Proudly born and raised in Branford, Connecticut - and now residing in Fairfield - Andrea has always possessed a keen interest in real estate, architecture and design. Growing up, her parents owned properties and she vividly remembers the design/build process of her childhood home. Impeccably furnished and appreciated in value, her parents would pop into open houses to see if a home would make them want to sell. Fast forward to today, she's GC’d countless renovation projects and lends valuable foresight to clients on design and construction. Andrea’s background in marketing and public relations translates to real estate not only by strategically marketing her listings, but also marketing her buyers to peers and having the ability to put together off-market transactions. Being forward thinking and incorporating her unique ingenuity combined with approachable sales savvy has proven above and beyond results and client expectations. Andrea works with clients seeking all real estate needs: buyers, sellers, investors, and helps clients manage rental portfolios. There is no task too little or large for her - she is always happy to lend advice. Invaluable market knowledge, deep community ties, a relentless work ethic, and a continuous strive for growth is what fuels Andrea’s business. Servicing both the New Haven County and Fairfield County market, a wider territory than most realtors, she has made a name for herself across many towns. Andrea also regularly serves as a consultant to local builders and investors lending her guidance on market conditions. Andrea is now Team Leader and Founder of Forte Team at Compass, a boutique real estate team based in Southport, so can now offer her clients more creativity and manpower behind any transaction. Andrea has built a strong local social media following, amassing over 10,000 followers on Facebook and Instagram, which leads to more eyes on any listing or client need she promotes. She has been featured in multiple media outlets over the years and is continually recognized year-over-year by HomeSnap for customer service and the top 1% of local agents; Property Spark as one of the top Connecticut agents on social media; and Five Star Professional as a Top Producer, among other accolades. in Marketing from Southern Connecticut State University and M.S. When Andrea is not working she’s spending time with her family and cooking.
