"I interviewed several realtors when I decided to sell my home, and selected Andy because he was the most knowledgeable, professional, and personable. I never questioned the decision, and he was great throughout the entire process of selling my house. He was very responsive and consultative, put together a very attractive listing, and was excellent and patient through contracting and closing. Andy is also a great person and sincerely nice. I would not hesitate to recommend Andy to any seller or buyer." - Adam
★★★★★
"Andy is a genuinely nice person. He is personable, professional, and interested in the people he meets in his profession. He builds relationships. He was readily available in making appointments to view houses. He was committed to finding the right home to meet our needs. When we found the home for us, he was very professional and knowledgeable in negotiating the purchase process. He was also able to assist in finding professionals needed in the purchase process and also other professionals for other home needs after the purchase."
★★★★★
"Andy is the best. We had to move out of state for a job opportunity, and Andy handled everything. Within a few short weeks, we accepted an offer and closed quickly. With all the stress associated with a long distance move and selling a home, Andy was our saving grace."
★★★★★
"Andrew is a gentleman. Quick to respond, honest, gives good advice when you need it, very knowledagbe, especially in the legal aspects of real estate, he’s not pushy, he’s patient, passionate, a hard worker, and he’s become a great friend. He has an excellent family and knows about all the best Italian restaurants. He helped us negotiate a great deal on an investment property."
★★★★★
"Not often are my expectations exceeded; however, I can honestly say Andy zoomed way past my expectations. In the first week I lost count of the number of showings and Andy had a contract with the eventual buyer, at a price I thought would be next to impossible to achieve. If you REALLY want to sell your property, Andy Salamone will not only do that, but he will amaze you in the process with his skills and professionalism."
