Welcome to our Story

Valbona Lavdari and Leonard Ndrecka, a couple from Albanian heritage, with emigration experience in Greece and the U.S., are  motivated by the expression: “The sky is the limit.” Valbona is a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Realty, in the Andover Office. She has adopted the American work ethic and drive to succeed, but she harnesses that energy with a European heart. Valbona is also a public speaker, a published poet, an artist, and a strong community player. As a recipient of the Tribute to Women Award and board member of YWCA, Valbona strongly believes in women's potential to  accomplish greatness. She has served as the Vice President of “The Greater Haverhill Poets”, a non-profit organization with Merrimack Valley Poets. Valbona holds a Bachelor's Degree in English from Salem State University with a concentration in Writing and Art. 

Leonard Ndrecka –With a lot of determination and initiative, Leonard  started as a general contractor in the Remodeling and Restoration Industry in 2002.  He has professionally served  Andover and North Andover's communities for 21 years. Being an expert in his industry for such a long time, he has a great reputation for high skilled quality work, competence, great European taste and perfectionism in detail. His charm, great  communications and modesty make Leonard a great fit for all the communities he's a part of, including his family. Given their background and early years of immigration in the U.S., the couple is very passionate about the non-profit, Habitat for Humanity and the organization's humanitarian cause. Last but not least, Valbona and Leonard  take pride in being great hosts to other European immigrants and Americans alike. They promise to welcome all their guests with tons of fascinating stories that could be anything but boring.
