Joel went above and beyond expectations for our first home buying experience. My husband and I were first time home buyers and a little intimidated by the process. Joel really walked us through everything and didn’t just tell us what we should do, but really took the time to understand what we were

I can't say enough good things about having Joel Sandman as our realtor. From day 1 he has been up front and honest about our home, what it's worth, the market etc. He works with you to come up with a plan to sell your house and in our case, sold ours within 2 days of being on the market.

Joel helped my husband and I earlier this year with our real estate needs. We were both so new to the process, so we had tons of questions! Joel was patient and answered everything, and went above and beyond to explain every detail and make sure we were kept in the loop. He is thorough, fast in responding,

Joel did a fantastic job helping us purchase our new home! We couldn’t be happier. He was available to us, calming in moments when we needed to find our serenity and handled all the details for us! We can’t thank him enough or give him more glowing of a recommendation!

My wife and I are first time home buyers, and Joel did an excellent job taking us through the entire process. He was very flexible while we were looking at houses, and always gave us his candid opinion (we saw our fair share of clunkers). Once we found our home he helped us get under contract with four other offers on the table,

Joel helped us through a sale that was unexpectedly complicated and required a lot of interaction with county bureaucracy and inspectors. His assistance during a challenging process was crucial to the sale (and my sanity). In several cases he went way beyond what I expect is the typical real estate

Needed to sell an estate house. We live out if town, so I asked a local,realtor to recommend someone. They were right on. Joel was very professional. He knows his territory and the aspects of getting the best for his clients.. His patience, knowledge, and ability is amazing.

I’ve know Joel for 10 years and trusted him to find my wife and I our first house! We could not have asked for more help throughout the entire process and will definitely use Joel if/when we decide to sell and buy another place many years down the road. If anyone has any questions about real estate,

Joel, did an excellent job in assisting and representing us during our recent home search. He was readily available and prompt in responding to all our communications both verbal and written. This purchase was our 18th house in 11 different states and our experience with Joel was the best!

We couldn't have asked for a better realtor to help us sell our home. Joel was knowledgeable, navigating the ever-changing market and helping us get the best selling price for our house (well-above our asking price!); and he was empathetic as we went through the emotional process of selling our dream house.

We highly recommend Joel. He assisted us with our search and represented us in our purchase. He is very responsive to calls/emails/texts, extremely knowledgeable, and patient. Anyone looking to buy a house can rely on Joel for efficient and effective representation.

Joel was fantastic to work with! He was very attentive and helpful through a less than ideal home purchase and worked with us through all the bumps in the road. Would highly recommend!

Do you want your home sold within a day and above asking? Our experience with Joel Sandman has been nothing short of stellar. Where do I even begin. He deserves accolades far above a rating system. Joel walked us through an extremely tricky sell (due to a building permit snafu - no fault of his).

Joel listened to the type and expense of the homes we were interested in and only refereed those listings to us. After we found a home , he helped us with a reasonable offer to give to the seller. He helped us with allthe paper work that goes with buying a home. Since we lived 250 miles from Winston Salem this was a tremendous help.

Working with Joel has been incredible. We were first time home buyers with no experience. Joel walked us through every single step, was on the ball for EVERYTHING. We had no idea how much went into home buying but Joel Sandman made it easy. Now we’re in a house we love and it’s all thanks to him.

My partner and I could not have asked for a better realtor than Joel to guide us through buying our first home. He was enjoyable to work with, flexible with our schedules, very knowledgeable, and available via text or email. At our first meeting he explained every step of the process in easily comprehensible detail without being condescending,

Where to begin... We couldn’t have gotten any luckier to work with Joel Sandman. I don’t think we could have found such a hard working, down to earth, honest, knowledgeable, friendly real estate agent if we had made a wish for the ideal real estate agent. Joel broke every preconceived notion we had about agents,

My husband and I recently moved from the NC mountains to Clemmons, NC. We were searching for a starter home in a great area with a big backyard. Friends of ours gave us Joel's information and we are so glad that they did. Joel was the best realtor that we could have asked for.

Joel is great! He was recommended to us by a few of our friends and we couldn’t be happier! Joel is super knowledgeable about the Triad area and was able to help us narrow our search based on what my fiancé and I valued most in a home/location. Any question we had- Joel had an answer and was always available to talk.

"We have nothing but good things to say about Joel's performance!"

My brother and I were recently tasked with selling our late Mother's home. We were fortunate in stumbling upon Joel Sandman (actually he came highly recommended from our late Mother's attorney). Joel's personality/approach is an easy going but confident balance of knowledge, insight, compassion,

"He is very ethical and upfront."

We highly recommend Joel! Joel helped us sell our Mom's home after her passing. He was great to work with and very knowledgeable about the market. We live out of town and he went by the house regularly to check on the home and surroundings. He kept us informed regularly and guided us through the process.

Joe Schachle

"We highly recommend Joel!!"

Joel was an amazing realtor. When we were preparing to put our home on the market, he gave advice on pricing, staging and home improvements that would help sell the home quickly. He was able to get our home sold in less than 48 hours!! We were blown away! During the selling process,

Hillary Nazareth

I am pleased to write a GLOWING review for Joel. As a seller, I had three main requirements for my agent: (1) someone who knew the market in my neighborhood and could advise accordingly; (2) someone willing to “go beyond” what a typical listing agent does; and (3)someone who would be honest with me and “tell it like it is.” I didn’t want a yes man. Joel not only met all three, he exceeded them. The first thing Joel provided me was a “Market Analysis” for my home – basically listing all of the comparable homes that have sold or were on the market in my neighborhood, along with an estimated range of the price we should list it at. After reviewing several of these from different prospective realtors, it was clear Joel did his research. His market analysis was much more detailed and provided reasoned justifications for the target price range. It was clear he wanted to work and earn my business, unlike some of the “elite” realtors in the Triad. Of course, work ethic means nothing without the wherewithal to put it to use. Again, Joel exceeded expectations in this area. One of my principal concerns was finding an agent that could somehow break the mold of what a typical realtor does. I didn’t just want a for sale sign, pictures, and Zillow. I wanted something different, something to make my listing stand out. Joel delivered. In addition to bringing his firm’s expert photographer Maria to take photos of my house (she’s incredible!), he also brought a professional drone to record an HD video of the exterior – including a birds-eye view of my plot of land and the house. He then edited the shots into a single video and overlaid some cool graphics and music – basically a commercial that we could share on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, etc. Does your agent do that? I didn’t think so. But just like every other real estate sale, we hit some snags along the way. Importantly though, these were ALL attributed to the buyers, and not Joel. In fact, Joel frequently turned these snags into opportunities. When our first set of buyers were making some very unreasonable demands after the inspection report came back, Joel didn’t try and persuade me to make the concessions, but instead acknowledged that it didn’t make sense to and that he thought it made sense to go back on the market if the buyers wouldn’t relent. I should have listened to him, as these same buyers ended up backing out a week and a half before closing – my mistake! Thankfully, Joel came in and saved the day. This news would have been crushing to any seller and their agent, but Joel was not deterred. He was energized to get my house back on the market and under contract again as fast as possible. His hard work paid off. Two days after the previous buyers backed out, Joel called to inform me that we had a CASH offer on my house which was MORE than the previous buyers offered. In fact, it was slightly above Joel’s target price range. We then closed three weeks later with NO snags. That’s a truly remarkable agent right there. Joel is the type of agent that truly cares about his clients and not about his commission check. In my experience, that is the trait that gets sellers the highest return on their investment and buyers the best bargain possible. I could go on about Joel’s other great qualities – he once offered to help me move some VERY heavy furniture – but why not just call and meet with him? You won’t regret it.

Joel was fantastic! As a first time homebuyer, he took the time to go over the entire homebuying process and made sure we understood all of the documents and procedures. Any time we had questions (even dumb ones), he was patient and was able to explain the answers in a manner that my wife and I could understand.
