The Bay Area Real Estate marketplace can be daunting; competition is fierce, but that phone call where I get to tell my client their offer was accepted or that the deed is on record or when I get to hand over keys are the celebratory moments in real estate that I truly enjoy.
We had struggled to find an agent that actually listened to us, understood what we wanted, was OK with our slow timeline, and wasn’t going to pressure us. When we connected with Andrea, we knew we’d found someone who checked all the boxes. Andrea is super responsive, knows when to push clients and when to step back, and is on top of all aspects of a purchase. We’ve really enjoyed working with her so far. While we haven’t yet made a purchase (our problem, not hers), we’re looking forward to continuing to work with her until we do.
We worked with Andrea to sell our beloved condo in Jack London Square and had a great experience. Not only is she an expert on the area, she also guided us through the process and clearly had everything handled from start to finish. I loved how she showed up to our first meeting with an agenda and numerous documents to take us through to set expectations and make sure we were clear on what working with her would be like. I’ve never had an agent pay such attention to detail and make the process so easy on our end. The listing looked incredible and our property sold for above asking price, so we were thrilled with the outcome! I highly recommend Andrea for real estate in the Bay Area.
We recently worked with Andrea to sell our condo in Jack London Square, and we couldn’t be happier. She handled all of the details from start to finish and did a great job of guiding us through the process as a partner without being overbearing or smarmy. Andrea showed up to our first meeting with more than the typical glossy sales pitch; she brought data and spent time with us reviewing the numbers and her experience with the area. She clearly laid out expectations on everything from a timeline and costs to providing guidance on how to present and price our unit. When we unexpectedly had the opportunity to skip the typical staging/showing/listing process, Andrea made sure that all the details were attended to – we had a totally painless sale process from end to end. We are very happy with the results and highly recommend her work.
I don’t have room or words enough to describe how incredible Andrea was as our agent. Whether you’re buying or selling, just trust her. She is so knowledgeable, conscientious, proficient, efficient, diligent, thorough and yes, just fun to be with! Thanks to Andrea, my husband and I sold our SF house after 32 years of ownership for well over the asking price, in record time. When we first met with her in June, it seemed like there was so much to do before we felt we could be ready to list. We were skeptical of how everything could possibly be strategically timed for a proposed open house by Labor Day week. But with her guidance, expertise and many contacts, she just made it all happen! We sold with 10 offers on the table after two weekends of showings. Andrea guided us to the best offer and was coach, counselor, and cheerleader all the way to a speedy closing. Andrea Schlosser is the best real estate agent ever, and I count her as a friend for life!
Andrea was a pleasure to work with! Very knowledgeable and made the process easy! Andrea helped narrow our focus and we are extremely happy with our new home.
It was a great pleasure to work with Andrea! In very little time, she helped us navigate the very foreign real estate market of the Bay Area, after having moved from Minnesota. In fact, she helped us sort though what first appeared to be great prospects, but turned out to be choices that would not have made us happy and comfortable in the long run. She has an excellent ability to really hear the client and help navigate to the best solution. We found our dream home within only two months! If it had not been for Andrea’s keen strategy at one bid, we might have been stuck in a deal that was ultimately not our best choice.
We met Andrea at a showing and quickly felt comfortable enough to call her as soon as our place got on the market. For years I had walked in front of the building waiting until we had saved enough for a down payment. That same day I saw the for sale sign I called Andrea. She scheduled a private viewing before the open house. We had found what we were looking for. Andrea got to task! and kept all the pieces moving even when our crazy schedules sometimes ending up getting in the way.

Andrea has a rare combination of critical skills. She has incredible people skills, including being an excellent listener, great empathy and infinite patience. On the other hand she has really great task based skills. The combination gives her the patience to help you find the right neighborhood, then the right place in the neighborhood. Once you find a place that you like, her task-based skills allow her to facilitate negotiations, financing and all of the endless paperwork now required by banks. She used all of these skills to help us find our ideal home in the East Bay.. close to SF, BART and great places to eat, drink and socialize.
I’m so thankful that we had Andrea as our agent. I truly feel like we would not be in our dream home. As I type this, I am sitting on my beautiful patio and feel so lucky to be here. This was all made possible by Andrea!
Andrea sold our condo in five days–at a record-breaking price for a two bedroom in our building. She worked diligently and strategically to generate competitive offers and succeeded quickly in an unexpectedly challenging market. She was generous with her time and patiently mentored us throughout the preparation and marketing process with grace and good humor. We had a lot of questions for her, and she was consistently responsive and straightforward with her answers.
Andrea is a committed, hard-working, and experienced agent whom we recommend anytime someone tells us they are looking for an agent. She was patient and encouraging with us when the process was hard, which it usually is at some point trying to buy a house in the Bay Area. She is communicative, honest, direct, and cares about the people she helps.
Where to begin? Andrea was AMAZING. New to SF, we were going nuts trying to find a place to own, and after too many lazy realtors, who just wanted to meet me at houses that I had to find myself, we found Andrea. She quickly educated me on the “real” price that I should look at, because of the crazy bidding wars going on around here and not waste any more time looking at houses at the top of my budget- that would end up selling WAY over my limited funds.
Andrea was relentless in finding a buyer. TIC properties are challenging. She went the extra mile. She is a skilled and knowledgeable agent. She is ready to get in her work clothes and do what it takes to make a sale, at the price we were looking for!
