We highly recommend Andy as a real estate agent. His professionalism, market knowledge, and personal integrity left a lasting impression on us. Our situation was somewhat complicated as we currently live in another country and had to manage the sale of our home from afar. Andy made the entire process smooth and easy.
From the beginning, Andy scheduled virtual meetings with us and clearly laid out the steps involved in selling our home. He guided us through each phase and took the time to explain everything in detail. Whenever we had a question or concern, he made himself available for a Zoom call, ensuring we were always informed and at ease.
Given our distance, Andy took it upon himself to coordinate with our contractor to prepare our home for sale. He also arranged the staging and professional photography, managing every detail seamlessly. His efficiency extended to handling all the paperwork and getting our signatures as needed, so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. We felt confident and relaxed, knowing Andy had our best interests at heart.”
– Maura and Nicolas Rohde (formerly of Clopper’s Mill West)
=============================
Working with Andy was the best decision we made in preparing to sell our home. He is very professional and was always diligent in communicating what was happening over the whole process. We ended up getting ten thousand dollars over our asking price. Andy is not just a good Realtor, he’s a great person to work with.”
– Anthony Bates (formerly of Village of Clopper’s Mill)
=============================
We want to thank you for your help with selling our house. We appreciate your thoughtful, creative, and detail-oriented approach to marketing our house. Your prompt response to our requests was beneficial. We also highly appreciate your carefulness in filling out various forms and documents related to selling the house.”
– Kamiljon and Gulnara (formerly of Village of Clopper’s Mill)
=============================
You have been a great Realtor to work with. Thanks for your time, detail, and communication. It has been an easy and simple process.”
– Mike Dismuke (formerly of Milestone Townhouses)
=============================
After living for 26 years in our home at 18031 Wheatridge Drive, Germantown, MD 20874, it was time to move into the next phase of our life. The first step was to sell our current home. I have never sold a house before and was a little apprehensive about the whole process. My perception was that real estate agents were in general inclined to serve their own interest first, underprice the property, sell it quickly, get their commission, and get on to the next sales opportunity.
With that concern at the back of my mind, I shortlisted a few agents and started interviewing – Andy being the first one.
Andy spent a couple of hours with us and after he left, this is exactly how my wife and I felt:
Oh, there is a palpable sense of honesty and transparency about this guy without the slightest hint of a sales push. Not something that one would expect from someone trying to make a sale.
– He came very well prepared, with all the market research data – spanning the entire spectrum of the possible appraisal.
– He never tried to push us into a decision – rather, he enabled us with data and explanations to help us make our own decisions.
We interviewed several other agents, but Andy came across as the one who did his homework best and of course, had that unmatched sense of honesty and transparency.
Over the next three months, as we moved through the process, Andy was the same Andy – thoroughly professional, answering all our questions about contracts, implications of various clauses in the contracts, and helping us choose the contract that would best protect our interests and minimize exposures. He never tried to steer us in a direction that would make the quickest sale. Rather, he looked out for our best interest throughout the process.
Andy also brought in very qualified professionals to help – a staging consultant and a photographer, both on his dime. Both top notch.
At the end, we had six offers within two days of the first showing and had the contract signed on the third day at a price $40,000 above the asking.
We would go with Andy any day.”

=============================
When my husband and I moved into the Clopper’s Mill West neighborhood, we would sometimes be visited by a very friendly man that would bring us apple butter and stand and talk to us for a while. That man was Andy Pagano. I decided that when and if we ever sold our home that he would be the agent that we would call upon.
When the pandemic of 2020 began to settle down a little, we decided that the time was right for us to begin a new chapter in our lives and move to a warmer climate and be near our family. We called Andy and he has been a constant presence in our lives for two months, guiding us in the right direction in getting our home ready for sale.
Because of his diligence and knowledge in the real estate world, we were able to get our home on the market and sold in less than a week. We were amazed that it sold so fast. We believe it was because of all the amazing thought and work that went into marketing and staging our home in a very sellable fashion.
We cannot thank Andy enough for his loyalty to his clients and being there with us every step of the process.”
– Lynda and Vince (formerly of Clopper’s Mill West)
=============================
When we started the process of putting up our house for sale in September 2019, we interviewed five Realtors, including a close relative. After much discussion we decided on Andy. Our target was to move in March, 2020. We had much discussion with Andy and what he “suggested” we do, and we did not always agree or want to spend the money. However, one by one we got our house ready per his guidance, including staging. Well, we finally put our house on the market in late February on a Thursday, after Andy’s team did a wonderful drone view and inside video of our house. An open house was scheduled for Sunday, but we sold the house in four days, with a bidding war, and we never had an open house! We received multiple offers, and got $11,000 over list. Andy’s advice paid off! After we moved out of state, we had about a half dozen packages shipped to our old address, and Andy picked them up and forwarded them to us. Service after the sale is crucial. I would recommend Andy to anyone. Very Satisfied.”
– Jerry Hurwitz
=============================
“Thank you Andy. I am glad that I selected you to be my agent. Your service has been fantastic. I wish you the best.”
– Bob Wilson (Rockville, MD)
=============================
“I had to write to say thanks again for all you did in getting our house sold in the time frame we desired. My husband, Joe, and I couldn’t be happier.
After living in our home for 21 years on Winterwoods Court, we had a variety of decisions to make and things to do to get our home ready for market. From freshening up our home with new paint and carpet in colors appealing to today’s buyers, to staging it for sale, to setting the selling price, you made it easy for us every step of the way.
Your thoughtful market analysis was right on target and your strategies for marketing the home worked. We loved the online pictures, video and the virtual 3-D walk through that allowed potential buyers to first see the home from the comfort of their own homes. Within four days of the house going on the market, we received multiple offers! And then we closed in less than a month! How great is that?
Thanks also for helping us to look at our home from a buyer’s perspective. This proved extremely helpful to our thought process in how to best present our home to buyers.
Finally, we very much appreciated how quickly you responded to all of our questions and concerns and for your guidance in walking us through the home sale process.”
– Jan & Joe Goldman (formerly of Norbeck Meadows, Rockville, MD)
=============================
“We contacted Andy when we were interested in selling our home in January 2017. He reviewed the step-by-step process from prepping our home for sale to what we could expect for the final walk-through. Even though we still had some updating to do before putting our home on the market, Andy walked through each room and gave us some ideas of what needed to be done.
Andy helped us with showing the home in its best light and had a photographer who made beautiful flyers for the showings. Needless to say, our home was sold within three days for full asking price! Andy is hard-working, very responsive and really looks out for the best interest of his clients. Andy’s knowledge of the area, diligence, and attention to detail made the process go smoothly. We would highly recommend him!”
– Krista and Sabatino
=============================
“As first-time house sellers, my husband and I were nervous about finding the right real estate agent. We wanted someone who had good knowledge of the market and who would be patient with us and guide us every step of the way. For as long as we lived in our old house (roughly seventeen years), we had heard of the name “Andy Pagano” as he would always deliver treats like apple/pumpkin butter or hand out stationary like notepads, flyers, etc. to our neighborhood. We were always impressed by his dedication and thought that if we ever decided to sell our house, we would contact Andy. When that day finally came, we did exactly that- and it was the best decision we ever made!!
From day one, Andy impressed us with 3 P’s: he was Professional, Patient, and Personable. Andy explained to us the whole process of selling the house and answered all of our queries, which we really appreciated. He gave us great advice, including what he thought would benefit us and what would not. He had done a lot of research on our house, our competition, and the current market prior to meeting with us. He worked with an excellent team comprised of a stager, a photographer, contractors, and a broker who did top quality work. He went the extra mile to make sure our house was presented in the best way. Throughout the whole process, Andy’s motto was “Yours to Count On!” We can confidently say that he lived up to this promise in every way possible. Andy was extremely responsive to all of our emails, texts, and phone calls. He even came over when we called him to discuss our home inspection report!
Overall, Andy was extremely wonderful to work with. We got a strong offer and were able to sell our house within two weeks! At the end of the whole process, Andy became part of our family. Andy exceeded all of our expectations and we would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone who is trying to sell their house! We guarantee that he will be “Yours to Count On!!!”
– Manoj & Leena Dharwadkar
=============================
“Andy has been extremely professional, well prepared and organized during our whole sale and purchase process. He presented exactly what to expect and what we needed to do to sell our townhouse. Following his recommendations, we found a buyer in 7 days! He basically held our hands through the “offer, counteroffer” process and really gave us confidence that we had the best person working in our interest. We love his work ethic and personal interest in the sale of our house, and we never considered anyone else to help us find the perfect house. Regardless of time of day or day of the week, he was able to meet with us to see numerous homes. He made sure we had a smooth transition from the sale to the purchase of our home. Andy always made us feel like we were his only clients and our interest was his top priority. The most impressive note is that I’ve never seen Andy with a cell phone. I’ve never once heard his phone ring or beep with messages. I’ve never seen him check messages or calls, yet we always had him just a phone call or a text message away. I don’t know how he does it in this day and age. We always had 100% of his interest whenever we met. We definitely have found our “Realtor for Life”. We look forward to working with him again in the future.”
– Peter and Crystal Kwon
=============================
“We would like to recommend Andy Pagano to anyone wishing to sell or buy a property. We were inexperienced in the real estate market, and Andy patiently took us through each step to make the whole experience easier. Andy thoroughly explained how to properly price our home, and showed us how to gather data on prices from our neighborhood and surrounding area. He was always available to answer questions, by phone or text, which was important to us. He also has a great team of people to work with in getting your home ready to show, to reach your top potential. Besides the professional expertise, Andy was easy to work with, friendly, and made our needs his top priority.”
– Beth and Bill Bejeck
=============================
“I give my highest recommendation for Andy Pagano. Andy is a true professional, highly knowledgeable, and a great negotiator. I am very grateful to have had Andy as my agent. Hire him, follow his advice, and you will like the result.”
– Christel B.
=============================
“We wanted to thank you for all of your hard work during our entire listing and sales process. We were extremely impressed with your professionalism, knowledge of the local market and all of the helpful advice. Immediately, we knew you were going to be our listing agent (we actually have family and close friends who are Realtors® but we had no doubt you would be the obvious and right choice to list our house). We felt no pressure at all and your dedication speaks for itself. We felt your customized marketing strategy worked out great and we didn’t see anything comparable to it even in million-dollar homes we looked at! For status updates, you did a great job of keeping us in the loop and were fully reachable via email, text, and phone which, for first time sellers, was important. We also appreciated you sticking by us through the entire process from day one to the day we handed over the keys to our buyers after the final walk-through.
We would highly recommend your services to anyone looking to list or buy any property in Maryland!”
– Vince & Kelley Hu
=============================
“Andy Pagano is the BEST real estate agent I’ve ever dealt with. He knows current market trends and employs advanced techniques that gave the sale of my property a distinct advantage over others in a crowded market. My home sold in 13 days! I would …and have…recommended Andy to friends, coworkers and neighbors. My wife and I are so impressed with Andy that we’ve kept him on as our buyer’s agent to purchase a new home! Century 21 is fortunate to have such a great agent representing your company. His customer service, knowledge of local and national real estate conditions and problem-solving ability is unheard of in this day and age!”
– Dave & Joanne Terestre (on the sale of their house)
=============================
“If there was a nomination for Agent of the Year…Andy would have my vote. The most informative, customer service oriented agent that had a REAL interest in helping us find the right home. He sold our home and we enjoyed him so much, he stayed on to find our new one! My wife, Joanne and I can’t say enough great things about this fantastic representative of your company. In short, he embodies the Century 21 philosophy and mission. I have recommended him numerous times to friends…and will continue to do so!”
– Dave & Joanne Terestre (on the purchase of their new home)
=============================
“It was a pleasure working with Andy. He is a true professional, highly prepared, knows the market well and was able to help me achieve my objectives for the sale on time. I’d definitely recommend him and use him in the future.”
– Terry Weisz
=============================
“Andy is the kindest and most honest person I know. I will not hesitate to recommend him to family and friends. He worked diligently for me from the start of my house-hunting until the closing. He recommended a banker who worked just as hard as Andy, along with other professionals who assist during the home buying process. He was always available and returned every call and answered every question. He always made sure I understood the process completely and the different stages you go through when purchasing a home for the first time.
My home purchase was such an exciting experience for me, and the closing was awesome. Andy was there with me every step of the way. He never abandoned me not for a moment. He worked above and beyond the norm for me and at times it seemed to me as though I was his only client, which I knew was not true but he made me feel like I was.
I’ve been in my home for 3 months and still get calls from Andy, just making sure that I’m still happy with my home purchase. He is the best!
Thanks Andy, there is no one else like you that I would trust with my biggest and most important purchase. You can be sure that the next home I purchase you will be there with me every step of the way!”
– Rochelle D. Baker
“Happy Homeowner since June 2010”
=============================
“Thank you for everything that you have done for us. It was a long process as you helped us sell our two homes and purchase our two new homes between January and November 2010. You made it easy by being there for us when we needed you. Without a doubt, you are the best Realtor in Montgomery County.”
– Eyob & Ellen Getaneh & Family

“We truly appreciate everything you did for us in selling our townhome and buying our condo. Your energy, your enthusiasm, and your overall positive outlook are what brought us to you as our Realtor. Thanks for everything!”
– Barb & Paul Jensen
=============================
“Working with Andy Pagano is a real pleasure. He really thinks about you and your needs when it comes to selling your house. His marketing plans are excellent and he has a great insight into the local market. He is always available if you have questions, even calling just to be sure that everything is going well, always keeping you informed. You’ll never be lost in an information “blackout” if Andy is your agent! He brings in a stager, which is a tremendous help when it comes to seeing your house with fresh eyes, helping you make those tough decisions that can really help your house shine, making it say “I’m the right house for you” to picky buyers.
Our house sold very quickly, thanks to Andy’s advise, but I was impressed that he had long-term plans for marketing the house, if things didn’t work out so very fast. We recommend him highly and will give his name to any friends or family members who might be considering selling their house.”
– Cynthia & Stephen Pratt
=============================
“We couldn’t have imagined going through the selling process of our home with anyone other than Andy! Even with today’s challenging housing market, Andy will do anything and everything possible to help you through the selling process, from beginning to end. Regardless of your housing situation, Andy is right by you every step of the way! We couldn’t have done it without you!”
– Bill and Jessica Martin
=============================
“Your constant vigilance, immediate feedback and unquestioning availability throughout the entire marketing and closing process was a great comfort to us in what could have been an otherwise stressful situation. We must admit, the past few months were relatively painless and obviously successful. We appreciated your advice, including the staging, which, in retrospect, really made an impact on the brochure and visitors. We hope to take many of the decorator’s suggestions with us to our new home. Once again, we are truly grateful for all of your support and assistance. We couldn’t have done it without you.”
– Dan and Linda Cunningham

Also, you really are a very honest and helpful person, not to mention that you know your stuff very well. Llewellyn is a very lucky company to have you on their team.”
– Kevin & Sami Ireland
=============================
“I truly appreciate everything you have done for me. Achievement is not only measured by how many homes you have bought or sold, but also by how much reputation you have gained, how much trust you have earned, and how many potential customers you get in the future. I will definitely recommend you to my friends. You really live up to your statement “Yours to count on.””
– B. Wang

– Douglas M. Mascari
=============================
“We would like to thank you for helping us get our house sold in this very challenging market (Fall 2006). You were always prepped and ready to take us to the next level. Your expertise and knowledge in the real estate business is what was needed to get the job done after having changed real estate agents twice before coming to you. Your guidance helped us to accept the right offer and it was a done deal within three weeks. Thank you again for catching the mistake on the final HUD1 statement and for saving us so much money. We’ll be sure to recommend you to our friends & family.”
– Lee & Marie Collison

Congratulations, it is nice to know that other homeowners in Clopper’s Mill are recognizing your proven potential.”
– Anne & Rob Mascari
=============================
“We recently listed our home in Clopper’s Mill West at the end of May 2006. Before listing our home, my husband and I did a great deal of research on agents and pricing and decided to list our home with Andy Pagano. Andy did a great job of researching and presenting to us the local and national housing market, monitoring the competition, marketing our home and working with us on a personal level. In addition, Andy’s agency provided us with a great deal of specialized staff and services.
I am happy to say our home is under contract and if all goes well we will settle shortly. Andy did a great job of representing our needs and interests in this ever-changing housing market.”
– Melissa & Michael Harrington
=============================
“Our most basic and sincere compliment is that of the 30+ REALTORS we’ve worked with over the past five years in acquiring and marketing several dozen homes, you are the most responsive and among the most focused and pleasant to work with.”
– Marc Goldberg
=============================
“We would like to take a moment to recognize Andy Pagano, who was our realtor for both the sale of our old home in Clopper’s Mill West in Germantown as well as our agent for the purchase of our home in The Preserve in Rockville. We contracted with Mr. Pagano in the spring of 2005 and it was the best decision we could have made. Andy really knows the market.
As our listing agent, Andy was incredibly skillful and knowledgeable and extremely ethical. Andy led us in the effort to properly market our home for the best price and was always there to guide us in the process. His marketing material for our home was far superior to any other realtor we have seen. Andy did a great job at showcasing the highlights of our home.
We appreciated Andy’s honesty in determining how to stage our home and prepare it for sale. We received multiple offers and a solid non-contingent contract with a closing date that was extremely advantageous to us.
As our buyer’s agent, Andy worked very hard to ensure that we had the strongest contract for the successful purchase of our dream home. Ironically, we did not even pay the full asking price. Because of Andy’s quick response, the seller would not entertain other potential offers in the midst of a very competitive market. Andy is a gentleman and treated us with the utmost respect. Andy is an exceptional listener and will work harder for you than you can imagine. As stressful as the process of buying and selling a home is, it was made so much easier knowing we had someone so competent at the helm. Andy always had our best interest at heart. Andy possesses great skills in understanding the fine print in the contract and will work his hardest to ensure your satisfaction.
These being only two of many real estate transactions we have had we knew very well what we wanted and Andy did not let us down. He was available by phone at any moment, and he was always extremely responsive to our requests.
It is no easy task hiring a real estate agent. We never second-guessed our decision. There is a lot of competition in the real estate market. Andy realized this and never stopped proving that we had made the right choice. We recommend Andy Pagano wholeheartedly and without reservation.”
– Robert & Anne Marie Mascari
=============================
“Your marketing of our home was second to none in the marketplace, and your skills in knowing the contracts and negotiating helped us achieve a successful sale of our home. To the very end, you worked hard on our behalf, you were quick to respond to any questions or concerns that we ever had, you always had our best interests in mind, and we appreciate your efforts. If we ever have the opportunity to recommend your services to anyone, we will do so knowing that we are sending them to one of the best in the business!”
