What People Are Saying
“Andrea’s an amazing realtor. And friend. And therapist. And overall life coach. This was our first home in a nuts market and Andrea could not have made it easier…or more fun. Over the course of 7+ months she was beyond patient and informative. She knows the market here inside and out. If you’re looking for some $5 hot n’ ready shithead realtor, turn on Bravo TV. Andrea asks all of the questions you didn’t even think you needed to ask and she and her really great team work really, really hard for the clients. She never pressured us and she never presented anything over budget (we took care of that ourselves). She knew when we were uncomfortable and she never wavered from the goal of finding us the right home. In the end not only did she help us find a great place, she helped connect us to everyone we needed and she still responds to every random homeownership question we have.”
We actually met with several real estate agents before deciding to go with Andrea…We would definitely use Andrea again and would refer any friends to her who are looking for a home in San Francisco.
Andrea is amazing… In such a crazy market, it was her expert skills and strong intuition that got us into our dream home. You simply cannot choose a better broker to work with!
Two separate friends of ours recommended Andrea, and about five minutes after our first conversation together, we knew ‘she was the one’. No wonder our friends recommended her so highly, and that’s why we now recommend her to our friends as well!

Andrea interviewed on persistence by Inman contributor Andrew Flachner
A recurring and legitimate challenge in a low-inventory market is homebuyer fatigue. Understandably, having your eighth offer rejected can take the wind out of a buyer’s sails, and it can be a strain on both buyer and agent.
Andrea Swetland explains to Andrew and his readers, in this article “How I learned to stop worrying and love low-inventory markets”, the importance of persistence: “Someone needs to tell discouraged homebuyers not to give up until they find their dream home — I am that person for them.”
In fact, one of Andrea’s buyers, fatigued out after six failed offers, came to talk to Andrea about dropping out. Andrea’s cheerleading at that meeting encouraged them to put in one more offer, and the seventh time was the charm — two days later, they were in escrow.
