TESTIMONIALS

"I highly recommend Brendan and his team. I am so grateful to them. This was an emotional experience for me since I was selling my late father’s home and had absolutely no idea what I was doing. Brendan was recommended to me as a top realtor in Austin and I can definitely attest to that.
From the onset, his data-driven knowledge was incredibly helpful to me since I’d never bought or sold a home before, and the process seemed daunting. His regular Tuesday updates were informative, detail-oriented, and helped give me peace of mind that everything was being taken care of.
He was a great communic… Read Moreator and helped take over the entire process of clearing out the house, getting it prepared to be put on the market, and advising me on the best decisions to make to get the house sold in as stress-free a manner as possible." Read Less

"Brendan Sanford's husband contacted me after I posted on an Austin, TX message board on Facebook. I was thrilled that a "Top 1%" realtor, in his own words, reached out to me, and I opted to work with him. Everything was cordial and I even used his acquaintances in San Antonio to sell my home. Everything worked well until I was put into a "folder," in Brendan's own words. I inquired about homes and the possibility of placing a contingent offer, yet I had to frequently reach out to the seller's agents myself, as Brendan often mentioned that I was in this "folder" and he could not help me. It is … Read Morepure speculation; however, I believe that he was holding back the sale of my home, as we heard from another agent that there was an offer on our home, but his acquaintances didn't relay this to us. Also, a contingent offer we put on a house in Austin, TX, received two other offers after sitting dormant on the market for months after we bid on it. Whether or not this was the Sanford team's doing, we felt uneasy about doing business with Brendan's team. We eventually fired Brendan for his lack of help and obvious racial bias. I would recommend looking elsewhere if you are not in the top 1% as it seems that is all Brendan caters to." Read Less

"Brendan is definitely a top realtor in Austin! We recently tried to sell our home with another Keller Williams realtor and after making little progress all summer, the broker recommended three new realtors and we chose Brendan for his data driven approachn knowledge of the market, and clear communication style. He kept us informed with what we needed to know, kept the process low stress, and sold our home within the timeline we requested! He and his team are incredibly professional, courteous, and efficient. If you want to sell your property efficiently, this team should be your first choice!"

"We had an absolutely fantastic experience working with Brendan and his team (Mia and Devin included!) to sell our home. This was our very first time selling, and from start to finish they made the process so much less intimidating than we expected. The whole team is professional, detail-oriented, and just so supportive!
Brendan’s weekly check-ins (his Tuesday update emails) were so helpful; they made it easy to see the trends and understand what was happening in the market. He doesn’t just bring years of unquestionable real estate expertise - he always provides data when you have questions! A… Read Mores savvy as he truly is with his experience, it’s so reassuring that he supported us with numbers and made excellent recommendations. And he does all of this while feeling like a genuine friend who truly wants the best for you!
This market is absolutely crazy, but Brendan never pressured us to do one thing or another. Instead, he always supported us while sharing insights about market conditions, guiding us thoughtfully and giving us the confidence to make our own smart decisions. We’re so blessed and grateful to have sold in this crazy market!
Even after closing, his excellent checklist of post-sale items showed just how thorough and prepared he and his team is. It helped us tie up some loose ends with a very practical “to-do” list (honestly the whole experience felt like this!) He is super detail-oriented, able to communicate clearly (even to someone like me who doesn’t know all the technical terms), and he/the team always made it understandable. So many times in this stressful process, Brendan came through and made it as painless as possible, & I genuinely thought to myself, “Wow no wonder he’s the top 1% in Austin!”
If you’re looking to buy or sell in the area, I would 100% highly recommend Brendan and his team. Thank y’all, you were awesome!!" Read Less

"A fantastic referral partner. I sent him a home seller last year who was terrified they would lose their shirts when they sold due to the shifting market in Austin. Brendan and his team got them under contract in less than two weeks when the average was like 2 months on market and with a price that made my clients INCREDIBLY happy. Steady, professional, and knowledgeable. Definite recommend!"

"Brendan and the Sanford Realty team were exceptional throughout the entire selling process. From the beginning, we were drawn to their data-driven approach and transparent communication—qualities that truly set them apart during our search for a realtor.

Once onboard, Brendan and his team provided us with valuable insights into the market, helped identify features in our home that could be enhanced, and guided us through preparing it for sale.

"Wow, Brendan provided a truly white glove experience from start to finish when selling our home. His knowledge of the Austin real estate market, especially given how much it’s shifted this year, was truly invaluable. He was professional, polished, and handled everything with care.
