Andrea Sarvis
Andrea was born and raised on the Augusta Road side of Greenville, and attended public schools here K-12, graduating in 1992 from Greenville Senior High School. She grew up in an older home with constant projects and perhaps is where her love of renovating and home with character began. After college, she met and married her husband here in Greenville where they made their first two home purchases and moved as a family. After having two children, they made a move for 9 years to Dalton, GA and another almost 11 years after in Chattanooga, TN. While her husband served in the banking industry for all these years, Andrea spent more of her time volunteering at preschools and then elementary through high school, church, and community events. She served as PTA President and various other leadership roles, church committee chair positions, and helped create and organize large fundraising events for the public schools. During the 20 years she was gone from Greenville, she had a third child, and proceeded to purchase and sell another 9 homes. This experience gained her an unbelievable amount of home searching, house organization and staging, packing and moving, and renovation experience she uses everyday in her real estate career. After so many personal moves, she finally decided to become a licensed agent in 2017 in Tennessee, and upon returning back to Greenville in 2019 it seemed the natural fit to jump back in to making this place home again. She joined the Marchant Real Estate group in 2020, having grown up with several of their second generation family agents! Andrea loves a “project client” as her husband calls them. She likes being able to help families navigate all of the stages of getting their home ready to sell, searching for their next big purchase, and easily getting through the packing/moving that many people dread. She believes everyone should ‘Trust the magic of new beginnings! When she isn't buying and selling real estate, Andrea enjoys spending time with her husband and three kids. They spend every season attending Clemson sports events as often as possible. They also enjoy finding new restaurants and neat shopping spots, as well as relaxing at home watching HGTV and getting excited about new home projects. Andrea enjoys exercising, painting, and organizing!
With her philosophy of “trust the magic of new beginnings,” Andrea is committed to helping her clients find fresh, exciting beginnings in the home of their dreams. Andrea finds fulfillment in focusing on a smaller client base, which allows her to have a personal and accessible, concierge-type approach to the home buying/selling process. Her clients are consistently met with deliberate care and attention. Invigorated by a good challenge, Andrea thrives on both old home renovations and new construction advantages.
