I have already submitted this portion in another survey regarding Andrea Montague. Briefly, in recap, Andrea and Tate Real Estate are the perfect choice. Never had, in 6 moves over the years, such good, professional service. A "10" for EVERY category.
Eugene Blair
Andrea Montague was our realtor on the purchase of our new home. She actually began showing us homes several years ago when we expressed interest in moving to Huntersville. She was patient and when we got serious a couple months ago, she began researching homes and sending us listings to review. From that, we got active, sold our home in South Carolina and began an intense search up here. During the course of that search, she provided us listings that we viewed and finally found the perfect home. Once that was accomplished, she hand held us through the entire "mysterious" process of all the processes and paperwork. She proactively told us what to expect at each step and was instrumental in making it a very smooth activity. I would highly recommend Andrea to anyone who wants to get the best house at the best price. She is an excellent negotiator! Gene and Claire Blair
Lisa & James
From the moment that I met Andrea I knew she was the absolute best choice for a realtor to help us sell our home. Not only did she have the marketing expertise and market knowledge that comes with Allen Tate, she was also extremely buttoned up and efficient but always personable and caring. She realized that for us, while time was of the essence, it wasn’t just a financial transaction. It was a very emotional transition from a home that we loved and adored and frankly didn’t get to live in as long as we would have hoped. Our process was a little more complex with a corporate relo but Andrea was the voice of assurance. She was always 2 steps ahead. Every single time we had a call with her my husband and I hung up and said “Andrea is on it.” Every. Single. Time! We were fortunate to have chosen an amazing realtor so our home sold quickly. For those of you who are considering purchasing or selling a home especially during these times, we can only say that we would choose Andrea all over again. She was accessible, proactive and went above and beyond to make this one of the easiest parts of our relocation process. She will exceed your expectations and deliver what she promises. With gratitude and admiration for one of the best real estate professionals that we’ve ever had the pleasure of working with! Thank you Andrea!!!
James D. Belk
Andrea was a great person to work with. We are not easy people to please, as she discovered. As an older couple, we had set standards we expected on a home and Andrea, bless her heart, was put through the ringer. We searched homes in Belmont, My. Holly, Cramerton, Harrisburg, etc. and she hung in there with us. Had one possible that fell through until she found us a place in Huntersville. We highly recommend Andrea for anyone's home search. She is friendly and has a 'never give up' attitude. Thanks Andrea!
Paula Cooper
As a first time seller, Andrea made my experience stellar! She walked me through the process, ensured I stayed on task in preparing to place the house on the market including helping when I was totally overwhelmed and ensuring I had everything I needed to make the best decisions when selling my home. She was exactly who I needed in my corner. Even when the buying process became a bit frustrating because I could not find the house that fit my needs, Andrea assured me it would work out. Andrea was able to find the perfect home for me and supported me all the way through closing. I am glad to say I am in my forever home. If I had to do this all again, I would choose to have Andrea represent me again. She is very attentive, detail oriented, and a joy to be around!
Gary D. Compton
Andrea made a very challenging long distance home search and move into a wonderful and successful experience. Her professionalism and experience were key as she researched and worked with us on every detail from beginning to post closing.
Emilee Alesi
Andrea was absolutely fantastic. We couldn't have asked for someone more knowledgeable, flexible, and responsive. She very much over exceeded my expectations and my husband says my expectations are always high :) We will look forward to keeping in touch with her and using her in our future real estate needs. Matt Barger with insurance was very helpful and responsive as well. He helped get us insurance coverage. I was glad he was also with Allen Tate so my contacts were from the same location/company.
Tim Burns
Andrea was great in assisting with our home search. We relocated from Indiana and she did an excellent job of lining up our wants/needs in a home. As well as dedicated her time during the weeks leading up to our closing. Thanks again Andrea.
John Herbert
Andrea was wonderful to work with and made a move across the country a relatively easy experience. She was professional, reliable, and her expertise contributed to things going as smoothly as possible. I would highly recommend Andrea!
Brian Lamb
Andrea was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout our moving process. Not only did she do a great job of showing us homes that we specified, Andrea went above and beyond to explore the surrounding areas (parks, restaurants, etc) to make us feel more comfortable with our decision. Also, being a relocation client, it was reassuring to know Andrea was handling many aspects (inspections, survey, etc) that I wasn't able to do from Wisconsin.
Rania Geraisy
Andrea was an absolute pleasure to work! She was on top of everything and went over and beyond for our mutual clients! Looking forward to working on many more deals together! Thank you again!!
Maria Conti Tramontana
My husband and I worked with Andrea as first time home buyers and we absolutely adore her! She was so kind and easy going, and she took the time to explain every single step involved in buying a home. She went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable throughout the, at times intimidating, home buying process. She knew how important this purchase was and encouraged us to never settle until we found the home we knew was meant for us. So glad we worked with her and we'd highly recommend her to friends and family in the future. :)
Jason Daniel Conte
Andrea Montague is the ultimate real estate agent. She is knowledgeable, professional, and clearly cares about making sure her clients are 100% happy. She provided a tremendous amount of helpful information throughout the process and really made us feel like we were her only clients. If you are looking for a home and want an agent who is completely focused on your needs, Andrea is that agent!
Brandie and Tate Moorefield
We honestly do not know what we would have done without Andrea’s guidance, experience and support during the process of buying our home. We were from out of town, my husband had already begun working in the area, I was still at our previous address, and we had limited time to search for a house. We were moving to an unfamiliar area and we needed an expert. With my husbands schedule we really could only dedicate one weekend to our house search. Andrea had a great inventory of homes lined up for us to see. With each home we viewed, I was so incredibly impressed by her knowledge of homes. She identified issues within the homes, or pointed out positive aspects. We truly felt like she was watching out for us the entire time. But most importantly we were impressed with how heard we felt. Each home we were shown illustrated to us that Andrea listened to our wants and needs and took the time to find homes that adequately met with our criteria. We fell in love with the last house we saw. That’s when we saw Andrea’s expertise shine through. She fought for us the entire time. She helped us make a competitive offer so that we did not lose the house of our dreams to a bidding war. Once our offer was accepted, she was able to make sure we were able to get the house inspected quickly. She made sure she was with us during the inspection process. And again, I don’t know what we would have done without her. She kept in constant contact with us the entire time, even though we were in a different area. She took care of us through any issues that came up with the purchase of our home (and even the sale of our other home even though it didn't involve her!). We constantly say that if it weren’t for Andrea, we don’t believe we would have pulled this all off. She handled everything, and it reduced the stress that we were under. It is rare to find a service level like what we were shown. I would recommend Andrea to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the area. The bar is instantly raised when you work with Andrea. She works tirelessly to ensure that your goal to buy or sell a home is as smooth a process as possible. If we ever sell this house or need to purchase another one, we would definitely utilize her again. Brandie Moorefield
Jonathan Escondo
Andrea Montague made our home buying experience very easy. She is very knowledgeable of the area and listened very well to our needs in a home. Andrea was very quick to respond with any of our questions and concerns with great professionalism and courtesy.... Thanks for everything Andrea!
Kerry Swing
Andrea has made the entire experience of buying a house enjoyable! My husband and I went back & forth between building or buying. She was out walking through dirt, tall weeds helping us find the perfect piece of land to driving long distances to find us the perfect home. We couldn't be happier with our new home and the perfect realtor to help us find it! My husband and I are very thankful and consider Andrea family now. She held our hand through the entire process. She was always available to answer questions , talk you through stressful situations and give you meaningful advice. We will always recommend Andrea!!!! Thank you again so much!!!
Ches K. King
With class, punctual, attentive with no delay at all, focused on your needs, great research and preparation- Andrea Montague managed to ease the process and add a soft touch, assure our interest and add her ideas to achieve best result for us. We have a great property now and wish we were shopping for another just to be able to work with Andrea again. Thank you Andrea.
Jill Fyock
Andrea was great to work with! We were relocating and could not be involved in the process first hand, but she stepped right in! She really is a true advocate. I would highly recommend.
Noah and Jackie
We could not be more happy with the level of dedication and the personal touch Andrea brought to the table throughout the entire home buying process. We worked with Andrea a few years ago. This was a very busy time in our lives, and we ended up deciding to put our home search on hold. We reconnected with Andrea this year and definitely brought a challenge to the table this time. We had a very tight timeline to find, close on, and move into a new home. Combine that timeline with the travelling for work, and challenge is an understatement. Andrea was really receptive to our needs and really wanted to help us find the perfect home. She was always available for questions or to give some advice, and anytime we decided we wanted to see a house she did everything she could to schedule a showing as soon as possible. After a few offers that didn't go through, we found the perfect home for us and our growing family. We also closed in the time frame we needed!!! We were very fortunate to have an agent like Andrea on our side throughout the whole process, and in the end felt like we had gained a friend. We highly recommend Andrea, and already have. While we she was helping us find our home she also worked with my sister and brother-in-law, and helped them close on a home in a similar timeline. When the time comes to begin this whole process again we look forward to working with Andrea again. We are sold on Andrea!!
Rachel Lewis
Andrea was an excellent agent. She was very knowledgeable and provided guidance throughout the whole process. She was quick to respond to all my questions/concerns and made me feel 100% confident in my purchase!
D. Dionne
Andrea was a absolute pleasure to work with. We found our dream home and she was extremely helpful throughout the home finding and buying process. Relocating from another state we were note entirely familiar with NC laws and protocols and Andrea ensured we had everything we needed to facilitate a drama-free closing. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a home in the greater Charlotte area.
Alice Wood
When I first began thinking about moving from Georgia to North Carolina to be near my daughter, my daughter suggested I get in touch with Andrea. I did so and am grateful to have Andrea as my Realtor. She immediately began seeking a home for me in NC that met my needs even though I had not decided when I might move. For months Andrea kept me updated on what houses were on the market in which I might be interested. On December 20 the ideal house came on the market; Andrea emailed me and within just a few days I had a contract on my new home. Because of Andrea's knowledge and contacts, I was able to get a loan, inspections, and surveys completed in time for me to close on my new home and move in on January 26--just 5 weeks after she notified me of the right home for me. Thanks Andrea for your knowledge and professionalism and the joy you bring.
Steven Swing
We contacted Allen Tate in Huntersville, NC when we first knew we were being transferred to Charlotte, NC. Andrea Montague contacted us within an hour of our initial request. From there Andrea was an amazing "Power House" of information, energy and professionalism. From that moment on we not only had the best Real Estate Agent, we had a new and wonderful friend. It's very difficult to move into a new area but Andrea bridged that difficulty with such ease that we were soon able to determine where we wanted to live. Andrea asked questions and listened intently to our answers to determine what our needs were. She made several suggestions about possible areas and neighborhoods and we felt confident that we made the right decision. She left no stone un-turned to make sure we saw the existing home inventory and new home construction. Andrea is a phenomenal agent and the Allen Tate team is amazing as well. We felt taken care of from start to finish and that's not all: Andrea continues to check in on us and made sure our move - in went well. I would most definitely refer Andrea to anyone looking to buy or sell. She really does work specifically for you. Thank you Andrea!
Alyson Branch
Andrea is the absolute best! Relocating across states with an 18 month old & while pregnant is no easy task but Andrea made the process seamless and stress-free. She made us feel like we were her only clients as she was always able to make time for us and made the process move along quickly. She was so easy to work with, not only because she is great at what she does, but she is also such a kind and genuine person. I would highly recommend her to anyone.
John and Lisa Foreman
Andrea is the best ! We moved from out of state. Andrea took charge and went above and beyond in finding and securing our new home. We went from a brief introductory meeting to closing on our home in 30 days. Andrea was there for us on every detail and every step of the way. Always going above and beyond !
Katie
Andrea went above and beyond while helping me find a new home in Charlotte. She was patient and helpful while I searched for the perfect fit. Not once did I feel pushed by her or rushed to buy a house even in a market where newly listed houses went under contract in minutes. Andrea kept reminding me there would be another house. Best of all, she knows her stuff and is always on top of communicating next steps and explaining the process. Overall, I felt like I was in great hands and could really focus on evaluating the house and neighborhood because I trusted and relied on Andrea to handle everything else. Thank you so much, Andrea. Wishing you the best!
Katie Filicky & Alex Garcia
Working with Andrea was a very pleasant experience. We, as first time buyers, didn't know much about the entire process and what to expect. Andrea was always on top of things, making sure our needs and feature of the houses we saw together were met. What I liked the most about Andrea was how open and honest she was, she made sure we thought beyond how pretty the houses were but also how good of an investment it is. She worked with us extra hours and on the weekends and when we were ready to make offers she executed the paper work the same day to ensure we had buying power I would recommend Andrea 100% not only because of her professionalism (which was outstanding) but also because how easy going, fun and well connected in the Charlotte area she is.
Anna Kifer
I have worked with Andrea both to buy my house and to sell my house. I went back to her the second time because of how great she is at her job. She is super responsive, a great communicator, and hard working. Thanks again Andrea for all of your help!
Kristen Deonarine
When my husband and I decided we would be moving to North Carolina, the idea of needing to sell one house made buying another just sound stressful. We first spoke with Andrea on a Friday and by the following Thursday, we had a house under contract. She worked with us every step of the way. I spent my time in PA while waiting for our settlement. She made sure we knew everything we needed to do and kept us on track to be able to do a 30 day settlement. I can't thank Andrea enough for how great she was during our home buying. She genuinely cares for her clients and wants to find you the best house that fits your needs. Thank you Andrea!!!
Thomas Muna
As first time home buyers, Andrea was very attentive to our needs while still allowing us the freedom to discover our own likes and dislikes. She was always there when we needed her for every concern or question we had during the process. She helped us find the perfect home and we couldn't have asked for a better experience!
Craig and Lori Contreras
Thank you Allen Tate, and especially to our buying agent, Andrea Montague, for helping us with our most recent home purchase. We were buyers from out of state and Andrea was extremely accommodating and helpful during the entire process. (As well as after! She recently gave me a contact for a carpeting estimate) We couldn't be happier in our new home and neighborhood and would recommend her to our family and friends.
Brett and Karen M.
We loved having Andrea as our realtor! She was a pleasure to work with and was great at helping us find our first home. She was always readily available to answer any questions and set up appointments to look at homes of interest. From the first day we met to the day we closed on our house, she walked us through every step of the home buying process which made our first home buying experience go smoothly. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home!
Alec & Katie Horton
Andrea is AMAZING! We were stationed in Charlotte with the Navy and she was super helpful in finding us a great house in a safe neighborhood. When it came time to move on to our next duty station we immediately called Andrea. Once again she was AMAZING! She walked us through every step and told us not to worry she'd get our home sold. She went above and beyond for us. Buying and selling a home is stressful and she made it easy on us by being there for us and being honest and realistic.
Cindy Moccia
Andrea was a God send! I was moving from Connecticut to North Carolina and my sister-in-law referred Andrea. The best decision I could have made! Andrea had taken the time to meet with me back in April even though I wouldn't be moving till July. Even with all the obstacles I faced she kept a positive attitude and me from going crazy. As stressful as buying a house could be I wouldn't have my new home if it wasn't for Andrea's level headedness.
Anna K.
Andrea was awesome! I had another realtor for a different area that I was not happy with. I had houses being scooped up right out from underneath me because of a lack of motivation from the other realtor. I am so happy I met Andrea and had the pleasure to work with her. I was in a hurry to find the right house, at the right price, and with the right features - and Andrea met all of my needs. The closing process was so smooth because I didn't have to worry about a thing. I knew Andrea would be on top of it and let me know if she needed anything from me. This was my first house buying experience and I'm so happy to say I had an amazing realtor! If you use Andrea, you won't be disappointed!
Marcy Givens
Andrea Montague definitely has a gift in real estate and helping people feel important. She works hard to find out what works best for them and gets 5 stars from The Givens family!!! From the moment we met Andrea, she was right on time, very professional, made us feel comfortable and guided us through the whole process. We did everything she said and took all of her advice. She sold our home in one week!! That's impressive !! She came to our home and let me put the "sold" sign up and made us feel very special, even our 4 year old daughter still asks about Mrs Andrea😊. Within a few weeks Andrea helped us find our dream home! She even gave advice on painting when I asked her and now the house looks even better! I plan to recommend Andrea to everyone I know. This truly has been a wonderful experience and we owe it all to her!!
V Isaacs and J Dewey
My husband and I were moving from Virginia to North Carolina. Andrea was referred to us by my daughter's Realtor from another county in North Carolina. Andrea was very kind to take us on. We were in Virginia and it would be a long distance search for a house. Andrea demonstrated loads of patience as she helped us determine what type of house we wanted and the area we wanted to live in. She readily picked out several homes for us to see on our two short weekend trips to Huntersville. She gave up these two weekends from her family to give us her full attention. The second weekend we found the house we wanted! We had hundreds of questions throughout the whole process. Andrea either had immediate answers or quickly got the answers for us. Having a knowledgeable and kind Realtor who knows not only the ins and outs of buying a home, but also knows a lot about all the towns we were considering was a blessing. I highly recommend Andrea and I will for sure request her services again if the need should ever arise.
Carissa Black
Andrea was wonderful to work with. She listened to what it was that we were saying we wanted in a house and was quick to show us listings as soon as they came on the market. Once we found our house, she made the process of putting in an offer and going to closing easy and painless. We would highly recommend her!
Steve and Catherine Royster
We have to say we have never been happier. Andrea helped us sell and buy our new home in which we love. She directed us with great advice on how to prepare our home to sale. She worked hard to plan open houses and was always willing to help in anyway when a call for a quick showing came through. Andrea was always available when we had questions or needed any help. As soon as we had a contract on our house, she had a list of homes for us to see that fit our families needs. When we found the one we loved, she moved quickly to put in our contract knowing there was a possibility of another interested family. The entire process from selling to buying went very smoothly. We would highly recommend Andrea.
Eric Shannon
I was very happy with the service Andrea provided. In the beginning I was worried the sale would take forever, like the other properties near us. Andrea's work ethic is what made the difference. Happy, happy, happy is all I can say!
Carol S.
Andrea, I can't thank you enough! This was a unique situation and I'm so impressed with how diligent, easily available, professional and most importantly, how knowledgable you were. It was so important I had an agent who I could trust and pretty much hold my hand through this sale.... from beginning to end you exceeded my expectations!!! Can't thank you enough Andrea!!!
Amy Day
We would highly recommend Andrea. She did her homework before we met, so the house was priced right from the start. We had a viable offer within a couple of weeks. Since we live in another city, Andrea helped us with finding good companies to do some work, she also met them at the home, since we could not. She truly went above and beyond. The most important quality of Andrea's is her exceptional communication skills. We ALWAYS knew what was happening, and we knew immediately. There were no surprises, and that is key. She is a true professional.
" My wife and I have been working with Andrea for almost a year, first selling our home and then buying our new home. We closed on Wednesday of this week. I wanted to let you know how much we appreciated Andrea’s work on our behalf. I can’t imagine that there are many agents who have worked with customers that were more difficult than we were. Throughout the very long process, Andrea was supportive, diligent, proactive, and kept up constant communication. I don’t think that an agent could do a better job under difficult circumstances then she did. My wife and I are both extremely pleased and are also grateful for everything that she did on our behalf."
Sharilyn & David Clarke
What a great experience we had with Andrea Montague as our agent. She is the best! We never had any problem reaching her, she was always available and very accommodating to our needs. She made our experience a very pleasant one. She stayed on top of the sale, communicated very well and was always available to take a call. She was very patient and professional during the sale of our home in Cheshunt and for the house we bought in Victoria Bay. She worked with us for a long time when the real estate market was just picking up. I am sure we tried her patience many times, but she was always very professional and courteous. We feel she is a friend, as well as a great agent. We ended up very happy with the sale of our home and Andrea helped us find just what we wanted in our new home. I would highly recommend her to others selling or buying a home, and of course, Allen Tate, as well. She should get a bonus!! Sincerely, Sharilyn & David Clarke
Alec and Katie Horton
Andrea saved us. We had been looking for a home, were new to the state, and our original Realtor was a nightmare. Andrea welcomed us, took notes about what we wanted in a home and held our hands when we needed it. We were so exhausted and at our wits end when she took over and she was able to find us a home in one weekend. Our previous Realtor wasn't able to do that in 2 months. She is truly an amazing person and Realtor. I'd recommend her to anyone.
Maryann M.
My experience working with Andrea was positive. She is energetic, hard working and conscientious.
Lori L.
Andrea is the best! Being a single female ready to sell my home, I had no idea what to do. Andrea sat down with me and walked me through the whole process. I was very concerned about strangers walking around in my home. She informed me that everything would be fine and not to worry. I have to admit that I wasn't the best seller to get along with, but Andrea understood what I was going through. She helped me through all the bad moments I had and was always there to comfort me and talk me through it. She was not only my Realtor but a friend as well. Very honest and caring. I would recommend her to anyone that is ready to sell or buy.
