"I'd worked with Andy several years ago when I was looking for a home to rent. I really liked him so we kept in touch. When I went looking for a home to buy, I naturally chose Andy. My wife and I had a lot of specific requirements for our new home and Andy found several that fit our criteria. He showed us his first choice for us, and we purchased it that day! Things turned acrimonious with the Seller during the post-contract negotiation stage, but Andy handled himself very professionally and he brought the transaction to a successful conclusion. Andy's so personable and knowledgeable. He's a very nice guy and not at all pretentious, and best of all, whether you're buying or selling, he'll outlast the competition."

When Christine P. says Andy Kraus is looking out for the best interests of his clients not himself, she isn't kidding. Christine and her husband Viktor approached Andy when they went looking for a home to buy, asking him to sell their condo first. When Andy found out they owed less than $10,000 on that condo, he gave up $5,000 in potential commission to advise them against selling it at that time. He told them he believed it would be in their best financial interest to keep the condo as an investment.

Christine stressed how much she could trust Andy. She said he really put in the extra effort to get her what she wanted. In fact, the home they decided to buy already had five other offers on it! Andy called the listing agent to find out what the seller really wanted in a buyer. With that information he made their contract the most appealing, and they got the house. And theirs wasn't even the highest bid!

"Andy played hardball like Chris Matthews for me at our settlement. The buyers of my home were being extremely aggressive, but Andy showed them we couldn't be pushed around. He made it clear that he worked for my best interests. (He) is very bright and very thorough and careful when it counts. He's always on top of things. I was concerned about the potential tax liabilities on the sale of my home so Andy advised me to check with my accountant to put my mind at ease. Andy went beyond my expectations, and I really appreciate that."

"Andy is so competent. He really knows his business, and he can also be assertive when he needs to be. He made the real-estate transaction fun. I was really surprised to find out just how much Andy knew about the fine print on the contracts though he always referred me to an attorney for legal opinions. He's very knowledgeable and easy to work with. I've already recommended Andy to my friends and family, and I will continue to do so."

- Elaine P.

"Throughout the entire period from the day I first called Andy (about listing my home) until we closed, Andy remained upbeat, helpful, thorough and professional. I would recommend Andy to anyone in need of real estate services without hesitation. He is one of the most professional real estate agents I have ever worked with. I appreciate his efforts and those of (his transaction coordinator) Cindi as well. Thank you, Andy, for EVERYTHING!

"I would feel comfortable recommending your services to my friends and family because you found me a home in my price range at the time I needed it most. (You were a) great teacher, very patient. And most important, when you say you will do it, it gets done."
