★★★★★"Marina and Andy brought a wonderful level of expert knowledge and professionalism to my home search. They know this market extremely well and the listings available. They listened to my preferences and gleaned my needs for a new home. I put my complete faith in their expertise, and they overdelivered! They provided me with resources and recommendations for Mortgage Brokers and Moving Services that were greatly appreciated and utilized. These services made the purchasing and moving experience as stressless as possible. They contacted me on a regular basis during the buying process to answer any questions I may have had. I am grateful for their leadership and guidance through this journey of home selection and purchase. I will always recommend Marina and Andy Homes to any prospective home-buyer in the future. "

"I have worked with Andy and Marina for many years and have used them on both the sell and buy sides with three homes. They are consummate professionals and were always available to me to answer any questions I had. Most recently, they structured the sale of my last home so that there was a bidding war. I was under contract in 2 days, and the offer was over asking price. I am more than happy with both of them! "

"Choosing Marina and Andy was the best decision around the selling of our house. Their advice and deep benchmarking analytics helped us to set the price on point, advice how to get the property in shape was spot on, their preparation of a group of interested buyers made us close on the property in record time. We are deeply impressed by their work and expertise. Thank you Marina and Andy! "

"We could not have been more delighted by the expertise and service from Marina and Andy. Their knowledge of the market was remarkable as was their guidance and counsel in leading us through the marketing and sales process. This is the “go to” team in Lake Forest! "

"I've had the pleasure of engaging the team twice this year, once as a buyer, then a seller. My most recent experience again highlighted their professionalism and knowledge of the marketplace. Within three days of the house being listed I had accepted an offer that was well above asking price. During that time I considered three offers, all at or above asking price. Their price point was perfectly chosen as it generated tremendous interest which resulted in escalating offers. They know what they are doing. They communicate very well as after every showing I was given honest, valuable feedback. The whoIe process was seamless, quick and profitable. I cannot recommend them enough."
