"
My wife and I had been recommended to use Andrew Geotes upon our initial move down to Gulfport, MS back in 2020 to find a home. That process went very well and we successfully closed on the purchase of our 1st home. Andrew and his team at NextHome Simplicity made the home buying process very easy and really took care of us. He took the time to explain everything our first go around. The process was so streamlined. All we really had to do was look at houses and once we found one they took care of the rest even through the process of being under contract and scheduling all inspections.
Fast forward to late 2023 as we are about to sell and move back home. Our previous experience with Andrew and his team made us not hesitate for a moment to call him to help us sell our home here. He carefully navigated us through the process of selling for the first time. His recommendations and selling strategy were top notch and he picked up on things we missed. He was able negotiate a very good deal for us and took care of us from start to finish. Andrew and his team were always on top of everything and available to answer any questions at any time. Again they made the process of selling very streamlined and effortless.
I would highly recommend Andrew Geotes and his team at NextHome Simplicity to anyone looking to buy or sell property in the Gulfport, MS area and surrounding areas on the MS coast. Andrew and his team are top of the line, hard chargers, and take the stress out of the home buying/selling process.

I honestly don’t believe anyone could have done a better job, the entire process selling our house was as good as I could have hoped it would be.

Andrew and Kaitlyn were both extremely knowledgeable and handled the purchase of our new home with quick responses, professionalism, promptness, and a broad knowledge of the MS Gulf Coast real estate market. When we had an issue with the new home’s square footage, they immediately measured it themselves and handled the situation with the seller’s company. This resulted in saving us a great deal of money. If you are in need of a realtor on the MS Gulf Coast, look no further. Don’t choose your part time friend or neighbor just because they have a real estate license. Trust your largest purchase to full time professionals with years of experience in the area.

I referred some friends of mine to Andrew to help them sell their home and
the results were excellent. Andrew listed the home for about $10,000.00
more than I originally discussed with the sellers, and within 3 months he
had multiple offers and the house under contract. He made the process
easy and enjoyable for all parties involved. Andrew is clearly one of the
best in the business here on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

As a first time home buyer, Andrew was with me every step of the way. He
found exactly what I was looking for and helped me negotiate to get exactly
what I wanted from the purchase. He was easily accessible and ready to
answer any and all questions I had.

Andrew’s team at NextHome are top notch.
Andrew and Ivy were extremely knowledgeable about all the recent trends within the sales market along the Mississippi gulf coast and in my local neighborhood. We met with a few realtor and knew immediately that Andrew was the realtor for us. He was honest and straightforward. He didn’t try to overestimate our home value in order to get our business. He explained why he chose the valued point of our home that he did in a manner that we could agree on. We put our trust in his process and he delivered on every aspect that he promised. Andrew had his preferred staging and photography team advise us on what the best use of space for our floor plan. After that, We were on the market for a total of a 4 days and were under contract on the 5th day at the exact price point that he stated he would get us. If you want a professional and knowledgeable team that will take the stress out of selling your home; then Andrew and his team at NextHome is the obvious choice.

I received an email this morning to write a recommendation for Andrew Geotes. I sat at my desk for a minutes thinking to myself how do I write this recommendation without coming across cheesy and appear to be a fake review. I wished I could tell you about these things in person, not only to hear my words but see the excitement and gratitude that I have for Andrew and Kathy at Next Home Simplicity. My wife and I were unsure if we wanted to sell our house. We heard from close friends that today’s market was the time to sell. We loved our home, maybe we just don’t need the stress right now in selling and buying a new home. We called Andrew and met with him at our home. The first words he said to us, have you picked a house you’re ready to buy. This shocked us. He said this is a hot market, but your house is beautiful. It will sell in a day or so once we listed it. We wondered the validity of this. In any facet of our lives, we hear over commitments and are delivered under performance. Well, those fears, and anxieties were washed away with Andrew and Kathy. We just met these two and felt like we were important to them. Honestly Andrew and Kathy made us feel like we were family to them. This approach, this professionalism remained throughout the course of selling, buying and after the transaction. I can honestly say, if you want a realtor that goes above and beyond your expectations that team is with Next Home Simplicity. I know deep in my heart your home and future home will be handled the same manner. You will not be disappointed. There is nothing worse than be under served and under performed by folks you put trust in. You will not feel this way with Andrew and Kathy. I honestly wished Andrew and Kathy could teach this to so many professionals we deal with in our lives. I know we all have had professionals in our life that it felt they were doing us a favor versus doing their jobs. Almost all of us buy or sell a home 2 or 3 times in our lives, make sure you pick someone to make those times exciting and stress free. Andrew, Kathy, and the team at Next Home Simplicity will ensure you are satisfied with every step throughout the process.
Thank you

Brittany and Lacey were very professional & compassionate. I feel they tailored showings to my convenience. Selling my house went smoothly. I got an offer in 48 hrs. The staging Brittany had done was very helpful. I highly recommend this service. The photography of the house was top notch.
Again, I highly recommend Brittany , Andrew, & Lacey. They feel like family. I can not say enough.

Andrew is not only an awesome realtor, he's a great person. He's not
pushy and really listened to what I needed. He helped me when I bought my
house and then again when I sold it. He had the house under contract
within six months, but we encountered some issues when the buyer's
inspector found roof problems and unfortunately lost that sale. Andrew
went above and beyond his responsibilities and helped me find a reputable,
reliable roofing contractor. As a single woman, that meant so much to me.
I had the roof repaired right away and Andrew had the house under
contract again and sold within three months. If you want someone who will
take care of you from beginning to end, Andrew is your best bet.

If I had only one word to use to describe Andrew and his staff, it would be “SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS“ and this is a mouth full. Coming from a military family point of view we have had our share of bad and inexperienced real estate agents with buying and selling our homes. However, OUR confidence has been restored in the real estate business due to Andrew AND his staff. I could go on and on about our experience but listening to him and he in return listening to us RESTORED our confidence. We sold our home in a week with his advise and guidance. Can’t thank him enough. Thank you so much Andrew, Kathy & Kaitlin, you guys ROCK!!! and we are so grateful for all of your help. For those of you out there looking for an agent. LOOK NO FURTHER.

As soon as I clicked "send more info" about a home on Zillow, Andrew
Geotes was the first to respond within minutes. We are first time buyers
and did not know much about the home buying process, but he went above
and beyond, step by step to make sure we understood. He is very
persistent and was quick to respond to our questions and was on top of
scheduling viewings as soon as possible. By the time we finished viewing
the first home, he already knew exactly what we wanted. He never pushed a
home he thought did not meet our basic criteria. He works well around your
work and personal schedule. We recently closed on our new home and we
couldn't thank him enough. We highly recommend Andrew Geotes with
Fidelis Realty, you'll be in your dream home in no time!

Andrew was a gem when my husband and I began searching for a home.
He was available to meet with us on a Saturday on extremely short notice,
and that day we found our home! Andrew was upfront and made great
suggestions. Andrew is a friendly, hard-working realtor. My husband and I
love our home!!!

My wife and I were unsure if we wanted to sell our home. We were nervous and really questioned if it was the right time. Andrew and Kathy were fantastic and calmed our fears. Andrew and his team very professional through out the sell and purchase of our new home. Every text, call and email were answered promptly. When Andrew or Kathy stated they would be get back to us, they followed through. Sometimes you meet individuals that you wished could handled every business question you had, Andrew and Kathy are one of them. Sadly you may only buy two or three homes in your life, I hope that this team is there for me when that next occasion occurs. I know deep down if you choose Andrew and Next Home to be your partner in the sell or the purchase of your home you will would finish the transaction feeling the same way. From Sandra and I, we truly appreciate you.

I would like to say thank you to Mr. Geotes and Mrs. Vance first and foremost for taking on such a complicated and timely sale. With my difficult situation and time difference between Italy and MS, they made sure all communication was prompt and concise via email or phone calls. You have helped me in such a way you will never truly understand. Both of you had such kindness and understanding, I surely did not feel like a customer but rather a human in need of help. If I am ever stationed back in MS (not by choice) I definitely will be seeking your help. Mrs. Vance you are the MVP of all assistant with such kindness and empathy. THANK YOU BOTH!!

My family and We are extremely satisfied with Andrew and Brittany Geotes. Mr. Geotes personally visited our residence and engaged in a detailed discussion with my spouse and me. To our astonishment, within a mere six days of listing our property, it was promptly secured under contract, accompanied by two enticing offers. Ms. Ivy, a remarkable individual, skillfully managed all forms of correspondence throughout the entire process.
If you are seeking a real estate agent who exemplifies transparency and consistently delivers on their commitments, I highly recommend reaching out to Andrew without delay!

I highly recommend Andrew Geotes and the staff of Nexthome Simplicity. All are very knowledgeable and professional. Whenever I had a question or concern,they were always available to honestly answer and solve. My home was listed and closed within 30 days and sold for more than I expected. I have recommended them to friends who have also been totally happy with their results.

Andrew Geotes was extremely professional and caring. He was receptive
to all the changes that were made. When I put my house up for sale, he walked me through each step of the process. He even assisted me in finding an excellent realtor in New Orleans. He remained in constant contact with my realtor and me. He followed up on the sale, along with the moving company to coincide with my move to Long Beach. Andrew was intensely motivated to find me the move-in-ready home that was what I could live in and enjoy for years to come. His compassion for my grandson and me helped reduce the major portion of stress. He shared the events of change we endured over a six-month
period that went way beyond the normal expectations of a realtor. He had
unwavering trust that we would find the right house with the right price. His
vigilance was successful. Andrew has the rock solid moral character that helped me through complexity of the process. He knows all the right people for making the best decisions for a loan and what to do within each time frame of the
move. My situation has been the most challenging I could have imagined,
but he was dedicated to being there and always returned my calls the same
day. Andrew has had my best interest at heart rather than his own and that has
made all the difference. He is unselfish and generous with his time and
attention. He was committed to getting me into this marvelous house and I
love it more every day!

Very pleased with Andrew, has done a great job, house is under contract
and awaiting closing, under contract 2 weeks after listing, I was told by a
realitor from another firm that houses do not sell in the winter, holidays,
cold, no one is looking then always had to wait to spring, i knew she was
lying, and now i have the proof.

We were interested in finding a home that was closer to our grandchildren
and in town. Andrew helped us both find a home that was a perfect fit for
our needs, helped us to get the best deal and then also sold our old house
in record time! He's a hard worker, always available and helpful. Highly
recommend!

Andrew gave us excellent advice on what to fix and what to leave alone as we prepared our house to sell. This advice saved us around $5k of unnecessary expense and sold the house within one week of being on the market. He is prompt and thorough in his communication. If you need a PRO who understands real estate and the local market, you can depend on Mr. Geotes and his team.

Andrew handled the sale of my home with the highest degree of professionalism. His knowledge of the local real estate market, combined with a strategic marketing plan for my home, resulted in an optimal offer on my home and a short window for closing that both myself and the buyers desired. Communication throughout the listing, many showings, negotiations, and closing on my home were responsive and efficient. Thank you, Andrew!

We have used Mr. Geotes’s services in the past. We came back to Andrew to help sell our home because of the great service he provided in finding our home. Andrew is a go getter, very good communicator, and all around good person. His team is second to none. If needed I will definitely reach out to Andrew and his team to help me with my needs. Thank you Andrew and team for another well done job.

Andrew has encyclopedic knowledge of the area, people, and businesses.
We came here with a tight time frame to find a house and Andrew came
through. Without his assistance, we doubt we would have located a
suitable residence. Andrew knows the area and provides excellent
feedback on locations and tailors the search to your
requirements/requests. His negotiation acumen is spot on and led to us
getting a great price on a wonderful house. He responds when needed and
always within the same day if he is busy. He is an excellent realtor and we
doubt you can find better with the Gulfcoast area. Highly recommended.

I have nothing but good things to say about my realtor Andrew Geotes. He
helped me through a very difficult negotiation and loan process, without
him I don't think I would have successfully bought my home. He was
always available and honest, he told it like it was!! I always felt he was
really working for me. I was extremely lucky to have him as my realtor.
He's the best!

Andrew Geotes is a truly exceptional, hard working, and dedicated real
estate agent, and I can honestly give him this complement since I've been
through a few of them. He has a passion and real gumption for this job that
makes him unique in every way. I had my home on the market for 3 long,
grueling years and went through multiple agents from large real estate
agencies. After listing my home with Andrew from Fidelis Reality, it was
only a matter of months before I received an offer and closed on my home.
In the meantime, he found me a new home, and I closed a week after selling
my old home. Does this ever happen?? Unbelievable! The guy works
around the clock and kept me completely informed about the transactions.
I couldn't have found a better real estate agent and a good person. I would
recommend him to anyone. I hope this comment inspires others to contact
Andrew.
