ANDREW POLLARO

PRINCIPAL & SENIOR AGENT

Recognized as a top Orange County agent

 

Andrew’s expertise is vast. He has personally shown more than 1,200 homes locally, and in just ten months closed an astonishing 27 transactions, a true testament to his sharp negotiation skills, invaluable insight of key market trends, and the mastery necessary to beat other agents in highly-competitive, multiple-offer situations. Closing that amount of volume in such a short period of time ranked him higher than some of OC’s most prestigious agents. As a lender, he has originated and processed the smoothest and most hassle-free purchase loans and refinances known to man, “wowing” clients with low rates, and clearing files for funding with minimal paperwork in just a few days.

As a true southern California native, Andrew is a walking encyclopedia of the nuances and unique gems that make OC the greatest place to live on planet Earth. He was born in Long Beach, grew up in the beach cities of Orange County, and spent a few years in west Los Angeles while attending UCLA, where he earned a degree cum laude in political science.

How it happened

 

In 2013, an opportunity to work in the mortgage industry wooed Andrew away from his plan of attending law school. After a year of apprenticeship and mastering lending guidelines and loan processing, he used that knowledge and skill to land a job as a real estate agent at a large brokerage. A few months later, he was busier than most agents with decades-long careers. Andrew quickly discovered that his educational strengths, creative talents, and personality made him an unbeatable force when representing buyers and crafting bold offers that crushed the competition. His clients were always winning. From there he was recruited to a top luxury listings team in Newport Beach where he learned the secrets of compelling marketing and masterful real estate representation.

It wasn’t all quick successes that made Andrew the agent he is today. As a consumer, he bought his first house in his early twenties, years before doing real estate as a career, and just happened to close escrow moments before the crash of 2007-2008. That experience above all else is what makes Andrew a devoted advocate for his clients. He deeply understands the fears buyers have, and he knows how to conquer them and empower his clients to succeed and safely achieve their dreams. When it comes to advising and guiding sellers, his valuable insight into the minds of buyers and his gifted approach to property pricing and presentation have produced notably smooth sales and neighborhood price records.

Away from the office


Away from the office, Andrew spends as much time as possible with his wife and sons, and it is the pursuit of a rewarding work-life balance that makes him most proud to do real estate for a living. He is a motorcycle enthusiast, and if he isn’t riding his own Harley-Davidson, he is usually enjoying demo-riding days at local dealerships and looking forward to motorcycle (and classic car) shows. He and his family reside in Irvine, where they are big fans of the parks, hiking trails, shopping, and close proximity to Laguna Beach. Some of Andrew’s favorite neighborhoods around Orange County are Irvine Cove, Shorecliffs, Dover Shores, Shady Canyon, Edwards Hill, Cowan Heights, Rossmoor, Floral Park, and Belmont Shore in Long Beach. He sincerely looks forward to making a difference in your next real estate transaction.

No one could have done a better job preparing my home for sale. Andrew's presentation and marketing were far above that of other listings in the area. The house looked so good, I almost decided not to sell it! In just a few days, Andrew got me multiple offers over the list price, and he ultimately helped me select the right one, which was a record-breaking price and most importantly from a buyer who perf...

Andrew orchestrated nothing short of a miracle, and we have our dream home now because of him. He truly leads, and that gave us the confidence to act boldly when we found "the one." His skill and creative negotiating made such an impact with the listing agent that we beat multiple offers, all higher in price than ours. We believe that no other agent would or could have represented us so effectively at ev...

We have sold and purchased homes with Andrew, and each time he exceeded our expectations. His expertise and level of service are unparalleled, and we are beyond blessed that every time we had a high goal, Andrew rose to the occasion and made it happen with ease. Because we took Andrew's advice, our sale price was so high for our model, it couldn't be matched for years, and he also got us our new home for...

Andrew was excellent! His customer service was outstanding. Our family had a unique situation while purchasing, and Andrew worked diligently to help make the process as easy as possible. He is very trustworthy and helped put us at ease with making such a large purchase. His knowledge of the Orange County area gave our family a few additional options we may not have considered before. His patience was als...

Could not be happier! If Andrew had not guided us, we would not have gotten our house. The seller ended up with 2 other offers, one of which they took as a backup thousands of dollars over ours. He was there every single step of the way, was extremely fast in responding to emails, and answered every question we had with ease. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a house.

We have worked with Andrew for years. Even when we are not actively in the market, he is immediate in answering our questions and offering valuable insight. He is the best resource anyone could have when it comes to selling, buying, or financing Orange County real estate. Many of our close friends have also worked with Andrew, and they love him as much as we do. He really does run circles around his comp...

We knew Andrew was going to be our guy when we did the first tour with him. He was extremely polite and very professional. We were first-time homebuyers and did not know much about the home-buying process. Andrew helped us every step of the way and was always very patient with our questions and concerns. When we finally found our dream home, he stepped it up big time. It was our first offer, and we went ...

After being dumped by a REALTOR® from another firm, we met Andrew and could not have been happier. He worked hard to help us find a new home. Andrew is professional, courteous, patient, and customer service-focused. He was always available and responsive to us via email or phone whenever we had questions or needed assistance. Andrew offers insight and has a keen perspective on the real estate market. I w...
