt give a bigger endorsement to our guy Andrew. Walked us through every step of the process and was always helpful. Extremely knowledgeable, very professional, friendly, and was always available. We can't say enough good things. Thanks again Andrew for everything. read more

Andrew and his staff are the best. My wife and I would like to thank him for helping us thru the process of selling our home and also purchasing our new one. We could have not asked for a better person to guide us thru a stressful process but he made it simple and easy. He really guided us thru from beginning to the end and still checks up on us after we have already settled down in our new digs. He is really passionate about helping out his clients and really cares. He really earned our trust and respect. A top notch professional and really knows what he is doing. He really does go thru the extra mile for you. We really do recommend his services and staff and if we where to do this again in the near future, we for sure will be calling to use his services again. read more

Andrew is an excellent real estate agent, with a great personality. He is very knowledgeable and responded promptly to all of our requests. He definitely exceeded our expectations, and helped us find and purchase our dream home in a very competitive market. read more

When you choose Vantage Real Estate, you cut out the corporate layers and greed factor associated with big-name real estate entities. Andrew Martinez is the corporation, and you'll deal directly with him and only him from start to finish. Andrew is confident yet humble, and you'll be hard pressed to find another real estate agent who is as devoted to his clients. You'll soon realize that helping a client purchase (or sell) a home is something deeply personal to Andrew. He genuinely CARES about his client's irrespective of their social or financial status. Andrew guided my wife and me through our first home purchase. He was there for us every step of the way; whether responding to texts at odd hours, setting up and meeting us for viewing appointments all over SB county, advocating on our behalf with seller's agents, or advising us at each turn. Neither of us knew much about buying a home when we first met Andrew. We found him to be knowledgeable and patient and appreciated his willingness to educate us along the way. We probably asked him some dumb questions at the outset, but he never made us feel that way and always replied with an honest and clear answer. There were some low points in the journey when we lost out on some bids, but Andrew was always there for us through thick and thin; working hard behind the scenes and ready almost at a moment's notice to line up viewing appointments and show us more homes. One thing I sincerely appreciated was the feedback he gave us about how we fared in a bidding process. We learned a lot from this feedback and became more comfortable with the entire process. Our trust in Andrew only grew as we began to understand and appreciate how well he represented us when dealing with a seller's agent. Andrew has keen instincts and in-depth knowledge about the home buying/selling process. He loves his work, and it shows. Andrew is always ready and willing to answer your questions and to give you his honest opinion, should you ask for it. He'll never pressure you, and you'll need to do some homework as well to know what questions to ask him. That said, and once you do ask, you'll soon discover the wealth of information and experience that has to offer. In my case, I wanted to know about every conceivable fee that I would encounter. Andrew was great about providing us that kind of information, whether it be specific fees or educated upper estimates. On several occasions, I asked him point blank for his advice on the offer price we had in mind for a home we were interested in buying. He always gave me an honest opinion as to whether he thought it was a competitive bid and sometimes even suggested how much more it might take to position us to win the bidding process. He's was always ready to help answer our questions and more! Apart from this, we also found Andrew to be quite knowledgeable about the home construction industry, home inspections, and financing. Almost from the very start, my wife and I quickly realized that we had a real pro working for us. We trusted him and became confident that our turn would eventually come, which it finally did less than two months from the time we started looking in earnest. We love our home and have great memories of the home buying process not to mention a dear friend as well that we made along the way! read more

My mother and I first met Andrew while searching for a new home to rent, and from the beginning Andrew and his team were extremely friendly and approachable. Andrew and his team were great at being organized, and communicating throughout the entire leasing process, and were consistently quick to answer any of our questions. During our buyer workshop Andrew did a great job explaining everything to use and answering our questions. My family looks forward to keep working with Andrew and his team. read more

Andrew listed my loft in DTLA and set record price per square footage for my building. He also helped me buy a new beach property all within a few months. He is very responsive, knowledgeable and negotiates the best possible terms. read more

I would like to take this time to express how grateful and satisfied I am with Andrew and his whole team at Vantage Realty. As a owner of two businesses myself I expect nothing but 100% from anyone I conduct business with, And I have to say I received 200% from Andrew and his team. They went beyond my expectations to say the least. Case in point woking long and odd hours Andrew was able to accommodate me even as late as 10pm at my home to go over documents step by step or strategies on the home purchase itself. Every time I put a call into him it was answered or returned within 30 minutes. My home purchase was quite complex being self employed, but Andrew reassured me during the process that he would handle all the loop holes in which he did. 2 months after closing and in the new home Andrew dropped by to follow up on the renovations and to go over some recommendations on upgrading the home. Perfect example of a true businessman that cares about his life long clients. So many times you hear of agents that make the sale then they are no where to be found, NOT IN THIS CASE. I have called him with ongoing questions about "after a home purchase" and he has answered all. He has the driving force that any successful business owner has and I see nothing but huge success for Andrew and Vantage Realty. I have recommended him to three other potential homebuyers with great results and feedback. Thank You Andrew and the Team At Vantage Realty. read more

It is with great pleasure that I am writing this review for not only a great friend but an amazing Realtor. Andrew was the first person I thought of when we were interested in buying a house. I knew Andrew was in the business and doing good but after going through the experience I realized all the work that goes into this type of business. Andrew is very dedicated and truly cares about the customer. I didn't realize the time and effort that is put into buying a house. I am forever grateful for Andrew's time,concern,advice,support and so much more during this process. He explained everything in detail. Very patient and understanding. He truly made a difference put things into perspective and got us our Dream Home. This would have not been possible with out Andrew and his resources. I highly recommend him to family,friends and anyone looking to sale or buy a home. Thank you for going the extra mile and making sure we were not only happy but financially stable to live out or dream! Thank you for your hard work and support! read more

I'm an attorney. I've worked with great attorneys and dealt with awful attorneys. The fact that you have a fancy title next to your name means nothing to me. Needless to say, I needed to be convinced that our agent would competently and effectively represent and advocate for our interests. I wanted to make sure I put my wife and I in the best position possible in not only finding the right home for us but assuring that the terms of the transaction were ideal. We interviewed 6 agents/brokers. Andrew William Martinez stood out above the rest. Throughout this homebuying journey, Andrew exhibited the expertise, work ethic and interpersonal skills necessary to maximize our bottom line. He was exceptionally responsive with answering the many questions we had and addressing the many needs we raised. He was able to explain things in a clear and concise way. He was patient and practical. He listened to our preferences and never tried to force or influence us in any particular direction. He highlighted important factors for us to consider so that we would make the most-informed decision possible. He treated us with respect and made sure we understood every aspect of the process. Even after successfully closing escrow, Andrew continued to provide us referrals for remodels and other resources for new homeowners. Andrew is a consummate professional with the character and pedigree to successfully represent your interests. He takes pride in earning your business and is exactly who you envision in a quality real estate broker. Thank you, Andrew! read more
