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.

Hiring Brenden Torrell as our Realtor was the best decision we have made! He came highly recommended from our friends so we knew we were in good hands. He did a lot of research on the area we were looking to buy and provided us with purchase history, previous sales history and comparable listings. He provided us with detailed figures so we were well informed and advised us on appropriate offer prices. He has great negotiation skills and was very clear on all the details and kept us grounded when it came to offer prices. Brenden was very professional and punctual to all our meetings and showings and played part time therapist to us talking us through the big decisions. We would highly recommend Brenden to those buyers and sellers- he will not disappoint! Thank you again Brenden for all your help and support, we love our new home!

Mike Delesalle worked with Andrews Group - Real Estate G PREC* in 2018.

Our experience with the Andrews Group was expectional . The entire process went smoothly because of the the agents personal touch and extremely high intergrity. We were able to search out properties and candidly discuss all aspects of each one which helped narrow the search. Once we focused on a property the Andrews Group did everything they could to ensure the details were sorted out in our best interest We highly recommend this group and will be happy to persoally refer others to work with them Our experience was that “They get it” and no one had to explain it to them!!!

We were very satisfied with using the Andrews Group to sell our home that had been in our family since 1968. The team met with us on several occasions to evaluate the housing market in our area, and to determine a sales strategy during a fluctuating market. With several family members involved, it’s never easy to come to an agreement on an emotional sale, but the Andrews Group kept us all in communication and on track during the important decisions. The Andrews Group developed a detailed sales strategy that we could all agree on. Not only did their team sell our house in a short period of time, the price we received was above our expectations. When issues came up during the sale there was never any drama, the Andrews Group always had a solution to the problem. They also had recommendations on the removal of an underground oil tank, and had references for handymen to fix cosmetic concerns with the house before the sale. If you want a worry free experience with your real estate transaction then I highly recommend the professionals at the Andrews Group.

I am over the moon with the purchase of our new home. Elaine and her team were relentless in their search for our family home. We saw many many homes over many months and they still did not give up. They were so prompt at getting back to us when we had questions and always kept us in the loop. I have bought many properties in the past and no agent has ever provided this level of service. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!

Stephan Bernhard 2017-09-27 Google

Helped Stephan Bernhard to buy & sell a home(s) in 2017.

We were looking for a house at a time when home prices in Vancouver were soaring. Every time we found a place that we liked, there were numerous other prospective buyers, and the place went for much more than we found it was worth. It was very discouraging and we thought that we would never manage to find a place that we both liked and could afford. Elaine continued reassuring us, and waded with us through all the places she thought would be a good option for our needs. She even started looking into expired listings in order to increase our options. She finally managed to find a place that we loved, she helped us negotiating and finally buying it, she recommended mortgage brokers, and simply helped us with every aspect of the purchase process. We highly appreciated her efforts and dedication, and we are very thankful for her support. We can recommend her to everyone as a very knowledgeable, experienced, and empathetic person, and we are sure that she can help everyone find the home they will love.

I would like to thank the Andrews group in helping us to sell our home. Despite a recent downturn in the market, we were able to get our price at the higher end of appropriate. This was a direct result of the market strategy and commitment of the Andrews group. We have had experience with this group before. The reason we chose to use them, was because they follow through with their strategy plan, and have the resources and determination to see it through. Additionally, despite the fact that we were away for much of the term, they went the extra mile in making arrangements, and making sure that things closed smoothly and without any issues. We would also like to thank the Andrews group in helping us purchase another home at the lower end of appropriate, with the same results. We would definitely use them again. P & K

Andrews Group's high level of expertise and marketing, sold our home within weeks at a price that gave us more opportunity in our next purchase. Always keen to show us whatever, and wherever, from viewing downtown to Port Moody, the professionalism, work ethic and attention to our needs was unmatched. Elaine's exceptional negotiating skills and real estate knowledge secured us a fabulous town home in a great neighborhood that we absolutely love. It was so nice to work with an honest and genuinely caring team that made the process easy and comfortable. I would highly recommend Andrews Group to anyone buying or selling, you wont find a more passionate, personable and collaborative team in real estate that truly looks out for your best interest.
