About Andrea Ruport

Andrea Ruport is the kind of real estate agent people instantly feel comfortable with — genuine, approachable, knowledgeable, and deeply invested in helping others. As the founder and Team Lead of the Andrea Ruport Team at Compass, Andrea has built her business around relationships, trust, and advocacy. She believes buying or selling a home is never just a transaction. It is often one of the biggest emotional and financial decisions people will make, and she considers it a privilege to guide her clients through that process with honesty, strategy, and care.

A longtime Bay Area resident who has called Alameda home for over two decades, Andrea is deeply connected to the community she serves. She knows the neighborhoods, the schools, the hidden gems, and most importantly, the people. A natural connector, Andrea has a gift for bringing the right people, opportunities, and resources together. Her clients often say she makes them feel like they are her only client because of how available, responsive, and invested she is throughout the process.

Andrea is known for her calm confidence and ability to see every angle of a situation. Whether navigating a competitive negotiation, uncovering off-market opportunities, or helping clients make smart financial decisions, she approaches every challenge with creativity, resourcefulness, and a solutions-oriented mindset. She listens carefully to her clients’ goals and priorities and believes clear communication is the foundation of every successful relationship.

What truly sets Andrea apart is how much she genuinely cares about people. She remembers the small details — the way someone wants their kitchen to feel, the importance of a walkable neighborhood, the dream of hosting family holidays, or the need for a quiet backyard after a long day. She understands that homes are deeply personal, and she works hard to help her clients find not just the right house, but the right fit for their lives.

Real estate is also the perfect outlet for Andrea’s love of creativity and design. She is passionate about staging, renovations, marketing, and helping clients see the potential in a home. Financially savvy and highly detail-oriented, she combines strong market knowledge with intuition, negotiation skills, and a deep understanding of value.

Outside of work, Andrea is adventurous, active, and family-centered. She has been married for nearly 25 years and raised four children in Alameda. She loves the outdoors, traveling, hiking, biking, sunsets by the water, and creating meaningful experiences with family and friends. Whether she is helping a first-time buyer, guiding a family into their next chapter, or supporting longtime homeowners through a major transition, Andrea leads with empathy, integrity, and heart.

At the end of the day, Andrea’s goal is simple: to help people feel supported, empowered, and excited about what comes next.
