You're a big deal, and we treat you like it

I worked closely with Andrew and his assistant Nick to find a house that would meet my needs. Within 2 days I found the perfect home and their assistance and expertise exceeded my expectations. I could tell from the start I could trust their judgement, knowledge and negotiation techniques. Would absolutely use them for my next sale or purchase!

I would recommend Andrew & his assistant Nick as your real estate agent. Yes. But more than that, Andrew has helped me as a friend would. He recognized from our initial conversation my situation, which wasn t a good one. Perhaps it s a gift, but Andrew was able to guide me and reassure me along the way. It s what he said and didn t say that let me sleep at night while the property was listed. With everything I had to deal with that caused sale, I didn t have to worry about this piece of the puzzle. Andrew and Nick took care of everything. Personable, profession, friendly and above all, I think what makes Andrew successful is that he works from the Heart. He cares. He actually cares for his clients. And he cares for everyone on both sides of the transaction.

It was a great experience and my Condo sold within 2 weeks and closed 21 days later. Andrew was great and anticipated many of the issues that we encountered and in the end the closing was very straight forward with very little stress for me. I would strongly recommend him for anyone interested in getting their house sold quickly without sacrificing value.

When you are buying your first house, you want someone constantly on your side while also looking out for your betterment. Andrew is your agent. What differentiates him from the rest is his ability to create a full spectrum of the process allowing you to weigh each option and scenario evenly. With so many hiccups in the home buying process, Andrew makes sure you are prepared for every curve ball. He is also a professional and a delight to work with in this process. He has a fantastic team to help coordinate the home buying experience. Hats off to Andrew and Nick.

Andrew was always professional and cordial. He was the sellers agent for the house I bought, but went the extra mile, even after close of escrow, to make sure I was happy and had all of the information I needed to settle in. I was especially touched by the housewarming gift he sent (gourmet ice creams with custom flavor names).

He understood the subtle personality nuances between parties whether it was my own, the mortgage broker, the sellers agents, inspectors, etc and how to get the most out of all of those parties without upsetting anyone. Buying and or selling a home can be an emotional process and Andrew made it a very easy and enjoyable process.

Andrew is an excellent communicator and works great with first time home buyers. He is readily available for questions and most importantly he has a great team that work along side with him. I would most definitely recommend Andrew as an honest, hard working, result oriented individual that is available to help anyone looking for a home.

We highly recommend Andrew Rhoda as a real estate agent in Los Angeles, CA. He has ample experience in the field and vast knowledge about the many areas that compose this enormous city. He worked with us during the period of August thru November 2012. During his tenure with us, he displayed excellent levels of commitment, honesty, reliability, and flexibility. He has outstanding communication skills and is also capable of following up to ensure that the job is done rightly and completed on time. Moreover, he is a great listener and provides great advice. We can confirm that he is a man of great principles, is extremely dedicated, and quick to volunteer. Without a doubt, he will be a valuable asset to your search for a home.

Andrew is a dedicated and expert person. He takes great pride in his work. In interviewing realtors, his precision and dedication were amazing. He ended up getting my wife the price that she wanted for the sale of her home. I was very impressed with the photos, the marketing, and the strategy to obtain the desired sales prices. Will use them again!

Great team (Andrew, Derek, Megan & Kristina) They were always available to answer our questions or hop on a call to discuss options and scenarios with regard to neighborhoods, properties, the offer, loan, etc. They were with us throughout the entire process from determining our wants & needs until escrow closed, even making a second trip back to our selected property to review construction quality, neighborhood, etc. and ensure it was what we were looking for. After finding the home, they were aggressive on our behalf, but also understood the needs of the Seller, so they were able to craft a unique offer that worked well for both parties and secured the house for us against other bidders. They attended all inspections and the final walk through prior to closing to ensure all required repairs that came out of the inspections were completed. Ultimately, they made what could normally be a very stressful event into a painless process.

We challenged Andrew to sell our house at a number we never thought we would get. He not only delivered FIVE full priced offers in less than a week, he sold our house at another 10% over the full asking price!!! We LOVED working with Andrew. He's knowledgeable. He's communicative. He's agreeable. He's honest. He's a strategist. He's simply THE BEST.

Andrew was the best broker I have ever worked with!! His tenacity and follow through was above and beyond what I expected from an agent. He is incredibly knowledgeable of the market and not pushy at all when it comes to giving me advice. I will only use Andrew as a broker from now on!

Andrew and his team worked swiftly to get us started on what would turn out to be a somewhat complicated and at times difficult process of buying our first home. Andrew's approach is one of calm expertise, and he always maintained a positive attitude and sense of humor, which helped immensely. He deftly negotiated both a strong initial offer and a successful renegotiation after inspection. Andrew kept us well informed, without overwhelming us with details (and probably shielding us from some of the more unpleasant minutiae). Most importantly, Andrew was straightforward with us, honest about successes and difficulties, and so we never felt in the dark. His team, especially Derek DiMaggio, remained communicative and engaged.

Kevin and his team are great. We were looking for a condo in a crazy market and Kevin stayed on it the whole way through. From meeting for showings from downtown to the valley, Kevin was there. Once we settled on a place, Kevin stayed on the listing agent through multiple stages of the offer. Once we got into escrow, the service did not stop. From check Ins to pushing when needed, Kevin made sure we not only closed on time, but a week early.

It s hard to describe in words how awesome this team is at Andrew Rhoda and associates. First of all, we were first time buyers with very little insight into the buying process. We had basic information about what we wanted, but didn t really know how to find a place that fit our needs. The team was incredible from the start. Their approach is very human and they really ensure that you know how to assess your needs with available properties. They helped us understand from the beginning, what to expect at every point in the process and coached us through so many different elements. They were advisors on forms and documents, assisted us in all conversations with the listing agent team, and handled all of the contractor conversations during the inspections process. They worked nights and weekends and ensured that when it came to making an offer, we understood what we were getting. Once the offer was accepted they helped negotiate areas of exposure and made us feel really confident that we were getting a good deal. I heard some bad experiences with agents and their teams prior to going into this process, and Andrew Rhoda and Associates completely changed that perspective for me. They are incredibly passionate, smart, and trustworthy. I sincerely hope to work with them in the future and highly recommend them to any prospective buyer or seller. They are fantastic!!!

Great experience working with Andrew Rhoda and his team. They were very informative, and kept us up to date with what our timeline was, what was occurring, and what needed to be done. Not only are they experts in their field, but they are welcoming, kind, and easy to work with. We would definitely work with Andrew Rhoda and his team again!

Andrew Rhoda and Kevin Pankow are a phenomenal team! My partner and I just had our first big move from Boston to LA, and needed to find a new home. They educated us both on the different neighborhoods and took extra time learning about our interests to best match us in a home and neighborhood that would best suit us. It was very evident that Kevin and Andrew went above and beyond to tour homes on our behalf and ultimately seal an awesome deal. They truly felt like our first friends and made the entire process seamless. We can't wait to buy another home with them!

Andrew exudes the professionalism, astute negotiation skills, and attention to detail to make every real estate transaction a smooth process. In today's real estate market, Andrew is the top choice for selecting a realtor who has the market knowledge and capability to surpass the results expected from your real estate agent. We thank you for assisting us with our real estate needs and look forward to many more.

We highly recommend Andrew Rhoda as a real estate agent in Los Angeles, CA. He has ample experience in the field and vast knowledge about the many areas that compose this enormous city.

Andrew Rhoda is a kind person, and a strong communicator with integrity and tenacity. He helped me through a very trying situation - trying to sell a house in a less-than-cooperative housing market. He was patient, attentive, and clearly in it for the long haul. Andrew was the third realtor to attempt to navigate the complicated short-sale of my house - and he was the only successful one! If you need someone to MAKE SURE your house sells, then Andrew is the realtor for you.

Andrew is a man of exemplary character. Throughout the course of my time working with him, I saw how dedicated, trustworthy, and honest Andrew really is. These qualities made me feel sure of his abilities to not only help me but illustrated genuine care for me and my family. In 2011, Andrew helped me in my purchase of a home in Malibu, California. As anyone knows buying home is extremely stressful. And I learned that one of the most important things that you must have in this process is a person that not does not look at the bottom line of a sale, but rather someone that cares about the future of his clients, and upholding those relationships. In addition, I marveled at how organized and reliable Andrew was, throughout everything. Andrew's integrity, tenacity and honesty made this stressful process an actual delight. He is extremely well spoken, eloquent and clear: a strong communicator whose confidence does not overpower.

Andrew did a wonderful job of shepherding us through the purchase of our first home in Los Angeles. We wanted someone who could shed light on a complex process, and we needed someone who didn't hesitate to make himself available to answer our questions over many months. He never lost patience with us, and he was always thinking about new properties and new locations that might pique our interest. We are so happy to have come across him at the very start of our house search.

I am an experienced Australian conveyancing lawyer and I know a good real estate agent when I meet one. Mr. Andrew Rhoda was my buying agent in late 2011 when I was looking for an investment condominium in the West Hollywood area of Los Angeles. I asked him to look for properties in a certain price ranger before I travelled from Australia. He was very thorough in his research and was well prepared when my wife and I arrived in Los Angeles. We visited many properties in a well-planned and coordinated way. Andrew knew intimately the HOA levies and whether a building was going to have a special levy for building renovation. He had done his research- most agents do not. Andrew was extremely professional in his dealings with me and the selling agents. He was also very prompt in replaying to emails and phone calls once we returned to Australia after the initial inspections. It is import that you can really trust your agent and that he or she has your best interests at heart. Sometimes it was difficult to determine if a property was suitable or even the price but he showed a tenacity to get to the essential issues. Andrew went beyond the call of duty to close the deal on my condo and I would have no hesitation in highly recommending him as a buying or selling agent for you. HE has all the qualities that I really value. He is honest and reliable and very hard working. I have no hesitation in endorsing him highly.

I want to give the highest recommendation to Andrew Rhoda as a real estate agent. Andrew perform outstanding work with assisting my son with the purchase of his first home. Andrew not only found him a wonderful property but because I was also involved in the purchase and I did not live in the area he went above and beyond what most real estate agents would do by spent significant time coordinating with all of the other professionals, appraisers, and mortgage lenders, associated with bringing the transaction to a successful and timely closing. He was a pleasure to work with and I would utilize Andrew s services for any future real estate transactions.

I recently had the good fortune to work with Andrew Rhoda on a bank owned listing in Downtown Los Angeles. Being from Orange Country, I didn t have a lot of background in the Downtown area but it never became an issue as Andrew was very generous in sharing his knowledge an resources to my benefit as well as to my client s. His good relationship with the asset manager resulted in affording my client the benefit of some credits toward her purchase when some defects in the condition arose, and having worked with many REO listing agents in the past, I realize that he is an exception and not the rule. I never felt like I was just another deal or that my or my client s business was taken for granted. Andrew s food nature, professionalism and expertise made the transaction pleasant and smooth despite some challenges that could have turned into problems. I am making every effort to work with him and his team in the future and plan to refer my local business to him as often as I am able.

I have known Andrew for several years and have found him to be extremely adept and astute to the Los Angeles area real estate market; specifically the downtown area. Andrew is tenacious and driven and excellent on his follow-up. He reached out to me several months ago; knowing full well that I recently purchased a loft in DTLA and was not currently in the market, to let me know of a property that he thought would be a good investment for me. I agreed to let him show it to me and instantly I could see what he saw in the property. The property was a mess and tied up with a bank and just a real problem, but Andrew saw right through the obstacles and kept his eye on the prize. I agreed to make an offer on the property and I thought Andrew s assessment of where the unit should be was right on track. He went to bat for me and the battle was not at all an easy one. Once the bidding started, it went crazy and Andrew kept his head about himself and worked directly with the asset manager and ultimately won the bid. I know have a wonderful investment property in DTLA and will be actively using Andrew again for any future investment and/or property requirements. Additionally, Andrews support staff is completely competent and the follow-thru on everything was flawless. I would highly recommend Andrew for anyone looking for a knowledgeable, personal and VERY gay real estate agent!

I have bought 6 houses and apartments over the last 15 years and working with Andrew Rhoda was hands down the best experience of all. I met him through a mutual friend and was immediately struck by his friendly, charming, funny demeanor. He is incredibly polite, hard working and knowledgeable and was in constant communication with me about every aspect of the deal. In an extremely competitive market, where I was up against other competitive offers, he went above and beyond strategically to make sure I had the absolute best chance of securing the deal. Additionally, he recommended fantastic people to help with the mortgage process as well as all the tradesmen to do the work on the house once I had made the purchase. He never loses his cool, is perpetually in a happy, upbeat mood and made what can be a nail biting experience as relaxed and fun as possible. I would recommend him without reservation to anyone looking to buy or sell their property in Los Angeles. And he is adorable!
