Testimonials

"Andrea was outstanding from start to finish. Her knowledge of the area is deep, and she's a genuinely great advisor — not just someone showing houses, but someone who helps you think through the decision. I was buying from out of state, and she went above and beyond doing remote video tours so I could evaluate properties without being there in person. She's experienced, persistent, and worked hard on my behalf throughout the process. I recommend her highly." - Michael C.

"Andrea was our buyer's agent when we bought our Burlington condo in 2020. She did such a terrific job back then that we asked her to be our seller's agent when we put it on the market this year. As expected Andrea and her team did a terrific job - professional, thorough, very knowledgeable, pleasant and available. Sold our property promptly. A great advocate for us both times. We highly recommend Andrea!" - Alex J.

"Andrea and the …team were AMAZING!!  As my agent, Andrea was on it 24/7, even replying to emails and texts in the wee hours as I searched for a home. Andrea was instrumental in avoiding a major disaster during the government shutdown, which held up my loan approval. She worked with the sellers and convinced them to hold off on closing for more than a month! And she gave me great advice and negotiated hard to make sure the deal didn't fall apart. I was amazed at how effectively she handled things, it was like a walk in the park for her. Long story short, we closed and even the sellers were all smiles at the end. Highly recommend Andrea and the …team to anyone looking to buy a home or condo." - Ryan M.

"Where do I begin to describe our experience with Andrea? How about this; We had a closing date for the sale of our house just 3 months after the initial consultation! There were some hurdles to jump and Andrea had our back every step of the way. She gave us advice, tackled issues on her own, and kept us updated with every development. Andrea does this with great optimism and a smile on her face. She went above and beyond to resolve issues while we were out of state. That involved multiple trips to our property for physical and aesthetic work. I will passionately recommend Andrea Hossley to anyone that asks for the rest of my days. And you will too. Thank you Andrea and the Ridgeline team!" - Michael & Allison H.

"Andrea was super helpful and made purchasing a house on the other side of the country as stress-free as it could possibly be. We were given thorough tours and commentary, were always made aware of which steps we needed to take next, and were provided a list of people to provide inspections, power of attorney since we couldn't attend closing in person, etc., all of whom were also amazing!" - Kyler S.

"Where to start?  Andrea and her team were incredible from start to finish! The search for the perfect house began almost a year ago.  My husband and I must have visited at least two dozen homes.  Andrea went with us on every viewing.  She was always extremely accommodating and on-time.  She was also well prepared so that in the event we wanted to make an offer, she could have it all drawn up and submitted within an hour or two.  She always gave us her candid, researched opinion as to the value of the home as well as its various pros & cons.  We ultimately made four offers over the course of several months, three of which were unsuccessful. After each disappointment, Andrea was sympathetic but also optimistic.  She kept saying that when we found the perfect home for us, all the stars would align.  And she was right!  We did eventually find the perfect house, and Andrea made sure that we got it.Next we had to sell our condo.  It was an extremely challenging sale because the exterior needs a ton of very expensive work. Also, for related reasons, it needed to be a cash-only sale.  Andrea helped us price it so that we got competitive offers, but she was also scrupulously honest and forthcoming with all the prospective buyers, making sure they knew exactly what they were getting into.  We trusted Andrea completely to strike the delicate balance between candidness and encouragement.  We ended up with an offer over our asking price, which was great, but even more importantly, I know that the buyer was more than adequately informedWe cannot recommend Andrea highly enough. She was always responsive & professional - but even more critically, she was genuinely warm and supportive.  We really felt she was in our corner rooting for us all the way.  She’s an excellent realtor and just an all around lovely and delightful person.  We’re almost sad that the journey is over because it was such a pleasure working with her." - Heather W.

"Andrea I have to say you have been so remarkable this entire time. Never have I ever seen a realtor go above and beyond for a client the way you are with this one. Thank you for everything you’re doing to help make this experience easier. We are proud to work with you!” - LENDER REVIEW, Sage Collins, East Rise Credit Union

"Andrea Hossley was beyond amazing to work with. My (now) husband and I were getting married less than 2 weeks before we were closing on our house, super stressed about everything, and Andrea kept such a level head about everything. It was a very rocky road with our particular seller, but Andrea took us under her wing and advocated for us. She was very responsive to messages from us, and always explained things in terms we could understand — and as first time home buyers, that was a lot!" - Caitlin W.

She was there with us at every step, and always had a positive attitude and good sense of humor. She also recommended a great inspector and contractors… We love our new home, and are really glad we worked with Andrea and the rest of the team." - Karen A.

"Andrea is the best realtor you could ask for.  She talked to us about what we were looking for, and narrowed down our search.  She was also open to looking into properties we found online.  We were shopping from out of state, and we sent her to a lot of houses! She video recorded walk throughs for us, and was excellent with finding things she was concerned about to point out to us.  She went above and beyond what we could have expected.  If you want your dream property...use her!!" - Dennis M.

"Our realtor, Andrea, …was incredibly helpful in our home buying process. We first met her as the listing agent on a house we requested to see. So often, those agents jump at the chance to snatch up a new client who is not currently represented in a sometimes obnoxious, in your face way. We had the complete opposite experience with Andrea. She respected that we weren't interested in an agent right away and wanted to take our time looking on our own. She was kind, friendly, knowledgeable, and drama free. After we found a place we liked, we hired her to help us through the process since she was the only agent we'd met while searching that wasn't desperately trying to convince us why we should hire them. The whole process went smoothly and everyone we came into contact with through the agency was polite and helpful. I'd highly recommend them and Andrea specifically!" - Laura K.

"Andrea made finding our new home as smooth and painless as possible. Her constant kindness made her a pleasure to work with and made a very stressful process as enjoyable as possible.  We felt confident we were working with a true professional at a time when the real estate market was at its most competitive and felt even more daunting than usual. Andrea showed her knowledge of more variables than we’d ever considered, and always had our best interests at heart. She worked with us through an evolving timeline and list of “musts” and “can’ts”, got us into showings day-of on more than one occasion, and was always happy to meet us where we were throughout the process. We appreciate Andrea’s great work that much more as she made our search a success and helped us come home to Vermont while we navigated selling and visiting homes from out of state. We would recommend Andrea to anyone looking for a realtor in Vermont and are so glad we got to work with her." - Stephen H.

"Andrea was true professional the whole way through the 3 year process. She has a great understanding of the VT real estate market and a breadth of contextual and historical knowledge about the buying process and the region. She is always responsive and even proactive, in the best interest of her clients. Her capacity to be patient and understanding of her clients needs are exceptional - not once in the process did I feel like I was being mislead or an inconvenience. However, Andrea's superpower is her interpersonal communication skills and ability to form connection with the people around her. She'll negotiate on your behalf, she'll teach you if you need teaching, and she'll use her network to your benefit, and more. Whether you're an experienced investor or a first time homebuyer, you can trust Andrea to get the job done well - I'm glad I did!" - Thomas A.
