Andrea has helped both my daughter and I with several real estate transactions and she is always pleasant, knowledgeable and hard working! It is obvious that she has years of experience from the many suggestions she makes and tips she shares. You honestly couldn’t find a better partner and advocate when buying or selling real estate.

My sister and I had the hard task of selling our parents house after our mom passed away and dad had to stay in assisted living. Not only was Andrea compassionate, but extremely knowable and helpful! She helped us in every aspect of the sale of their home from beginning to end! I highly recommend Andrea if you are in need of selling or buying a home!

Andrea is an excellent broker! She's friendly, caring, and patient. She walked me through each step of my home buying from start to finish, providing details I never would have thought of. I appreciate that Andrea has stayed in contact since I purchased my home, providing tips and suggestions, i.e. applying for various homestead exemptions. I will definitely use Andrea again for a future buy/sale and refer her to anyone in need of a great broker!

Andrea sold our old house in 2023 and helped us buy another one at roughly the same time.
She took care of everything that came up, coordinating the photographer, gave guidance on buyer's home inspections and even Radon testing.
When my son was away at college, she arranged for a viewing of the new house so he could come see it.
She offered us movers, and a real estate attourney.
She gave guidance on what to fix / not fix around the old house, and what to remove / declutter / de-personalize the house.
Learned what to price the house at with comparables in the neighborhood on the selling house, and how to deal with a brief bidding war on the new house (which we won!)
She handled all the above details (especially when we, bought a house that we really liked before selling our existing one), so she did fantastically in setting our minds at ease that, the old house was in good condition, the inventory for that type was low, and that it'd sell fast. And it did in days. This allowed us to scoop the new house up in a hot market, then sell our old house in days.
Andrea is very knowledgeable, hard-working and a pleasure to do business with.
We would use her again in a heartbeat. She is absolutely a good resource for us.
We already have recommended her to friends, and they've sold one property together already. We recommend her to anybody we encounter needing a realtor.
Finally, I want to end with, how well she is about communicating everything, getting answers about every question, and making sure you understand everything, and keeping you on track, especially we had to get ready for two closings. Her communication skills are a big factor in so many ways; that makes her stand out. Others would just do the bare minimum things, whereas she'd be always thinking one step ahead of you. That's above average. She'd answer questions that you didn't even know to ask, and for that we are forever grateful.

Nothing but praise for Andrea Callahan. We were not familiar with the area so we relied on her to steer us to the best location for what we wanted. We found the perfect home and could not be happier! She was excellent throughout the process. She was always available to answer questions and get us the information we needed. She continued to help us get settled even after the closing. We highly recommend her!

Andea Callahan was fantastic!! If you need a realtor that is honest, caring, supportive and dedicated, then Andrea is your realtor! It was a very stressful time for me selling my parent's home. Andrea made the whole experience stress free and easy! The process was smooth and she always acted in my best interest. Andrea provided valuable guidance throughout. She is extremely knowledgeable and had so many great contacts to help me. She seemed to always be available when I needed her and was always very responsive. When it came to my parent's house she made sure the house stayed clean and secure. She is a skilled negotiator and we were so happy with the sales price.
I also had a house out of state to sell. Andrea helped me find a great out of state realtor. She still stayed involved through the whole process.
She deserves a 10 star review!!

Andrea helped me buy a house and at the same time my brother passed away. I had to trust someone 100% Andrea took everything off my plate she could and explained multiple times what I needed to do or put together for my lender. I cannot thank her enough for being there for me. Could not have done it without her.

Andrea is a seasoned realtor with her clients best interests in mind. She is focused, approachable, smart & knows the current market! She has sold 2 of our homes, and found their replacements which took the anxiety away! I would definitely advise you to use her for your reality needs.

Andrea is the best! She is very patient, informative, professional and supported me every step of the way. Very successful sale and purchase, and I would never use another realtor after my great experience with Andrea.
Ease of reaching staff
Very easy

As first-time homebuyers, we had no idea what to expect, and honestly, the whole process felt pretty intimidating. From the very beginning, Andrea made everything feel simple and stress-free. She took the time to answer all of our questions, explain every step, and made sure we always knew what was going on.
Buying a home can be overwhelming, especially when you've heard stories about how predatory parts of the industry can be. Having someone we could truly trust made all the difference. We always felt confident knowing Andrea had our backs and was looking out for our best interests.
We couldn't have asked for a better realtor or a better experience. We're so grateful for everything Andrea did to help us buy our first home, and we would recommend her to anyone.
