Testimonials
"“Dear Mr. Karigan, I read the Orange County Register this morning and saw your sale & listing tied to two sports "legends" Wright & Palmer. (News 14) I'm sending you a "hooray for Andrew" note!" The song "We Are Family" by Sister Sledge came on the radio the other day. My husband said that was the theme song of the Pirates in the 1979 World Series (against Baltimore). (Mr. Wright played in the '97 Series for Pittsburgh and recently played for Balitmore. We should care when someone in our county (family) sells and get top $, because all of us homeowners win in the end. Your resume is amazing, and I thank you for getting into a field where you can use your polish to enhance the vitality of the housing market.""

"“I went to Andrew for help in finding a second home in California. I had been out of the USA for many years and was living in London at the time Andrew, who specializes in relocation was amazing. He quickly re-acquainted me with the US real estate market, helped me identify exactly what it was I was looking for and systematically scoured his huge network of contacts and properties until we found exactly what I wanted. He is a ighly professional individual with enormous talent and a wealth of contacts and experience which guarantees his clients' satisfaction. If you want to move to California, or if you just want to move in California, Andrew Karigan is your man.”"

"“I have known Andrew Karigan for several years and am very impressed by his work as a realtor in the Newport Coast / Newport Beach / Corona del Mar areas. His professionalism and strong work ethic have helped him achieve his top position in the Orange County real estate market. Mr. Karigan's amazing marketing skills go well beyond what I have seen anyone else in the local real estate market try and do. Mr. Karigan truly performs and excels as a realtor and I highly recommend him to anyone interested in buying or selling a home in the area.”"
Barry Knickerbocker Sat Sep 15, 2007
"“I found Andrew on LinkedIn.com when my in-laws decided to make a move from London, England to Orange County (Corona Del Mar area specifically). I contacted Andrew to see if he could help (knowing it was something he couldn't really make any "real" money with) and he went right to work with the specifications I gave him. When they arrived, he had a good mix of rentals to show them and they found their townhouse on the first day and have already moved in. They LOVE it and couldn't be happier living in exactly the location they were looking for. My in-laws had nothing but a great experience with Andrew and I'm sure they will stay in contact with him for when they're ready to buy down the road! Christine Corden”"
Christine Corden Mon Jul 2, 2007
"“Andrew is committed to servicing the needs of all his corporate client relocations from around the country as well as for clients of gale executive recruiting, inc. His many high-end clients and hands-on knowledge of the premium California homeowner, naturally focus him on above and beyond service and attention to detail. Despite this high brow environment, he is warm, genuine and sincere. His concern for simplifying the busy executive's decisions and concerns goes even to the individual needs of the Family's well being. That’s how he has earned his AAAA reputation and many national honors and referrals.”"
Bob Gale Mon Jul 9, 2007
"“My wife and I hired Andrew to sell our house in 2005 and he's been our realtor ever since. He is one of the hardest working (and most patient) realtors in Southern California. He's currently representing us on the purchase of our next home. Andrew is extremely aggressive and thorough, so if you're looking for a realtor in SoCal he's a great choice..”"
Christopher & Tracee Larocca 
"“Andrew is the ultimate professional. He listens to your needs, works hard to meet those needs and does it all with patience. I highly recommend using Andrew to help you sell your existing home or to find a new home.”"
Pamela Wheeler Mon Jul 16, 2007
""We have used Andrew Karigan in multiple real estate transactions. When we decided to purchase a larger home, we consulted with Andrew for marketing strategies to sell our home at 16 Versailles as quickly as possible. Andrew directed us on a pricing strategy and also immediately marketed the home to realtors and prospective buyers. Our home sold in 2 days. We were very impressed with the way that Andrew handled the transaction and also immediately helped us to purchase our new home. We highly recommend Andrew Karigan as a professional and skilled realtor in the Orange County area.""
Joseph and Sarah Jones Mon Oct 1, 2007
"“Andrew is an astute realtor and a master negotiator. His knowledge of the real estate market and sales cycle offer his clients a superior advantage in making critical investment decisions. He is proactive in his approach to client service and I would recommend his representation as either a buyer or seller of high value residential property.”"
Michael Okada Wed Aug 1, 2007
"“ Dear Andrew, I just wanted to thank you so much from my heart for all that you have done. I know that the story goes that there are no friends in business, but I hope to prove them wrong with you. I am so blessed to have met you and look forward to moving up the hill with you in the next few years. You have gone beyond what was required in every aspect and we do thank you for that. I know I go on about Australia, however, if we have agents that conducted themselves there the way that you do, hell, there would only be you!!!. You would clean up and be king of the realtors. So at the risk of crying into my computer, thank you so much Mr. Andrew Karigan.”"

Tumack, Home Buyer in Newport Beach

Do you think $3.5m for a front row view property in Castaways (Newport Beach) is a good buy?

Asked Mon Apr 14 2008, 20:32 by Tumack  -  Newport Beach  -  Home Buying  -  3 answers
Andrew Karigan answered:
Hello Tumack,

I was the most recent listing agent for this property when it was listed at $3,599,000 and then reduced to $3,499,000. Property address: 29 Cape Andover. I know the family well and know the whole story behind this home. I am working with the sellers now to help their son find a home. I will be glad to give you my opinion with regards to this property as I know it VERY well. Please contact me to discuss as it would be better to do so off-line. Thank you, Andrew Karigan 949-929-6922 email: andrew.karigan@cox.net http://www.AndrewKarigan.com
