23 years in the business. Gold Master Medallion Club, a title earned by ranking in the top 10% of Greater Vancouver REALTORS® for a decade. 47 (and growing) client recommendations right here on REW. We're a family team, and we treat our clients like family.

I started this business as a single mom of three and built it one referral at a time, so I know exactly what's at stake when you buy or sell. We price sharp, market hard with our own in-house design team, and negotiate to win. Then we stay in your corner long after the keys change hands.

HOW WE GET YOU AN EDGE

Pricing: For sellers, we study every comparable sale and track the market week to week, so your home is priced to attract the right buyers. For buyers, we build your offer to win without overpaying.

Preparation: We help you stage and prepare your home, often using what you already own and maybe adding a few extra pieces… so it shows at its absolute best.

Marketing: Our in-house design team creates custom brochures, signage, video and ads for every listing. Then our specialized rollout system keeps fresh content going out week after week, so your listing never looks stale.

Communication: This is where so many agents fall short. You'll always know where things stand. We share showing feedback, flag anything that could affect your sale or purchase, and respond quickly when you need us.

Negotiation: We've negotiated hundreds of deals on the North Shore and across Vancouver. We know when to push, when to hold, and how to protect your bottom line.

ELAINE ANDREWS, PREC*

Imagine, Believe & Achieve. I'm driven by two questions: "What if?" and "Why not?" I apply them to every part of my life, including, quite often, my very patient husband.

My business is people and connecting them to what they want. It's challenging and extremely rewarding. In the end, it's the positive connections we make that add up to a life well lived, and it's the small things done well every day that make the biggest difference.

As a long-time North Shore resident, I know these neighbourhoods inside and out. Outside of real estate, I serve on the National Board of Directors of the Kidney Foundation of Canada.

BRENDEN TORRELL, PREC*

I'm social by nature. As a kid I made friends anywhere and everywhere, and that skill is at the heart of what I do: negotiating for our clients with people of all kinds, in all kinds of situations. Understanding people is my strong point.

I grew up on the North Shore and know the character and value of every neighbourhood. (I've also played on pretty much every ball field and basketball court it has.) I follow the market closely: its ebb and flow, its trends, and the opportunities that shift daily.

My sports background gave me a need to win, and I bring it to every deal. I'm up at 5 a.m. most days, balancing our family business with my own growing family: a daughter and twin boys. I know it's the little things, done consistently well, that lead to success.

DANA TORRELL, REALTOR®

I'm an all-in sort of person. When I care about something, I'm on it, and I like to be put to the test. (My mother confirms this has been true since the day I was born.)

I earned my BBA in Marketing at Capilano University, then sharpened my sales skills in Vancouver's food and wine industry, managing over 100 accounts. My heart has always been on the North Shore, with the people who share this community, so joining our family team was a natural fit. I love getting to know our clients and what truly matters to them.

Albert Einstein said, "Try not to become a person of success, but rather try to become a person of value." I'd love for you to put me to that test.

A FEW FUN FACTS

Elaine's idea of perfect happiness: Uncontrollable laughter at the dinner table with family and friends.

Brenden: Former high school basketball MVP, and still just as competitive.

Dana's words to live by: Take 100% responsibility for everything in your life. You're in the driver's seat.

Listed and Sold a condo in North Vancouver for Jane Tenvaanholt in 2025.
I had my beautiful condo for sale with another realtor for over 6 months and had very little interest . I was surprised as its location was in a very desirable location and it was priced right??? A friend recommended Elaine. I gave her a call and in under 2 months it was SOLD!!! Elaine suggested I do a bit of painting and restage from my bohemian theme. Elaine had some spare furniture and staging items that she lent me. New photos and video were done and BOOM it sold!

Elaine Andrews and Brenden Torrell were recommended to me by a trusted family friend. They both went above and beyond what I expected to help me find my dream home. It was my first time buying and throughout the process, I always felt supported - they had excellent communication skills and are very experienced and knowledgeable. Both Elaine and Brenden provided valuable insights regarding the local market as well as any potential risks associated with the buildings that were were viewing. They are very professional and easy to talk to - please look no further. I highly recommend working with them!

My husband and I would highly recommend Brenden for anyone looking to buy or sell a home! This market was very tricky to buy in with limited inventory but we are so happy we had Brenden to guide us. He helped us find our dream home in our dream neighbourhood! We couldn’t be happier! He was highly professional, organized and strategic! We were also very impressed with how he staged our condo - his work made it sparkle ✨ Thank you Brenden!!

The Andrews Group exemplify professionalism, personalism, and perseverance. From our first interaction, with Elaine and Brenden, it is clear they were the best team to facilitate the sale of our home. With selling a unique property, added to an ever-changing market, their confidence, vision and continued persistence to find the right buyer never waivered. Our sales experience was anything but transactional. Committed to their clients, tough negotiators and experts in their profession, was balanced beautifully with their warm, personalized approach. Great listeners and exceptional guides from listing to completion, we could not have asked for a better experience. You will not find a better quality, more professional and respected group than Team Andrews,. Highly, highly recommend!!

Team Andrews lead by Elaine Andrews is a family team of realtors who truly had our interest at heart. After interviewing a few realtors we met Elaine and Brenden, and the first impression we had was that they considered us as family and they were very genuine, walked us through the full process of sale and purchase; reviewed the market analysis. They got our home measured to confirm the square footage of each room. After beautifully staging our home, they had a professional photographer take pictures' of it and made a colorful and very impressive brochure which increased the appeal. Brenden is a professional realtor who helped us through the entire process. He is an honest, upright, hardworking man we have had the pleasure of dealing with. He helped us out in so many ways when we had problems, especially with the purchasing of our condo. He dealt competently with each situation and kept us fully informed. We could contact him at any time and he would promptly reply to any of our concerns and queries, even after the closing was done. We are extremely satisfied and happy that we chose the Andrews Group over the others we had short listed. Wishing you all, at the Andrews group, the very best. Sincerely, Meher and Percy

Elaine Andrews was the most professional, knowledgeable and hardworking realtor that we had ever worked with. She physically assisted us prepare the staging for the photoshoot. The resulting brochure was excellent, and she included a bio of the immediate area which was informative for out of area possible clients. As we entered the market, the real estate prices appeared to be escalating rapidly, and Elaine responded to this unusual situation and advised us accordingly. We were very pleased that our place sold within 4 days of being in the market for over the original asking price.

Dana's client placed an offer on my apartment. My realtor forwarded Dana's emails to me. The way she bargain is very unprofessional and disrespectful to the owner, making me feel like I live in a junky place. This is not the way you should describe someone's apartment just for the sake of getting your offer through. I declined her offer due to the bad feeling I got from her email conversation. I sold my apartment over the asking price and I am very happy I didn't have to do business with Dana.

Elaine and her team went above and beyond the usual realtor tasks when we listed my Mother's condominium with them. Living on Bowen, it isn't the easiest thing to sell a condo located in West Vancouver. It really helped having a local team who were extremely willing to shoulder many of the tasks necessary to get the condo on the market quickly. Sometimes all I had to do was ask and voila!, a task that would have required many hours of my time (work + travel time via ferry) was done in a blink of the eye. I never felt like I was asking too much: every request I made of the team was answered with "yes, of course we can do that for you". And the happy ending was that the condo sold in five days, at above asking price.
