Andrea Florez, The Exception Realty

It was time to buy our first pre-existing home, and we were nervous. It had been many years since buying our last home from a builder. So many things about the real estate industry had changed, and we were concerned it was going to take us some time to find a buyer's agent that we could trust.

Having a buyer's agent is critical for so many reasons. Finding the right homes within your price and feature criteria, arranging home tours, negotiating with the sellers' agent, managing inspections, reviewing contingencies...the list of considerations is huge. We are not investors, and we may never buy another home again, so we wanted to work with someone who was a true pro, easy to work with, and knowledgeable about the local market.

Andrea Florez fit the bill perfectly.

We had an initial meeting to discuss what we were looking for, and she asked a ton of questions to fully understand our requirements, the must-have vs. nice-to-have stuff, our timeline, and so much more. She provided a fantastic overview of what she offers as an agent, and we quickly became very comfortable with the idea of Andrea representing our interests in the transaction.

Andrea had great knowledge of the local market, her team was coordinated perfectly in managing our search, and she also had great relationships with other folks involved in the transaction. She took us on well-organized tours that were respectful of our time and the information we provided to her, and it was not long before she helped us locate what would become our new home.

Like all real estate transactions, there was tons of communication going back and forth across all parties. She helped us manage a couple of rounds of negotiations, and then worked with escrow and our lender to help us close in a couple of weeks.

The process could not have gone any smoother, and we are incredibly satisfied with the experience Andrea provided as our buyer's agent. We would choose her again in an instant, and we highly recommend her and The Exception Realty if you need fantastic and friendly service for your real estate transaction. Thank you, Andrea!

Andrea was an amazing realtor and representative for our family. Even though they are located quite a drive from our location we trusted others who recommended her. They were spot on and we could not be more pleased with our experience!

I recently closed on a home and Andrea Florez was there every step of the way. This is the second time I’ve bought a home and it was never assumed that I was completely aware of the home buying process. Andrea always set the expectation and briefed me on the processes that would be taking place. Anytime I had concerns, she was available to listen, would reach out to the seller’s agent, and promptly relayed the information to me. Communication was superb; oftentimes it felt like chatting with a close friend. Buying a home is a big responsibility and Andrea really helped me to be extremely confident in my purchase. We visited the home multiple times to review concerns and she created an opportunity for me to get expert insight regarding future home value. Most people would say that these traits are typical of all realtors. Let me tell you, Andrea went above and beyond by providing the most amazing service ever. Despite plans to head out of town early on a Friday morning, she asked her family to wait, literally dropped everything, and got me in to view the home I ultimately purchased. Andrea’s experience in the industry is evident and her professionalism is incomparable. When I mention Andrea in conversation, I let people know she’s not only amazing, she’s the Exception!

I worked with Andrea during our search to find our first family home. She was attentive, understanding and had a no pressure approach which was super important as a first time home buyer. Additionally, she spent the important time on buyer education which was above and beyond what I received from the other realtors I spoke to. We would definitely work with Andrea again.

High marks for Exception Realty
Thanks to Andrea Florez
Moving from Florida to be with kids and grands was a big challenge from the start. But Exception Realty helped my wife and me manage without a single problem. Andrea Florez's online site is where we began our house search and had a hunch that she and Exception would be a good place to start. We were right...all communications, suggestions and referrals were useful and resulted in our working with an agent who was personal, knowledgeable, and best of all accessible. Our house hunting efforts were all well planned and strategically useful using maps and schedules. We learned about multiple areas to home search using our wishes as a guide. We were completely confident in our agent and found the home in a community that meets our lifestyle and price. Exception Realty has the human touch and understands the value of good customer service.

Our journey to becoming first-time homeowners was made exceptional by the dynamic duo of Andrea and her assistant, Bella, from The Exception Realty. From the outset, Andrea's professionalism and Bella's assistance made a lasting impression.

Andrea's listening skills and anticipation of our needs demonstrated her commitment to personalized service. She guided us patiently through the intricate process, answering our questions and ensuring our comfort as first-time buyers. Bella, her capable assistant, was instrumental in showing us various homes, adding another layer of expertise to the experience.

They accommodated our schedules, swiftly showing us potential homes, and maintaining open communication at every step. This responsiveness instilled confidence and made the process efficient and enjoyable.

What truly them apart was their genuine care for our best interests. Andrea's attention to detail and Bella's support showcased a comprehensive approach to our satisfaction. Their communication throughout the process kept us informed and empowered, turning what could have been a daunting experience into a positive journey.

In conclusion, we highly recommend The Exception Realty for their professionalism, communication, and unwavering dedication. Their collaborative efforts made our first-time home buying experience seamless, and we are sincerely grateful for their expertise and support!

Andrea is always a pleasure to work with. She helped us find our first home in 2018 and made the process as easy as she could. Now we just sold the same home in 2023 and again, Andrea made it just as easy. We were in a time crunch and Andrea was able to get the entire process going and closed within 30 days! Great experience. We definitely recommend The Exception Realty to anyone searching to buy or sell. Thanks so much Andrea!

From beginning to the end, Andrea and her team with Stephanie were at the top of their game! Their marketing approach worked fantastically! One weekend of a couple of two-hour open houses produced over 100 visitors and resulted in 8 offers! The property sold for $45,000 over listing price! Escrow closed in 15 days! She and her team know what they are doing and explained things in an understandable manner! I had undivided attention of each of the team throughout the process! They work hard to put every necessary ingredient into a successful campaign!
No question that the next property I sell will be sold by The Exception Realty!

I am a Home Loan Advisor with Golden 1 Credit Union. It was such a pleasure working with Andrea Florez. She was very helpful, kind, considerate, not aggressive like some realtors I've worked with in the past. Everything was very pleasant and smooth. Our clients are very happy that their first home purchase was stress-free. I am looking forward to our next deal together!

So I was really nervous going into our first home purchase. The only other big purchase I ever made was buying my first new car on my own. I didn’t know any of the steps, tricks, or home buying lingo so we really went into this blind. But meeting Andrea and her team they really broke it down to help me understand everything that was going on. I know we kept asking the same questions but they never made us feel uncomfortable and always made sure they took the time to answer all our questions. One observation we noticed is they really do work as a team, and at the end when we finally got our keys it really felt like we knew everyone personally. I’m really glad we got to work with them, and I know in a few years I feel really comfortable knowing we get to work with them again.

Andrea is amazing. She helped us purchase our home back in 2021. She knew right away that we would love the location and the home layout based on the pros and cons of previous homes we have looked at. The moment we walked in we absolutely loved the property and Andrea was ready to put In an offer. This lady doesn’t skip a beat. Thanks Andrea for being the very best realtor!

My wife and I don’t recall how we managed to get in contact with Andrea Florez. We had planned to interview several realtors to determine whom could best help us sell our home and buy a new home. We greatly needed to downsize to a smaller home. Mrs. Florez was the second realtor we interviewed and our first choice. She was calm, Professional, extremely knowledgeable about the market area and our Woodlake Village community. She introduced herself to us with a custom report prepared on our home, including comparable listing prices in the nearby community. We were impressed. The entire experience with Mrs. Florez, Andrea has been remarkably clean, Efficient, friendly and thoughtful. Andrea exhibit a great deal of confidence, and it made us know that we could trust her to guide us through the entire process seamlessly and she worked with a mortgage broker of our choosing, no questions asked. Together they became our team and made this an enjoyable home sale/purchase experience. We sold our home in within a week following a well attended open house, and we found a new home in less than two weeks, with Andrea’s help. I would recommend her to everyone and anyone who is interested in purchasing a home in the surrounding community of Roseville, Rocklin and the greater Sacramento area.

She always responded within a matter of minutes to any questions we had and did everything she could to make sure we understood everything and made it as easy as possible. When we got the keys to our home she noticed that the previous owners left it really messy and she got the whole house cleaned for us! You rock Andrea!

Finding Andrea was a dream come true for my wife and I, Andrea helped us with the purchase of a home in Lincoln. With us being from San Jose and out of the area Andrea went over and above in taking care of things for us, meeting with contractors and getting us estimates for things we wanted done in and around the home. Andrea even met us at the title company in San Mateo to help us with the signing of final documents. Andrea will make you feel comfortable right from the start, working with Andrea is more like working with a friend! I do not hesitate in giving Andrea the highest recommendations. Anyone looking for a home in the Sacramento area would do well in contacting Andrea to help with you real estate needs. Russ

Andrea went above the call of duty during the entire sales process. She was responsive, knowledgable of the paperwork needed, offered great suggestions on preparing the offer and was patient with my wife and I. We saw the home we purchased through her on a Sunday and went right to the office without hesitation to write up the offer that day. Her follow-up was diligent and she helped us with service providers that they had reviewed and supported. She visited us after the sale went through to assure everything was going smoothly.
