Whether you are a seasoned real estate aficionado or a first time buyer, a longtime local resident or relocating from out of state/country – one thing is for certain – you probably will find DC-Maryland real estate to be fast-moving, competitive, expensive, and complex. And this frequently intimidates Buyers and Sellers.
I am proud to be a hands-on, top-rated REALTOR who enjoys working tirelessly for his clients to help them understand and be successful with any real estate opportunity or challenge, with a distinctively personal touch. Whether you engage me for an initial consult or are ready to dive in deep, I promise to help you understand and navigate local real estate successfully and seamlessly without any surprises or dealbreakers.
I absolutely love providing hands-on guidance + support to Buyers, Sellers, and Investors throughout Washington D.C. + Maryland neighborhoods, with a consistently high level of energy, enthusiasm, and successful outcomes.
While I’m honored to consistently be named a “Washingtonian Magazine Best Agent”, “Bethesda Magazine Top Agent”, and “Zillow & NRRB 5 Star Rated Realtor”, my BIGGEST honor is getting the opportunity to help dozens of interesting clients each year.
“We cannot say enough positive things about Andrew and the way he managed the sale of our home. We had to move out of state before our house was sold, so we entrusted Andrew with overseeing absolutely everything: repairs, cleaning, staging, landscaping, photography, marketing, and final negotiations. He managed the process flawlessly from start to finish, provided expert counsel when we had to make decisions, and kept our costs low. On more than one occasion he went above and beyond, after hours, to keep the process on track. In the end, we were rewarded with multiple offers and our home sold for more than twenty percent over list. We would recommend Andrew unreservedly to anyone looking to sell a home in the DC area.” ~ Client Review
“From the first message, he was extremely responsive, and worked hard to make sure he knew what we were looking for. Once we were ready to start looking at places, he continued to send us links and help us narrow down the options. Andrew took us on some in-person tours when we visited town and did some video tours when we couldn’t fly up. All were thorough and he gave us great advice and tips on things to look for. He really helped walk us through home-buying and made the process comfortable and less stressful than we had imagined. Highly recommend reaching out to him!” ~ Client Review
“We’re really thankful to have worked with Andrew to sell our condo in September. He advertises himself as a “hands-on realtor” and, let me tell you, he may actually be selling himself short there. He was with us the day before closing helping me to paint, caulk, and clean up our place. We were quite hesitant to put our place on the market given inconsistent sales in the building. Andrew confidently marketed the place, built the case for our listing price, and ultimately set us up for a successful escalated sale (with a backup offer in hand!). His communication is second-to-none, both with us and with his approach that helped us deal with a tricky tenant situation. He was able to meet us where we were, selling our place while wrapping up a lease with the tenant. His relationships, both in the industry and with contractor recommendations, were key to our sale, especially with such tight windows to show the place and turn it around for closing. We highly recommend Andrew – we’re grateful and lucky to have had a trusted partner like him in our corner from start to finish (did I mention he went and grabbed a smoke alarm and hand delivered it to the sellers at closing).” ~ Client Review
“Andrew was fantastic! My husband and I were only just beginning our home search when we were matched with Andrew. When we found the home we loved on our second house tour, Andrew helped us secure financing, scheduled an inspection, and put in an offer for us that was accepted fewer than 24 hours after our tour. Simply put, he was amazing – I’m not sure he sleeps. Thanks to his industriousness and knowledge of the local market, we are now settled in our dream home! Andrew has also been incredibly responsive when we’ve had questions after moving in. He’s honestly the best!! Can’t recommend him enough!” ~ Client Review
“Andrew is a fantastic realtor. He took care of us from the very start to well after the very end — we were new to the area, he immediately spent time with us understanding what would be a fit for us, and helped us find the ideal home. More than that, he spent a huge amount of time with us working out what improvements were and weren’t needed, and helping us make it happen. He very much has his finger on the pulse of the local real estate scene, and is spot on with assessing the market and likely house valuations. Also, he’s a great and fun guy to know.” ~ Client Review.
“I can’t say enough about how great it was working with Andrew. From our first meeting until settlement, Andrew had my best interest in mind. He did what he promised he would do during the entire time that the house was on the market. He dealt with complicated situations i.e. well pump breaking down, oil needing to be hauled away. I was no longer in MD so I counted on Andrew to take care of things vendors who had to be contacted. I put my trust in him, and was never disappointed. He earned my trust immediately. You can count on him through thick and thin. Everything he did was above my expectations. I don’t think I could have listed my house, moved away or gotten to closing without him. I made the right decision by choosing Andrew as my realtor.” ~ Client Review
