Andrea Tavella

Providing clients with ultimate bespoke representation, customized marketing strategy, and white-glove service.

Real estate, like golf, is about strategy, patience, and knowing the course better than anyone else.

I grew up with a club in my hand, competing in golf from a young age before life took me in a new direction. Over the past decade, I've built Vella Real Estate into one of South Florida's most trusted boutique brokerages, and somewhere along the way, I found my way back to the fairway. 

Today, golf isn't just a passion, it's a lens through which I serve my clients. I've become Miami's go-to real estate resource for golf community buyers and sellers, with deep expertise in some of the most coveted courses and club communities across South Florida. 

But Miami isn't just a golf town, it's a waterfront city, a luxury destination, and one of the most dynamic real estate markets in the world. From stunning Biscayne Bay estates to sleek Brickell high-rises and private island retreats, I specialize in the full spectrum of South Florida luxury living. Whatever your version of the good life looks like, I know how to find it.

What makes Vella different is simple: you're never just a transaction here. As a boutique brokerage, I work with a select group of clients at a time, which means you get my full attention, my honest counsel, and someone who genuinely cares about where you end up. I know these neighborhoods the way I know a course I've played a hundred times: every fairway, every waterfront view, every hidden gem.

 Let's find your perfect home so you can #livewell.

Five-Star Client Reviews

"Andrea did phenomenal work to help us sell our condo in Bay Harbor Islands. She and her team have the highest level of professionalism. Her consultation and communication was insightful and helpful. She had incredible pictures and video taken for the listing. Andrea then got us above our target sale price in a clear buyers market in late 2023. To add on, she then miraculously found a great new place to lease while we figure out where we want to buy next. I highly recommend Andrea and look forward to working with her again soon."

"I cannot recommend Andrea and the Vella Team highly enough. From the very beginning of the process — selling our home and buying a new one — they were nothing short of extraordinary. Andrea walked us through every step and answered every question. What could have been a stressful experience felt smooth and enjoyable. The sale of our home was handled with expert strategy, and she negotiated a fantastic deal on our new home. If you’re looking for a realtor who will go above and beyond, and deliver results — Andrea is the one. We’re beyond grateful!"

"Andrea was extremely patient and knowledgeable and made herself available to me any time I had doubts or questions. Working full-time while searching for a home would have been nearly impossible without Andrea’s assistance. Andrea would conduct virtual showings for me to save time and slim down potential."

"Used Andrea on our condo purchase in North Bay Village in Miami this past January she was a real buyers agent and saved us $ on our successful bid for a great condo at a great price. She also was very helpful after the transaction in helping us get settled in our new condo. Highly recommend using her as an agent, Andrea is very honest, prompt, and responsive. Will use her again in any future real estate transaction."

"Andrea was highly informative, patient, responsive, and helpful in my home purchase. As a first-time home buyer, she did an excellent job in explaining things and helping me through the negotiating process. Her negotiating tactics were excellent and saved me a good chunk of money on my purchase. I couldn't be happier with my house or my experience with Andrea. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a realtor in the South Florida area."

"Andrea is the consummate professional. I have owned, bought, and sold, condos in NYC, Miami Beach, and most recently in Miami. My only regret is not having Andrea as my realtor before 2021. In addition to her stellar communication skills, market knowledge, and affability, her attention to detail, and keen and timely follow-up with me and the purchaser resulted in a relaxed and calm process. I repeatedly asked myself "Have you felt this way in previous buying or selling scenarios?" The short answer is no. I recommend Andrea as a Realtor® without qualifications. You will not be disappointed."

"I cannot recommend Andrea enough - whether it's working with her directly or asking her for a referral in a different city. When we started our home-buying process in San Francisco, we contacted Andrea because we didn't know where to start. Andrea took the time to interview dozens of realtors in San Francisco and found one perfect for us. The realtor we worked with really hustled but never pushed into something that wasn't right and now we are in escrow for the home of our dreams! We want to thank Andrea for making it all possible, and we hope one day she expands into California so we can work directly with her!"

"A+ service and delivery! We had Andrea work with us to buy a home, being in a different state from where we were buying and during the middle of the pandemic. She was fantastic. Super fast to respond, represented us well, and indeed looked out for our best interest at all times. She secured showings and we did them virtually for months until we found the right place. Being out of state, she handled so much of what we usually would have done should we have been local at the time. She is exactly what you need in a realtor, with great insights about the local market, a great network to help close the deal, and a trustworthy professional that represented our needs and interest. She was quick to respond to every care and need we had. She is genuinely the best Realtor we have ever worked with, and we have bought and sold many other homes."

"Andrea helped me buy my first home! She was with me every step of the way. From going out of her way on a weekend to meet me to see the home to handing me the keys, Andrea was a partner and a professional. I look forward to working with her in the future and I appreciate her incredible knowledge of the market. Thank you, again!"

"All salespersons and in this instance realtors make claims but few walk the walk vs. only talking the talk. When I chose Andrea to sell my condo I did not contemplate what a marvelous experience would follow. She is a great communicator, a strategic thinker, meticulous in her attention to detail and compassionate. This sets her apart from her peers. Could I have asked for more from a realtor? The answer is an emphatic "NO." With the utmost confidence I recommend her without hesitation or qualification."

"A Heartfelt Thank You to Andrea. Finding the right home is more than just a transaction—it's about finding someone who truly understands your vision and walks beside you every step of the way. From the moment we started working together, Andrea didn't just show us houses; she helped us discover our dream home. Andrea's support extended far beyond finding the perfect property. She seamlessly connected us with every contact we needed throughout the buying process—from inspectors to contractors to mortgage loaners to local service providers. Her network and genuine relationships made all the difference. As a first-time homebuyer, we experienced every emotion imaginable—excitement, anxiety, overwhelm, and joy. Andrea managed it all with grace and empathy. She acknowledged our feelings, both personal and professional, and held our hand through every milestone. She kept everything organized, remained incredibly responsive, and never made me feel like just another client. What truly sets Andrea apart is that her commitment didn't end at closing. She continues to check in, offering guidance and support as we navigate homeownership. She understands that buying a home is the beginning of a continuous relationship, and she's always willing to help. If you're looking for a real estate professional who combines expertise with genuine care, who will be your advocate, your guide, and your friend throughout the entire journey, I cannot recommend Andrea highly enough. She doesn't just find you a house; she helps you find your home."

"If I could give her 20/10 I would! Andrea is amazing. She’s super knowledgeable about Miami and surrounding area real estate (and outside Florida too! She gave us a great Colorado referral). She’s helped us through both the buying and selling process. Her advice made sure we got the best offers we could get and kept us calm during some of the stressful periods of real estate transactions. Additionally, her team did fantastic virtual staging photos for the sale of our home. I couldn’t recommend anyone better!"
