Andrea Korchek

I promised to connect you with by far the best realtor John and I have ever worked with – Andrea Korchek – as a strong candidate to help [celebrity name deleted] find a place to live.We know a lot of realtors, but Andrea just wowed us. She didn’t push, just kept bringing to our attention over a period of six months great properties in our price range. She was honest about what they offered and what they lacked, and had great insight about neighborhoods’ pros and cons. When we saw something we really liked, she was awesome about getting pertinent information. Most importantly, we are in the midst of two escrows as I write – buying a new house and selling our house. Both are big transactions, complicated, with issues. Despite all of that, Andrea has guided the process beautifully. Not only is she a lawyer by training, but has fantastic EQ and can perfectly read when to push and when to pull back. On top of that, she has been really good at keeping us calm during what is a very stressful time. Most telling, the powerful BH realtor handling the seller’s side of our new house wants to hire Andrea to come and work with her. Great compliment. We aren’t done yet – both escrows close within the next three weeks – but the writing on the wall tells us that Andrea will continue to do a superlative job. BTW, I told her I was recommending her to you, so please feel free to contact her directly if you are interested in meeting.

To anyone and everyone, Andrea Korchek is the best realtor on the face of the planet. In 2008 we bought a large, beautiful dream home in Encino. Andrea represented the sellers. She was extremely knowledgeable, helpful, enthusiastic, and a tough negotiator during our purchase. We were impressed. Unfortunately, in 2009, we needed to sell the home that we so loved. My husband and I both felt that Andrea was the perfect choice to help us sell the house in a horrible down market and during our own financial turmoil. Not only did she know the house and the neighborhood well, she brought an energy, and a certain level of sophistication, elegance, and professionalism into the equation. Her attention to detail and her aesthetic sensibilities remain unmatched in our minds. She was kind, empathetic, and always represented our best interests. Our eventual buyer may not have come to the table with a solid offer without Andrea’s tactful pursuit. She was absolutely instrumental in making the deal happen and we’re grateful for both her efforts on our behalf and the results of those efforts. We highly recommend Andrea Korchek. She’s a lovely person. The only bad part about having closed the deal is that I miss talking to her every day. Feel free to call me if you have any questions.

Dear Andrea, Thank you for helping us with both the sale and purchase of our homes last year! Your expertise accompanied by your calm, kind and intelligent manner guided us through this very emotional process. At times you acted as our financial advisor, psychologist, friend, and, of course, realtor. The best testament to your qualifications is exhibited by the fact that every realtor that we encountered ( and we met many) loves and respects you. Now, one year past our move we fondly recall the many times that you guided us through numerous stressful moments. Andrea, thank you again for being the best realtor/friend ever.

I met Andrea Korchek approximately a dozen years ago. When my husband and I were considering selling our home, she was the first person I thought of. I’ve always enjoyed Andrea, she’s fun and she’s got a very good reputation. As an advocate there is no one better. Her integrity always put our interest above her own. I – we – trust her completely. A couple of times in the process of selling our home, I questioned whether or not we still wanted to sell. Andrea never missed a beat. She wanted us, above all, to be happy with whatever decision we made. This was never about her commission, but always about what we wanted. Not just her words, and she did assure me often when I worried I was wasting her time, but in her every action. We highly recommend Andrea. Her integrity, her honesty and forthrightness, her competence, sense of humor, were definitely mandatory to a good experience, but the plus is that Andrea possesses a real insight into all the people around her – not just us, everyone involved, which is a real asset. I trust her completely and will be using Andrea to buy our next home. I can’t imagine why anyone wouldn’t choose her! We are available to answer any questions.

Dear Andrea, Although my letter is long overdue, I wanted to circle back to you and express how much I appreciated your representation with the sale of my Studio City home and the purchasing of my new home in Toluca Lake. I’ve purchased many properties in the past and have contracted with several well-known agents. Until we met, I was convinced that no one agent could continue to provide what I call “par excellence service” on a continuous or long-term basis. I found that an agents loyalty was generally based upon the “what have you done for me lately?” approach. I’m so happy to express in writing that not only have you continued to be there for me, you’ve been a great mentor for other agents, buyers and sellers. Endorsing you as an agent is easy and overdue. Anyone who has the opportunity to work with you is not only associating themselves with a wonderful agent – professional, experienced, and extremely knowledgeable about the market place – also with someone who believes in the “basics” paramount to grow any business – know your client and customer service. As you continue to build on your clientele, please feel free to use me as I reference as I would be very inspired to communicate and endorse you. Without contemplation, your legacy in the Valley is not just the volume of work, but the long lasting relationships established you have established. You are a great agent, but more importantly, a remarkable person.

Through the years I have had the good fortune to buy and sell several properties throughout the San Fernando Valley and greater Los Angeles area. I have worked with numerous Realtors but I can honestly say Andrea Korchek is simply light years beyond the rest. As a former executive with Warner Bros. music, I’ve learned first hand what it takes to be a successful negotiator and to be a “deal closer” rather than a “deal breaker.” Andrea is a closer! Her experience, knowledge of her profession and firm handle on the ever-changing Real Estate market rank her as “Simply The Best.” However, what truly separates Andrea from the pack is her unique ability to understand the complicated and personal needs of both buyer and seller. She closes the deal without compromising either. Having recently concluded two large transactions with Andrea, I remain most impressed and grateful for her attention to detail and overall expertise.

Andrea, I can’t speak too strongly about how impressed and happy I have been working with Andrea and having her represent my projects. As a professional builder and developer, I have the benefit of having worked with many agents, brokers and agencies over the past 25 years, so to that extent, my opinion is somewhat educated. And Andrea stands out…way out… from those I have come across. Andrea is a rare talent. She brings intelligence, charm, competence and resourcefulness to her work. Her “we can get this done” attitude is real and legitimate. Andrea brings her knowledge and vast experience. Her guidance and advice have proven to be invaluable and I say that with sincerity. Andrea knows what she is doing. She’s a total pro. She’s never flustered or without a good idea and a way to handle things. And her ideas are smart and logical. She knows how to get results. Representing a house for sale is much, much more than just putting an ad in the paper and smiling when clients come to look. It’s the thousands of subtle and even not clearly noticeable things that need to be done by the agent to get the property sold and to assure that the transaction goes smoothly during and after the sale. Over and over again I would see Andrea resolving, almost magically, some issue that could easily have been the undoing of the sale had it been mishandled. I am a big fan of Andrea and think myself to be lucky to have a professional relationship with her.

Dear Andrea, We want to sincerely thank you for all your hard work and your prudent advice from beginning to end. Thanks to the overwhelming recommendation from a friend, we decided to interview you and almost immediately after, list our home with you. Although we were recovering from a failed escrow with another agent and battling an incredibly tough market, you never seemed worried, even though we felt tense until the last moment. We remember in the beginning when you assured us that WE would be making all the decisions in selling our home and NOT YOU, as our agent. In previous experiences selling/buying, we had felt almost powerless under the pressure of other agents or the market. Finally, we felt supported and empowered. We believe that with you we were able to give our house the best chance possible to look its best. Everything from the breathtaking color photos of our home, to the delicious fresh baked goodies at the open houses, to your warm and personal approach, made our house stand out. We hope that all our future experiences buying/selling call all be this positive. The only sad part, aside from saying goodbye to our home, will be saying goodbye to an incredible realtor and friend.

The best and the brightest: Andrea has all the wonderful attributes a seller or buyer is looking for in their agent. She quietly handles everything in a competent, smooth, positive and uplifting manner. She is a hard worker…but makes it all look effortless. She is very smart with a keen insight…but not at all pushy. She is gentle but strong and she is way beyond capable. She is a buyer and seller’s dream agent. I trusted her judgment and recommendations completely…and I loved working with her. I will recommend her to all my friends and family…they would never find anyone better…she truly is the best!

I am so grateful to have Andrea Korchek as my broker/agent for the past 7 years. She was there for me when I needed to find a house to purchase and I had very little time to do so. She is always professional, objective and more importantly, extremely attentive to my needs as a homeowner. Her personality and style when dealing with other agents, sellers and buyers is unsurpassed and no detail or administrative service is ever overlooked! Andrea has helped me buy and sell my home and I will be forever in debt to have had such a wonderful experience in doing so because she made the whole journey from open houses to signing paperwork effortless!
