Andrew Norris

Andrew was raised on a mountainside meadow in the pristine PA Appalachians and has spent most of his adult life in the District of Columbia, proudly attaching the "Washingtonian" moniker to the headline of his story. He expertly and practically blends extensive building science experience, an Architecture and Fine Arts background, savvy business practices, and emotional intelligence to match exceptional people with exceptional homes. Andrew's trained eye and commitment to the highest level of hospitality has earned his practice an impeccable reputation and fantastic outcomes for his clientele. As a fiduciary and humanistic practitioner, he truly relates to those he serves putting their interests before his own and is driven to create a positive feedback loop such that the people he helps tend to refer him to those they care about.  Historically, he has conducted 10-20% of his business off-market and his clients have referred to him as a "truffle pig", and a "bird dog", symbols that he welcomes.  His experience in and appreciation of fine and folk arts trained him to periodically take steps back from the work he is performing and consider the broadest spectrum of theoretical outcomes such that his clients are fully equipped.  He always does his best to be a gentlemen despite his quiet roots, especially when no one is watching, and makes sure to fully digest his daily humble pie.

Andrew has been named as a Top Agent by the Washingtonian and the Compass brokerage for the past 4 years.  He holds real estate licenses in DC, Virginia and Maryland and Architecture and Fine Arts degrees from the University of Pittsburgh. In the first leg of his real estate career while working in real estate development, he managed the construction and renovation of over 300 dwellings in the District of Columbia, including Victorian, Beaux Arts, Art Deco, Mid Century Modern and ground up new construction, now providing a distinct advantage to his seller clientele in terms of return-on-investment implementation and offering keen insights regarding overall property condition and characteristics for his buyer clientele. The majority of Andrew's property trades originate from repeat and referral business, but he also enjoys educating those who are new to the market and those who have not engaged in the real estate world for some time.  Out of respect for the virtue of wisdom and experience, he offers the best resources for down-sizers as well.  He thoroughly enjoys learning from the brilliance of distant cultures and serves many international clients.
