“We have several friends looking for homes and thinking about selling, and we ALWAYS and I mean ALWAYS recommend Andrea to them... ”
“We can't speak highly enough of our experience with Andrea Zeman, as first-time homebuyers with very little knowledge about how to find the right place. She is honest and hands-on (she has recommendations for everyone and everything) and she really helped to take the pressure off of us. We cannot believe that the process went as smoothly as it did. We looked at the house on my husbands 30th birthday and a month later we were in the perfect home for us. Andrea is extremely pleasant, empathetic, grounded, and is 100% focused on putting your needs first. Anytime a home came on the market that matched our criteria, she made sure we knew about it immediately. We never felt forced to make an offer but when we did Andrea walked us through every step of the negotiations, even suggesting that we write a letter to the sellers to explain why we thought they should choose us. We have several friends looking for homes and thinking about selling, and we ALWAYS and I mean ALWAYS recommend Andrea to them.
On top of being exceptionally good at her job she felt like a friend after the first showing and certainly is a friend for life now. She worked hard for us and never gave up even when we almost did. We are very happy to say we’re in our first home now, thanks to Andrea’s efforts and we’re very grateful. We absolutely love our new home. I would recommend Andrea to anyone who wants a realtor who will get them exactly the home you are looking for rather than quickly trying to "sell" you for a commission and move on. She will make sure that you not only find a house but your home! Andrea will be on your team every step of the way and she is your ONLY go to realtor for the San Diego area! Thank you so much Andrea for everything you’ve done for us and our growing family.”

“Andrea was wonderful the whole process of home buying. From looking for the right house (twice) to just checking out some flips to see what was done terribly (as a warning) she was patient and helpful with all of our questions and concerns. When the seller was not prompt to address problems or even have everything in order for inspections etc, she fought for us to close in a timely fashion and gain relevant credits for re-inspections and ensure that any found issues were corrected prior to close. She made a daunting purchase into a fun experience!”

“As first time home buyers there was so much we didn't know, but Andrea was there to make the process as easy as possible. She was available whenever we had questions throughout the whole process! She was always prompt to respond, and I feel she went above and beyond expectations. She was so helpful through out the escrow process ensuring we got the inspections we needed and the sellers were on top of their business, too. Whenever I hear of someone interested in buying/selling a house, I tell them they should use Andrea!”

“We've used Andrea to sell a property, and now also to buy one, and we couldn't be more impressed with her. We are always recommending her to anyone and everyone for their real estate needs. Andrea was trained as an engineer before going into real estate, and she brings the methodical, analytical, and no-nonsense brand of problem solving you'd expect from a mathematical mind to the work she does today. For the property we just bought, the market at-large was challenging and competitive. Beyond that, we were looking at a specific region and had particular desires for what our ideal property would be. Andrea quickly immersed herself in our search, helped us identify and tour multiple properties, and place offers. Then the real work began.
Andrea worked so hard to get us all the information we needed, to forge relationships with the other realtors, to ultimately position us to have our offer accepted, and then to continue negotiations when inspections inevitably turned up some surprises. This latest property was a HUGE project, but it's been an enjoyable from the beginning thanks to Andrea's insights, guidance, and diligence.”

“My wife and I purchased a home with Andrea during the COVID shutdown. She made us feel very comfortable, informed and assured throughout the whole process. Andrea is super organized and informative, we recommend her to family and friends.”

“My husband and I were referred to Andrea With Sand Castle Realty to help with our first time home buying experience, and she truly helped us change our lives for the better. We were impressed with her knowledge and expertise within the industry and all steps of the process- which we definitely needed to get us through our first time! She made herself available all hours of the day to answer questions, meet for walk thru’s, and Hand our new keys over, all with the utmost attention to detail, care, trust and patience. We had a couple hiccups along the way, as this was an emotional purchase, but she made us feel comfortable with the process. We highly recommend trusting Andrea and her team for real estate guidance- this gal knows what she’s doing and we could not have asked for a better person to help us! Thank you Andrea- we are so thrilled to be in our new home!”

“Andrea recently helped my girlfriend and I buy a new house. She quickly showed us several houses and we immediately fell in love with one of them which we ended up purchasing. Andrea is extremely knowledgeable and was able to give us good advice and walk us through all the step of purchasing a home. She was always very quick to respond to any questions we had and really stayed on top of the escrow process in order to keep it on schedule. Andrea also help me sell my town house. She did a great job of staging the unit and we ended up getting an above list offer in less than 24 hours. I would highly recommend Andrea if you are thinking about buying or selling a house.”

“My husband and I, who live on the east coast, wanted to purchase a condo in Pacific Beach. Our daughter who lives in the area, recommended Andrea . We could not have been happier with the entire process!. Andrea was our "eyes and ears" in finding the perfect place for us, without having to travel across the country to go through each step. She made all the arrangements for a tour, sending us videos of the prospective condo and made sure all our questions and concerns were answered in very quick fashion. Andrea worked closely with our mortgage broker in Buffalo during a very busy period. She was always on top of all the details and made sure all of the contingencies were addressed. Regardless of the time or day, we could contact her with any questions/concerns that arose and received prompt answers that made the entire process go as smoothly and easily as possible. She was a gem to work with and would 100% recommend Andrea to anyone!!!

“When my husband and I began our home-buying search we found Andrea through a referral, and could not be more thankful that we did! Andrea is extremely thorough in all her work, communicates clearly & effectively, and is always available for questions - and as first-time homebuyers we had a LOT of questions! Andrea devotedly helped us navigate every aspect of the home-buying process, from loan documents, HOA contracts, management companies, and down to the smallest details in each case. It is so reassuring to have someone attending to these important matters with a close eye, while also teaching us about each aspect. Andrea was always responsive to all parties throughout the process. She patiently answered every one of our inquiries, and we could not have been more impressed with her professionalism, expertise, and dedication. We cannot recommend Andrea highly enough!”

“As first time home buyers, we were hesitant, excited, and anxious all at once! Andrea was supportive and there with us through every step of the way. She was our greatest representative- from the negotiation process, to dealing with third parties and the HOA, and all of the emails that we sent to her with lists AND lists of questions - Andrea was the agent anyone would hope to have by their side. Not only was Andrea helpful and responsive, she was knowledgeable and so organized throughout the process (we had a super short escrow, and Andrea was calm, cool, and collected throughout it all).”
