Fjortoft Homes 2025 FIVE Star Agent | Best in Client Satisfaction

Celebrating 🎉 20 years in real estate! Proud to work at Windermere North, Inc.

I specialize in serving residential buyers and sellers in the greater Seattle area. Real estate is in Andrea Fjortoft’s blood. A Marketing and International Business major originally from Montreal, Andrea was encouraged to go into real estate by her family. After a successful 12 year career in corporate sales & account management, she completed the testing and licensing and was surprised to learn how naturally it all came to her. She began working at it full-time in 2005 and can’t imagine doing anything else. Always passionate about marketing and sales, she has come to realize that being a REALTOR® is what she was born to do. Andrea is a competitive negotiator who knows how to win for her clients when multiple offers are on the table. She keeps her clients’ interests in the forefront of her mind and loves to win on their behalf. When it comes to selling properties, Andrea does her homework, performing detailed research to ensure that the property is priced correctly, assists the homeowners with preparing the property for market, and then launches the listing to a positive response. Make Andrea Fjortoft, a true natural, your next real estate partner.

🏡 Home Buying, Simplified
One of the biggest mistakes buyers can make is shopping based solely on what they're approved for.
Your lender may tell you the maximum amount you can borrow, but only you can determine what monthly payment feels comfortable for your lifestyle.
Remember to think beyond the mortgage payment:
✔️ Property taxes
✔️ Homeowners insurance
✔️ Utilities
✔️ Maintenance and repairs
✔️ Savings and everyday expenses
(add check) HOA dues and assessments if applicable
The goal isn't to buy the most house possible. It's to buy the right house while still feeling financially comfortable after move-in day and for many years ahead.
Homeownership should bring peace of mind, not financial stress.

☎️ Telephone Tuesday
Real estate advice has a funny way of changing as it's passed from one person to the next. The conversation starts with...
👤 "The market is strong."
Which becomes...
👤 "Homes are selling quickly."
Then...
👤 "Buyers will overlook the little stuff."
Then...
👤 "You don't need to do anything before listing."
And finally...
📣 "My house will sell itself!"
A strong market doesn't mean preparation no longer matters.
Thoughtful updates, staging, professional photography, and taking care of deferred maintenance helps buyers see their full potential—and often lead to stronger offers and a smoother sale.
📞 Don't play Telephone with one of your biggest financial decisions. Let's talk about what's true in today's market.

Happy Labor Day!
Today, we celebrate the hardworking people who help build, improve, and care for the places we call home.
From the builders who frame our homes and the tradespeople who keep them running, to the landscapers, painters, inspectors, movers, lenders, title and escrow professionals, and the many local businesses that support our communities—thank you for the work you do every day.
Homeownership is about so much more than four walls. It's made possible by the dedication, craftsmanship, and service of countless people working behind the scenes, and I'm grateful to partner with so many talented professionals who help my clients every step of the way.
As we enjoy the long weekend with family and friends, I hope you'll also take a moment to recognize the people whose hard work helps make our communities such wonderful places to live.
Wishing you a safe, relaxing, and well-deserved Labor Day! ❤️🤍💙

Fall is just around the corner. Yes, it always creeps on us, doesn’t it? I love the cool mornings filled with fresh, crisp air and changing of the leaves.
For bargains: Home Goods can’t be beaten if you have time to sift through the endless, ever-changing inventory!
For classic, timeless pieces: Pottery Barn. I absolutely love their aesthetic and have many pieces that I have held onto over the years that I simply adore.
Fall is a good reason for some little upgrades! ☀️✨

🏡 Home Buying, Simplified
Buying a home today looks a lot different than it did a few years ago.
Inventory has increased, giving buyers more choices and a little more breathing room. You're less likely to feel like you must decide in minutes or compete with dozens of offers on every home you see.
That said, great homes that are priced well still attract plenty of attention.
The biggest shift? Buyers have more opportunities to slow down, ask questions, and make thoughtful decisions. It's no longer about rushing to buy—it's about understanding the market and having a strategy that works for you.
The market has changed, and that's not a bad thing. It simply means today's buyers need a different game plan.
If you're thinking about buying, let's talk about what today's market means for your goals.

🏡 SOLD | STANWOOD 🔑

This one feels especially good to celebrate. ❤️

📍 7912 263rd Place NW, Stanwood
SOLD for $610,000

This wonderful first-time buyer came to me through a referral from past clients I value and trust—and there’s something especially meaningful about being introduced that way.

She was ready to take a big step: purchasing her first home on her own.
We found this beautifully renovated home tucked into Stanwood’s Fox Hill Estates, with a peaceful cul-de-sac setting, a great backyard, thoughtful updates, and a place she could truly picture making her own.

Buying your first home is a big milestone. Doing it independently and making an investment in your own future is something worth celebrating.

Throughout the process, my job was to make sure she understood what we were looking at, knew what questions to ask, felt confident in the decisions she was making, and had someone firmly in her corner from the first showing through closing.

And now she has more than a beautiful place to call home. She has an asset of her own, the opportunity to build equity and long-term wealth, and a home that is completely hers. 🏡✨
Congratulations on your first home and this exciting new chapter. You did it! 🔑❤️

And to the clients who trusted me enough to send someone they care about my way—thank you. Your referrals are never something I take for granted. Taking great care of the people you send to me is one of the greatest compliments and responsibilities of my business.

Here’s to new homeowners, new chapters, and relationships that continue long after closing.

🏡 PENDING | REDMOND ✨
Sometimes the right real estate strategy means knowing when to make an adjustment.
📍 23915 NE 80th St, Redmond
🌲 Union Hill
After making a thoughtful price adjustment, this special Union Hill property received multiple offers and is officially PENDING!
Set on 1.29 acres, this custom-built rambler offers something that can be difficult to find in Redmond: true one-level living, privacy, beautiful park-like grounds, generous indoor and outdoor spaces, and room for everything from gardening and entertaining to RV and boat parking.
But even a wonderful home needs to be positioned correctly for the market we’re in.
As a listing agent, my job isn’t simply to put a home on the market and wait. It’s to pay attention to what the market is telling us, communicate openly with my sellers, and adjust our strategy when it makes sense.
In this case, repositioning the price brought renewed attention to the value this property offered. Multiple buyers responded, multiple offers came in, and my sellers were able to choose the offer that made the most sense for them. ❤️
That’s what thoughtful pricing and strategy are about—not just generating activity, but creating the best possible opportunity for my sellers.
We still have work to do before the keys change hands, but I’m very happy to have my sellers one important step closer to SOLD.

🥕 NATIONAL FOOD BANK DAY | Supporting Our Neighbors ❤️
A strong community is one where we look out for one another—and access to fresh, nutritious food is one of the most basic ways we can help our neighbors thrive.
Throughout the year, I’ve been grateful for opportunities to support organizations and programs working to fight food insecurity right here in our community, including:
🥫 Edmonds Food Bank — helping provide groceries and essential resources to local individuals and families. https://edmondsfoodbank.org/
❤️ Snohomish County VOA — serving neighbors throughout Snohomish County through food assistance and other vital community programs. https://www.voaww.org/
🌱 Martha Perry Vegetable Garden — where volunteers quite literally get their hands dirty growing fresh produce that helps stock both the and the to put nutritious food on our neighbors’ tables. https://snohomishgardenclub.com/event-2862874 https://snohomishfoodbank.org/ https://www.maltbyfoodbank.org/
National Food Bank Day is a good reminder that the need doesn’t belong to just one season. These organizations show up week after week, all year long—and they depend on donations, volunteers, and community support to keep doing it.
If you’re looking for a meaningful way to give back, consider donating food, giving financially, volunteering your time, or simply helping spread the word about the organizations serving our neighbors.
When we take care of our community, we all grow stronger together. ❤️

👋 Hey! Let’s get to know each other a little better.
You may know me as your Realtor, but there are a few things about the person behind the SOLD signs that you might not know…
🏡 I became a licensed real estate agent in April 2005, while five months pregnant with my son, Erik. The very next day, I was hospitalized and remained there until he arrived prematurely in June. Thankfully, that tiny preemie is now a very healthy 21-year-old who stands 6'3"! Those Viking genes are strong. 😉
❤️ I’ve been married since 1996, and this October 19th we’ll celebrate 30 years of marriage! We have three kids, now 16, 21 and 24.
🇨🇦 I’m originally from Hudson, Quebec, just outside Montreal—eh! From there, life took me to Barrington, Illinois, then Boulder, Colorado, and eventually to Washington, which has been home ever since.
🎓 I earned my BA in Marketing and International Business from the University of Colorado Boulder—a background that continues to play a big role in how I strategically market and position homes today.
And a few numbers that tell you a little about my business:
✨ 27 clients served so far in 2026
🏠 Homes ranging from $350,000 to $3.5 million
⏱️ My listings close in an average of 12 days on market
🤝 92% of my business comes from referrals
❤️ 87% comes from my sphere—that’s YOU!
Those last two numbers may be the ones I’m proudest of.
More than 20 years after earning my license, the overwhelming majority of my business comes from people I know, people I’ve served, and the friends and family they trust me enough to send my way. That means more to me than any sales statistic ever could.
Behind every home is a story—and after all these years, I still feel incredibly fortunate that so many of you invite me to be part of yours. 🏡✨
Now it’s your turn: Did you know any of these about me? Or drop a 👋 and tell me something about YOU that I might not know!
