    This is now our second transaction with Joel, and we would never do business with anyone else! Since we bought our first house with him 5 years ago, Joel has stayed in touch and has always been my “go-to” with any homeowner questions. This time around we decided to build a new home and Joel has beenthere every step of the way from helping us pick out the lot and signing the contract in June to selling our house in October where he got us under contract over the asking price, all cash, an extended closing period since our new build wasn’t going to be ready until mid-December, and an included lease back so we would have cash available for our closing, but still have time to actually make the move. He was there with us all the way to when we closed on our brand-new house in mid-December. He was impressively involved with every aspect; attending our meetings with the builder, helping us negotiate with the HOA, and helping us get our keys as quickly as possible so we could get contractors in the new house the day we closed. He even helped us wrap up our move with trash and junk disposal! You won’t find a better combination of someone who will be invested in your transaction, who has a supreme work ethic and will be honest in his opinion and tell you exactly what he thinks. I would recommend Joel to family, friends, and strangers alike, this is your guy.

    Selling my house while out of state was worrisome but Joel made this easy, a local expert, hard working and understands the market well. I highly recommend him.

    I worked with Joel to buy my first house and it was a good experience. His communication is clear and timely. He is knowledgeable and his input on the houses we viewed was very reasonable and objective, which I appreciate. He never pressured me to make an offer or rushed me, even as I looked for a couple months.Once I was under contract, he helped with home inspection and septic inspection recommendations, and had a good attorney lined up; everything went smooth. Thanks!

    Working with Joel was a pleasure. He is very professional, knowledgable, and trustworthy. As I was purchasing from out-of-sate, Joel was great in providing me with videos, room dimensional sketches, and his honest input of the pros and cons of properties. Once an offer was made and accepted,Joel followed every step of the purchasing process closely to be sure all stakeholders' needs were met.

    Joel did great at finding houses that meet our needs and was within our budget. He ensured we were able to view homes within our limited time. He did great at walking us through each step and was knowledgeable about the area and resources within the area.

    We are not from the area and bought a townhome to help our adult son during graduate studies at Wake Forest University and to serve as an investment/rental property. I researched realtors throughout the Piedmont Triangle and reached out to several. Joel was the first to get back to us and remained incredibly responsive throughout the process.He met with us virtually and in person for introductory visits. He communicated frequently throughout the entire process even when we were just exploring the possibility and had not yet committed to buy. He had great local knowledge and provided sound advice on locations, neighborhoods, and the pros/cons of various properties. On several occasions, he went above and beyond our expectations, including helping us with referrals for a painter and handyman (including meeting them at the property to arrange estimates)., and sending us a smartlock when the previous owner unexpectedly removed one from the home. Despite being on vacation during our closing, Joel set us up with a colleague to help us for the walk-through and closing process and was in contact with us on closing day even though he was on vacation. If you need a realtor to help with buying a property, we highly recommend Joel Sandman. When we are ready to sell, Joel has our business. First class experience all the way around.

    I've had the opportunity to work with some really great realtors and some really terrible ones. Joel is one of the best! I appreciate his integrity and knowledge, he worked with me to understand my needs and was patient when my initial timeline shifted. I used him as a relocation expert helping guide me through the process when I was out of state.His integrity and knowledge are second to none and I truly appreciate him. Whether you are local or relocating from another state Joel is the realtor you want to help you with the process!

    My Wife and I were recommended to work with Joel by a friend. We were buying our first house and knew nothing about the process. Joel was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was upfront with everything and made it easy to trust him. He helped fill in the gaps of our education on the process and provided lots of useful insight that made the home buying process virtually stress free.He gave us his honest assessment on the properties we were looking at. He's got extensive experience and contacts with all sorts of service providers and contractors that make it easy to understand the true cost of buying and owning any property. He used these contacts to help get us a great deal on our first house. The house needed some work for sure, but he used that in the negotiations to get us a great deal. We've been in the house for a month and all the work that needed to get done is completed using his recommended contractors. They all did great work and had good pricing. Joel got everything done in a timely manner, but the more impressive part was the level of research and detail he put into his work in that timeline. He was friendly, communicated clearly and timely, and was a great negotiator. He did all of this for us while we were working on an aggressive timeline. His main concern in all of this was not making sure we got into a house on our timeline (though he certainly worked very hard to make that happen), but to protect us from a poor purchase. He diligently researched each house we were interested in and what maintenance it would need. He made sure it was going to meet our needs and asked detailed questions upfront to make sure he understood our needs. He had recommendations for everything we needed, from lenders and lawyers to contractors and handymen. We ended up using his recommendations for everything because they were so easy to work with and had the same high standards for excellence that Joel does. The process couldn't have gone smoother and we have Joel to thank for that. I will be recommending him to anyone in the market for a realtor. There isn't anyone in the business better than Joel!

    Joel was a stellar agent and made finding and buying a home a breeze for us. Moving to a new area while still living out-of-state, we were not sure who to use as our local agent. We interviewed several agents as we can be quite picky, but Joel immediately stuck out as knowledgeable, genuine,and someone who was truly going to work for us to find the right home for our family. Joel showed us a number of great options and did a perfect job keeping things organized as we looked at 20+ homes in a few days. Joel was always well prepared for showings, knew specific market information for every home, had a plethora of connections for any harder to answer questions, and thoroughly communicated throughout the process. Despite Joel having many other clients and listings, we always felt like we were a top priority for him. After finding a home we loved, Joel continued his terrific communication and follow-thru all the way through the closing process. We will 100% be using Joel in the future and recommending him to anyone looking for an agent in the area.

    Joel was amazing!! Right from the start he was talking us through everything. He talked us through every step of the process before the procee, and during the process. We were always bugging him about things and he was always very responsive and helpful every time.He would give his advice on the different things that we would have to make decisions on and then back off and let us make the decision. During and after the showings, when an offer would come in, he would promptly give us the offer info and then give us his thoughts on whether he thought it was good or not. Then once all the offers came in he put them all in a spreadsheet with the pros and cons of each one and his notes so we could see everything together to make the best informed decision. Joel was just great to work with!!

    This review is about Joel Sandman: Joel has been exceptionally professional and enjoyable to work with on the several properties that my husband and I purchased in the last year, all in the Winston Salem Triad area. Joel listened carefully to us about what kind of properties we wanted to view and ultimately purchased.Every time we had our many and varied questions, he promptly got back to us and found out the answers for us. We experienced Joel to be scrupulously honest, knowledgeable, and quite detail oriented - all traits that are very important in the real estate industry. We have been thoroughly pleased with Joel's work ethic and pleasant personality. We can state definitively that our experiences with Joel have been, without question, our best real estate buying experiences in our lives in the last 50 years! If we could have given him more stars, we would have gladly done so!!! Thank you for everything Joel!!!

    Joel was very instrumental in helping me securing my ideal home in today's competitive market. He helped me make sure it was a sound home with no hidden issues, had experience with the seller's agent so I could be trusted as a buyer and helped me come up with a competitive offer that would be attractivefor the seller but also not put me in an uncomfortable position financially.

    He went above and beyond for my husband and I. We could not be happier with our new home thanks to Joel. We are first time home buyers and decided to go under contract with a new build. Joel was patient, respectful, and always went up to bat for us. Did I mention I was pregnant the entire time?If you can handle a pregnant lady through this process the way Joel did, you deserve a medal!

He allowed us to work on our own timeline and made himself available whenever we were ready to make an offer. I would definitely recommend him withoutreservation.

    Joel is personable and unassuming, in addition to highly knowledgeable and service oriented. He has established an extensive network of skillful service providers who can assist a homeowner across the sales process. Joel introduced me to (and coordinated the work with)a staging company (which handled the organization and presentation of my entire 4,000 square feet home), a locally-based moving and storage company, a multi-talented handyman for a wide range of touch ups, and others who were indispensable to this 66 year old single man's ability to ready his 15 year old house for sale. And, he was always just a text or phone call away when I had a question about anything, and always polite, even when my questions were about things most homeowners would know on their own. Beyond all of that, Joel is a remarkable human being -- thoughtful, empathetic and generous. He inspires respect and confidence, which breeds comfort across a complex process. I enjoyed working with him, and I could not be more pleased with the job he did for me.

    In Joel's title he is described as a Real Estate Professional. Never have truer words being used. My wife and I have been in the real estate business for almost 12 years now and this is the first review that we are leaving. We met Joel through a Meadowlands Golf advertisement page on Facebook and he reached out asking if we may be interested in buying property.From that moment, everything has been amazing. Joel was very patient through the process; he showed us many a house and despite having done this on numerous occasions, he read us as buyers. Joel was not in the business for a quick commission in this real estate market, he was here to establish a relationship and friendship. He is incredibly knowledgeable from house structure to identifying property that might be aesthetically pleasing for the buyer. He negotiated very well and is even sending out a handyman, at his own expense, to address any minor problems that we have in the new house. All in all, if you want a genuine realtor, one that knows the process and one that is in it for the long haul, Joel Sandman is one of the best in the business!

We could not recommend Joel enough!

    Joel is the ultimate professional. He helped sell my home and helped me purchase a new home. We all hear the phrase "communication is key" and Joel embodies this. He is always on top of anything and everything during the transaction. He lets you know what to expect,what is coming down the pipeline and any issues he thinks may come up. And he is spot on with all of it. Not only is he great at what he does on the business side of things, but he actually looks out for his clients' best interests, and not just his own paycheck. Joel wants the right house for you, not the house that can get him a few extra dollars on his commission. Throughout this whole process, we have become more than just realtor and client, but also good friends. If you're looking for a realtor who is altruistic, will fight for you, and look out for you, Joel is the realtor you need to use.

He constantly kept us up to date via text, e-mail, phone calls, & person interaction.He made the sell of our house very easy and stress free for us-he truly took care of everything. He coordinated the sell of our home with the purchase of our new home by keeping all involved up to date by reaching out to them frequently. We would highly recommend Joel!!

    Joel was the best realtor we ever worked with, hands down. He was always available for us, day or night. He's very personable and easy to talk to about what your needs and wants are. He handled all of the after sale requirements we had, closing, all inspections, repairs even helped with the banking issues we had.He did a great job with presenting our home for sale, the photographer he used did a wonderful job as well. I would recommend Joel to everyone looking to buy or sell.

    My husband and I have used Joel twice now for both the home buying and selling process and we couldn’t recommend him enough! You can rest easy knowing he’s going to be 100% on top of every detail and be as thorough as I think any realtor can. He’s not only super knowledgeable about the housing market/trends but also about home structure and quality as well.He most recently helped us buy a piece of farm property and as a previous farm owner himself, he was an essential resource in navigating the dos and donts in that arena, not only the residential ones. Don’t sleep on this guy!

    I sold my property in Greensboro last year and due to Covid we are unable to fly to NC to close the transaction. Joel helps us follow up and close the whole deal smoothly. If you are seeking a real estate agent to sell your home (I am sure he is also great at helping you find a home),you could not do any better than hiring Joel. He was super proactive and kept tabs on everything that was important. He always follows through, he is quick to reply (phone, text message and email), he is transparent and honest, and you can fully rely on him to get the job done right.

    About 9 months ago, I started the home buying process as a first time home buyer. I knew absolutely nothing about the process other than what I’d grasped from friends and YouTube videos. From the minute I reached out to him, Joel was patient, attentive and excited about getting me on the path to choosing my perfect home.No matter how basic my question or how many times I needed clarification, Joel was right there EVERY.SINGLE.TIME. for me. To add to the excitement of being a first time homeowner, I also chose a new construction home. This could have been overwhelming but Joel kept me in the loop, giving me multiple weekly updates as construction progressed. I can’t speak more highly of him and his professionalism. Save yourself headache during the home buying process and reach out to Joel! You won’t be disappointed.. you will probably gain a really cool friend too. ??

    We really appreciate Joel’s knowledge and expertise to guide us through the home selling process. We are currently living abroad and his communication skills were perfect. He had our home sold in less than 2 days on the market with multiple offers to choose from.This wouldn’t have been possible without his footwork of professional pictures of our home and drone footage to get the buzz going. Furthermore, he is knowledgeable of price points and we received more than our asking price. His assistance made our home selling process almost too easy and we grateful. If you are looking for someone to sell your home, he’s your guy.
