When you're buying or selling a home, you want someone in your corner who has performed under pressure, made high-stakes decisions with incomplete information, and delivered results on deadline. That's exactly what I bring to every transaction.
I'm Andy Elliott, a Realtor with Xcellence Realty serving Tallahassee and the surrounding areas. My 20-year military career — 11 years active duty as a Navy pilot and officer, followed by 9 years in the reserves — gave me a toolkit that translates directly to real estate: sharp analytical skills, disciplined follow-through, and a negotiator's instinct earned in genuinely high-stakes environments.
During my reserve years, I managed every aspect of a shared-use airport — construction, ground services, safety, long-range planning, and daily operations. Keeping flights moving through runway closures, international disputes, and competing military and civilian priorities on a single runway sharpened the same negotiation and problem-solving skills I use to protect your interests in a competitive market. Deals rarely go perfectly smoothly; my job is to make sure complications don't become setbacks.
My analytical foundation runs deep: an Ocean Engineering degree from the U.S. Naval Academy, an MBA from the Naval Postgraduate School, and years of making data-driven decisions where the margin for error was zero. That same precision now goes into every pricing analysis, contract review, and market evaluation I do for clients.
Buying? I'll help you understand exactly what a property is worth, what risks to watch for, and how to negotiate from a position of strength — so you don't leave money on the table or walk into a bad deal.
Selling? I'll price your home strategically, market it effectively, and manage the process with the kind of operational discipline that keeps transactions on track and closing on time.
I'm a Tennessee native who has proudly called Tallahassee home since 2016, and a father of two who is genuinely invested in this community. My commitment to every client is the same: honest advice, clear communication, and relentless effort to get you the outcome you deserve.
