We met Brendan when he was the seller?s agent on a lot we looked at. It wasn?t the right property for us, but Brendan had been so helpful that we asked him to be our buyer?s agent on another lot. Even though we were only looking to buy a small piece of land, Brendan treated us like we were buying a million-dollar house. He did quite a bit of research into the ownership and easement rights of an old water well that was on a lot we were considering. Then when we found the right property for us, Brendan walked us through each step of the purchasing process, cheerfully answering our many questions. We plan to hire Brendan again when it?s time to sell our home to build on the lot we just purchased, and definitely recommend him and his staff to anyone looking for a real estate agent in the greater Austin area.

Brendan is so wonderful! We met him by chance at a open house, and he welcomed us into real estate with open arms Our experience with him has been extremely positive, from his helpful guides, to his checkups, to his overall character, it's been great to know a realtor like Brendan!

When we first met with Brendan we could immediately tell that real estate is his PASSION. He thrives in this career and he is fantastic at his job. The whole process was great. He is no-nonsense and gets to the point. He will tell you what you need to know and what you need to do, while always emphasizing that ?it?s your journey?. He did not pressure us to do anything, but recommended some updates that we elected to complete. He knows what he is doing?at the end of the day, when we listed our house, we were able to say we had done ALL THE THINGS (paint, landscaping, staging, glad plug-ins, etc). And it worked! Brendan has been doing this for a long time in Austin and has lots of connections within the industry. He is amazing we could not be more appreciative. I would recommend him to anyone looking to sell their home.

First time Texas home buyer here. Ive only been in Texas for about 4 years, and during those 4 years I didnt think to research the difference of buying a home here in Austin compared to my hometown Cincinnati. Theres a lot of differences to consider! Every step of the way, Brendan and his team was there to provide the support and education that I needed. To have a realtor that will invest the time it takes to educate their clients, so everyone is making thoughtful decisions during the entire process, seems rare in the market that weve had over the last few years. Shi-Shi made looking at properties enjoyable, and Samantha made the contracting period a breeze. After the sale was complete, Brendans team still continued to help with as many small details as possible to help getting settled into my new home as seamless as possible. I highly recommend Brendan and his team.

We stopped at an open-house to check the house out. That is where we met Brendan. From the moment I met him I knew he would be the best fit for us to begin the journey. Brendan is so knowledgeable about the process which was a key factor and additionally his personality! Process can be long and arduous but Brendan kept it going. I have to brag on his team and the Loan People group. This was the best experience overall with all of them! I know there was much work behind the scenes each and every day, but the train stayed on the tracks! We found a house and closed 3 and 1/2 weeks later. Wow! They are all engaged and energetic to say the least and will go beyond!!

Im so happy to write this review of Brendan Sanford and his team! We met Brendan at an open house that we stopped by on a whim one afternoon. We had an immediate rapport with him and felt like he was very knowledgeable about the ever-changing real estate market of the last 2-3 years. We were in the market for a resale home with some specific requests with a wide-open timeframe so we decided to engage with Brendan to see what he could do. The first meeting was an educational sessional that provided a wealth of information, introduced his team, and set expectations for both sides. From that point through to the closing on our perfect home, we felt like Brendan and his team had our back! They found homes for us to look at, took our feedback on those showings, and further refined our search. When we did find our dream home, Brendan worked hard negotiating on our behalf to get us the best possible deal. He and his team kept us on track with tasks we needed to accomplish and so we didnt lose any time. We received regular updates during the process and never felt uninformed. Our closing was less than 4 weeks from the day we first saw the property and it was an amazing experience. Brendan knows real estate. He has built an amazing team in Shi-Shi & Samantha who are both a joy to work with. He also has a carefully curated referral network of companies like mortgage, home warranty etc. Even the referred companies provided us with terrific service! (Ill be writing reviews for days!) I highly recommend anyone in need of a real estate agent contact Brendan Sanford; you wont be disappointed!

Heres what makes Brendan better than other realtors: 1 - His educational 1:1 Home Buyer class was extremely helpful, especially for first time home buyers. 2- During the home viewings, his team was also looking for red flags that I never would have caught. They have a whole list they go through for every home (other realtors just open the door). 3- Samantha and Brendan provided status updates, contacted the builder and gave recommendations proactively during my 8 month build. 4- He stood up to the builder and was able to get things done and always wanted to ensure I was very well taken care of. 5- In key moments of the process, Brendan would call proactively and explain the process and when I was in a panic, his insight kept me cool. 6 - Even when some of my questions may have seemed unreasonable, he had an open mind and said it never hurts to ask. 7 - After closing, Brendan had an informative list of next steps to ensure nothing falls through. Other realtors just come to pickup their check. I have worked with several real estate agents in my life, but Brendan is a true professional and master in his field. He was diligent and insightful and always on my side. This is the guy who will be in your corner from start to finish and even after closing. I highly recommend.

We first began working with Brendan in February of 2020, 2 weeks before the Pandemic shut the world down. We attended one of his First Time Home Buyer Classes. Very informative and helpful! We decided that night that we were ready to begin our search. Unfortunately, the Pandemic had other plans. After a grueling 6 months we had to put things on pause. Brendan was not only very understanding, but very encouraging as well, telling us to not give up and to be creative at navigating the new rules the Pandemic was forcing us all to live by. It was hard, but we took the long road to get to our home. Fast forward to 2 years later, my partner re-teamed with Brendan, and they scoured the area for just the right home. Within a month, we had found it. Brendan and his team walked right beside us the whole way, from touring homes, to getting a mortgage setup, through the inspection process, and finally through the closing process. He and his team never waivered and got us to the finish line in 3 weeks! I, being a First Timer was terrified. But Brendan's calmness and confidence made it not only bearable but exciting. I finally felt like, "This is going to happen!" I'm beyond grateful to Brendan and his wonderful team for all of their hard work on our behalf. I would recommend them in a second! And if the time comes to pick up and head elsewhere, I'll DEFINITELY be working with them once more.

Brendan is an outstanding agent to work with in the Austin Area. He is a skilled listener and dedicated with very in-depth knowledge of the local markets. My husband and I are thinking on moving to Austin from Fort Lauderdale. At no point in those months did his dedication change when he diligently made an agenda for our look in Austin. He was just as committed and excited about helping us throughout the process.. Without hesitation we would seek him out immediately for any upcoming real estate transaction in the future.
