We were in the market for our second home. Josie made buying very pleasant and she was able to get it done in record time. She went beyond the call of duty. She was very helpful and she broke down and explained everything like no other. She is awesome and I highly recommend her. Thank you from the Rivera's. read more

I highly recommend Josie Andrade, for any real-estate needs. She works very hard and goes beyond to find what you are looking for. I used her services several times and am very impressed with my results. read more

Josie called my cell phone number asking to speak to someone without fully explaining why she needed to speak to that person. Instead of answering my question, she repeatedly asked the same question. After being asked repeatedly, she said that she wanted to know if I wanted to sell my house. She mentioned that we've been in contact before and we haven't. This is a pushy form of cold calling that shouldn't be happening. Further, if you call First Team's corporate number on their website, it doesn't work! There's no form of proper contact information on First Team's website! No, I don't want to sell my home and I'd never do it with someone who approaches me in this manner and tries to be pushy and get through. Cold calling is everything that we hate in America. Be respectful when you call someone and stop cold calling! read more

I'm so happy I don't know where to start. :) When my husband and I met Josie Andrade we knew she was the one. Josie made us feel welcomed and we were comfortable every step of the way. We worked with Josie on two different transactions at the same time! We sold our primary home and purchased our dream home. Honestly, we were afraid of all the things that come with the process but Josie made us feel at peace when she reassured us she would lead us every step of the way. Which she did! She was always on top of everything, very organized and very fast at responding. We admire her hard work but mostly the relationship she builds with her clients. Josie Andrade & Associates are absolutely amazing. We can't stop bragging about how much we love Josie and her team. There is no doubt in our mind that she will be the first one to know if we decide to purchase another property. Wishing Josie Andrade & Associates continuous success. Joshua and Alejandra read more

I don't normally write reviews but this was a must. Josie was recommended to me by a friend. My experience with Josie from the first time I spoke to her on the phone was amazing. She is very knowledgeable, honest, professional, ethical, and treats you like family. I love how honest she was so we wouldn't waste our time with a property that wasn't worth it. She really looks for your best interest and her attention to detail is immaculate. I also loved how she kept us informed every step of the way so we weren't left wondering "what now?". She is definitely a hustler, quick to respond, and she has some magic going on. We're were top 5 on so many offers. I recommended her to my cousin because I know she'll take care of them. We felt at ease having her on our side. This is a realtor you want in your corner. read more

This review is for Josie Andrade & Associates. A great team of professional individuals who helped us with the sale of our 1st property and simultaneously buy our 2nd home. Wife and I know how stressful buying a house can be but this time around the process was way easier. We listed our home and within a week he had 8 offers, the process of choosing the best offer and having a strategy on the purchase of our new home was a great team effort from Josie & Associates. They were very thorough in their research of the area and communicative with the various strategies that we could employ in order to sell and buy our new home. The constant follow ups on each step of process just kept our family at ease. I think it is critical to find a team that is professional and have an effective game-plan as buying and or selling is a big deal in everyone's life. You can not go wrong with this team. Josie & Team are great to work with, they come with my highest recommendation and we will not hesitate to referral them and use them in the future.. Thanks Josie Andrade & Team for the great work !!! read more

Purchasing a home can and will be the most exciting, but yet most stressful moment in your life. However, the process can be easier when you have the right team. Josie and Associates went above and beyond to assist me and my fiancé purchase our first home. We recently closed escrow (April of 2020) and Josie was extremely helpful, professional, and she literally went 100 miles an hour to make us home owners. Josie has a wonderful team which includes a loan officer, Jorge Gonzalez who made the process easy and smooth. Definitely recommend that you give them a call if you are in the market to buy a home. Josie will definitely fight for your offer to get accepted in a market that is becoming really competitive. read more

Now that I have digested the entire home purchase process. I can truly say that I'm soo happy that I went with Josie Andrade & Associates. They truly took care of me and in more ways that I knew at the time. I honestly believe, if I had not gone with Josie Andrade and her team, I would not have completed our dream of home ownership. Her experience and combined with agile and modern solutions to market conditions is superb. Also, her proven track record I'm sure had a big part in obtaining and securing an accepted offer. As many of you know that 2020 was a competitive year as rates were at all-time lows. I feel that Josie and Team have a great grasp on the market and can help buyers like myself position them properly in making the right offer. Thank you Josie and Emilio and everyone on the F1rstTeam, from my family to yours. I hope if I ever have to go through the home purchase or selling process again it can be with you and your awesome team again. Best Regards. read more

Josie Andrade has been my Real Estate Agent for many years and has always exceeded my expectations! She listens and understands your unique situation, whether it's your first home, an upgrade or the purchase of a rental property. I would never make a move without calling Josie first. She will walk the neighborhood and talk to the neighbors in addition to checking all the comps to get the best deal for her clients... Additionally, her team is fantastic. She holds them to the same high standards she holds for herself and they deliver!! read more

I just purchased my first home with the help of Josie and her team. From our first conversation I knew she was the right person to help me with this journey. She asked all the right questions and really took time to understand what I was looking for. I never felt pressured and appreciated her professional insight on things I would not have looked at when looking at properties. She always responded to my questions in a timely manner and kept me in the loop during the entire process. Even after escrow closed she still followed up with me to see if I needed anything. I would definitely recommend working with her. read more

Before I leave my review on Josie Andrade and Associates let me just say that I hardly ever leave reviews. I have found that the service must have been exceptional and have completely gone out of there way in providing a service for me to leave a review. So with that said, my experience with Josie Andrade and Associates was beyond exceptional. My husband and I had a smooth process with our first home buying. Buying a home is a big step and I had a million questions. Josie had answers for all my million questions, she is very knowledgeable, and very experienced. She always took the time to explain every move. She is honest, a good listener, and treats you like more than a client. We where very comfortable and where at ease with this big step in home buying.

I know who I will be calling on my next real estate need. read more

Josie Andrade and Associates - Where do I begin? My family was in a place where we had to move and we went with Josie and her team to assist us. She had worked with other family members with whom she had a 20+ year history, helping them to buy two homes over that period. So her reputation was already established personally. I know other brokers that I could have worked with, but my wife and I decided to go with her. When we started, we weren't even sure if we could get a home, but she made it happen. She proved herself to be a tireless, driven, intelligent expert in the business who will work hard for you until the job is done. She is realistic about what can be done, but will also make sure you get the most for your money. She works with lenders who also deliver at the highest standard and will do everything they can to make sure you are pre-qualified and know exactly want you can afford. She will teach you not only about the home-buying process, but the local real estate market so be ready to learn . Emilio also worked with us and stepped in seamlessly to assist when necessary. If there are any special programs you can take advantage of, she will let you know. She is also connected with professionals if you require physical work, who are ready with the same professional and affordable standards. 5 stars, gold star, platinum, whatever the top mark is, she gets mine. You will only go right with Josie Andrade and Associates. read more

If there were 10 stars I'd give them all to Josie, Rene and the entire team!! If you've tirelessly looked for a true, talented team of realtors and have been turned away with no hopes or a crushed dream- look no further because this team was genuinely a stellar above and beyond team who really do make dreams come true. My mother spent 10 years dreaming of being a home owner, recycled through 8 realtors, went through numerous applications, loans and documents only to be rejected or ghosted. With the help of Josie, Rene and their service- they were able to seamlessly provide an opportunity and we became successful first time home owners. I cannot recommend them enough- they connect with their clients, they follow up, give clear direction to what is needed, provide support every step of the way and encourage you to positively look forward to a home you've always dreamed of! This is the dream team, no matter how small, how big your goals are- they make it possible. We are at tears in our new home and will forever undoubtedly remember Josie, Rene, Dora, Sandra and the entire staff. It has been truly a wonderful Christmas miracle! read more

Josie is the only person I would use to buy or sell a home. She's very professional with her and her team, they explain everything and break it all down for us to explain. read more

Josie helped us with the purchase of our first home last year Aug 2016. She is the BEST realtor in the business!! If you want to buy or sell a home you will totally benefit from her knowledge and expertise. She is very professional but also gives you the sense that you are working with a family member or friend. She would always call me back and answer all my questions (even the ones I would send her at 6am). Unfortunately we didn't begin our search with her. We wasted our time with a different agent for about 6 months and were honestly beginning to think that being a homeowner was not in the cards for me and my husband. Just as we were about to throw in the towel a family friend referred me to Josie. Turns out Josie had help her entire family with the purchases of their homes!! I new from the first meeting with Josie that we were in good hands. She has an amazing team behind her and within 2 months we were purchasing our first home!! I absolutely recommend Josie to anyone that is thinking of purchasing or selling a home. Buying a home is probably the biggest purchase you will ever make and having an honest hardworking realtor by your side that you can trust is so important for your success! Give her a call, you will see the results! read more

I cannot say enough great things about Josie and her team! Josie helped my husband and I buy our first home, she not only made the process feel easy but educated us along the way. She truly wants to see your family prosper! I have already recommended her to my brother who is starting the process of buying his first home with Josie. Take a chance with Josie, you will not regret it!!! read more

Josie isn't a real estate agent nor is she just a realtor - she is a trusted advisor. She's a true professional at what she does and loves it! We connected in 2016 after she helped relatives purchase homes and even though we didn't purchase until 2019, she remained available - willing to advise. She delivers a sales experience - understanding your needs and delivering the solution - like no other and we're glad we chose her. Also, her team and partners are easy and great to work with and not to mention our loan officer is a former Cavalier (HAIL TO THE RED AND BLUE)!! If you need a team that's going to go all in, we recommend Josie Andrade & Associates!! read more

I am forever thankful for Josie and her team, they definitely went above and beyond to make the process of purchasing a house fast and easy. I would 100% recommend to my family and friends. read more

This realtor is all business. She is in the business of making money and, as such, she does her best to close the deal. The people that work with her are friendly, but they have to go above and beyond reason to prove that I was qualified to get a mortgage. It would be helpful if, up front in this process, they could better explain how intrusive they would be and what US government rules they work under. I feel these people violated my privacy in doing this. They seemed to need to know everything including the color of my underwear. This being said, they are just following the procedures laid down by Fanny Mae, Freddy Mac, and HUD, who think you are guilty of money laundering until proven innocent by a paper trail. Good luck if you ever have to deal with these people. Things are NOT what they were when I bought my first home in 1971! This all being said, I have no animosity toward these people even though I feel like I was stripped naked and paraded thru the streets of Long Beach. If you have anything at all to hide, these guys will find it!!!! I am a very satisfied customer, and knowing what I now know, I would use them again. They were great!! read more

Josie Andrade is a very conscientious, personable real estate agent. She provided valuable guidance during the sale of my home. I was very happy with the price she suggested and would highly recommend her. read more

We needed to sell my Mom's home in Norwalk that she lived in since about 1963. And we needed to sell quickly to help pay for Mom's Long Term Care. Not knowing what realtor or company to choose, I went on the internet and selected Josie Andrade with Berkshire Home in Norwalk. It must have been my lucky day. Upon meeting Josie, I found her to be very knowledgeable, very gracious, easy to talk to; and above all she was very patient with the many questions I asked. I couldn't have found a better person to assist in selling my Mom's home. The first Open House landed us with the Buyer for Mom's home. I really appreciated the way Josie kept me up to date throughout the process. If anyone is looking to sell or buy a home, I would highly recommend Josie. She made the experience for us easy and pleasant with her expert guidance. Her staff in the office Sandra and Melody also were great, and very helpful. read more

My husband and I just bought our first home and we owe it all to Josie and her amazing team. As first-time home buyers, we didn't know what to expect. We had always heard how stressful it is to purchase a home, especially in LA. From beginning to end, it was a smooth process. Emilio did an excellent job scheduling home tours in a timely manner. He was very knowledgeable and honest. After every tour, we'd always connect with Josie to let her know our thoughts. Josie taught me so much about the real estate industry and helped us make the best decision for our family. We feel so blessed and grateful to have had Josie as our agent. She is professional, passionate, hardworking and an expert in her field. She is well-known and has a great reputation. She went above and beyond for us and got our offer accepted on our dream home. With it being a such a competitive market right now, I know this was not an easy task but she made it happen. The lender she works with, Rene, is also great. He was always available to take my call and answered any questions I had. We closed escrow pretty quickly. You are in excellent hands with Josie. She will take good care of you. Thank you Josie for making us homeowners! :) read more

100% professional! Josie definitely knows what it takes to sell a house! As good as she is, what I really appreciate is her willingness to help answer any questions about anything relating to real estate even if it does not directly involve her selling or buying a home in her area (we moved out of state)! It has been over a year since she sold our house and to this day she is still helpful! Thank you Josie! read more

Real estate professionalism at its best! Josie and staff managed the sale of my parents home with grace. It was a very delicate situation for my elderly parents due to limited physical abilities, but Josie sold their house with finesse. Unequivocal loyalty and end result of our business experience is a friendship. read more

Josie was transparent, honest, and the reason why we are home owners today. She worked extremely hard and went above and beyond on making sure we bought the right home for us. As first time buyers, we had many questions and hesitations about the process. She couldn't be any more patient, and resourceful. Glad she was on our side during the whole process. read more

My family and I have known Josie for about 13 years now. Josie helped me and my family purchase our first home in October of 2009. Josie and her team were very patient and helpful during the whole process. We have referred Josie to multiple friends and family members. She has found the perfect home for the people we have referred to her. She is currently helping my girlfriend and I find a home of our own. Josie and her team are very attentive and will answer any questions you may have. Buying a home is a big step and that's why you should trust Josie Andrade. read more

We have never had a better experience in selling a home than we did with Josie. She is very professional, yet makes us feel like friends. She was on top of everything - from staging our home to all of the paperwork and necessary phone calls. Our open house was wonderful, and from the time we engaged Josie to the final sale and move-out, she was always available and always did exactly what she promised. Josie made our move easier than any we have ever done. Josie is the best - thank you for all you do! read more

This was my 1st time selling my house and from day 1 Josie and her team made the whole process go very smooth and stress free and always made you feel that you are their top priority with any questions or concerns. If you are looking to buy or sell I highly recommend Josie!!!! read more
