Hi Andrea,
We want to thank you so, so much for your excellent real estate knowledge, helpful selling tips, strong business acumen and tremendous administrative organization while our 55+ condo in Thousand Oaks was on the market and was quickly sold. Your professionalism, dependability and patience were consistently top notch and very much appreciated!
Suggesting ways to stage our home (along with your professional staging consultant) was so helpful. Thank you for your business recommendations for painting, new flooring and new carpeting to upgrade our condo prior to listing. The contractors provided honest pricing, professional work and it was all completed on schedule.
Thank you for giving us ample notice for open houses, as well as for appointments for the public to view our home; it was very much appreciated. You were available to answer any questions we had throughout the listing. Your consistent optimism and positive attitude eased any anxieties we may have had ( ie, When will the house sell? Who will paint our house? What do we do with all our stuff to make the house presentable for showings? Are we selling at the right price? Etc.)
Andrea, you are truly an incomparable real estate agent; we feel extremely fortunate that we choose you to be our realtor, where you represented us through all phases and final sale of our condo.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Andrea Harlan came highly recommended by our attorney in Westlake Village and we knew at our very first meeting that the accolades were well deserved and that with Andrea and team we would be in very good hands with the sale of our home. Not only is she extremely smart and savvy (thanks to her years of experience in real estate), she is as sweet and patient as can be and just a joy to work with. All of her recommendations for pre-sale upgrades and “freshening” (nothing extreme) were spot on and I believe got us top dollar for our property (which sold lightning fast). The stager she recommended also was phenomenal.
I really can’t say enough good things about Andrea and everyone on her team and am in complete agreement with the other reviewers that she really does go above and beyond. Thank you, Andrea!
Tami Flores
Thanks for everything. You and your team helped make the closing paperwork easy and were always available to answer questions, even on weekends, which I appreciated.
Janet Mallory
Just want to thank you Andrea and your hard working team. Your professionalism, friendship & dedication was all that I could have asked for. God Bless you all.

Working with Andrea was a great first time experience as she was very knowledgeable & made us feel comfortable!

Wanted to express many heartfelt thanks to the team at Keller Williams Westlake Village. Nguyet Au and Andrea Harlan were amazing agents to work with. Their knowledge, expertise, and all around caring nature made the home buying process a stress-free, very seamless and smooth running experience. I would work with these ladies over and over again.
You can not find a better agent to assist you in your sale or purchase of property. I have been in lending and real estate for the past 20+ years and on a personal real estate transaction I had the good fortune to cross paths and work with Nguyet. Best all around experience ever.

The last two months have been pretty crazy. Apparently a pandemic wasn’t wild enough, so we decided it was a good time to sell our home! We started preparing our home to get listed right before everything shut down. After speaking with our realtor, Andrea Harlan, we decided to go forward with the listing anyway. Andrea was amazing and was able to navigate the new requirements for showing homes really well. She created a video preview of our home and then held a zoom open house–the first we had ever heard of! We listed our home on a Thursday afternoon, had the zoom open house on Sunday and had an offer on Monday. Because of Andrea’s hard work and creative marketing, our house was in escrow less than one week after being listed in the middle of a pandemic. We highly recommend Andrea Harlan!

I have some clients who needed to sell their parent’s home in an area I could not service. Andrea and I had recently taken a very challenging real estate training seminar together and I was familiar with her methods and abilities. I felt very comfortable referring her to my clients…Andrea easily saved these clients $50,000 in repair costs, got above market price for their home and enjoyed a stress free escrow in minimum time.
As a local real estate broker for the last 16 years, I believe Andrea did a remarkable job for her sellers.

I’ve bought and sold several houses in Ventura County in my lifetime. This was by far the easiest process. Andrea and her team of associates were on top of everything. They checked in often to assure we stayed on course and walked us through the entire process. She went the extra mile and took the time to add the personal touches to help things move things along and get us top dollar. Don’t use anyone else when you’re listing or you’ll be shorting yourself.

I can’t thank Andrea Harlan and The Harlan Team enough for all the hard work, dedication and extra hours they put into making sure our home was renovated and put on the market in the time frame we needed. I had to relocate my Dad to the East Coast and trusted Andrea to make sure the place was taken care of while I was out of state. She did just that and much more. Coordinating contractors and making sure we were getting the best prices. We were able to leave renovation details in her hands and everything turned out just the way we imagined it. Pam did an excellent job as well with staging our home. I’m so thankful I left our house in Andrea’s hands. I would recommend Andrea to anyone who is selling a home, you are an expert in your field and we were lucky to have you as a realtor!

Andrea, Robin, Nguyet, and the rest of the Harlan team are top notch real estate professionals who work hard and deliver 110%! Andrea and Robin met with us to create a plan to sell my mother’s home in the San Fernando Valley and move her to a new home in Ventura County. The entire process was a very positive experience, with each step of the way clearly outlined and patiently communicated. Andrea and Robin are very knowledgeable and experienced realtors. They listen to their client’s needs to make sure everyone is on the same page. Mom’s home was staged beautifully, listed quickly, and sold within the first week. We never even had to have an open house because there were multiple offers after the first day on the market. This was due to the Harlan Team’s thorough researching, strategic planning, brilliant negotiating, and quick responding. At the same time, Robin was able to help my mother find her dream home during a competitive market. The escrow was carefully planned out so Mom’s old and new homes could close on the same day. We feel so fortunate to have been in the very capable hands of the Harlan Team. We recommend them enthusiastically!

Andrea is a Top Gun, best of the best. She knows her stuff and goes above and beyond to make sure her clients are happy. She’s bought and sold for us and at least five of our friends and family, and everyone was thrilled with her service.

Thank you Andrea for helping us buy our first home several years ago and then helping us sell it when it came time to move to a different area. You and your team are all wonderful. Your professionalism and the way you make your clients feel like your top priority are as always outstanding.
There is a reason most of the people I know that have purchased a home have had Andrea as their Realtor. She is just so good that everyone refers her to everyone else!
Helen Myles
I recently put my house for sale and had the distinct pleasure meeting Andrea Harlan, real estate agent from Keller Williams. I have dealt with real estate agents before but, she was outstanding in every way. She helped me prepare my house for sale and supplied me with decorative items to help stage my home for sale. She kept me apprised of not only market conditions but, made recommendations for a quick sale which we accomplished in three weeks. If I had to make a recommendation it would be her!
Eugene Lee
Thanks Andrea for helping us find our home last summer. You were ethical in finding the right home at the right price and doing your best with coming up with creative ways to give us the the edge where there were 13 offers on the table. You’re the best and we’ll always refer anyone looking for a good real estate person to you.
Cecilia H.
The perfect combination of friendliness, attentiveness and professionalism! Andrea Harlan and her team were so wonderful helping us buy our house several years ago that when it came time to move to a different area, there was no question about who to contact to help us sell it. They helped us make the stressful process easier and even through tough personal times Andrea always kept making us feel like her top priority.
I agree with previous comments saying she always goes above and beyond. She truly does. We were actually very saddened we couldn’t have her help us buy our next house since it was out of the area, but she made sure to put us in touch with someone who could. We still missed having her, though! She is just that good!

Andrea is the BEST when it comes to buying and selling houses! My husband and I just recently moved from our condo of 12 years in Oak Park, to a beautiful new house in Simi Valley. Andrea went above and beyond to help us reach our goals. When we put our condo up for sale, she was very helpful with all of the staging and preparation. When we started getting offers pouring in, she worked hard to make sure we accepted the best offer. And when got into our new house search, Andrea and her colleague, Robin Hagey, were so patient and helpful, while we narrowed down to when we finally found our perfect house that we have now moved into! The timing for selling our condo and buying our new house worked our perfectly, and I very much owe it to Andrea and her team for all of their hard work and dedication. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who needs to buy or sell a home!

Andrea is the best in the business. She’s served my family’s real estate needs for 7 years now. She sold our home and helped us find rentals on two occasions. We were so happy with her work that we used her to buy and sell my mom’s home. And we’ve referred her to at least half a dozen others, all of whom end up singing her praises. Seriously, if you haven’t had the opportunity to work with Andrea, you have no idea how awesome the buying and/or selling experience can be. Her ultimate goal is to make her clients happy, and she goes above and beyond to make it happen. She never stops her continuing education, stays on top of the local market, makes sure her team members have the same standards and goals, and is a great communicator. She’s different from those who do just enough to get by and snag their commission; she’s in the business because she loves helping people and is passionate about the business. Don’t hesitate to call her; you will be SO glad you did!

Andrea is fantastic! This is the second time we have worked with her. The first time we worked with her she helped us find a rental property when we moved from San Jose to Thousand Oaks. Within a year we just worked with her again and she found us the perfect home. She is smart, hard working and she knows what she is doing. She listened to what we wanted and what we needed and used that to fund us our home. Every time we would ask her a question, she would give us an honest answer. We felt that she is someone who really had our back in the negotiation process when we bid on our home. She treated our money like it was her own money when we negotiated. She knows the area really well too. As we would go looking at houses she would point out things like schools, supermarkets, shopping areas, and trails that are nearby. This is valuable information when your are looking for a home and you are not familiar with the area. I would recommend her to anyone that is looking for house.
