Andrei Balaj REALTOR®
- Balaj Home Advisors
- Sales Executive, Team Leader
Since 2011 I have helped hundreds of clients buy and sell real estate in the lower Fairfield County area, my success has been built almost exclusively (75%) on referrals and repeat business. I have earned the trust and respect of my clients by always keeping their needs first and not being afraid to have the difficult conversations when needed. As a result, I perform in the top 10% of real estate agents year after year. Three years ago I started my own real estate team where the focus was to grow the business with a focus on integrity, community, and unparalleled customer service. My philosophy and approach is not of a salesperson, rather, I am your real estate advisor and my focus is to guide you through the process so you can make the best decision possible for you and your family. I have experience in flips and rehab projects, investment properties, and property management, this accumulation of knowledge goes to work for you and helps you better navigate the process as a result. I believe any successful business is built on relationships and for this reason, I have built a strong team around my business to help throughout the entire transaction and beyond the closing table, this team consists of capable and reliable attorneys, mortgage brokers, home inspectors as well as connections in all the trades.
I love to spend my free time with family, friends and my wisker bandit gang, preferably in the great outdoors. While not finding homes for my clients, friends and family I work with a couple of local rescues helping them find ‘furever' homes for our animal friends in need.

As first-time home buyers, we definitely gave Andrei a run for his money. He must have shown us 70 or more houses. In hindsight we were so fickle and difficult to deal with, but he remained professional and patient throughout. He found us a house that we have grown into and absolutely love. Im writing this review three years later.... and we're still so appreciative for all his efforts. He's a great realtor and we highly recommend him.

I met Andrei just by chance. I put my house on the market (for sale by owner) and Andrei just contacted me to show the house to one of his clients. Since day one I noticed how different Andrei was to all realtors I had dealt with in the past. I had purchased three properties in the past and sold two. Every time I had dealt with a different realtor and I still had not found one that I could call back again for my next transaction. Andrei is the be...Read more

Andrei Balaj did an outstanding job in marketing and selling our property that was in need of TLC while sticking to a tight budget and timeframe. He is very knowleageble of the real estate market and regulations and provided us with valuable insight into key aspects of the transaction. Andrei managed the needed upgrades to the property with the utmost professionalism, responsiveness and excellent negotiation skills. We highly recommend him for yo...Read more

Andrei helped us find our dream home within our budget. He really came through in only showing us houses within our criteria. When it came down to buying the house he was available same day to help with negotiations and facilitating communications with the seller. We were on a tight timeline so this level of service was extremely important and helped lower the stress of buying our first home.

Andrei was a very informative realtor. His knowledge of Stamford, and the general Fairfield county area was very impressive. Andrei not only helped me get a great deal on my condo, but also helped learning the area before moving in. Andrei was well prepared with additional properties after our original visit and really tailored the visits to exactly what I was looking for in the Stamford area. Andrei also made himself available after all the cont...Read more

The idea of purchasing a home as a single mom was a terrifying idea to me as real estate and mortgage was a complete foreign language to me. Andrei made the entire process a complete pleasure. He was highly processional and went beyond of the call of duty to make it very easy for me to purchase my home. He explained every detail of the process to me and always made himself available for any questions. He took the time to fully understand my situa...Read more

I have worked with Andrei for over five years. He has assisted me with finding and closing on several condominium units, some of which were complex transactions (foreclosure, short sale). In my experience, his attention to detail, timely follow-through, and persistence in getting the deal done is unmatched. I would highly recommend his services to anyone looking to close a transaction quickly and efficiently.

Working with Andrei was time well spent. He showed me about 5 houses and one of those, is now the house I live in. So he understood what I was looking for and no time was wasted. If you call/text or email him he will respond right away so that was very helpful to me. His negotiation skills were also up to par. He took notes on what was important or not important to me and with that information created & delivered a nice thorough summary of ...Read more

When my wife and I finally came across Andrei our experience was like night and day compared to the last 3 agents we had.

Andrei is the best realtor I have ever dealt with and I would never go to any other realtor moving forward. He always takes care of any given issues very promptly and professionally. Andrei fought for me since the beginning and up until the last minute. I found my dream home thanks to Andrei, since I had missed this property on the website. Thanks to Andrei I got an amazing price and a place I can really call home (hoping to close next month).

In my opinion, an honest and respectable realtors, stays in contact with his clients making sure they are happy with their purchase. That is exactly what Andrei has done!

He always presented the pros and cons of every place. He has never tried to push me to make a purchase like some other agents have done in the past and made me feel like I had a best friend by my side throughout the entire process instead of someone that was just trying to make a sale. I have recommended Andrei to all of my family and friends and if I ever need to sell or buy, I will defiantly be reaching out him :).

I could not recommend him enough to other's looking for an experienced agent with extensive local contacts, and an exceptionally strong knowledge of the local market.

Once the renovations were done, Andre staged the apartment to perfection. As the offers started to come in, he helped me understand each until we found the right offer at the best price. In the end, Andre's full service helped me sell my apartment for a price that was beyond my expectations. Could not have done it without him!
