I am extremely pleased to have chosen the Brandt Group to lead and complete our search for the perfect home and I am happy to say that from my perspective, all their 5 star reviews are legit and well earned.I initially sent through a generic contact request via their Contact Us page and received a reply within a couple hours. We had several phone calls discussing our needs and desires and then I began receiving emails identifying various possibilities in and around our target parameters. We were able to narrow the parameters down to several options we wanted to see in person. We informed Jonathan of when we'd be in town and he set up a tour of 6-8 different homes in 5-6 different country clubs. As we toured each development and each home, he quickly got a feel for exactly what we were looking for and during that first trip, we decided we wanted to move to the Rancho La Quinta CC.From that point onward for the next couple weeks, Jonathan kept us up to speed with RLQ options that were good targets and when he learned there was a new listing coming that he felt was right for us, he arranged with the selling agent to get early access and we did a FaceTime walk-through. As that option looked like a good possibility and at that time, there were several others that were good options too, I scheduled another trip to the desert. Jonathan picked me up at PSP and as Jeff had some spare time, he met us at the first showing and the three of us spent the day touring four homes and having lunch at the RLQ clubhouse.During lunch, we agreed the homes we'd seen that day were not exactly what I was looking for and that we'd keep looking. I then asked if we could go take another look at one of the homes we'd seen on our first visit. I wanted to do that because when we toured it originally, my wife and I agreed it was the perfect home, but priced out of our range. I wanted to take another look to see if it still seemed to be perfect and to consider upping our price range. Jonathan got ahold of the selling agent and they agreed to meet us at the home. We walked through the home and it was as I remembered. I just wasn't sure about the price. Jeff agreed it seemed a bit high and at that point, I asked him to let the selling agent know we loved the home and to let us know when they were ready to get serious about the price.Fast forward two weeks . . . a fair price was negotiated, the seller desired a quick closing due to some family commitments, and we closed on the home in under 14 days from contract acceptance. Through it all, Jeff and Jonathan were calm, professional, down to earth, and extremely responsive and easy to communicate with. They provided an out-of-towner with the insight and information garnered through their 25+ years in the Valley where in fact, Jonathan grew up. They filled me in on the windy vs. calm areas; morning sun vs. afternoon sun; the various mountain views; the expensive power company areas vs. the reasonable power company areas; etc. It was clear they understood and desired to build a relationship and a friendship along with their desire to close on a home. They achieved in all aspects of our relationship.As an out-of-town buyer who was not able to move in at close, they have been invaluable in stopping by the home to check in. When the seller left, they had left 12-15 pieces of furniture in the home due to a misunderstanding with their agent. Once we learned this, Jeff and Jonathan arranged to have the remaining personal property removed and donated.The Brandt Group, and especially what I refer to as the J&J Team exceeded all hopes and expectations and I am happy to call them my first friends in the Valley. I am happy to write this letter with the hope others will believe that all the 5 star reviews are truly legit and well earned.

We were looking to locate back to Palm Desert in an extremely tough aEURoebuyersaEUR? market. We went to a number of agents and looked at many homes for sale. When we retained Jonathan and the Brandt group, they were extremely responsive to our needs. Thankfully we found a house that suited our needs and Jonathan worked diligently to work an agreement with the sellers. If we are ever going to sell or buy a house in the future, we definitely will look to the Brandt Group to represent us. We highly recommend them to anyone who is trying to buy or sell a home.

This is just a short thank you note to Jonathan & Andrea Brandt of the Brandt Group. My daughter introduced me to Andrea, and from that point on Andrea and Jonathan set out to fine me my desert paradise on a golf course. We closed a few weeks ago and I cannot be happier. Being a San Francisco resident, they were my eyes on ground in the desert, when I couldn't visit the properties in person. I feel they are my first of many new friendships to come from Palm Desert living,thanks again,Ron L.

You wrote a review for The Brandt Group A moment ago5.0 star rating4/18/2021Top notch team! We recently had the pleasure of purchasing a home in California from our home in Vancouver, Canada. We put all our trust into Jon and Andrea to help us through every step of the process as well as being our eyes and ears as we were not able to be there in person during these uncertain times. They went above and beyond to help us in every step of our search and purchase.... even went as far as taking home tours while on Facetime and showing us in detail the homes we were interested in. They had an answer for every question we had, and believe me we had a lot of questions! They have been an absolute pleasure to work with and we look forward to one day finally meeting them in person to thank them again!!
