"Andy was always on top of everything: process, neogtiation, knowledge of local market and trends, response to seller concerns . . . everything. We couldn't have been happier with his understanding of our needs and representation of us."

"Andy took his time to find the house that was just right for us; in a great neighborhood with good schools, and backing against the trails! The house was a hidden gem and we almost passed it up had it not been for his assessment of the value and potential it offered. Andy's local knowledge and relationships with contractors helped us understand the real issues from the minor fixes. We couldn't be happier with our purchase and will recommend him to all our friends!"

"Andy helped my husband and I buy several investment properties and he made the whole process seem effortless. His professionalism and honesty impressed us at every point. We have worked with other agents in the past and have to say that Andy is one of the best in the biz. I would not only work with Andy again but would recommend him to anyone looking for a great agent! Tamara Blass "

"I found Andy thru his newsletter Andy's Patch which is thoughtful and value added information related to buying and selling your home. My home was listed 4/2/16 and offical record of sale was 5/9/16. Had a significant issue with local building department becuase the inspector decided I needed a permit for a 30 year old sunroom which was approved from my view since the San Rafael building department approved a resale inpspection report in 2004 when I purchased the home and the sunroom was included. I was told that it did not matter and I would need drawings and an inspection. Needless to say I was totally stressed out. Andy helped me all the way including getting on line at the building department early where I met him with a final approval of the sunroom. I highly recommend Andy and am sure you will find him to be knowlegeable, professional and an all around nice guy. I even feel that the home was sold to the right family. I was born in new york city and moved quite a bit"

"Hello Andy, I wanted to send you my many thanks for all your help, hard work, in site and dedication. To think it all started after I received your newsletter “Andy’s Patch.” While in the process of handling my father’s estate, it came time to sell his house. I contacted and interviewed three real estate agents including Andy Falk. I selected Andy because first he was so prepared with my comparison market analysis, and he seemed so down to earth. I surely made the right decision by selecting Andy as my real estate agent. Once Andy starting helping me with the logistics of preparing my father’s house for sale, it made my life so much easier. In the end Andy priced the house very well, and I accepted the first great offer! I would highly recommend Andy Falk as your new real estate agent. Sincerely, Kim S. "

"Andy stepped in and took over where others left off in my process of selling and then buying a new home. He worked overtime to drive me around, look into comps, negotiate with other agents, contractors, handy men, movers, and financing. What might have been a very stressful process, turned out to work in everyone's favor and to the benefit of all parties involved. We got good prices on both ends, he made a healthy commission for the market at that time and I am now happily moving forward in my life in my new home and neighborhood. I will always be grateful for what he contributed. And he has remained a true friend. "

"Ok, so your looking for an agent and reading reviews...STOP. Go no further, you've found your agent! Andy is everything you need for representing your interests. He is a great communicator, responsive to your needs, conscientious, humorous and effective. Andy just "gets it" in any given situation. After interviewing four agents in the area for selling my Condo, I decided on Andy as he had the best marketing plan, knowledge of Marin's real estate and organization of resources already in place needed for quickly selling my property. We had a goal of selling within a timeframe and Andy delivered on the improvements we decided on to maximize the sale price which resulted in a very quick and very successful sale. His experience and knowledge guided me through from beginning to end, he always had the answers to facilitate the process. I highly recommend Andy, you can do no better! "

"Working with you was a very positive experience. You kept us well informed, and you were always up front about what we had to overcome and what we might have to face. You were are good source of advice along the way and together we made what I feel was a very effective team...as one hopes to see in such a challenging period (2020 COVID SIP). You now have handled two major real estate transactions for us and both ended up as well as we could have hoped for. Your personal attributes are some of the most highly regarded things we shall take away from this experience. You are exceptionally ethical, honest, hard working, and always used good judgement. We feel that we certainly made the right choice in choosing you to represent us."

"I appreciated Andy's good natured, easy-going attitude combined with his practical know-how. I was about to rent a home that he was representing, and a concern came up about the home for me and my family after I'd already signed the lease. I appreciated Andy's reasonableness and care in helping me get to a place where I was very secure with my decision"

"A Trustee for my aunt’s estate, I needed to sell the Trust’s final property — a home in Terra Linda, that my aunt had owned for 50 years. I had been receiving Andy’s newsletter for over a year, so I gave him a call. I liked his background and attitude, so I “checked him out” through a couple of trusted experts: (1) a family friend realtor in Contra Costa County with over 40 years of experience, and (2) my step-mom, a realtor in Riverside County, also with over 40 years of experience. Through their networks they heard nothing but good things about Andy, so it was “two thumbs up” and “good to go.” During the year that we worked together (yes, we were a TEAM) to prepare the property for market and to get it sold, I found Andy to be: • Friendly • Honest • Knowledgeable • Creative • Proactive • Accessible Andy knows the area and knows the market. The upgrades and repairs that he recommended resu"

"With Andy, it felt like we were getting a capable real estate agent and home inspector in one. He is very techno-savy, extremely honest, but what made him special was his ability to uncover and rank the flaws in the houses were looked at. He always gave us his unbiased opinion, whether or not we asked for it, and he helped us find a great house at a price we could afford when the market was getting ultra-competitive. Thanks Andy! Oh, we still owe you and your family dinner =)"

  -Fessic, Client

"From beginning to end Andy was supportive & professional. We needed a great deal of handholding and Andy was always there for us. Thanks to his guidance the sale of our home was smooth & uncomplicated. We highly recommend Andy for his knowledge, reliability, and many kindnesses."

"Andy has helped us buy several excellent investment properties, showing great professionalism, very prompt response, and NEVER tried to lead us into anything we did not want to buy or was not in our interest. Very knowledgeable about the entire process of buying and selling a home. The best. Anthony Blass Investor"

"What a stroke of luck to find Andy and have him be my agent. I had relocated to the east coast and my house in Marin needed to be sold. I had received a letter from him, asking around for a client that wanted to live in the neighborhood. I decided to call him and although the house wasn't a good fit for the clients, Andy and I developed a great working relationship and he ended up listing my house and more. Not being close by, he was instrumental in helping me get the house ready for market and selling it. He was extremely helpful and responsive and acted as my eyes and ears on the ground so to speak. The house was a little tricky to sell, but with his connections, we found the perfect seller, and in pretty good time. He is conscientious and willing to go the extra mile. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in Marin."

"I cannot say enough about how wonderful it has been having Andy Falk's help while searching for the right home for me and then managing the derails of my purchase. There was not one concern that I had that Andy did not quickly resolve for me. He has been on top of every detail of my purchase which sailed along smoothly and quickly. I could not be happier."

  -Alice, Client

"Andy helped me recently with the swift and successful sale of a condominium in the Terra Linda/Marinwood area. Like many reviewers, I first encountered Andy through his newsletter, Andy's Patch. During the course of our dealings, in a challenging situation, Andy was extremely professional, responsive, helpful, pragmatic, calm, and reliable. He also has a good sense of humor and is very engaging. I highly recommend Andy to anyone thinking of buying or selling a property in the Terra Linda/Marinwood area."

  -Judy, Client

"I found out about Andy through his newsletter that he hand delivers. Long before I decided to buy a home I enjoyed reading his insights into the market. We also have kids the same age and in the same schools and have several mutual friends. From real estate agent to soccer coach, I had always heard nothing, but rave reviews about Andy over the years. It goes without saying (or should go without saying) that when choosing an agent you want an expert on the neighborhood market and an expert in the field, but at the top of my list is someone that I can trust. My wife and I refer to Andy as "honest Andy" because you just know, without a doubt that everything he says and does is on the level. Regardless of which side of a sale you are on, there's nothing more important than integrity, IMHO. Andy is also VERY responsive to email and/or text message so you are never left waiting for him to return a call in a market that moves so quickly. It's a very tough market for"

  -Brent, Client

"We had received Andy's newsletter for a couple years and found the information current and focused on where we lived. There was very little "hype" and lots of useful information so it was easy to feel Andy was a good choice when we decided to sell our home. Andy responded very quickly to our call for a consultation and did an immediate walk through of our home. He felt the home would sell very quickly and advised us that we needed to be prepared for that fact as respects our closing on our future home; he was right on every aspect as our home sold in a weeks time. Every item that could be an issue Andy had advised us about; again, he was right on every item and had a solution for each. He knew all the processes with permits, building inspection issues, etc.; a professional in every way and an enormous stress-reducer! I tend to not give 5 stars for all categories but Andy indicated no weakness in any of the categories above and earned every star given! If you are looking for a highly q"

He is a hard worker that keeps you updated, gives you an honest opinion and tries to come up with creative solutions in even difficult situations. He can help you make the right decision for yourself and your family. I highly recommend him to be your agent for buying or selling your property"

"Andy was always there when we were casually looking at places; he would always able to accommodate our schedule with pleasure. Once we were ready to seriously look, he met our urgency and advised us well. He is honest and trustworthy, knows his real estate inventory and easy to work with. We highly recommend him! Hands down, the best we have worked with!"

  -Natalia, Client

"Andy helped me through what can only be described as an incredibly difficult and complex sale. The property had a number of issues to work through, including legacy permitting problems and a rental/tenant situation. Andy went above and beyond the call of duty to help me solve all the challenges, sell the property under a tight capital gains deadline - and - all of this for an out of state seller - which meant much of the burden fell on him. He basically served as both real estate agent and general contractor. I can't imagine a more helpful agent - never a complaint - always a positive attitude. I sincerely appreciate the effort he put into the deal to make it happen for me. I'm convinced I would have failed without him."

  -Prefer Notsay, Client

"Andy represented us to buy and sell my house during the past 5 years. Transactions were smooth and successful. He is honest to lay all necessary facts in front of us without hiding and notify us all options together with his recommendations to our best interest. He is calm and friendly and was a great filter between seller and buyer (we were on both sides at different times). He is punctual and committed to all he agreed to do without failing on any. If we decide to move back to North Bay at a later time, we will definitely work with him again because of his capability and friendliness."

  -Hangsheng, Client

"My experience with Andy was so streamlined. I still can't believe how easy he made it all. Hard-working and very knowledgeable he and his team immediately got to work and got my home sold. Over the course of a month he had 2 open houses and we had not one but two offers on the table. My home sold within 6 weeks!! Once we were under contract, Andy and his team made sure all my questions were answered and my needs tended to. I can't say enough about Andy and his ability to get the job done!! Thanks again Andy!"

"Andy did a fantastic job on helping us sale my moms home after she passed away. When I would come up to visit I would sometimes see Andy's news letter and my mom would tale me that he was a nice local Real Estate agent who would ride by on his bike and drop off the letter through out the year. When I met Andy I could tale right off he was the one his knowledge of the market and love for the community was impressive and sincere. Andy had some great ideas on getting the house ready and with his team they did it in a timely manner at a very fair cost. I would recommend Andy to any one buying our selling there home by far the best Real Estate transaction I have ever had. Thanks again Andy for all your help you are the best"

"Andy caught our attention long before we decided to put our house on the market. We diligently read his newsletter "Andy's Patch" for several years and were impressed by his profound knowledge of the local real estate market. When the time came to sell our house we talked to several agents but it was clear that we could only entrust Andy with the sale of our beloved house. Andy is a true professional who was always courteous, approachable and punctual. The listing price he suggested was spot-on and generated solid offers over asking. He assisted us with necessary permits and even went to City Hall several times on our behalf. Andy delivered more than he had promised, which is a rare thing..."
