Who is Andrea?

Andrea started a business back in 2007 with a $2,000 credit card limit. She grew it to annual sales of half-a-million and sold it in 2022. She also worked as a “turn-around” business consultant helping small business owners improve their sales, operations and finance. Aside from the projects listed here, Andrea and Axel have done single-family flips, renovations on residential and commercial buildings, bought and sold a single family rental portfolio and even “house hacked” before their oldest was born. Andrea also worked on a 92-unit townhome development when she was right out of college!
