I work with a residential real estate team dedicated to serving our clients' real estate needs. We use our wits, experience and a ton of technology to create our clients' happily ever after stories.
Here's our brief chronology the team:
Mike has been a realtor since 1992, and his experience and caring manner for his clients needs, has been the cornerstone of building a happy client base in Vancouver. As a RE/MAX realtor, he has the training and networks to serve his clients professionally.
In 2001, Mike's wife Claire, joined him in his real estate practice. Together, they built www.mikeandclaire.ca , new business systems, and served more clients, more effectively.
In 2005, Christine Hay, a past client, joined them and Team Andruff began (Our product is homes ... our passion is people!). Also at this time, our website evolved into http://www.teamandruff.ca/ . We now featured our listings with videos, as well as pictures, floor plans, and all pertinent documents PDF'ed (particularly for condos). We also offered buyers a Virtual Office Website (VOW) for property searches. We started blogging and using Craig's List and YouTube.com for our property videos. This is a team intro video:
In 2008, our attention turned to working more effectively with our buyer segment. We developed a new site called http://www.vancouverpropertyfinder.com/ . The website showcases all properties listed in Vancouver, BC. Yes, the Team Andruff site remains as a prime site for showcasing our listings for sale.
In 2009, Greg Andruff, Mike and Claire's son, joined the team. You can view this site and the Team's bois here. Also in 2009, Mike established himself as a Personal Real Estate Corporation. This is a strategic business decision for Mike and it illustrates the evolution of his real estate practice.
Who are we?
We are a company with a sincere desire to help others achieve their real estate goals and for our associates to grow and prosper in our success.
We work the Vancouver residential market. Selling both condos and detached (single family) Vancouver homes. Our clients range from first time buyers to sophisticated property investors. We also deal in foreclosure, estate and family law real estate dispositions.
Moving forward in 2009, we expect to have our real clients tel their stories by way of a video testimonial:
"Mike Andruff is a dedicated realtor who loves his job and is committed to quality service and excellence for his customers. I have never met a more professional and hard working agent who is also personable and pleasant to work with. I would recommend Mike whenever you want the best of both worlds."
From Mr. Bob Jordan
"Before I contacted Team Andruff I found looking to buy a home for the first time to be a stressful and frustrating endeavor. The first time I walked into the Team Andruff office however, I was greeted with a warm welcome, and my concerns were immediately addressed. Within the week I was looking at great houses with my agent Christine, who went out of her way to make my experience enjoyable, exciting and completely stress-free the way purchasing a home should be. I have recommended Team Andruff to all my friends and family and intend to continue my relationship with them in any future sales or purchases.
Thanks Team Andruff!
