TESTIMONIALS
In 2011 and 2012’s California real estate market, there are few real estate agents capable of giving sound and true advice based on proven facts and experience. Also, there are few with an impeccable track record. Andrea Dougherty is the “Brady” when she needs to quarterback with lenders and all other issues, large and small. Complex situations which seem impossible to achieve are made simple by her expertise. Selling and listing in today’s market can be made easier by her professional approach. She made our deal happen!
J. C. Johnson, Real Estate Broker
“Kathi and I have navigated through many Rancho Santa Fe purchases and sales over the past thirty years. You were involved in several of them. The most recent sale of our home and purchase of another were truly exceptional. Andrea, as usual, you went the extra mile in so many respects. Your counsel, dedication, personal availability and problem solving were amongst them. We always felt you had our best interest at heart.
What made the last transaction so challenging was, yes, the current real estate environment, but also the element that our purchase was a short sale. We had no experience with a short sale so we depended completely on you. It was your ability to stay on top of the situation and navigate us through the myriad of unique issues and situations that a short sale presents that translated into the successful closing. The extra $64,000 in savings that you found in the final moments of the sale was especially appreciated! We believe this sale would not have happened had you not been our agent. It is always a personal pleasure to work with you.

‘We are happy to recommend Andrea and her team without reservation!!! We are out of state buyers and not only did Andrea find us the perfect home in two days, she also closed our escrow in just eleven days! She gave us recommendations and contact numbers for everything we needed and all of her recommendations have worked out wonderfully. We could not have wished for a better or nicer or more accommodating realtor—it has been a pleasure working with her and the entire team!“
Ken and Helen Rosevear
Andrea, thank you so very much for everything you have done for us! You have been incredible!! It’s been a long, crazy journey but worth it for us. We so love our new home. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
Michelle and Tim Elliott
Andrea—who would have thought that purchasing real estate could be such a pleasurable experience. Thank you so much for all you have done for us. We are fortunate to have met such a beautiful and thoughtful person.
Belinda and Ray Ford
“An absolute professional who understands her clients’ needs well and ensures total satisfaction through the negotiation and closing process. She was our listing agent for the sale of our home in Rancho Santa Fe in 2009 in a tough real estate market. Not only did she provide good counsel as we negotiated a selling price but went out of her way to help the buyers get their loan approved to ensure a timely closing. The buyers were more impressed with her than their agent and recently hired her to buy another home. Best of luck to Andrea. I would hire her again if I needed to buy or sell real estate in San Diego County. “
Walter Menezes
“Andrea is the most knowledgeable and responsive real estate agent we have ever encountered. We found her to be not only empathetic to our needs, but also a very skillful negotiator on our behalf. No marketing details were left to chance. When our first escrow cancelled, she swiftly contacted other agents who had shown our home and secured a new contract. She has a demonstrated track record in our area. Glad we chose her to get our home sold in spite of a challenging environment.”
Tim and Michelle Kerrigan
“Thank you for all your help above and beyond that which is normally required in a real estate transaction. You were a key member of our family team which sold my elderly father-in-law’s home and helped out finding and relocating him to suitable, downsized replacement housing. Your creativity, good humor and tenacity helped us all along the way. There were no issues that you couldn’t handle. I have been involved with many real estate transactions but your performance is up there with the best! I am more than happy to enthusiastically recommend you to anyone who would like to give me a call. Best regards to you from our family and thanks again for a job well done! I hope we can work together again in the not too distant future.
John Withers—Senterra Property
Andrea was absolutely wonderful! She did an outstanding job in marketing and selling our Fairbanks Ranch house in this difficult market. We appreciated her consistent communication, knowledge of the market and her expertise in handling our listing.
The service and professionalism that Andrea provided us was indeed exceptional. We will not hesitate to recommend her and her team to anyone interested in selling their home.
Mark and Paula Robinson –Rancho Santa Fe Property
"Andrea is as delightful in person as she looked in her advertising. Coming from the East Coast, we needed to be educated. We received her total commitment and benefited tremendously from her expertise. Our thanks to a great agent who is now a wonderful friend!"

“Andrea was our agent in our recent purchase of a home in Rancho. She is not only a true professional filled with expertise in the current real estate market and local neighborhoods but she is also a lovely person with whom to do business. We always felt that she had our best interest in mind whether it was for finding the right home for us or negotiating the best deal for us. Our purchase was more challenging than a usual transaction because it involved a short sale. This was a new experience for us so we relied heavily on Andrea to help us navigate through this process. She did so successfully by doggedly following up with the other agent, bank representatives and keeping all of the papers needed to close the deal organized and made sure that they were submitted on time. In our opinion, this purchase would not have happened if Andrea had not been our agent.”
Kathy Phillips
“Many, many thanks for all your hard work, patience and support. Couldn’t have done it without you!”
Gil and Chris Lombard-Rancho Santa Fe Property
"For a couple of octogenerians, this past year was much more than we had experienced most of our lives. Only now that we are settled in our lovely retirement apartment, can we take a deep breath and reflect upon the ups and downs and high and lows of our roller coaster ride into the sunset.
“You are on the top of our list of reflections as the gal and friend who made it happen--a superior professional with a heart! Many times Donald would say to us, 'Mom and Dad, I have never worked with anyone like Andrea. She worked just as hard for you when the deal was done as she did when the sale was in process. I have never been more impressed.'
Andrea, both Dee and I share Donald's enthusiasm and we thank you for your tender loving care through the journey."
Jim and Dee Seitz—Rancho Santa Fe Property

"Andrea and team worked wonderfully throughout the process of selling my La Cima home. She is nice, available, competent, steady, reassuring and when the 'deal' was to be 'made', she was all over it. This has been one of the best experiences I have had in my business career. I have bought and sold many houses, and have dealt with many aspects of the real estate business, and Andrea and team are the best I have come across! She is an absolute pleasure to deal with, and I will wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who will listen. I can't wait to do it again!"
Michael Kreiss—La Cima Property

"I want to thank all of you for putting together a very challenging transaction. Your professionalism and incredible effort always kept me optimistic about completing this escrow. Andrea, I can't tell you how much I appreciated your quick responses, always offering a solution to the many obstacles we encountered. You are a phenomenal team and I appreciate all of you. Thank you again, and I look forward to the next one!"
A prominent local real estate agent
"Andrea--It would be a pleasure to sell another of your fabulous listings. With you being so competent and organized, I knew nothing would slip through the cracks. And with warm greetings each time I called, I knew the knots in my stomach would disappear."
A prominent local real estate agent
Andrea, I wanted to thank you so much for spending the time you did with me. Not only did I enjoy talking to you again, but appreciated your efforts. I am sorry I did not end up buying the home and felt bad for the sellers and the extra time it cost you.
You are a true professional and no wonder you are number one at what you do. I certainly hope to work with you on future real estate projects."
Tom Puckett-Rancho Santa Fe Resident
“Andrea, What a great year and I don’t know anyone who deserves it more! Next year, No. 1 in the Country?? You’re a real pro and a pleasure to do business with.

“Andrea. On behalf of Barb and myself, I just wanted to drop you a quick note thanking you for all of your help in putting together our transaction. We sincerely appreciated your perseverance and integrity in making our offer to purchase a reality. Thanks once again.”
Max and Barbara Dykmans
Fairbanks Ranch Resident
“Andrea. Now that a few weeks have past and the dust has settled around the sale of my parents’ house, I have had an opportunity to review the whole procedure in the calm of the aftermath.
I want to compliment you and your associates with how professionally and adeptly the transaction was handled. From the initial listing to the final closing, everything went quite smoothly. I suspect my nerves may have been your only “item to be handled” during the negotiations and it was done with aplomb.
After all these years of watching you work at your real estate profession it has been a real pleasure to draw on your abilities for this sale. Weren’t we fortunate to close so quickly after the initial listing?
I wish you the best of luck with your new partnership. Should you ever need it, I couldn’t recommend your association more highly.
