Originally a real estate lawyer, Andrew’s 40 years of real estate experience makes him uniquely able to tackle any real estate problem. From legal expertise, to escrow and title specifics, to brokerage, Andrew has done it all and he loves doing it, for his clients and his team.
Before starting the Oldham Group, Andrew had a long career as a real estate litigator, and real estate entrepreneur. After passing the bar, his real estate law career took off and he spent years in escrow litigation as a freelancer and salaried lawyer. In the nineties, Andrew founded a real estate company called eHome. eHome took advantage of burgeoning internet technology, and found a home for real estate there. They raised 30 million in capital and were the first to make the MLS searchable for clients, not just agents, and expanded to three states.

I worked with James Laden Twice, As I initially wanted to sell my house in late 2022 but changed my mind. and James stood beside me understanding my concerns . James Laden has exceeded my expectations twice by now First as my listing agent 4 months ago He sold my home for over asking price in just THREE days in my subdivision AND I was out of state and he handled everything for me Seamlessly. Including, taking care of my house with painters and contractors that got the house ready for sale. Now I've moved to Tennessee and needed a very attentive agent to have excellent detail and communication. He found the perfect buyers/multiple offers for me to decide (with many competing offers) in 3 days. He also got a closing in 26 days Again, miraculous in this market He has even provided references for excellent contractors to remodel the home in a reasonable timeframe The most amazing thing about James is that he cares. He was very genuine, He truly cared about my first home. It doesn't matter to him if you are a buyer or seller or if you are a $200k buyer or a million dollar buyer. You are treated exactly the same. I'm so grateful for him. I believe he has realtor superpowers and the heart of a giant. You cannot go wrong with James Laden and that million dollar smile
SELLER
James is a fantastic Realtor who helped us find our new home in a dream area. We never thought that we would be able to get into a prestigious area in the Bay Area but James brought all of our goals to life, even meeting our budgetary goals. He was industry savvy at knowing all of the various areas in the Bay Area, connected to the real estate industry in such a way that he could recommend properties for us that suited our taste, and was always professional as well as easy to work with throughout the entire process Likewise, he sold our original home overnight and for significantly higher than our asking price We would highly recommend James and his services for purchasing a new home - he made our dream into a reality
SELLER AND BUYER
Jen and Andrew have beyond exceeded our expectations. They were patient with us through a long search process, provided a consultative approach along the way, set realistic expectations without letting us overpay and were never just here to sell us any house. When it came time to sell our home the team of people they work with to prep, the marketing support and the frequency of updates keeping us in the loop has once again been over the top. We could not be happier to be working with them, will 100% be referring our friends and colleagues and will without question use them again in the future.

One Unified Dashboard to Streamline Your Sale
Assess
Using Collections and Comparative Market Analysis, we can start by tracking market trends, pricing, and available inventory for homes that are similar to yours.
Strategize
By launching your listing not once, but three times with our 3-Phased Marketing Strategy, you can test your pricing strategy, generate early demand, and attract the strongest offers.
Analyze
With Insights, gain a more complete picture of traffic and engagement with your listing. Plus, the Reverse Prospecting tool lets us track how often your listing is liked or shared by clients working with Compass buyer agents, helping us focus on the most serious buyers.
Sell

Maximize your home’s value with the Compass 3-Phased Marketing Strategy
PHASE 1 / LAUNCH AS A COMPASS PRIVATE EXCLUSIVE
Validate Pricing
Unlike traditional brokerages that immediately launch your listing to the public exposing it to negative metrics like days on market and price drop history Compass gives you a strategic head start We showcase your home to a private audience first, allowing us to gather honest feedback on pricing with time to make adjustments before going public
PHASE 2 / LAUNCH AS A COMPASS COMING SOON
Generate Early Demand
Publicly launch your property as a Compass Coming Soon exclusively on Compass.com. This allows you to build buyer anticipation and interest, while staying protected from days on market and price drop history
Showcase your home to our nationwide network of top agents and their serious clients.
Begin to generate buyer interest without risking public days on market or price drops that impact your home's value
You may secure a buyer willing to pay a premium for certainty and a less stressful transaction
PHASE 3 / LAUNCH ON ALL PUBLIC WEBSITES
Sell Better
Go live on all public websites with the right price and maximum demand gained by pre-marketing
Receive key engagement insights on how agents and their buyers are interacting with your listing – data that is lost once it goes live on other public websites.
Ensure all inquiries come directly to me rather than other agents who may prioritize their own listings and are unfamiliar with your home Plus, listing as a Coming Soon on our website can help boost your ranking on Google
During this phase, you have greater control over your data, as photos of your home and personal information do not stay on the Internet
Backed by a validated pricing strategy and early buyer demand, your home is positioned for an efficient, lucrative sale delivering the best possible outcome when it goes live on all public websites

A letter from Compass CEO Robert Reffkin
Thank you for considering Compass to guide you through your home sale. At Compass, we ’ ve built the #1 real estate brokerage by sales volume in the United States and within 10-years of launching our first sale on Compass com, our agents have achieved over $1 trillion in sales volume We’ve accomplished this by helping homeowners like you protect and maximize the value of your most important asset – your home.
Compass has developed a 3-Phased Marketing Strategy, drawing on best practices from real estate developers, professional home builders, and luxury marketers to create demand, build momentum, and ensure your home is best-positioned for success.
This phased marketing strategy can be far more effective than a single public launch.

The Power of Photography
Beautiful photography is one of the most powerful tools for selling your home. Compass uses bestin-class photographers to show your home in its best light, make a positive first impression, and attract more buyers.
Pricing Your Property to Maximize Buyer Activity
Timing of Buyer Activity
A property receives the most traffic within the first few weeks of hitting the market. It is important to get the price right in order to gain the attention of interested buyers and maximize your home's position in the market.
Attracting Buyers Using Competitive Pricing
Using competitive analysis, market research, and Compass’ suite of AI-powered tools, we recommend a price for your property to generate the most activity and offers early on before buyers move on to newer listings.
Compass Off-Markets Lead the Way
Exclusive Access to California’s Hidden High-End Real Estate
By definition, the promotion of off-market listings is restricted to distribution within the listing’s brokerage.* Compass offers a unique advantage to our agents through Compass Private Exclusives. This special feature grants them access to off-market listings and enables them to share them with a network of 7,900+ California agents. This broadens the accessibility of luxury Private Exclusives to a larger pool of clients compared to other brokerages that are limited in size and regional breadth.
San Mateo & Santa Clara Counties: The Luxury Market Share Standard
Compass dominates the luxury market in San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties, outpacing the competition by a significant margin in the sale of homes priced above $5M.**
