Who We Are My brokers, Keith and Howard, started Round Table Realty in 2010 after a career in new construction sales. While interviewing with several brokerages in town, they both came away feeling like the industry had lost its heart. Getting the sale seemed more important than serving clients. So they took a leap of faith and started their own brokerage with one mission in mind - putting People Before Property. They call it heart-first realty.
And that just seems like the way it should be, doesn't it?

Andrea Farhat Born in Jacksonville, Andrea is a real Northeast Florida native! She graduated from the University of North Florida with a Bachelors of Business Administration and Marketing!
That business degree came in handy! Andrea met her husband in 1999 at a Christmas party. He began his own medical practice after they wed, and Andrea found herself a business jackof-all-trades, handling everything from office administration to medical billing.
While she helped her husband run his business, she knew she wanted something more. One evening, while browsing homes online for fun, her husband gave her the light bulb moment. "Why don't you go into Real Estate?" he asked. Andrea was shocked by how much sense that next step made to her. Within a year, she had her Real Estate license and began practicing.
As a seasoned real estate professional, she recognizes the value the trust her clients place in her to help them achieve their real estate dreams. Buying or selling a house is one of the largest and more complex purchases you will make. The stress and financial costs of getting it wrong can be significant.
Andrea prides herself on providing guidance throughout the whole transaction. She understands just how vital it is to secure your dream home or sell your home for maximal gains.
Andrea aims to deliver top results and an enjoyable experience each time. You can place your confidence in her ability, experience and dependability.
When she's not showing homes, she loves spending time with family and friends, serving our community, playing the piano, being outdoors and going to the beach!

OurBuyers
90% of people in the market for a new home use the internet to search for the perfect place!
I can save you time by improving your internet searches so you aren't pouring over listing details that all begin to look the same.
What the internet can't do is tell you when a home smells musty, when an electrical panel needs to be replaced, whether the finishings were properly installed, and when evidence of a past water leak can be found under the guest bathroom sink. While I am not a home inspector, I can give you visual clues as to the health of a home before you put in an offer.

OurBuyers Lending Partnerships In most cases, you should begin to secure financing before you even start home-shopping! Luckily, I've spent years building relationships with lenders who believe the client comes first. I can lead you in the right direction.
Insurance Partnerships Did you know home owners insurance alone doesn't cover flood damage? Did you know certain breeds of dogs aren't covered under a traditional policy, either? I work with the best of the best in the insurance world to ensure your home is covered long after you close.
We Hold Escrow People Before Property means holding your binder (the money you put down when your purchase offer is accepted). Should the sale fall through, the seller could fight to keep that money. Holding your escrow means you have the option to get that money back for free via the state. No lawyers.

OurSellers Pricing your home I will help you price your home according to market analysis. I want your home to sell at the right price for you.
Marketing How do buyers find homes? Online! So where should your home be available when you list it? Online! I am committed to getting your home shown on the most popular home-shopping websites. And depending on your home's individual needs, I have a lot of other tricks up my sleeve to ensure the word is out that your home is on the market.
OurSellers Listing Videos Some homes require special attention. Maybe they're unique, they've been on the market with another agency, or the sellers can't show the home as often as they'd like. I have the capability to create a digital, 2-minute narrated walk-through of your home to give potential buyers a sneak peak without making a physical visit.
Aerial Photography Looking down on a house and into a neighborhood helps buyers see the big picture. Aerial photography offers a unique perspective by showing the full lot as well as proximity to amenities and roads.
OurSellers Professional Photography Every Round Table Realty home listing is professionally photographed and uploaded to the three major online home-browsing websites. A beautiful picture truly can sell a home.
Home Staging The better your home looks, the faster it sells. I have access to incredible home stagers (at affordable prices, too!) who will make your home look elegant, simple, and allow potential buyers to see themselves in it.

"Andrea was the best realtor we’ve ever had! We are definitely using her for our next purchase. She was super helpful in everything from discovering what neighborhood we wanted to be in to putting down an offer and navigating a bidding war. She goes above and beyond her call of duty and is obviously very knowledgeable in this space. She knows the right questions to ask and ways to get the best deal. Hands down she was the best decision we made, highly recommend."
"Andrea provides the highest level of service and greatly exceeded all of our expectations. Her knowledge of the local real estate market, combined with unparalleled work ethic was the advantage we needed. Andrea provided marketing through every avenue you could imagine and sold our home in just over three weeks. Thank you!" "Andrea made buying a home possible for me. Thanks to her negotiating skills, she helped me buy the house of my dreams -- even when I thought it was out of reach. She's thorough, diligent and only has your best interest in mind. She communicates every step of the way, and her knowledge of the market makes the process a whole lot easier for you. If you want a realtor who cares about you, does her due diligence, leaves no stone unturned and ensures all T's are crossed and I's are dotted, then this is the realtor for you. I highly recommend her!"
"If I could give Andrea 100 stars I would. She was the most attentive, tenacious Realtor during my search. She was incredibly responsive and so willing to help me at the drop of a hat. Her personality is amazing and she is so pleasant to be around. I highly recommend Andrea for all your Realtor needs!!!"
