An established partner of Team Fernandez, Andrew Appell is a knowledgeable property expert who merges a prolific background in architectural design with a passion for real estate and marketing. He provides attentive service and comprehensive advice during each step of the buying and selling process, and his sincerity, track record, and down-to-earth professionalism help make clients feel comfortable and looked after. A seasoned veteran in the Brooklyn and Manhattan markets, he is a new development specialist particularly adept in the branding, marketing, and sales of luxury properties. Andrew and TF have also carved out a niche in the townhouse arena, spearheading the design and carrying out the sales of multiple high-end spec homes.
Andrew graduated from the esteemed Pratt Institute with a Master of Architecture. He spent the next several years immersing himself in the field, practicing at renowned New York City-based firms as a designer-project manager. As he gained more exposure to the marketing and trading aspects of real estate, his interest in brokerage sales and individual client service began to grow. Eventually, he decided to transition from preparing assessments and drafting blueprints to creating cohesive brand identities for buildings and guiding buyers through home searches and contract negotiations. What’s more, Andrew specializes in transacting on the very same types of ground up new development properties that he was once in charge of designing and managing.
For the better part of the last decade, Andrew has exclusively represented distinguished new development projects and individual standout listings, striving to give his clients memorable real estate experiences that integrate his credible design insights with deep market knowledge. He is an exceptional communicator, and his sophisticated approach is grounded in his straightforward, no-nonsense sensibilities. At SERHANT., he is excited to further explore his creativity and branding expertise at the convergence of real estate and media.
Andrew is an NYC native whose family has lived in Brooklyn for multiple generations. He was born and raised in Ditmas Park and has lived in a variety of areas in and around the city, namely Clinton Hill, Long Island City, Jersey City, and Sheepshead Bay. Now in Mill Basin with his wife and their two children, he enjoys exploring new parts of the city and spending time with his family. As a proud home cook who fell in love with food at an early age, he is always ready to don his chef hat and prepare elevated comfort food that looks as good as it tastes.
