About

Helping People Make Their Move

Since becoming a Licensed Real Estate Salesperson in 2008, Andy decided to join James Marcora Realty with Broker Kelly Dimbat. Kelly's "hands on" approach with her clients, enthusiasm, knowledge and desire to be a direct mentor made Andy know he wanted to work with her.

Being a people person, real estate sales has come naturally to Andy. His varied background and previous condo sales in Newport, R.I. helps to complement this. He received his Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Massachusetts Amherst and lived and worked in Western MA for 15 years.

Working with home owners and sellers from 2001 to 2007 for Hilltown Environmental Consulting, Andy assisted with property scouting, land surveys, septic system installations and Title V compliance issues. This experience helps him understand and meet his client's needs by understanding the details that are needed to help bring interested parties together.

Growing up in Chelmsford and having roots there, lead Andy to move back in 2008 where he now owns a home in the Westlands section of town.

Andy loves to travel and his travels to Central and South America, along with his university studies, lead him to become a fluent speaker of the Spanish language. He enjoys watching, listening to, and playing music. He is an avid Red Sox fan and also enjoys the outdoors.

Andy is a member of MLS, Network Property Information Systems, and a Realtor® (member of the Local, State and National Association of Realtors®).

Pierre Robert Client, Buyer

Andy Kaknes is a top notch real estate agent! My wife and I ultimately bought a house in Concord and through the whole process Andy was patient, professional and worked tirelessly to get us the house we wanted. I strongly recommend him because the whole process of buying a house can be very stressful and as an agent he made it actually enjoyable and fun!

He was so patient and very understanding when I was looking to buy. He gave me so many options that I was able to find a condo in less than a month. He is very flexible, always on time and even goes an extra mile to help whenever necessary. Thanks Andy. You are the best.

I wanted to take a moment to share my experience with Andy Kaknes as my Realtor. I am a Real Estate Investor, as well as a licensed Massachusetts Real Estate Salesperson and a member of the Eastern Middlesex Association of Realtors. On a recent renovation flip real estate deal which I was involved in I decided to use Andy Kaknes as my listing agent in order to take some work off of my desk. Being a professional myself I was skeptical that I would be pleased with the manner and effort in which Andy would approach my real estate listing. However, after the fact I can speak to the point that Andy was the utmost professional, proactive, and reactive as necessary. He helped me facilitate a great listing that attracted buyers and we had our property under contract for sale in only a couple of weeks! I would be glad to have Andy list another one of my projects, next time I won’t be so worried in the beginning!

My husband and I are making the move from Boston to Lowell and Andy Kaknes has been our worthy guide the whole way. Andy is in-the-know when it comes to the Lowell area in particular. He provided us with constant updates of apartment availability and on multiple occasions arranged for us to view the "hot" units before they were even listed. He offered concerned advice, but did not pressure us one way or the other and never showed us an apartment that didn't include the elements most important to us. Andy is supportive and honest, and keeps working until the customer is satisfied.

My wife and I were recently looking for a new apartment in the downtown Lowell area. Andy Kaknes helped us find an excellent place that met all of our needs, but also surpassed many of our expectations. From the quality of the living space, to a location close in proximity to public transportation, it was Andy's knowledge of the area and his relationship with the community that helped place us in our delightful apartment.

Andy would always have us in mind whenever a new listing would come up. Each one better then the last. We would often be traveling from the Boston area to view an apartments. Andy's flexibility with our busy schedules and ability to set up viewings of multiple listings was a huge plus to us.

Even through the application process, Andy was by our side all along the way. He was consistently available by phone or email to answer any questions and he was willing to take on the additional legwork that occasionally comes up. I can't say enough about Andy's friendly demeanor and level of professionalism. He's a down to earth individual with an honest, no bull style. We look forward to working with Andy again in the future.

Andy Kaknes helped my boyfriend and I find a new loft this past month in Downtown Lowell. I don't think we would have been able to find such a great place without him.We had very specific wants and needs, Andy found us a place that met all of them. He knows the area very well , it was his relationship with the community that helped us scoop up our place before anyone else did. I would recommend Andy to anyone looking to rent or own, he pays attention to detail, bends over backwards to be available, and is up front and honest. Thank you Andy!!!

"I was a first-time home buyer and my agent, Andy Kaknes, guided me through the home buying process with ease and professionalism. He was very good at communicating his thoughts and ideas about any concerns I had and more than willing to do any legwork necessary. With his service I was able to find the property that has made me a very happy home owner.

Andy Kaknes and the entire team at James Marcora Realty earned my respect and trust both as professionals and people. Andy and I remain close friends and he continues to provide advice in all aspects of home and home services."
