Andrea helped us tremendously while we were searching for our home, from the moment my wife and I had gotten a hold of her to the very end she was with us. Even after the sale, questions will be answered by her. It’s not the first home she’s sold our family and it won’t be her last. Andrea is honest and takes pride in her work. She helped us find the right house by listening to our wants and needs! The BEST agent out there, she comes highly recommended!

We worked with Andrea to sell our Hood River home recently, and were very happy with the experience. Beyond being extremely knowledgeable of the real estate market in general, and the value and appeal of our home specifically, she was effortless to work with. We sold our home while we were no longer in residence, and Andrea made the process of selling remotely straightforward.
She was proactive and responsive.

I (Rebecca) met Andrea through our kids becoming friends at a really young age. As I got to know her more I learned she was a real estate agent. So when I wanted to buy my first house in 2015 I reached out to her. I was completely clueless about the process so Andrea not only took the time to provide advice, she invited me to a first time home buyers class she puts on with Directors Mortgage broker, Jeff Sacre who I highly recommend anyone use for the financial side. After the class I felt more at ease and confident in what I was doing.
By August 2015 I bought not only my first house but a brand new cute 1200 sq ft house in The Dalles for $179,000. A few years later in 2018 I decided to move into my husband Justin’s house down the street from me. Once again I called on Andrea for advice and guidance. We ended up selling the house for more than $300k! I took some of that money and invested it into Justin’s home, painted the exterior, changed light fixtures and added a third bedroom within the existing structure. A lot of what we did was based on advice given by Andrea on what can be done to improve the value of your home.
Then one year later on 2019 another opportunity arose. We had no plans on moving but Andrea informed us that a nice new neighborhood was being built in Odell. Both Justin and I are from the Hood River Valley and had always wanted to move back to the area. So we checked out what was only a frame of a house at the time and decided we were going to jump on it. Andrea was there every single step of the way with everything from the appointment to choose all finishes to staying in contact with the sellers to ensure we got everything promised. The house in the end was $443k with upgrades and a nice large backyard. Over time we invested money into the backyard by building a wrap around patio, large covering, shed and added an addition master suite to the house. This made it an almost 2600 sq ft home with five bedrooms and 3 1/2 bathrooms. The investment was right around $100k in total, again this was all things that added to the value of your home and a lot of guidance came from Andrea.
This year (2023) we realized we were not quite where we wanted to be. Our dream was to own a beautiful home with acreage in Parkdale where Justin spent the first several years of his life and I grew up. Nothing was showing up on the market that really felt right to us but regardless we let Andrea know of our intention of finding a place with land. Then, she let me know about a place about to come into the market and we immediately said as soon as it lists we want to book a showing. Because of Andrea we were the first showing and we were the first offer put in. Note that the offer portion was with the diligent assurance from Jeff Sacre at Directors, him and Andrea make the best team!
Once the offer was accepted we listed our home and sold it for $819k!! We made over $300k profit so we could afford our new home on 2.6 acres and remodel it! It was a lot of moving and physical hard work for the last eight years of my life but so worth it. I don’t believe I could have done all of this without Andrea. She is passionate and really cares about what she does. She wants to see her clients/friends grow and reach their dreams. She is someone you can always depend on for buying, selling or just getting advice from. She helped us make our dreams come true and now we get to look out the huge windows of our living room at the forest and mountains where we belong.

Andrea is very pleasant to work with, we never felt pressure from her which worked well with our personalities and anytime a home in our price range was available she let us know. Andrea is also realistic and honest, which we have great respect for. She kept us up to date on everything during our purchase and was always available to answer any questions or help guide us as first time home buyers. We would definitely recommend her to anyone and hope to work with her in the future!

Andrea is beyond amazing. I cannot express that enough!! My husband and I were looking to buy a house. I initially chose Andrea because she was my neighbor and such a kind person. She made me so comfortable. I feel like that is really important. Buying a home is time consuming, and there is a lot to it. However Andrea made it as simple as it could ever be. She thought of everything, and guided us through each step with kindness and efficiency. She also let us know if she felt like something wasn't a good fit for us. It felt like she was helping us find a home. Not a person out to get a buck. If you want a kind, honest, patient person; Andrea is the best way to go.

Andrea did such a fantastic job with selling our home five years ago and helping us purchase a new home that we, of course, went straight to her when it was time to sell again this year. No matter how busy she was, Andrea consistently made us feel like we were her only clients. Andrea was knowledgeable, calming, connected, and ready to take on all the challenges that popped up along the way. Hire Andrea and you will get the best… it’s that simple.

Andrea, is with out a doubt a five star agent to be sought out while in the journey of buying a home in the beautiful Columbia River Gorge! Her hard work, determination and down right excellence and endless knowledge landed us our first home. If it wasn’t for her, we’d still be renting rather than investing in our family. If you’re looking to get into the right home for your family, honestly, look no further than this amazing woman! Thank you, Andrea! You’ve been the concrete to our foundation for our growing family.

Andrea was amazing!! We were selling at a very busy and stressful time. She kept us completely informed of what was happening, managed all the details, even ran errands to take care of things and keep our transaction moving so we could focus on work. I used her to sell and by another place and she coordinated everything.... even helped me pick out paint colors. I wouldn't even consider using another realtor in the future... she's professional and goes above and beyond.

The initial lender we chose was terrible and when I went to Andrea with my concerns she right away got us to a better local lender at Directors Mortgage. She had already shown me that I could trust her so I trusted her recommendation to use Directors Mortgage. That lender turned out well. She was always there when I needed her and spent time educating me knowing that this was my first time buying a house. She answered every question I ever had. Andrea was very good about checking in with me, the listing agent, the lender and whoever else she needed to work with to ensure I got the home I wanted. As long as she is in real estate I will continuously recommend her to anyone!

Andrea replied promptly to every email or phone call we made. Even after hours, she would reply. She gently helped us prepare our home for photos and for showings. And she went 'above and beyond the call of duty' to help us finalize a sale. Since we moved out of country before the sale came about, she also learned about the legal complications of international transactions! Thank you, Andrea!

Selling a home can be stressful! Andrea's personable and professional demeanor was reassuring. Her attention to detail created a sense of confidence. We knew Andrea was the right agent for the job! Because we were relocating we were eager to sell. Her knowledge of the area and market trends really worked to our advantage. Her market analysis was on point. Within a very short period of time we received a full and fare price offer. She kept us informed throughout the listing and sale process and was available to answer any questions as they arose. We would highly recommend Andrea to anyone in need of Real Estate services.

Andrea was very good at keeping us informed during the process. She had a good working knowledge of local values and what we could expect to get from the sale of our property. Andrea worked hard to help us come up with and negotiate a fair price. She was instrumental in making the transition from the home we had lived in for nearly 30 years into our next home as smooth as possible. We were very happy working with Andrea.

Andrea is a thorough and helpful agent. She walked us through the buying process, helping us understand our options along the way. She worked closely with our lender and kept us informed of developments along the way. She also made constructive suggestions while considering our needs, when it came to offer negotiations. I would highly recommend working with Andrea!

Back in 2012 my wife and I moved from Hood River to Portland for an exciting job opportunity. We wanted to sell our house before leaving, however because of the slow real estate market it just wasn’t possible. Since that time we had been renting out our home, which was stressful with all the other demands on us - being parents, working full time, going to school and being so far away from the property. In addition to being stressful, we were losing hundreds of dollars every month on the home and struggling to pay the mortgage. We knew if we continued to rent out the home, it would be impossible for us to move forward financially or seek another home for our family in Portland. When we finally decided to try to sell our home again in October 2014, we knew that this time it had to be a success as we could no longer afford to lose money every month. Thankfully, we took comfort and courage in knowing that Andrea was going to be our relator. We had known her professionally for the seven years we had lived in Hood River and had sought out her advice and guidance many times. We knew that with all we had riding on selling our Hood River home, we needed someone capable, hardworking, and honest. Not only was Andrea willing to take on the challenge, she was excited to do so. When we talked to her about it in the beginning she was optimistic and excited. She was also very real with us about the listing and the process. She warned us about the market and the challenges that were ahead, however she never wavered on her determination to sell our home quickly. I went into this transaction with full confidence in Andrea because of her support over the years, kindness, willingness to help, full disclosure and knowledge of the market and our situation. Throughout our process Andrea treated us like we were her only client. Although she was very busy with multiple transactions and other obligations, I truly felt like we were her only client. She returned emails and phone calls immediately and she moved very quickly on getting our home on the market and shown. There were trying times throughout the process and even times I was extremely discouraged, but I knew Andrea could not be working harder for my family. Because of Andrea’s confidence, resilience, knowledge, persistence, honesty and organization, we were able to sell our house within three months. The amount of paperwork, phone calls and emails that had to be taken care of were enormous and Andrea never faltered in her enthusiasm or motivation to sell the home. Even after the sale of the house, there were some questions that came up with the buyer and I felt completely helpless, but she was there to help us out. For two weeks after the sale when I had a question about something she was there to return my call, email or text message…even over the holidays! She even worked with the local companies in Hood River to help us out after the sale of the home. There is no doubt in my mind that Windermere Hood River is a better place because of Andrea. She truly is a one of a kind individual and an excellent relator. We would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a realtor with integrity and with the drive and determination to make even the most unlikely sales possible. Thank you Andrea for being the person and the professional that you are! We won’t forget the hard work you put into helping us sell our property! Sincerely, The Springer Family

This was the first time I was buying a home and Andrea really was able to walk me through the whole process. From answering some very simple questions to being very responsive to any inquires. She was a great help and had a great personality that helped with keeping me calm.

This was our first time buying a home and Andrea was absolutely amazing! The house we ended up buying was not even one we had considered but she told us it was everything we wanted and she was right! We were on a very tight time crunch to get into a home, her and our mortgage specialist worked so hard at getting us in by the deadline and they did it! Andrea is so helpful, very responsive, and always available. She is trustworthy, honest, and reliable. We will be recommending her to anyone going into the home buying process!

As 1st time home buyers, finding the perfect house for my family was very important. I was very overwhelmed and nerve wracked with such a big and important purchase. Andrea made me feel like she lifted mostly all the weight off my shoulders. She made us feel at ease and comfortable. She was very knowledgeable and caring. She listened to what we needed and provided. She made suggestions and recommendations. We did not feel rushed or pushed into a home. We felt like we were looking at homes with a friend and truly felt that she was out to find the perfect house for my family and I as well. She went out of her way with no hesitation to get us into the home that was just perfect for my family. Thank you Andrea! I would highly recommend her a thousand times over.

Andrea is Awesome to work with. She what's honest and best for you. She helped me with my father's home. It was an extremely hard time for me. She went way above the call of duty, to be there and sell dad's house. She never let me down or faltered in any way. I trust her. Thanks to her I made it through...

Andrea made our experience as first time home buyers easy and stress free. Having never purchased a home before we anticipated the whole process to be stressful and daunting, but Andrea's knowledge of the area, housing market and home buying process helped us rest easy. I would HIGHLY recommend!
