Andrea Testa, Realtor

TRUE PERSONAL SERVICE… this sums up Andrea Testa on many levels. She was such a pleasure to work with and she really understood what our goals were. It wasn’t easy being a working family with two young children. Andrea handled both the sale of our home and the purchase of our new one all in the same neighborhood, Bixby Knolls. It was a simultaneous deal with a lot of working parts and a small timeline. She worked hard everyday and got it done.
Andrea has a pulse on the community and the market. She is honest and really looked after our best interest. Andrea was resourceful and had access to all the resources. This allowed us to sell our home quickly and gave us a real edge in purchasing our new one. It was a complicated process and we were complicated, but she was patient and did an EXCELLENT job. What I loved was that I was not caught in a «real estate factory». I worked with Andrea and only Andrea. It wasn’t confusing. She hand-​held us the entire time, made herself available, and answered all of our questions. Andrea made it a comfortable process and we would have not done it any other way. I don’t know anyone who has been disappointed with her services. I mean how many agents do you know that cleans, paints, helps you pack, and guides you beyond the transaction? She helped us make our HOME and make a big transition in life… not just conduct the sell and buy. True personal service!
As a local business owner myself and community leader, I can say that Andrea EXCEEDS the amazing reputation she has in Bixby Knolls as an agent, member of the community, and human being… and I would say that it goes beyond the community and echoes throughout all of Long Beach.

We cannot say enough good things about Andrea. She is upfront and straightforward when it comes to buying or selling. Andrea always puts her clients first and is truly service driven. She is in-​genius when it comes to makes the impossible possible. Andrea’s knowledge and experience is what you need when in the market to buy or sell.

Andrea is great! She found us a house in less than a week, negotiated for everything we needed, and we’ve made a lifetime friend to boot! Andrea is a pleasure to work with. She’s kind and engaged — only interested in making her clients happy. One might describe her style as strong but gentle. This is the third house I’ve owned, and Andrea is by far the best real estate agent I’ve encountered. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!

I knew Andrea Testa from her previous business as the owner and operator for Free Spirit Yoga and I always liked her from that experience. Even though Andrea was newer to real estate than the 3 other agents I had worked with, I wanted to give her a try for my most recent transaction. My 2 last agents had been very difficult to work with; we were not a good match. Their priorities were different to mine and I felt like just another number to them. One even sat in the car with me while telling her daughter on the phone that «I think the deal is a go; we’re going to write up an offer when I get back to the office,» as if I wasn’t sitting right there hearing her discuss her numbers for the month.
When I found the property that I wanted to purchase, I contacted Andrea out of the blue. I knew it would not be in her regular territory, but I still asked if she might show me the listing. She was happy to be of service. It turned out to be a very difficult and complicated short sale. Throughout the ordeal, Andrea kept in communication and showed her professionalism, dedication, and responsiveness. I trusted her to look out for me and she did. I hesitate to say that she went above and beyond the call of duty because she deserves to live a balanced life and not be expected to go above board for every real estate transaction, but in my case, she did to help save the offer. Because of Andrea’s efforts, I was able to obtain exactly what I was seeking. I’m a fan!

Andrea is the best real estate agent I’ve had the pleasure of working with (and after two home sales, three purchases, and a different agent for each, I think I’ve got some decent ground for comparisson). She really goes out of her way to help her clients achieve whatever they need to achieve in whatever time frame is necessary. My wife and I called her up, told her we were coming to Long Beach for 4 days and needed to find a house. She made it so we were able to do a whirlwind home search in which she took us around to 20 houses in two days! That has to be some sort of record! And she never tried to send us off on our own nor did she allow herself to be distracted with other business while we were in town. She even cancelled some of her own personal plans because she knew our time frame was so limited.
Andrea intuited what sort of neighborhood and home we would want from very little interaction and conversation. It is like she has a special sense to know which clients belong where! And when it comes down to the nitty gritty of getting the sale to happen, she’s an ace! You always feel like she’s on your side and takes her fiduciary responsiblity to you as her upmost priority.
Andrea Testa is the agent to hire if you want personal service, great insight, and professionalism! We are so happy in our new home in Bixby Knolls!

I chose to work with Andrea because she is passionate about helping others and is a person of integrity. The whole process of purchasing a home was a lot less stressful for me, because I knew I could count on her to focus on my best interests and help me find the house that was right for me!

Selling and buying a home at the same time can be a nightmare; but Andrea made sure everything went smoothly. She give me great advice about pricing my home, which sold in record time and above my asking price. I think in any transaction like this communication is key and Andrea stayed on top of things and kept me informed at every step, even a quick text to let me know things were progressing kept my mind at ease. I would recommend Andrea, for her knowledge of the area, her integrity, and her communication. You can’t go wrong choosing Andrea as your agent!

Andrea was the absolute best. My sister and I had negative experiences with realtors in the past, but Andrea was a breath of fresh air. Her tenacity and diligence landed us in the perfect home. She treated us with respect and compassion from day one, and was genuinely concerned about the neighborhoods and homes we viewed, knowing we were two single women with my two young sons. She made sure the sellers held up to their end of the negotiations and worked closely with us every step of the way. She is now our family friend and we look forward to referring others to her.
