Andrew and the Katronis team won our business twice. When we initially set out to sell our Cloverdale home, we interviewed all the usual suspects in the area in addition to a friend who is based outside the area.

After the interviews, it was clear that not only did the Katronis team have the superior local network of prospective buyers and handle on the local marketplace, but that Andrew personally, took more time than anyone else to prepare for the meeting, with appropriate comparable homes and a strategy.

Andrew helped get our home was professionally staged and photographed and we agreed on a pricing strategy with an expectation to get top dollar for our property. While the process took longer than we originally thought, the communication and foot traffic remained consistent, and eventually our home sold for the highest value of any home in the neighbourhood in 2019.

When it came to purchasing our new home in Ocean Park, South Surrey, we decided to go with a realtor from our personal network that was based locally in the area, thinking it would give us the same network and local market advantage that Katronis gave us in Cloverdale.

 Not to be discouraged, Andrew remained in contact with us, and we agreed that if he could find the perfect home for us that was not readily listed on MLS, that we would consider it since we had already committed to another realtor. Andrew persevered, calling multiple owners that had de-listed their homes, finding us the house of our dreams, at the right price point. The negotiations were brief and we couldn’t be happier with the end result. If we ever have the need to purchase another home in the Lower Mainland, (we doubt it!) we will turn to Andrew and the Katronis team first.

I wanted to say a big THANK YOU to Andrew Garisto for helping me find my new home!
Like many, I have worked with a half dozen realtors in the past (with both positive and negative experiences).After finding Andrew, I can honestly say that I will never have to find a new realtor again.
Andrew is trustworthy, hard working and an expert on the market. My only concern now is that with my glowing review he might be to busy to help me out in the future 🤔

I casually and randomly messaged a home for sale on REW and got hooked up with Andrew. We had big barriers to getting a new house. Andrew got it done in about 2.5 months, selling our house and helping us get our new one. He made it happen. Showed us many places and knew what he was doing in both selling our place and getting our new one. I think that's what a lot of people need. The team from here is strong and they bring a no nonsense approach to selling your house quickly, bringing you to reality when you need it.
