MORE REVIEWS

I had the amazing opportunity to work with Andrea and Francisco on two occasions. The first was selling my home a in 2016 and the second was buying a home in 2023. In both cases I received superior service. They are highly experienced in the nuances of these transactions and kept me focused on the topics and my goals. I always found them to be genuine in their professionalism and positively oriented. I trust their leadership and value the relationship that has evolved. I would surely work with them in future and highly recommend them.

 

Janet Spratford - Clairemont (2023)

Andrea and Francisco are to Real Estate, what Michael Jordan and Lebron James are to Basketball. They are simply ALL-TIME SUPERSTARS! We have been working with them for a couple of years, and they have shined bright when it comes to advising, looking after our best interest, preparing properties for sale, aiding us in finding the right property for us. Their super powers are industry-knowledge and professionalism. What is best, they are the ideal Team, each supplementing the other to cover ALL areas of importance in Real Estate Transactions. And if this wasn't enough, no detail is too small. They are special as the 1992 Olympics USA BKB Dream Team... I will let them decide who is Michael Jordan and who is Magic Johnson. It is impossible to be in better hands.

Roberto Candel - El Cajon (2023)

Andrea & Francisco are amazing. This is our Families second time using them selling a home. They Understand how important it is to spend time & money getting your property in front of as many people as possible. Both times we had multiple offers to choose from in a short amount of time because of their efforts. If you’re waffling about who to use, go no further. In my 40 yrs of building & income property investing, I’ve dealt with hundreds of agents. Few stand out like these two.

Marc Archambeau - Julian (2023)

 

Superb overall experience and highly recommended! Andrea and Francisco maximized gain and minimized our stress throughout the whole process.

They were tireless, highly professional, and committed in a way we never expected during the sale of our downtown condo. We are grateful for their care and attention and they have gained our trust and friendship without any doubt.

 

Ross and Sissie D. - Downtown Marina District (2023)

My wife and I just finished the real estate sale process with Andrea and we can't endorse her highly enough. Her insight into the real estate market, her judgement, and her ability to explain every aspect of an otherwise overwhelming process made our sale as stress free as possible!

We first met Andrea in 2009 when we bought our house in South Park and we were struck by how friendly and professional she was. Over the years, it seemed like every time one of our neighbors sold their house, there was Andrea! It became clear to us that her success is the result of the strong relationships that she develops with her clients, her positive track record and her in depth understanding of the local housing market.

After we moved away from San Diego and decided that it was time to sell our house, we spoke with several real estate agents in the area, however, after our initial meeting with Andrea, we knew that she would be the right person to guide us through this process. Her knowledge of the industry and the region and her ability to listen to our needs, inspired our trust.

Andrea made herself available to talk us through all the details, big and small. If we had any questions, she would encourage us to meet with her via Zoom so we could talk in depth (we are living out of state). We felt supported every step of the way.

When it came to staging and showing our house, Andrea had it looking better than we've ever seen it. The inside was sparkling and was staged perfectly, and the grounds had a new, fresh eye-catching design. The MLS profile highlighted the house's strengths and we are going to save the pictures for posterity, as they turned out so lovely.

When it came to selecting the right offer (we had many to choose from), we trusted her judgement to steer us towards the offer that best met our needs. In the end, we closed on the sale with no obstacles. We are still in shock concerning how smooth the whole process was.

In short, you can't go wrong with Andrea. She is a wonderful, friendly, hardworking, knowledgeable agent and we're so happy that we got to know her during this process. Thank you, Andrea!

Oscar and Sara R. - South Park (2022)

 

We approached Andrea & Francisco because we wanted to build a team of expert real estate advisors. They went above and beyond to assist us in finding our fabulous investment beach property. They made us feel incredibly comfortable throughout the process due to their knowledge, straight-forward advice and efficiency. We value how they worked together to bring different aspects together and found solutions seamlessly. We look forward to working with them again on our next purchase!

Jacqueline K. – Pacific Beach (2022)

This is the second time I have had the pleasure of working with an amazing professional agent. In both instances, Andrea made herself available every step of the way; listened to my MANY needs, requests, and answered ALL my questions. Personal service all the way! I recommend her always and will work with her again in the future. No doubt!

Marylou M.- La Mesa (2022)

Andrea is an amazing realtor, and person. From start to finish she had an answer to every question, access to every resource we needed, and responded to every call, text or email regardless of time (or time zone) – and was always cheerful and smiling. There is no doubt that she has our highest recommendation for business referrals.

Kevin H. – Kansas (2022)

In 2001, my husband and I moved into our dream home – the most unique house in the historic Burlingame neighborhood, dubbed the Observatory House. When we decided to retire to be closer to our daughter in Arizona, we knew it would take a special person to help get our home sold. A friend referred us to Andrea Frank and her partner Francisco Bazan. There was an instant connection during our first meeting, we felt so comfortable around them, like we were long-time friends. I recall having tears in my eyes with feelings of relief when Andrea said with confidence that she could sell our house, and sure enough, she sold it for exactly what we were hoping for and in a shorter time than we ever could have imagined!

Andrea was simply amazing. We loved her laugh and her optimism, she is very knowledgeable, well dressed and professional. Andrea was always a few steps ahead and got things done like it was magic. She brought a network of people together to stage, landscape, and get our house published into multiple magazines to prepare it for being sold. We really appreciated her attention to detail and how she made sure to list the house with all the appropriate information, especially in making sure other brokers knew the historical facts about the home during showings so buyers knew ALL the details. Francisco was so patient and thorough when it came to processing paperwork and answering our logistical questions. He was there for every inspection, showing, and open house. They work so well together as a team!

Other than the gift of helping sell our home, we will always remember Andrea and Francisco for how wholehearted they are as humans, making sure our family felt comfortable during the process and thereafter. This dynamic duo continues to show up when it matters, making a point to meet our daughters’ family when she came to help us move and lend their hands to see us off onto our next chapter. Even still, we feel comfortable calling on them to pick us up from the airport when we decide to visit San Diego and inviting them to our new home in Arizona! We certainly made friends for life and couldn’t have sold our home without them, they are certainly the best there is!

Oliver & Alene Zammit – Burlingame/North Park (2022)

Over the past 10 years or so I have bought and sold 9 properties using Andrea Frank as my real estate agent. This comes to a total of 17 transactions. Andrea Frank has handled both the purchase and the sale of each of these properties. I could not have been more pleased as she found me exactly what I was looking for and sold each of them for the price I wanted. In addition, her partner Francisco Bazan patiently helped me with all the paperwork and explained what I was signing with great professionalism. Andrea Frank would be an excellent choice for anyone’s real estate needs, she is honest, friendly, and a real professional.

Robert F. – France (2021)

Andrea is the BEST realtor I’ve worked with! She was recommended to me and exceeded all of my expectations. She sold my house in CA and I never would have profited as much as I did without her assistance. She managed the entire process with me being out of state, to include a renovation to upgrade the interior and exterior of my house prior to selling. She is a trustworthy and devoted professional on all accounts.

Andrea has access to many professional and affordable people with various skills and backgrounds for anything that’s required, from contractors to stagers and everything in between. Andrea is so easy to work with and has so much experience and knowledge of real estate, markets, and all of the processes involved in purchasing or selling a home, building, or land. She’s not pushy and always listens and takes care of her clients.

If you’re thinking of buying or selling and looking for someone who will devote 100 percent of their effort to you during the process, you must use Andrea. Her trustworthiness and loyalty are unmatched and I can guarantee your experience with her will be amazing.

Peter Salon – Hawaii (2021)

Andrea was on top of every step of the way. She offered a team of people to fix up our house for sale including a group who paints and do construction, and a designer/stager, and gardener. Andrea is extremely knowledgeable about the real estate market. She is also an expert marketer… including virtual video, and professionally taken, beautiful pictures that were advertised on multiple media forms. Andrea seemed to always be available. I’m not sure when she even sleeps! This hard working real estate agent got our house on the market in 1 month, and sold it with multiple offers within a few days! We were extremely pleased with her work ethic and dedication to the real estate world. On top of that, she is a joy to be around. I would highly suggest her, and I would use her again if needed.

Lydia Ruggero & Betty Neff - South Park (2021)

Purchasing a home is often a life changing experience, especially during a pandemic. However, once I began working with Andrea and Francisco my anxiety melted away and my excitement kicked in! Andrea, her team and professional referrals were right on with all I needed to quickly move through the process. I am a new home owner and very satisfied. Do yourself a favor … if you want to work with a professional contact Andrea. The extra perk is that you find yourself gaining a friend!

Marylou Maldonado - Hillcrest (2021)

My husband and I worked with Andrea in 2021 to buy our first home. It was a hot seller’s market and we were in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, but Andrea helped us navigate every barrier and new regulation, and truly guided us along our journey to become homeowners. Andrea is an extremely warm, personable, friendly, knowledgeable, and funny individual, who truly dedicates her time and attention to advocate for her clients. She did not rest until we closed on a home we love! She knows San Diego real estate VERY well and provided us solid advice for all kinds of scenarios that we came across, while still ultimately letting us make our own decisions. Andrea was extremely quick to find and notify us about new listings, sometimes minutes or hours after they were posted, and she was always able to set up showings for us on a quick turnaround, while working with our busy work schedules. When we were writing offers and in escrow, Andrea was also extremely detail-oriented, helping us check and clarify each detail during these processes that can be confusing. She was an incredible advocate and partner, and we recommend her highly to all who are buying or selling their homes!

Margaret Chiu & Andrew Calinisan - Mission Hills (2021)

My husband and I were so lucky to meet with Andrea when we first scheduled the visit . We fell in love with this stylish house on our first visit. Andrea did a lot of help to fluent all the process. Although she was back to Brazil for some personal issue during our purchasing, she was still keeping help us follow up all the details. We are so appreciated to have Andrea as our agent. She is professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and communicate well with different parties. Thank you dear Andrea for helping me purchase my first house in San Diego. Lots of hugs and love.

Jesse and Vivian Lu - La Jolla (2021)

My wife and I were inexperienced home buyers, and southern California is a formidable market. Andrea led us successfully through the process, step by step. She gave us a lot of friendly help when we needed it. She put us in touch with good people to carry out an inspection and minor repairs on the home, going out of her way to help. She is also a great bargainer! It was a pleasure to do business with her, and we would strongly recommend her as an agent.

John Pollack & Karen Berry - Nebraska (2021)

Andrea is fantastic! I was selling my property from out-of-state and Andrea made everything seamless. She worked with my contractor on all repairs and upgrades to the property. When I felt overwhelmed at all Andrea stepped in to reassure me. Andrea was completely transparent during all steps of the process and she made sure that I didn’t make any concessions out of frustration. (There was a time or two that I wanted to, and Andrea talked me off the cliff.) I couldn’t have done this without her!!!

Shannon Lee - Colorado (2020)

This was a complex sale with the unit in San Diego and the seller in Isreal. The process was impacted by the covid 19 shutdown. Andrea was available and supportive through the entire process. She coordinated with all players to assure a positive outcome. She is a accomplished professional. I doubt that anyone could have performed any better. She is the best agent I have ever worked with.

Richard Learn - Texas (2020) 

It was a pleasure to work with Andrea. She was very responsive and communicative during the process and took care of all the details meticulously. I really enjoyed working with her and would definitely use her services again in the future! Highly recommend!

Rachel Krentzman - Israel (2020)

Andrea was such a great help to us in selling our South Park home. Even with the trying times we are currently living in, with regards to the worldwide Covid-19 crisis, she helped us navigate successfully through our sale. She was, apparently, our good luck charm, because things that could have derailed the whole thing somehow worked out on our side. She was the calming voice when we were worrying over the process. It will forever be a memorable experience: selling our first house… in a pandemic! Francisco was also a big help to us and we want to thank him as well. We would definitely recommend Andrea and Francisco to any of our friends, or anyone who is thinking about buying or selling.

Lance & Britta LaFave - Germany (2020)

My wife and myself were beyond newbies when it came to buying a house. We had never even looked at a house or spoken to a realtor until recently when what is now our new home came up for sale across the street from our apartment. I called Andrea Frank and within 1 minute of speaking with her my first impression was “integrity”. She could not have been more accommodating from day one by coming over to show us the property at two different times. We told her we were interested in buying the place and she had the ball rolling that same night by setting up a meeting for us with a lender the very next morning. Long story short… since this was our first time we had a million questions and concerns throughout the entire process. Andrea was the most understanding and patient person you could ever deal with. She basically held our hands and walked us through from beginning to end assuring us the whole time. We will never again consider purchasing or selling a house without her representation! Thank you beyond words Andrea!

Lance & Lauren Lohse - University Heights (2018)

To anyone selling their home: We owned our home for 30 years, hard to part! Andrea and Francisco were with us every step of the way, finding the right buyer, preparing our house to put on the market, the incredible support and help that we received from them, they are not just great realtors, they also became wonderful friends. You may put your trust in them to make the transaction smooth and worry free. Thank you Andrea and Francisco!

Mark & Lynn Shaw - Valley Center (2018)

Andrea and her team did a fantastic job selling our condo and made the entire process far easier that expected. Her recommendations and strategy for getting the right buyer at the highest sale price were spot on; she was professional and friendly throughout the process; and her timely communication kept us in the loop and allowed us to relax through what could have been a stressful process. I’d recommend her to anyone who needs a realtor they can trust and rely on.

Gregory Berg - University Heights (2018)

“Great broker, easy to work with, wish all my transactions involved Andrea Frank. ”

Chase Sandrik - Kensington (2017)

Serving Seniors is a San Diego nonprofit that provides food shelter and services for low income and homeless seniors in our county. Needless to say, when a home was donated to Serving Seniors in June, we needed an agent who could be a trusted advisor and get the maximum sales price. We provide 2,300 meals each day to needy seniors, so the profit that would come from this home was crucial to fulfilling our mission. Andrea navigated a scenario that included a house that was in bad shape and would require very special buyers, and then later a complicated buyer situation.

When all was said and done, the other agents who wanted to sell the property all suggested selling at a lower price. Andrea was able to command a price for the house that that was considerably above and beyond the other agents. Let’s just say that nearly 20,000 meals for needy seniors will be purchased with the extra dollars that Andrea was able to fetch for the property.

As a nonprofit that is not accustomed to selling real estate, we felt well taken care of and expertly advised and we are truly grateful for the quick and effective work that Andrea did to get the best price with the least amount of headaches. We thank you, Andrea, and the thousands of seniors we serve each day thank you!

Sincerely,

Rick Roark, Chief Financial Officer Serving Seniors - South Park (2015)

Andrea made a very good impression on our first meeting.  She presented her selling philosophy that included but not limited to the latest methods of attracting home buyers like staging your home.  She also introduced a pricing method to attract a broader range of home buyers. It was proven to be very effective; because right away it generated several offers on the property, and as a result our home was sold in no time at all and for more than the asking price.

Andrea and teammate, Francisco, made the process very painless; by keeping close contact with their client. They provided suggestions that really worked to our advantage.  Helping with quick-fix and updating current housing requirements or obvious discrepancies that older homes needed before the house was put on the market, and before the close of the escrow.

In conclusion, if anyone is looking for a truly professional realtors, GO for team “Andrea and Francisco”!  They really go Above and Beyond their obligations as realtors. If you GO for Team Andrea and Francisco, you will not only sell your home in a shortest possible time, you will also gain lifetime friends.

Dan & Mary Carpio - Otay Mesa (2015)

It wasn’t a day or two after notifying Andrea of our intent to market our South Park home, when we were presented with at least three or four viable offers.

Ultimately we received free and clear more than what we anticipated as our home’s value to be.

The convenience of Andrea’s and Francisco’s handling of details, i.e. asking price, paperwork, one on one with prospective clients, bankers and realtors, was well worth her commission!

Whether purchasing or selling a home Andrea and her associates were efficient and skilled professionals.

James & Jeanie St. Laurent - South Park (2015)

It is my distinct pleasure to recommend Andrea Frank to assist you in your real estate transaction.

I am so pleased that I chose Andrea to help me sell my home. She, and her partner Francisco, conducted themselves in a most knowledgable and professional manner. They listened to and addressed my concerns, met all my requests, and answered all my questions in a very timely manner. Andrea put together a stellar marketing package for my property. She lined up an escrow officer and company that she knew would work well with me.

The result was that my home sold quickly and for more than the listed price. The escrow closed within 6 weeks. It was a win all the way around.

Mary Ann Sandersfeld - South Park (2015)

To anyone looking to buy or sell a house,

I wanted to write a few words about Andrea Frank, and her business partner, Francisco.  We had the pleasure of both selling our house, and then buying another, using Andrea and Francisco as our realtors.

My husband and myself wanted to sell our wonderful home of 11 years, due to our expanding family, but were so overwhelmed by the prospect of how to make it happen.  We were overcome with inertia over the idea, until one day I ran into Andrea at an open house in the neighborhood.  She was so warm and happy, and fun to talk to.  She convinced us to give the process a try.  And the whole time, Andrea was there to walk us through every step and she didn’t let it get overwhelming.  Andrea and Francisco were so helpful and thoughtful, and so completely supportive.  We always felt in good hands with them, and knew we could trust them with these important decisions.

In the end, we sold our home for over asking price with multiple offers, and were able to purchase our dream home within our budget.  We could not be happier with the service and support of Andrea and Francisco.  I would highly recommend them to anyone that is considering buying or selling a home.

Sincerely,

The Hallins - North Park & South Park (2014/15)

This is a review for Andrea Frank. There is no better agent than Andrea. This woman goes above and beyond what anyone would expect of her. She helped me sell five properties in the last three years.  Andrea’s expertise, talent and experience, makes everything looks simple! She’s a true professional. She’s five star!

Edward James - France (2015)

Andrea was amazing ! She helped us sell our unique property. Our house was built in 1910 and had several issues. She was honest and supportive through the entire process. At one point she was even able to bring investors that she knew to the table. She was able to close the deal on a house that we thought we would never sell and she got us the price we were looking for. We recommend her very highly – especially for individuals in the South Park area as this area is very unique and requires someone like Andrea who really knows her stuff.

Ellen Rodarte – South Park (2014)

 

Andrea got me my house and it makes me happy every single day. What more is there to say? Thank you Andrea!!!

Mary Wolff - Tierrasanta (2014)

I chose Andrea Frank for the sale of my home and the purchase of my new home in South Park. The entire process from beginning to ending was smooth. Andrea provided outstanding and reliable service. She was personable, honest and accessible. I will definitely contact Andrea for any future real estate transactions and highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell.

Sincerely,

Sharon English – South Park (2014)

Andrea was a true professional when helping us to buy our first home. She was patient and honest with us, with our best interests always on the forefront. She was always accessible, and very knowledgeable about the housing industry. Andrea became more of a friend, then a realtor, and I would definitely recommend working with her.

Ryan & Meghan Cartidge – Allied Gardens (2014)

This review is for the awesome team of Andrea Frank and Francisco Bazan. They helped us buy our gorgeous South Park Craftsman home in 2010, and then helped us sell it (at a very nice profit!) in 2014. As both buyer’s and seller’s agent, they did a top-notch job (which is why we used their services again). Their knowledge, communication and attention to detail were superb–which was especially important to us as first-timers, both buying and selling–and they are experts when it comes to the Uptown neighborhoods (North/South Park, Uni Heights, Hillcrest, Normal Heights, etc.). Most importantly to us, they are very personable and warm, which made the entire experience a pleasure (and as a result, they became good friends as well as business partners). I can’t imagine using any other real estate team in San Diego. Take 30 minutes of your time to meet them, and you’ll want to hire them too!

Michael and Cassie Strickland – North Park (2014)

We are so grateful for all you have done for us. All the work you did while selling the Edgemont St property in South Park, not to mention the patience it took to get us through the process, was more than we could have asked for. Thank you so much for being such a great asset to our family. We couldn’t have survived this sale without you. Good luck with your real estate business.

Bill and Ginger Choate – South Park (2014)

FYI: If you are buying or selling your home, I have the BEST Realtor EVER! She works her ASS off – what should have taken 2 weeks: getting pre-qualified for a loan, getting a professional to “stage” your home – (who knew that this was even a JOB?!) for photos, arrange the photography, put your home on the market, and have an Open House – took 4 days!!! AND, she is also a BULLDOG when it comes to buying.  She knows her shit and can bargain! She will SO work for you, help you understand the market and be honest and up-front about everything! Her name is Andrea Frank. I never recommend a business, but I am truly impressed!

Jeanne Chacon – North Park/La Mesa (2014)

I hope you will understand, by my recommendation, that I think Andrea Frank is an exceptional Realtor.  I sold my very first home in JAN 2013, it was a custom built home with a view, quiet and peaceful, I lived there since it was built, almost 30 years.  The home was located in Lakeside CA, I adored my home.  Due to family commitments, I needed to sell quickly,  but obtain  a good selling price.  I needed a professional with drive to sell it.  Most important to me I wanted someone with integrity to get me through the process successfully, so I could move on quickly.

Andrea was recommended to me by a longtime friend and coworker.  Andrea was exactly as he described her, and did what he told me she would do.  Andrea was friendly, strait forward and kind.  She took me step by step though the sale process, explained my options during every step, answered my questions completely & respectfully.  She knows her business, including what the state regulations and real estate processes require.  I appreciated the extra effort and time Andrea gave me to help me understand the market, appraisals, and provide me with resources and information when I asked.  I asked for help often.  Andrea did her homework and was prepared for whatever came up during the process.  I sold my home in 4 days, for a price I was happy with, and the entire process was professional, legal and completed efficiently.

Six months after my sale, I recommended Andrea to a friend of mine who was seriously ill, retiring and then moving back East. My friend was not well during this process and needed a professional with drive to sell it and integrity to get  her though the process successfully. My friend had been sick for some time and the condo was  in “as is” condition.   Andrea sold my friend’s home for a price she was happy with, and in about two weeks.  My friend was very happy and told me that Andrea was just  what she needed- she was friendly and kind, worked fast, explained what was going on, gave options and sold her San Diego condo fast.   I will continue to recommend Andrea.  Actions speak louder than words, Andrea has proven track record, is professional, kind and the best person I know to help you with buying or selling real estate.  Again, my experience was 100% positive.  Andrea built a long term relationship with me by her exceptional actions and results.  I will continue to recommend Andrea, she is exceptional and so are her results.

Connie Ward - Santee  (2013)

It has been a pleasure working with Andrea as she represented us in the sales process of our parent’s home.  We were always confident that she had our best interests in mind and that she would implement the necessary steps in the sales process at the appropriate time.  Andrea ensures that her clients fully understand the steps of the transaction and uses good judgment as to what to communicate with the client.  Andrea consistently exceeded standards expected of a sales agent, and her performance was excellent overall on a continual basis.  Through Andrea’s effectiveness in delivering results, she has developed a personal and professional credibility with our family and we highly recommend utilizing her services to represent clients in the sale or purchase of what is likely to be the largest asset of their estate.

Enrique and Luiz Carlos Chacon – Oak Park (2013)

Andrea took us through the daunting escrow experience of title searches, disclosures, inspections and contract law with a sure hand and knowledgeable experience.  She provided a professional and personal approach to her job that enabled us to have a secure feeling about the sale of our Bancroft St property in South Park.  We are presently looking for another residence and she, as always, is performing above and beyond the call of duty.  She not only is our realtor but our friend and last but not least—our dog loves her!!!

Jeri and Laurice Scheidel - South Park (2013)

I am a lifelong resident of Golden Hill/South Park and have recently sold three properties in the area. Andrea represented me as the listing agent in all three transactions. She is very knowledgeable about properties in the area. I found her to be very professional, handling paper work in a timely manner and keeping me informed at all times concerning the progress of the transactions. She is very helpful and fun to work with.

Patricia Lee – South Park (2013)

My wife and I had a great experience working with Andrea Frank in selling our house in South Park San Diego, and we highly recommend her.  From start to finish, she has been a consummate professional, and is very dedicated. Her hard work paid off — we sold our house very quickly in a touch economic climate. She guided us in everything from renovations through closing, and every step along the way.  We couldn’t have done it without her.

Thanks for everything Andrea,

David M. LaSpaluto, Esq., Perkins Coie LLP (and Nicole Wilkerson) – Arizona (2011)

 

This is my third home I have bought and sold in San Diego, CA. since 1988

Recently I sold my home in South Park for $525,000.00. This is great but why did my house sell so quickly and get valued over all the other comps that appraised much lower than mine? Andrea Frank that’s why. As soon as she became my agent she transformed the place to have interior and exterior curb appeal and used her interior decorating skills to make me wonder why I wanted to sell in the first place. Within the first week we had a solid offer for the asking price and I believe buyers fully expected the property to appraise for much lower than it did. When the appraiser arrived Ms. Frank made an absolutely outstanding effort to establish the value in my home, and it worked! Once the deal was made there were constant variables that challenged every detail of the agreement. If you throw in the diversity of personalities she had to deal with it would have been overwhelming for most agents to even begin to undertake. Andrea did this with ease and was on top of every obstacle as it arose and made it very accommodating for my extremely busy schedule. She not only did this for me. She also created a comfort zone for the buyers and their agent as well. Within one month I was paid in full and everyone was happy including the buyers. Andrea knows what can go wrong and plans for the worst, which is what gives her that cutting edge. You need that in today’s market to get what you expect from your property you want to liquidate. Not only did she become my agent, but also a close friend. She’s amazing, sincere, and works overtime in your interest… this is Andrea Frank. You won’t be sorry I promise you!

If you would like to know more please call me at (619) 905-5444.

Michael Greene – South Park (2011)

We highly recommend Andrea Frank as a seller’s or buyer’s Real Estate Agent.

Andrea encompasses the highest standards of professionalism with special detail

given to character, responsiveness, and accessibility. Andrea’s outstanding

commitment to us exceeded all our expectations. We especially appreciated her

attention to detail in three areas:

Dependability: 

Andrea has excellent and punctual follow-through. She customizes her

accessibility to best suit her clients and takes special care in making sure

messages are delivered in a timely and concise fashion. Andrea keeps her

commitments and appointments without hesitating to communicate last minute

changes to plans and strategies. Andrea does an incredible job at recommending

changes to strategies and suggesting “out-of-the-box” solutions to meet the

goals and expectations of her clients. Andrea goes out of her way to anticipate

her client’s needs and take proactive steps to address any situation. She was

magical.

Partnerships: 

Andrea collaborates frequently, professionally, and accurately with all elements

of a real estate transaction. She works closely with the Escrow Company, the

Buyer/Seller Real Estate Agents, Inspectors and Contractors, the Title Company,

and the Lenders in order to insure a smooth process as well as looking out for

her clients’ best interests. Her partnerships were extremely productive and

resulted in a very satisfying transaction. Andrea is the expert conductor of

the “home selling orchestra” – pitch perfect with voluminous direction.

Communications: 

Andrea has incredible communication skills. We so appreciated her willingness

to customize her communications to what worked best for us. Andrea made

countless accommodations to meet our needs whether it was ensuring our dogs were

comfortable throughout the process to enabling last minute home improvements to

dealing with difficult neighbors. She was seamless and went out of her way to

ensure she had complete contact information as we were spread out over multiple

states throughout the transaction. Andrea has a professional and

results-oriented knack for describing, explaining, and interpreting the

different steps of the real estate process and making it real and

understandable.

Andrea was a dream to work with. We would immediately recommend her to our

closest friends and family and anyone seeking a class-act real estate agent who

commits herself to her clients and the transaction. Given the numerous real

estate transactions we’ve participated in the past, Andrea has elevated the art

of the real estate transaction to the best experience we have ever had. If you

are looking for attention to detail, commitment to progress, and partnership for

success, Andrea Frank should be your first choice for a real estate agent.

Andrea re-defines the real estate experience – it is distinguished and

exceptional.

Jim Wolfe and Chris Pajak – South Park (2010)

You meet people who forget you. You forget people you meet. But sometimes you meet those people you can’t forget. Those are your true friends.As I left my house that Sunday morning, I had no idea the contact I was about to make would be life changing. I couldn’t help but notice all of the open house signs on this busy weekend, and it reminded me I really should be more actively looking for my first house purchase. I realized I was discouraged – by the process, by the lack of interesting properties, by the absence of really good people in the real estate industry. In two years time, I had been through three realtors, each one with his/her different quirks. I was moving on from a realtor who never returned phone calls, a realtor who sold me on every property on the market, and most recently, an agent who told me I was crazy to look for anything outside of a condominium. I knew what I wanted for my first home, and I knew it was out there. I just hadn’t quite found the right person. What a difference a few wrong turns can make.

Trying to refocus my search, I started to follow one of the open house signs. Three wrong turns later I ended up on a street I never even knew existed in my neighborhood! There I met a team of contractors who had remodeled the beautiful three story home, and as I looked around, they encouraged me to stay to meet the agent who was running a few minutes late. Thinking the last thing in the world I needed was another agent, I made a quick exit.

As I pulled away from the house, I noticed a woman walking towards my car. Juggling item upon item in her hands, she walked with a certain determination and positivity I admired from the start. I knew she had to be the realtor. In a moment that changed my outlook on the real estate community forever, I rolled down my window and asked if she was indeed the realtor. In one quick sweep, she had my car parked once again, and me sitting on the couch in the house, chatting away about what I was looking for in a property. In five minutes with Andrea, I had received more personal attention that I had in two years from other realtors.

Promising Andrea I would keep in touch, I found myself searching for her webpage and sending her an email that very afternoon. In the quickest turnaround to date, Andrea told me she had already been searching for me since we last talked and she attached three properties she wanted me to take a look at. I responded that I would love to take a closer look at one, but that my work schedule was a little inflexible, and I wouldn’t be able to meet until after 6:30pm on weekdays.

That’s not a problem Mike. You name the time, and I’ll be there.

This definitely wouldn’t be the last time I would hear this statement from Andrea.

Our first meeting brought us to an older house which needed some work and lacked the backyard I was after. It was in my price range though; maybe I should make some modifications to what I was looking for, I thought. When consulting with Andrea, she quickly reassured me, The perfect place is out there for you Mike. Don’t settle, and don’t worry. We will find it.

What a different approach than everything I had experienced in the past – honest, energetic, and a realtor who truly made me feel like she was more invested in my happiness than in my money. I knew Andrea was the perfect match, now if we could only find the perfect home.  One short week was all it took. My phone rang that Friday afternoon and I answered to hear an excited Andrea telling me all about a property she had visited earlier that day. We must go see it Mike….tonight! Friday night meetings, late night emails, and a calendar as flexible as it comes, Andrea was ready to hop into motion on this home, and for good reason. The moment I stepped into this house, I knew it would be my first home. How Andrea found something so perfect, so me in this short time is something I can only accredit to her perception skills and way of understanding clients. It was everything I had been looking for, for over two years, and I knew it was time to make the jump and put in my first offer.

They say buying a home is as stressful as starting a new job, or even giving birth, and I’m not going to lie, it was. From the price negotiations, to the home inspections, to the request for repairs, and even finding the right fit of a mortgage broker, Andrea was there all the way. Never once did she find a question too basic. Never once did she not have patience when I needed an explanation of something for the sixth time. Never once did she hesitate to move with a sense of urgency; she always acted like my needs were at the forefront of all of her work. Believe it or not, Andrea made this tremendously stressful process almost enjoyable.

Two months into my new home, I am as ecstatic as I was the day I moved in. To say I am pleased with the service of Andrea Frank is an understatement, I will go as far as to say I wouldn’t be where I am now without her. Her clear and constant communication, deep knowledge of neighborhoods and the real estate market in San Diego, and her overall high initiative and customer care make her an absolute one-of-a-kind realtor. I feel fortunate to have had Andrea on my side through the home buying process, but I feel even more honored to call her a friend.

Sincerely,

Michael Bentz – Normal Heights (2010)

To whom it may concern:

If you are looking for a Realtor, I have absolutely no reservations about recommending Andrea Frank. In May of 2009 I had to help my son sell his house in the Hillcrest area of San Diego.  She impressed me with her knowledge of the area, the local real estate market and her passion for the business. The sale of the property was anything but normal. We had to deal with numerous problems, not least of which was a bankruptcy filing. Andrea remained committed throughout and helped us through a particularly difficult period in my son’s life with empathy and encouragement. In my opinion, Andrea went well above and beyond what I could reasonably expect from a realtor. In addition to handling the transaction in a thoroughly professional manner, she did a whole lot more  like organizing work to turn the back yard from a disaster into something attractive, rolling up her sleeves and helping clean the house, providing plants to make the place more appealing, watering the yard to keep plants alive, staging the property to reveal its potential and finally helping us pack my son’s belongings. I will always be grateful to Andrea.

David Bluck Chief Technologist, SimSci-Esscor – Hillcrest (2009)

Andrea, I wanted to tell you how much I have appreciated your work during the transaction for our North Park house. You were very professional in all occasion, very friendly and always present for us. It was so comfortable, so efficient and so nice. Thank you so much. I will recommend you. You are the best real estate agent in all San Diego.

I, Earl Crippen, the client of Andrea Frank, want to say Andrea has been the best, the most caring and the most helpful agent I have ever had pleasure to do business with. She really cares about her clients needs and she is all business to find the best deal for selling my brother’s and our real estate property in South Park.  Andrea is very honest and I did trust her judgment and her advice.  She had great people to help her,  her escrow officer Donna Hamilton also went the extra mile to make this sale a success. She put a lot of time in this sale and it paid off. I would advise anyone to have her as an agent.  My neighbors said she was very good and knew her business when she sold their house across the street, they were right. Andrea is very friendly and very professional.  Thank you Andrea for your help!

Earl Crippen – South Park (2008)

I cannot tell how much I appreciated all the hard work done by Andrea Frank in her efforts to sell my mother Ruth Woynar’s home at 1342 Gregory St. I feel you should know how much Andrea did to go above and beyond the call of duty for us. If Andrea is the example of the quality of Realtors that have at Century 21, she surely must all be the best of the best! She is to be congratulated!

Andrea was so kind and patient with my mother during the past months after she listed the house. She kept in contact with us almost on a daily basis to keep us informed of her showings and the many Open House events she scheduled. But most of all, I find it difficult to imagine that anyone could work so hard to sell a home. Any homeowner would be proud to have Andrea Frank’s name as the listing realtor.

I wanted you to know that we can never thank Andrea enough. She is to be commended for all her hard work and efforts .Andrea certainly deserves the Realtor of the Year Award, if there is such a thing.

Once again, on behalf of my mother Ruth, and my siblings and me, we extend our most heartfelt thanks to Andrea Frank! She is wonderful!

Regards.

Sharron Quinn On behalf of Ruth Woynar – South Park (2007)

I write to express my gratitude and thanks to your office, but especially to Andrea Frank. In my view, it is because of her extra efforts that we were able to sell our San Diego home and buy our next house. In short, any prospective home seller would be lucky to have Andrea work for them.

Thank you again.

David Ernst, Esq. (Law offices of Backus, Bland, Navarro & We) – South Park (2007)

Andrea, thank you for your perseverance when things got difficult. We feel fortunate that we received a good offer in a short time, especially in this changing market. You played a vital role in helping us achieve our goal and we want to acknowledge all your efforts. We wish you the best and hope that you have much success in your career.

I have to say that putting my house on the market during this serious financial crisis and at a time when the word foreclosure seemed to be a household name was a difficult decision.  My home that Andrea Frank sold just this month (November 12) was not only an investment, but a home that I’d nurtured and felt safe in for the past 19 years.  Making the decision to sell it was a big one, but selecting an agent to represent me was even bigger.  I chose a 90-day listing with her and she successfully sold my home in just 3 short months.

I had seen Andrea’s listings throughout South Park and had taken mental notes as to if and when they sold.  Not only did she appear to have a good track record with listings and sales, but she was also visible via mailings featuring just sold homes and with notepads with her contact information that would be left on the front porch.  I purposefully kept a flier with one of her listings in my area just in case I ever decided to sell my home.

Well, that day finally came and I always knew that Andrea Frank would be my choice based on my intuition and my observation of her work ethic.  I am here to tell you that from the moment I finally met her, I’ve never been disappointed by her strong desire to, “work for me as a priority in selling my house and to personalize everything along this sometimes stressful journey.”  She is professional, classy, knowledgeable and serious about working with whomever she sets out to do business with.  She has been nothing but pleasant, accommodating and simply dynamic.  It is with my utmost sincerity that I recommend Andrea Frank as your choice for meeting all your real estate needs.  She is better than I could ever have imagined and has absolutely exceeded my expectations in representing me and my interests.

Do yourself a favor and call Andrea Frank today if you’re thinking of buying or selling a property.  I always research things and put them under a microscope before making a commitment and I’m here to tell you that the homework has been done for you.  And for any of you in the community who know me…well, then you know I don’t go out on a limb for someone unless the compliment is well deserved.  You simply won’t be disappointed with Andrea Frank and she has a great accent “to boot.” It has been my sincere pleasure to work with Andrea Frank.  I’d absolutely select Andrea Frank again!
