"Andy helped me buy my home in 2011 and helped me sell the same home in 2022. He was an amazing asset in both instances - knowledgable about the market, detail-oriented, and always a phone call away. He has a personal, individualized approach that makes you feel cared for and confident, even in this uncertain market. I cannot recommend him more highly!" - Whitney
