Mandy Randolph is a natural home matchmaker, taking great satisfaction in connecting people and place on Orcas Island, where she grew up.
Mandy draws on her roots in the community, listens deeply, and works creatively in service to this sea-surrounded isle and those who are drawn here. Born into a family of builders, she grew up admiring homes and acquired a practical understanding of construction and what it takes to modify a house to suit different homeowners.
Touring the island with a native is an experience unto itself, and Mandy is eager to share her broad scope of knowledge and experience. Her dedication to the land and community extends beyond real estate, into the garden and woods as the Farm to Classroom teacher and outdoor education leader at Orcas Island Elementary School.
Known to those around her as a protector of community, nature and childhood. Mandy is fiercely committed to the people, the land and the legacy that makes this island the place we all want to call home.
It is with great gratitude and respect that we describe for you our experience working with Mandy Randolph. We moved to Orcas Island in the Fall of 2018. Being totally embraced by the island’s beauty and people, we soon made plans to find land on which to build our future forever home. Having met Mandy through my work with the school district, we asked for her help in our search for a nice piece of property. Mandy spent quality time and energy with us, in personal conversation as we drove around viewing different lots for sale. Having been born and raised on the island, Mandy is privy to a unique and deep understanding of the history of the different neighbors, properties, and chain of ownerships. She was able to take her expertise as well as what she learned about our dreams for a home and match us up with the perfect, water view lot. With Mandy always filling us in ahead of time with what to expect (be it county or title expectations), we were able to get a very fair price and move through the purchasing process smoothly. Then we found our dream home, already built and waiting for us. Mandy didn’t bat an eye. She got us pending with an offer significantly below asking price. On many occasions Mandy took the time and effort to meet face to face with the selling agent or other experts to hash out details and ensure the deal worked with our needs in mind. Mandy is a genuinely personable person and knows how to use conversation and her intuition to make a deal. As soon as we closed on the house, we needed to sell the water view property. Again, Mandy jumped back on the treadmill and started working for us as sellers. Within 3 weeks we had a cash offer for more than we had purchased the property for just 8 months earlier. In a nutshell, Mandy was able to close three transactions in 9 months for us. Any agent can get lucky with one transaction going smoothly, but three in a row in 9 month’s time? Only a highly skilled, quality person can do that. She did so while she juggling other clients and her own personal life, but as far as we could see, she was only focused on us and our needs. We could not be more satisfied with our experience with Mandy Randolph and especially appreciate that she has become our friend in the process.
Orcas is in good hands to know Mandy as a realtor in service of this place and people. I’m so grateful she helped us find the highly-unique land match that we are stewarding today. She takes her time, heart and soul to find and advise what is earnestly best for each party, one of those folks who feel instantly like an old friend. Drawing on her life-long connections and knowledge of Orcas, she is able to find those magical matches for those in ALL circumstances! Thank you Mandy, for helping us find HOME here.
Mandy is the best! She has extremely valuable information and perspective on the island since she is a native Orcas Islander. She guided my family and I with patience, intelligence, and honesty like no other realtor I’ve ever met. I should know since I, too, have a background in real estate. As I look out at my beautiful view over Eastsound, I am currently typing this testimonial from our dream home that Mandy helped us find and buy. We will always consider ourselves very fortunate for knowing her. We also love the picture she took of us as she gave us our new house keys. She had the image printed on canvas as a gift and it now adorns our hallway wall.
When introducing Mandy Randolph to my family and friends, I often say that she is the reason that we were able to buy a house on Orcas Island. I’m one of the people that knew right away, on first visit, from the East Coast, that I wanted my husband and I to find a way to make Orcas a part of our life, permanently. So right after that first visit I got online and began pursuing that possibility and Mandy, lucky for us, happened to be one of our first contacts. That first visit led to continuing visits, as often as possible, for the next few years, with Mandy as our friend and guide, teaching us about the island while we looked at houses and properties and dreamed. Having grown up on the island before going away to school and returning to raise a family here and become a beloved teacher herself, in addition to being a real estate agent, she was a perfect view-finder to help us find our way and develop our choices about how to make our dream a reality, encouraging us all the way. Then, once when we found our house and began the actual buying process, we also had to go back and do the rest from the East Coast, and once again, thank goodness for Mandy. Thank you Mandy Randolph, we love our house!
Buying and selling a house can be an intimidating venture. It was invaluable to have someone as trustworthy and patient as Mandy at our side. Even when things got sticky or difficult, we always felt like Mandy was in our corner, keeping us calm and informed. It was great to have an agent who taught us so much, but even better to have made a friend that we laughed with just as much.
Mandy Randolph is exceptional. First of all if you want an insider’s view and understanding of the islands, use Mandy as she grew up on Orcas. Her understanding of the market and the pros and cons of where to live on the island are insightful. However, the most valuable and important reason I feel to work with Mandy is her integrity, her kindness, and her professionalism.
We just bought a house on Shaw Island. We had made offers on three other properties with other real estate agents. Mandy was by far the best of everyone we dealt with. She acted as our buyer’s agent and was always prompt with her communications and very customer-oriented. She was very good at helping us settle a couple minor difficulties. If someone asked me to recommend an agent for the islands, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mandy as the best choice.
