    "Andrew's expertise in negotiation really shined through!"
    I have been lucky enough to work with Andrew twice now - once in the Fall of 2020 when he helped me find a home for my mom to purchase in Edmonds when she was moving to the area, and most recently when my wife and I bought our first home this Spring. Andrew is very thoughtful, patient, responsive,and so knowledgeable, and he has been an absolute pleasure to work with on both occasions. He always goes the extra mile. When we were in negotiation to buy our home, Andrew's expertise in negotiation really shined through, and thanks to him, our bid was the winning bid amongst numerous strong competing offers. In this extremely competitive market, we feel so fortunate to have had Andrew on our side. Our family is hoping for a lifetime relationship!

    "Andrew gets my highest recommendation."
    Andrew gets my highest recommendation. I just bought a condo with Andrew as my agent a month ago. As a first-time buyer who has only lived in Seattle for a couple of years before buying, I had a lot of questions about the market trends, different neighborhoods, the financing process, deal negotiations etc.Andrew was incredibly thoughtful and responsive; he treated my fiance and I as if we were his only clients. Whenever we ran into a potential issue or concern, Andrew was always ready with a plan for how to proceed to make sure that we were able to get the home of our dreams at an affordable price. We ended up finding a perfect place and thanks to Andrew's guidance, also got a good deal on it, which is rare in this highly competitive Seattle market.

    "We would highly recommend working with him to buy a home!"
    My husband and I could not have been happier with our decision to work with Andrew to purchase our first home. It was important to us to find a realtor who had deep local expertise, and who would help us to be successful in the competitive Seattle market without significantly overpaying; Andrew exceeded the bar in both those dimensions.He helped us to successfully purchase a home that we feel is a really good value and that checks all of our boxes. With his extensive background in residential construction/architecture, Andrew was extremely valuable to us as we evaluated properties that needed work done in order to determine whether each house would really be a realistic option for us based on our skill levels and budget. Despite what felt like a daunting real estate market as first-time buyers, Andrew made the whole process easy to understand and as stress-free as possible for us. He is super friendly and responsive, and we would highly recommend working with him to buy a home! We're very glad we did.

    "We recommend him very highly!"
    We are a recently retired couple moving back to Seattle after many years away. We found Andrew on the internet and met with him before we actually moved and found him to be personable, extremely informative and very helpful. So when we completed our move we began working with him. Andrew spent alot of time introducing us to areas that would likely be in our price range and explaining the situation to us as buyers in a very competitive market. He paid close attention to our reaction to houses and quickly had a good grasp of all the features we most wanted (or didn't want) in a home. This became invaluable as the weeks went by, as he could preview a home for us and let us know if he thought it fit our needs well enough for us to visit it ourselves. We ultimately bid on three different houses, and Andrew was excellent at making sure all the needed steps could be carried out within the very short time window to bid (around a week). He arranged for the inspections we required; walked us through the formalities of submitting a bid as well as the process owners went through to arrive at which bid was ultimately chosen; and made sure our bids were submitted in a timely way. He also kept us apprised of where we were in the process. Andrew's knowledge of home construction and maintenance was invaluable as we assessed to what degree repairs or upgrades might be needed on any particular property. He was able to guesstimate the cost of likely repairs, as well as to refer us to numerous contractors and other specialists once our bid was selected. Even after escrow closed, Andrew has been providing suggestions for contractors to get some of the needed work done on our new home. Andrew has been great to work with because he is straightforward about what he sees as a property's good qualities and flaws, as well as about what he thinks a home will likely sell for (all are substantially above the asking price in this crazy market). He has a great sense of humor and we felt comfortable with him right away. His manner is casual but he is completely professional in his work. He was always accessible and very responsive (esp. via text), and if he didn't have the answer to a question he immediately got the answer from the right source. All in all, our experience working with Andrew was very positive. We felt we were getting good guidance all along, that he listened to us and was able to steer us toward properties we would be most likely to seriously consider, and that he wanted us to find a house that we truly felt good about. We recommend him very highly!

    "He saved us from many homes which had hired skilled photographers and/or stagers!"
    We were attempting to buy a house from the Midwest and Andrew willingly investigated a ton of homes during out extended search. The personal video tours he provided were key for helping us make decisions. He saved us from many homes which had hired skilled photographers and/or stagers.Andrew also made himself available late into the evenings, 7 days a week. We lost a few homes in bidding wars but we were impressed with Andrew's accurate assessments of where the final price would probably land. At no point did we feel pressured to extend beyond our comfort level. We are very pleased with our new home and grateful for Andrew's patience guiding our first home buying experience.

    "He expertly leveraged his knowledge of the market, as well as his background in architecture and construction!"
    I've known Andrew for many years, so when it came time for me to buy my first condo I decided to offer him the job, and I'm very glad I did. Andrew made every effort to make sure I was comfortable with and aware of everything that was happening at every stage of the process, as well as what to expect next.When we first started looking at properties, he very quickly picked up on what I was looking for and the listings he showed me just kept getting better and better. <br/><br/>When I did decide to make an offer Andrew was exceptionally prompt at getting it put together and submitted. He expertly leveraged his knowledge of the market, as well as his background in architecture and construction to ensure I was getting a good property for my needs at a good price. His negotiations were also stellar, figuring out ways to get me the best deal while still making it a competitive enough offer that the seller wouldn't walk away. Will use again.

    "He is very professional and fun to work with!"
    I worked with Andrew for almost 11 months to finally get the townhouse fitting for my budget and taste. This was my first home buying experience and I didn’t know anything about the whole process. Andrew started with educating me about all of the home buying steps, then he carefully noted what I was looking for.Next, he showed me a large portfolio of listings with different prices and characteristics to help me set my expectations. Later, he patiently showed dozens of townhomes to me during the next 10 months and he was totally objective with his opinions. He was very organized, prompt, and reachable when we needed to submit an offer in a very short amount of time or I wanted to see a unit. He was a great help during the closing phase as well. He was always on my side and protecting me as his client. He was involved in every stage actively and his bias for action solved some significantly important obstacles that I encountered during the closing phase. He kept checking if everything is fine with the house even after I moved in. Also, he is very professional and fun to work with. Overall, I feel very lucky to work with Andrew; without him I wouldn’t be able to get my home as smoothly as I did.

    "Andrew is professional!"
    As a first-time buyer and an immigrant, I highly recommend Andrew as a buyers agent for the following reasons. - Andrew knows the greater Seattle area very well. Obviously he has been in the area for a long time. I vaguely remember he said he grew up in the area. He knows Seattle very well,which is crucial for immigrants like me. In the beginning of my search, my targets were not clear. I could not make up my mind about the area, and even the type of homes I should focus on. His knowledge about Seattle helped me narrow down my targets, and finally found the home I love. - Andrew is professional. As a first-time buyer, I have a lot of noob questions. He set up a video call and educated me the process of home buying. He tried his best to answer all my questions thoroughly with patience and care. He is never impatient even when I asked repetitive questions during the home tours. Andrew significantly alleviated my anxiousness to buy a house for the first time. - Andrew never pushes the clients to increase the offer. Everyone has different preferences. An agent should never push the clients to make an offer just to get the commission. Unfortunately, we still hear or see agents like that from time to time. In contrast, Andrew wants the buyers to get the homes they really love. He even advised against making offers to houses that are not worth it. He advised something like: "this house is XXX at most", "I would not make an offer on this one", "This one would not be competitive", or "We should walk away from this one." (These are probably not his exact words.) - Andrew responds, quickly and professionally. In such a market, we often need to discuss and to make decisions quickly, which requires the communications between the buyers and the agents to be quick and clear. It sounds simple, but it is not easy and Andrew is good at it. Once I changed my mind and decided to make an offer on a home in less than 12 hours. Andrew still made it happen! I can make many more bullets, but you know what we mean. I highly recommend Andrew as a buyer's agent.

    "Andrew is everything you would want in an agent...and more!"
    Andrew is an all-star agent. From his passion and expertise on all things involved in real estate transactions, to his responsiveness at all hours, you can't go wrong working with Andrew. Andrew's experience in high-end building (and his degrees from UW in architecture and construction management)set him a part from other agents. He's not only a master of keeping track of the details, but also helped me imagine what my house could look like with some minor remodel work. Andrew is everything you would want in an agent...and more!

    "We highly recommend Andrew to anyone looking to buy property in the Seattle area."
    Andrew was referred to us by friends who had just worked with him to purchase their first home. They couldn't speak more highly of him -- and after working with him, neither can we. As first time homebuyers, Andrew alleviated our anxieties with his calming professionalism and thorough approach.He walked us through everything in detail and made sure we were aware of all requirements at each step of the process. Andrew was a true partner throughout. He listened closely to what we were looking for while also adding his own market and construction expertise to the conversation. Because of this we had honest conversations about each property to help better inform our decision. At the end of the day, we always knew he was on our team. We highly recommend Andrew to anyone looking to buy property in the Seattle area.

    "Andrew is honest, hardworking, and confident!"
    We were looking for a rental house for our son in Shoreline. Since we are living in Hawaii and Covid-19, we needed a good buyer representative. We found Andrew Schein on Zillow and we had a Zoom meeting at the very beginning. We immediately felt we could trust Andrew,and we relied on his knowledge about houses and the Seattle market. Andrew is honest, hardworking, and confident. We found one house and want to know more about it. He drove to the house and took a video and told us the house is not good for us. He explained the reason very well. We found 5 more houses on Zillow, but Andrew was on vacation. He had a co-worker show these houses to my son. We picked our favorite house out of these 5 and asked several questions about the house. Despite being on vacation, Andrew drove back to Shoreline and took video and answered our questions. He was so nice and willing to help us. We decided to make an offer for the house. He never pushed us to make a quick sale. We really felt comfortable to ask any questions. He was very communicative and effective using texting and emailing. We made an offer and waited for the seller’s response. We signed everything online. Our offer was accepted, and he found building inspector right away. Andrew is well connected with local specialists. He found an incredibly good inspector and his report was excellent. We could not see the house in person, so we needed to rely on the inspector. Andrew helped us made a counteroffer based on the inspection report and it was successful. The closing was very quick and easy. Andrew was on top of everything. After closing, we needed floor repair and an electrician right away. Andrew recommended several contractors which was extremely helpful. They all knew Andrew and we could tell Andrew was respected among these professionals. We are using Andrew’s recommendation. We plan to fix the house the best we can. We know Andrew will be around for us when we need his support. We highly recommend Andrew to anyone who wants to work on a housing project. There is no way to find the perfect house, but you can come a long way with the help of a person as capable as Andrew.

    We had a great experience with Andrew! He knows the Seattle area very well and introduced us to all of the neighborhoods we were interested in (and even some we hadn't been!). After our first few open houses he really got an idea of what we were looking for and helped steer us in the right direction during our search.He was great at guiding us as we put in offers on homes - giving sound advice while setting realistic expectations. Andrew is a fantastic realtor and a smart, funny guy! We would highly recommend.

    "Couldn't have asked for a better experience!!"
    I can't say enough about the service provided by Andrew Schein - I would absolutely recommend him to anyone seeking an agent. Selling my first home was a new experience in and of itself. As I also happened to be relocating out of state while doing so the challenge was only furthered. Andrew's coaching,guidance, and execution couldn't have been better. I received knowledgeable guidance, great insight on areas to upgrade/repair, and solid instruction. Ultimately I received an offer within the first week and closed without issue. Incredibly smooth process at the price anticipated. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.

    "I would recommend Andrew for any real estate purchase you may be considering!"
    We have been working with Andrew a couple months as our "buyer's agent" as we looked for a new home in Seattle. He did a great job with setting up a regular MLS automatic search that was very helpful in finding good candidate homes for us. We wound up finding a view home in Edmonds and Andrew helped in our offer strategy to negotiate a good price.He also facilitated some inspections and arranging a contractor to review a number of items so we had a good handle on the costs involved as we went the final negotiations post-inspection. Andrew was always very responsive and very knowledgeable on the process and how to approach the negotiations very strategically. I would recommend Andrew for any real estate purchase you may be considering.

    "I highly recommend Andrew for anyone who needs to buy or sell a house!"
    Andrew helped me sell my existing home in conjunction with buying a new home. Andrew's dedication and expertise in helping me find a home was beyond what words can describe. I am extremely happy with the home that I now inhabit and I doubt that many other agents could have guided me through the extremely aggressive Seattle real estate market to end up here.It took me 9 months and multiple offers to eventually land a home. The process called upon many of Andrew's skills in property discovery, price negotiation, and structural assessment. I've worked with professionals of many kinds in both my business and my home life, and I would not hesitate to recommend Andrew as a real estate agent. He is up to date on the latest technologies (which helped me get a jump on my current house a few hours before the competition). He has a unique ability to both understand my needs for a house but also help me consider a range of options for arriving at the kind of house that my family needed (buy, build, remodel). In the end, I ended up at an extremely unique property with which I am extremely happy (new construction, built green, walkable, more bedrooms than I expected). I highly recommend that you work with Andrew to purchase your next house. When selling my existing home, Andrew was incredibly responsive to my needs and adjusted his target price to match my expectations for what my home was worth. It ended up selling for the higher amount and I'm happy with how it turned out. Andrew's background education in construction came into play when we made a few last minute enhancements to the house, not to mention his abilities in coordinating top notch staging and photography. Overall, I highly recommend Andrew for anyone who needs to buy or sell a house.

    "We would work with him again in a heartbeat!"
    Working with Andrew was a great experience. Not being from the area we desired an insiders viewpoint to the growth and changes, history, neighborhood details as well as ins and outs of older homes (furnaces, windows, duct work, remodel pros and cons). While Andrew is humble enough to refuse beingregarded as an expert; he was able to curb any unsubstantiated concerns or caution us when it was warranted. We found a house in the area we loved for a price we could stomach and in Ballard that is a pretty steep request! We would work with him again in a heartbeat and completely recommend him to anyone.

His follow up is excellent and instantaneous. And best of all, he's the rare professional who is also a pleasure to be around.We highly recommend him.

    "I really couldn't recommend Andrew enough!"
    Around the time we started looking for a home we saw a property and used Zillow's visit the property feature. A bunch of agents contacted us, left multiple voicemails, put me on mailing lists, called from unknown numbers and left vague voicemails, none about the specific property.Andrew left one voicemail explaining that the property was pending but they we should give him a call if we'd like to see other homes. I called Andrew back and eventually my fiance and I visited him in his office near Northgate where he went over the home buying process, his credentials and answered every (exhausted) question we had. He was very patient, knowledgeable and honest. With our budget, we weren't getting a craftsman in Capitol Hill, but we could get something in Seattle that met our needs with out breaking the bank. Over the next few months we saw houses that were nice but far away, fixer-uppers, small houses, houses in a flight path, flipped houses with a premium price tag for a mediocre paint job, and others my fiance and I just didn't agree on. When he sent us a houses that we liked, he met or drove us to the property in a day or so. I was really surprised initially when he would show us all the flaws, which he saw right away with his history in construction management. One house had a really interesting plank wall, which he showed us was not insulated properly and would likely affect our energy bills. When a house had an undesirable characteristic, he was very honest about the probability of changing it and how much it would cost. We eventually found a house we really liked that was bid out of our price range. Andrew was able get a pulse on the bidding process, and we didn't even submit an offer. We were disheartened, but we didn't have to spend any money. We even backed out of an offer that got accepted after the inspection showed a multitude of problems. Andrew communicated that this was just part of the process and we moved on. Eventually we found another place we liked. Andrew arranged a pre-inspection and we submitted an offer. There were almost 10 other offers on the place, but Andrew put together a really solid offer letter and it was accepted. While researching the home buying process I found that sellers sometimes didn't accept an offer just because the offer wasn't put together well enough. Less than a month later and a document signing arthritic hand later, we had the keys. I really couldn't recommend Andrew enough!

    "We are very happy with the house we bought. Big thanks to Andrew!"
    Andrew is a very professional and diligent agent. He spent lots of time with me touring properties in different neighborhoods around the city. He really listened to our priorities and passed on lots of new listings that matched our requirements. I work on weekdays,so most communications and house tours ended up in the evenings and weekends -- Andrew was always responsive to phone calls and emails and adjusted to my schedules flexibly. His good insights and experienced perspective into the market helped us make the right decision in a timely manner. He managed all steps of the offer process carefully and efficiently. We are very happy with the house we bought. Big thanks to Andrew!
