- André understood my situation, and thanks to him, I was able to sell my home smoothly. He never failed to communicate—at any stage of the process—and kept me informed of the status every step of the way. I consider him to be a highly trustworthy real estate professional.Kazumi Horne
- My fiancée and I had the pleasure of working with Andre last month. He was incredibly responsive to our questions at all times of day, seven days per week. As first-time home buyers, we appreciated Andre’s guidance through and beyond escrow. He ensured we received fair credits from the seller that were proportional to the needs of the house and will allow us to make the repairs we want to make on the home. His positivity is infectious. We highly recommend his services.Jessica Robertson
- Andre, I cannot beging to express how grateful I am for your excellent service in the Real Estate business. To those who are looking for a seasoned Veteran in this industry I cannot tell you enough of what an ally you would be getting in utilizing Andre Hobbs to take care of your buying and selling needs. I was assisting a friend selling her home and having experience with Andre from 17 years prior in the purchase of my home I knew she would be in good hands. Well that was an understatement. Andre has a great feel for the ever-changing market and he got her the best price she could get. He was on top of every facet from staging, to price changes due to the market trends to getting things finalized at closing. All at the same time assisting in helping my friends son purchase a home. He took a first time buyer, taught him the ins and outs of purchasing a home through a VA loan and made sure he got the most out of his money and got all of his home wish list items to boot. Andre your professionalism, excellent customer service, patience and kindness all through what can be a painstaking process is to be commended. We had questions you had the solutions. Thank you again for everything you did for these great people. I will forever be in your debt. Sincerely, Jose R. Trujillo United States Navy (Retired)Jose Trujillo
- As a first-time homebuyer, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Andre made the entire process seamless from start to finish. I felt completely comfortable having him represent me. His dedication, communication, and expertise stood out every step of the way. He’s especially passionate about helping Veterans like myself, and it truly shows in the care and attention he provides. Andre went above and beyond to ensure I understood every part of the home-buying process, patiently answering all my questions and concerns. Incredibly personable and professional. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.Diane Taylor
- My family has purchased several homes through Andre. Once we found him, we never looked back and have turned down other agents. He knows my children since age of 5. Not many people do. That should speak volumes to buyers. Excellence, knowledge, and compassion are not enough to describe his level of service to the client. You wont look back either once you work with him.arturo santos

Additionally, his extensive knowledge of the market helped me make informed decisions, and he was always mindful of my budget, ensuring I found a home that met my needs without breaking the bank.
