Born and raised in Europe, Andreas spent his early adulthood in South America. He later moved to New York where he worked for several F500 companies including IBM and Oracle. As a sales executive, he became a strong believer in relationship building and client satisfaction as the cornerstones of success. He brought those convictions with him when he relocated to Asheville, NC in 2016 to be near his children and become a Realtor®. His knowledge of sales and marketing and his negotiating skills made him a perfect real estate partner for home Buyers and Sellers. He speaks English, Spanish and German, has a very approachable personality, and his clients describe him as "unrelenting in the pursuit of their goals". He is creative, organized, a proactive thinker, and credited with a great sense of humor. As a member of the National Association of Realtors (NAR), he carries the NAR's Luxury Homes (LHC) and Real Estate Negotiation Expert (RENE) certifications.
Stellar customer service backed by clear communication, extensive knowledge, trust, and follow through are the hallmarks of my professional approach. From my first job working at Disneyland to becoming a chef right out of culinary school to a career as a Country Club Manager, before moving into real estate, I’m equally flexible and adaptable to the needs of my clients.
My interest in real estate was piqued by my work in the golf and country club business, moving from a golf professional to general manager. With a focus on real estate investors and relocation buyers, I’m interested in helping my clients build generational wealth as well as assisting people that are moving into the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina.
I value the importance of communication including listening more than talking, taking time to understand my clients and their goals to ensure they have the best experience every time.
What Andreas' clients said
We would work with Andreas again in a second!
Andreas really went above and beyond with our complicated purchase. He thought of the extra elements that could make us attractive buyers in a very competitive market. When our purchase required additional negotiations, Andreas helped us get on track with a new mortgage broker. He's very conscientious and an excellent communicator. We truly feel we were lucky to have him in our corner, and recommend him without reservation.
by John Harrison
We recently bought our house with Andreas’ help and it was a remarkable experience: From the first showing to under-contract in less than 24 hours! He was fast, professional, and at all times much in tune with our needs. Highly recommended!
by Dan & Terri Schulze
As out of state buyers we were completely impressed with Andreas’ professionalism and knowledge of the local real estate market. He did not disappoint!
by Dawn & Tim Anderson
After listing exclusively with Andreas, our property was under contract in less than 30 days! Andreas’ extensive experience as an ex NYC sales and marketing executive proved invaluable when it came to providing the right kind of exposure for a property like ours in the upper price range. He was very proactive reaching out to his own network of buyers and investors in the NE, and to targeted buyers across the US. It paid off, and we definitely recommend him, especially to sellers with high-end properties. Andreas is thorough and professional. He also has a great sense of humor.
by Trish & Brian Mahoney
Andreas is absolute the best! He hit it out of the ballpark for my family in selling our home. His connections are vast and super helpful. He has a sharp eye for quality and a bargain. He can see through it all to find the beautiful lines, nooks and crannies, and unique features of your home. He showed us how to add some simple features that brought more buyers to see our home. He is simply the best, we were thrilled! A year later, we are still singing his praises. Completely trustworthy and hard-working, a dedicated professional who is determined to get the best result possible for his clients. We loved that he told us the real deal from the start. Accessible and very open to thinking things through. A skilled negotiator. He will get the job done, a real class act. Highly recommend!
by Melissa & Michael Hill
From our first meeting till our first closing Andreas was easy to work with, happy to help and most importantly he listened to what we needed and what we wanted as a family, in our home search in Asheville 3 words to describe Andreas are Professional, prompt and helpful.
by Ralph & Buffy Pagano
We can not say enough good things about Andreas. He made buying our house stress free and fun. He guided us through all the complicated issues homebuyers face in a personable and highly professional manner. He's the best real estate agent we have
ever worked with.
by Robert & Shiiko Alexander
Over the many years we have bought and sold many properties with the help of realtors. Andreas has been one of the very best. He is knowledgeable of the real estate in the area that we are interested in. He only showed us homes that fit our wants and needs, not wasting time with those that would not fit us. When we found our home he was very good at negotiating the deal
and setting up the closing. We would highly recommend him as your realtor.
by Richard & Roberta Kidd
Andreas was there when we needed him! Whether we were at our Florida home or our Park City, UT condo, he was in daily communication with us. He kept us informed of each step of the process of discovering available listings, fitting them to our wants/needs, setting up appts for visiting each property, and organizing the route we needed to follow and the timetable. He personally accompanied us on a property tour/circuit of nearly 200 miles in Western North Carolina. When the time came for closing on our new Asheville, NC home, he carefully took us through the different steps of a 1031 Exchange transaction and made sure we adhered to the mandatory requirements. I can only give Andreas Tross my highest rating for those interested in locating, viewing and purchasing a North Carolina property!
by Fred & Sharon Clarkson
Will definitely use and recommend Andreas for future work.
by Bruce J Stratt
“It was a happy accident that Andreas was answering the phone on my initial inquiry to a property in NC. We did not pursue as it could not meet our requirement of a fence on the property. Months later, he checked in with us to see if we were still interested in the area. We were busy recovering from the devastating hurricane and did not resume our search until recently. Often it is difficult working remotely to find a property in another state. We had specific things we were looking for in the Asheville area and Andreas took all that to heart. We received daily updates on available properties. We finally narrowed our search to 21 properties. When we made our trip to the area, Andreas had arranged very neatly to view 18 properties in two days! We found the property on which to make an offer and he followed up on all the issues needed to close, keeping us posted daily. All this done while we were home in Florida. So ---you too can do your shopping from afar and know that you are in terrific hands. And also, all the other wonderful things you can say when working with someone as nice and professional as he is! Don't hesitate to call him”

What Coty's clients had to say
As far as I am concerned, Coty Jude was the best realtor I have ever dealt with compared with other realtors over the years! He gave his best working with me while I had been anxious and nervous. What more can I say? I would hire him again as my realtor!
by Alexia Bond
Working with Coty to find our mountain cabin was great. He listened to what we were looking for and brought us the perfect spot. He was always flexible with his time and responsive.
by Robert Spencer
Coty is amazing. We had not bought a house for over 40 years, and there was so much difference in the process, but Coty guided us through it all. He was always available to show us a listing, sometimes at the last minute. We found our house and just closed on it, again Coty made sure it went smoothly. If there was a rating of 10 he would get it.
by Nancy Kelly
Coty worked for over a year to find the right home for us. He was unfailingly patient and responsive. He handled all the negotiations for the purchase of our new home and quickly resolved any issues that came up. He has continued to help us find service people even after the closing. On top of all that, he is just a pleasure to work with! I highly recommend Coty.
