Chandy Andre

Prestige Coastal Real Estate, Inc.

Chandy thought she had found her calling at an early age, realizing she had a passion for teaching developmentally disabled children. But life took her down another path. Chandy discovered other people who needed guidance and the powerful knowledge she could provide for them. Chandy had had some teaching opportunities along the way that were very dear to her, but her husband at the time had an ambition of owning a business. Chandy and her husband owned several companies before getting into the real estate game. They bought everything from single homes and new builds to mobile home parks and multi-family houses. But something was missing. The fulfillment she felt as a teacher was sadly absent, and her heart yearned to continue to teach. It was during this time that Chandy was offered a life-changing opportunity. She was involved with a local investment group that would hold courses. She learned an immense amount from them. Other members of the group noticed this, and Chandy was offered a job facilitating a women’s investment class. She agreed, and it changed her world. She then found herself raising her kids alone. She went from being a stay-at-home mom, homeschooling her kids, to being a single parent, working full-time. She loves her children more than anything in the world but providing for four kids all on her own was a real feat. She then became a regional owner in Southern California, buying entire franchises. The scope was wide, and she rested easy knowing she did well for people. That said, bigger is not always better, and she wanted more personalized interactions. She could put those teaching skills to use for her clients, collaborate more closely with them, and walk them through the entire process. So, she left the franchises behind to open a boutique brokerage. She has no regrets. Chandy has been able to hone her teaching skills to help in her personal life and to guide her family. Not just her children, but their families, her grandchildren. It is that same care she offers to all her clients. It is not just the sale of a home. It is a life-long investment. When a client collaborates with Chandy, they can take comfort in knowing she provides business experience, knowledge, and the drive to pass that knowledge on. She is set apart by her passion for serving people and her creative thinking. It is not about the sale, the company, or the home, it is about the clients, Chandy wants to hear their voices. People have been known to underestimate her because of her stature, but her history shows a different story. She is not here for one transaction, she is here for the clients, and future members of the client’s family, as they use these properties as the building blocks of their financial goals. Chandy’s heart’s desire is for her clients to love their lives, wherever they may be. She knows a sale is not just about shaping a client’s present, it is about shaping their future.
