RICK ANDREWS

Following graduation from Florida State University College of Law, I practiced law in central Florida for over a decade. Although the practice of law was financially rewarding, it was never personally fulfilling. So in 2004, I left my home state of Florida and the practice of law and moved to the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains to start a career in real estate. I LOVE IT. Real estate is my passion. There is no greater professional pleasure than successfully negotiating a deal for a client.

"Ralph and I want to thank you and your staff for working so hard and doing such a great job on the sale of our home.... The process of getting a house ready to sell is usually a very stressful situation, especially when we live in a different location. We feel that you and your staff went that extra mile by showing, marketing, and selling our home as well as easing that stress. We both enjoyed meeting you and will always think of you as a great agent as well as a friend." Ralph and Nan Frey

"While it has been over a month since we made settlement on our home, your persistant efforts on our behalf have not been overlooked. As you know the real estate market in general began to decline about the time we first listed with you, yet your continuing optimism and persistant efforts never waivered." Richard Helsley

"How lucky were we? A few months ago my wife and I ventured up from Naples, Florida... in search of our dream mountain home. We then happened upon Scenic Realty and Rick Andrews, with his untiring and diligent effforts we were able to realize and procure the dream we sought after. We're writing this in hopes others could be as lucky as we were." Gary & Kenja Darjai

"I could not have asked for anyone to be more helpful in selling my river cabin than Century 21 was. They kept me posted as to the market, showings and possibilities. When the right buyers came along they made all the arrangements for closing etc. Thanks Rick and Scenic 21 from a very satisfied client. " Eloise Cawthon

"Thank you for your professional and courteous help with the sale of my lot in Moss Mtn. I can hardly believe that you were able to get a contract on the property and have the sale closed in less than 90 days from the listing. That is a testimony to your skills, hard work and determination. Thank you and I look forward to working with you again. " Fenn Little

"We were in the area and wanted to personally thank you for taking good care of us during the negotiations and the closing.... You spent lots of time with us on the phone, patientlyanswering each question and your explanations were detailed concerning each line onthe papers we needed to sign. Thanks again for your caring attitude and we will definately keep you in mind if we need your services again. You just never know-- there's lots of beautiful land in those mountains. " Robert & Mary Ann Marks

"I needed an understanding real estate professional who would work hard to market and sell my property as quickly as possible. I found such a person in Rick Andrews at Century 21 Scenic Realty. Not only did he work tirelessly topush my property to as many markets as possible but quickly located a buyer. Once the temperamental buyers were found, he bent over backwards to keep everyone happy. He completely coordinated the closing working with tirelessly with the lender, attorney, and buyer to ensure that the closing was successful the first time and without delay. Thank you for making it happen!" Troy Hooper
