Nancy was very knowledgeable and knew things about the court proceedings before my lawyer. Thats what made me choose her. Was always in contact with me being out of state on the daily status of things.
My brother and I were heirs to my Cousin's home in Lakewood, CA. I live out of state and thought that would possibly be a disadvantage but Nancy did such a fabulous job and kept me in the loop on the progress of things - it made such a difference to know she was working so hard to get a great price for the home and she went above and beyond to do just that! I would recommended Nancy to anyone looking to sell their home or property - she's just the BEST there is!!! We have a number of family members in the Southern California area and I am going to inform them of the fabulous job Nancy did for us and to get in touch with her first if they are interested in buying or selling!
Would use her again in a minute
Over a decade ago, my husband and I started to look to buy our first home together. We lived through the home crises of 2009, and even when home prices were at their lowest, we just could not get our hands on one. The cash offers and hardcore competition out there made us feel like goldfish amongst sharks. Throughout those ten years, we found several homes and put in several offers but were not lucky enough to get the right broker to represent us and make it happen. We became frustrated and gave up hope altogether. But, in May of 2018, we randomly came across a windmill, or “sign” as I call it, which brought me back to my childhood in Brazil right here in the heart of Redondo Beach where our dream of owning our first home came true. When I was a child, my father used to build windmills as a hobby, and they became a trademark in our family. When I wrote my first book of poetry, a windmill also became the cover of my book. When I drove by the South Bay area and came across the historical Vetter Windmill that sits on the corner of PCH and Aviation Blvd in Hermosa Beach, I got this rare feeling that I was home, except that I did not own a home just yet. But I felt I had to start looking into buying again. I reopened the homes-for-sale app on my phone that very week and I found a home for sale in Redondo Beach, right by the historical Vetter Windmill. My husband and I drove by the nearby area: “Golden Hills” in Redondo Beach. By chance, Nancy Andreason, the listing agent for that property, was showing the house that morning. We stopped by and Nancy greeted us with the most pleasant smile and beautiful personality. I asked if she could represent us and she agreed to meet us. Where? At a local coffee shop right where the historical Vetter Windmill sits on the corner. At that point, I felt blessed by all the stars in the universe! They simply lined up and lighted up! We shook hands with Nancy, listened carefully to her wise instructions on how to gather important qualifying paperwork and put in an offer. In less than a week the sellers had accepted our offer and the house went pending. And in approximately a month, we became proud home owners of an adorable home that sits on top of the Golden Hills in Redondo Beach, just one mile from the beach. From up there, you can literally feel the ocean breeze! I am a faithful believer in trust, diligence, hard work and passion. And those are just a few of the words that describe Nancy’s work ethics. Nancy is the broker you want to have on your side and work with whether you are looking to buy or sell your home. She is intelligent, ethical, supportive and very informative during the process of buying, selling and during close of escrow. And you also will find her to be a friend even after you’ve closed on the house. Her trustworthiness extends beyond just a business deal. You buy the home of your dreams, but you also make a new friend. It is a win, win. Next time you drive around the vicinity of the Golden Hills, look out for our own windmill that will be proudly blowing in the wind in our beautiful home’s front yard! Finding an honest and diligent realtor made all the difference in the pursuit of buying the home of our dreams in America. And what a dream! Thank you, Nancy Andreason!
I spoke with and asked questions to at least 10+ brokers. I scaled down and interviewed three. After the interviews, I went with Nancy. She understood my wish for three plans of what do do with the house. (nothing, small changes and large changes). She and her Team were very professional and ready in just the first meeting to walk away and willing to get back quickly with her presentation of her three thoughts of what to do with my Father's house. Nancy and I met face to face once. All of the rest of the work was by email, text and phone. So she had to have a strong background and Team to work all of this while being 800 miles away from me. She even made it more comforting by sending pictures all the time of what new items popped up (Termite inspection findings) and the changes to the house that her Team was doing. Nancy was a true friend to me. My Wife, my kids would like to say, " Thank you Nancy for being there for Robert (AKA ME) for this process. You helped him during a time when he needed help and a positive outlook on the house/process". I whole hardily agree with them. Nancy was by far the best choice/decision I made in this whole probate process. She was considerate and helpful in even other (non related to realty) questions. I did not know Nancy before interviewing her and yet she was a true FRIEND in many things during this process. Thank you Nancy!!!
Nancy Andreason priced home very well, was friendly, knowledgeable and on top of everything. I would recommend her to everyone.
Since ours was a probate sale, it was critical for someone experienced with California probate laws pertaining to real property. Nancy is an expert. Since all business was going to be done remotely, I needed someone who I could trust and feel comfortable dealing with. Nancy met our needs above and beyond. Nancy is a consummate professional and expert in her field. She understands the ins and outs of probate sales, not to mention the family dynamics during probate. I was working with her from North Carolina, never met her in person, but felt like I not only had a terrific realtor, but a friend, as well. I had her running from Lowe's, to Home Depot, to TJ Maxx, and anywhere we could find what we needed. She offered her professional opinion during renovation and also respected my wishes and suggestions as well. She did whatever was needed to get the renovation completed in an extremely reasonable time. I've sold 5 houses, and I was expecting the probate sale to be a nightmare. Nancy made it bearable and much easier than other sales I've been through. She was ALWAYS accessible, responsive and helpful. I just can't thank Nancy enough. I had quite a bit of correspondence from agents once the probate notice was posted in the courts. She was only one of two who followed up with a phone call. She gave me time to get through family matters and the memorial service before calling. She was always friendly and personable, never rushed me, answered all my questions, and was extremely sensitive to what I was going through after losing a sister. We considered 2 other agents who were recommended. I'm a numbers/facts person. She sent a notebook with valuable information about probate, and she also included a list of homes she has sold in probate. I could tell she was a go-getter and a serious agent, when I saw that there was very little discrepancy between the asking prices and selling prices, sometimes even selling for more than the original asking price. I can't say enough. She was literally a God-send...an answer to prayer. As I told her, she's da bomb!
My Dad passed away and this was a probate sale. I received a lot of calls, letters and they were very basic. Nancy's confidence and integrity is what made me realize I would love her to be my listing agent. Nancy provided a complete market analysis for the property and a plan of action. I expressed in detail my plan and Nancy provided her amazing services: Expert market knowledge Understanding and explaining of local trends Clear and timely communication Maintaining integrity in all situations. I have worked with many listing agents and Nancy is by far the very best. She is fair, honest and will provide excellent suggestions to make your property stand out. Nancy was firm and the sale was 10k over asking price.The home was sold in 5 days and escrow was amazing. I would hire her again and refer her services. The best real estate experience I've had.
She really did her due diligence and was competent at every turn. We closed in a short time for more than our asking price. Good job Nancy! No wonder she is a top performer; she really covers all the bases. She was ;the first to call when our probate case was published and carried through just as efficiently. Her contributions to the whole process really helped us as we are from out of state.
