Hello, I’m Andrea! I grew up all over the Bay Area and live in Oakland. I’ve been handling rentals for busy owners and happy tenants since 2007 when I finished my MFA, moved to Brooklyn, and started AndreaApartments, an indie real estate rental start-up.

New York City was a wild ride and great experience, but the California lifestyle is hard to beat, as I’m sure you’ll agree. In 2012, I moved back to the Bay Area and started the West Coast branch of the business, AndreaRentals.

I’m a licensed California real estate agent and landlord, myself. I’m not a licensed contractor, but I did gut my Oakland Victorian duplex and put it back together. I’m well-versed in all the ins and outs of the Bay Area rental market, and look forward to helping you in whatever way I can.

I am an Oakland native and Cal graduate, and absolutely love living here. I have worn many hats in my work life but gravitate towards organizational roles in service-oriented businesses. I am grateful to be welcomed into the AndreaRentals team.

I’m a Bay Area native and come from a long line of real estate professionals – I’m fourth generation! I currently live in Albany with my husband and two young boys. We own a rental property and after leasing our own and helping a few friends with theirs, I realized how much I enjoy it – which led me to AndreaRentals! I also have personal experience with relocation, after moving abroad to Switzerland for 6 years for my husband’s job.

In my spare time I love to cook, practice yoga, eat dark chocolate, and go to the beach with my boys. I’m also a health coach, helping women feel confident in their bodies.
I can’t wait to help you find or rent your home!

I am originally from the East Coast, and after years of traveling and living abroad, I am so happy to say that the Bay Area has been my home for the past decade. I love exploring new neighborhoods, and finding new places to grab a bite or a drink whenever I start with a new property – just say the word and I’ll give you my two cents!

I have years of experience in the hospitality industry, and a long history of providing excellent service to my clients. I am endlessly curious about people, and love hearing where my clients are coming from and how I can help them find what they’re looking for.

I am thrilled to be a member of the amazing team at AndreaRentals.

Born in Mexico City, but raised in San Francisco and Oakland, relocation plays a fundamental role in my life and I hold deep respect for those seeking a new home.

As a long term (and current) apartment-dweller, I both empathize with renters and treasure kind, engaged owners.

Experiencing different homes in person satisfies an innocent voyeuristic itch. My background in installation art gives me a dynamic appreciation for and curiosity about space. It is one of my favorite—and dreamiest—parts of the job.

This enjoyment is second only to learning my client’s stories and cultivating a relationship as we go through the process of finding the right fit for them together.
