EDUCATION – Andy studied at the University of North Florida in the late 1980s where he was on UNF's inaugural college baseball team in 1988. He graduated from UNF in 1989 with a BBA degree in Real Estate and Urban Development. While still finishing his degree, Andy was already active in the Jacksonville Real Estate Market as an intern with CBRE Commercial Real Estate, the global leader in real estate services and investments.

EARLY CAREER – After graduation, Andy continued his work with CBRE where his responsibilities included gathering commercial real estate data on emerging and existing office space in Downtown Jacksonville and surrounding suburban areas. The data collected was used to help CBRE produce local publications on trending and emerging markets, as well as to assist sales agents in securing tenant renewals, representation, and sales opportunities.

In February of 1991, Andy began working with the Cantrell Weaver Company as a sales representative where he specialized in office leasing and sales throughout the greater Jacksonville area. While at Cantrell Weaver he also worked with negotiating existing lease renewals and new tenant representation.

Five months later, in July of 1991, Andy began working in residential real appraisal at T.F. Petit & Associates. The company's president, Ted Petit, Sr., who founded the firm in 1972, had a deep knowledge of Jacksonville area real estate appraisal and became Andy's mentor (and later father-in-law). In addition to responsibilities with appraising property for company held clients (primarily in Duval, Clay, and St. Johns Counties,) Andy also worked closely with Mr. Petit in preparing VA and FHA Appraisal assignments and became an FHA Certified Appraiser in 1996. In 2001 Andy and two other employees bought the business and formed the partnership of Petit Jones Ebert, Inc.
