Mr. Sanford is an excellent, well-versed, experienced, caring, honest and fair Team Leader (Realtor) . He is calm and cool to any situation. He is confident and has tremendous self-confidence. He engineered two failed contracts since January and guided us through the third and final contract. He was a beacon of hope during our process when we were totally down and nervous. He tried to alleviate our stress and reminded us that he will keep his promise to us. He promised and kept the smooth transition from house to house (seamless transition). He was very concerned and helpful and console me so many times not to stress and leave everything unto him. God bless him. We are lucky to have him.

Kent has helped us now on both the buyer's side and seller's side of recent real estate transactions. We originally reached out to Kent because we knew he had experience in our area, and we have been so pleased with our decision to work with him. Both our purchase and our sale had some unexpected complexities. In both instances, he was able to assess the situation and provide thoughtful guidance to help us determine how to proceed. He was then able work effectively with the others involved to reach mutually agreeable outcomes. Kent's depth of knowledge and experience gives him a solid grasp on what is "reasonable". His integrity gives him the ability to balance that "reasonableness" with what is right. He is patient and thoughtful, but also firm when the situation demands. Given the circumstances of our purchase, things could have easily fallen apart with a less experienced agent, but Kent was able to navigate everyone to a successful closing. We would certainly recommend Kent to others, and will continue to work with him on future purchases and sales on personal and investment properties.

Kyle Taylor and the Remax team were great partners throughout the sale of our riverfront property. Kyle met with Jennifer and I providing insight to the market and to the value of our property. He presented his strategy and how his team would market the sale. In the end, I could not be more pleased with the outcome. Kyle was right there with us every step of the way. If we had a question or concern, Kyle was quick to respond and take action if needed. We would recommend Kyle and the team to anyone looking for an agent to help them navigate the current market. We couldn’t be more pleased with his engagement and support.

When I first met Ryan I was apprehensive because I'd never sold or bought a house before; especially now that I'm a widow, I'm really timid about many decisions I have to make on my own. But once I started working with him, I quickly was able to see that he and his team had my best interest as top priority. I am sure to let anyone I know that he and his team are not just professional, but also personal and genuine in being there to help you as you transition from start to finish. I felt safe and confident that this process was in very good hands as well as me and my concerns no matter how big or small.

Sold a Single Family home in 2022 in Richmond, VA. Ryan was helpful throughout the process and made selling my house easy. He showed professionalism and knowledge of the market and the selling process to ensure I was up to date on everything involved. Ryan was able to use his resources to coordinate a small repair and even helped me take apart a bed during my move. His team worked hand in hand with him to take beautiful photos of my home, coordinate my open house and make sure all documents were explained and signed on time. I enjoyed working with him and his Remax team.

Two years after my mother's passing, her estate was settled, and I was both emotionally and legally able to put her house on the market for sale. My husband reached out to a marketing group that disseminated information to real estate agents in order for them to contact sellers about listing their properties. Among others, we were contacted by Doug Reed from the Ryan Sanford Team of REMAX Commonwealth. Doug was courteous and professional, and expressed his sincere desire to assist us with the sale. He also provided us with a detailed packet outlining the services that could be provided, and how each team member of the Ryan Sanford team played an essential role in ensuring the successful sale of our property. We chose to use the REMAX team, based upon our initial contact with Doug. Once the house was listed with REMAX, Doug set us up to receive text notifications of all appointments scheduled for tours of the house through ShowTime. After only three days, he contacted us about the offers that had been received and followed up with a thorough spreadsheet for us to review. After we reviewed the information, he called back to discuss each offer in detail and made a viable recommendation for the one he felt was most beneficial for us, taking many factors into consideration. We took Doug’s advice which ultimately ended in a successful sale without any negotiation needed. The sale of my mother’s house was also the sale of my childhood home with contents encompassing 57 years of living and loving. Doug was sensitive and respectful when he conducted his initial tour of the house and throughout the next few weeks as he checked in with my husband and me as we cleared the contents of the house. He came by to tour the house when it was empty, and he called us. Doug was so complimentary and encouraging about what a wonderful job we had done. It was such an uplifting moment after such an emotional journey! I WOULD RECOMMEND DOUG REED TO ANYONE WHO IS LOOKING TO SELL A HOUSE!! He is professional, compassionate and knowledgeable and will work as hard to sell your house as he would work to sell his own!

Kent has helped us now on both the buyer's side and seller's side of recent real estate transactions. We originally reached out to Kent because we knew he had experience in our area, and we have been so pleased with our decision to work with him. Both our purchase and our sale had some unexpected complexities. In both instances, he was able to assess the situation and provide thoughtful guidance to help us determine how to proceed. He was then able work effectively with the others involved to reach mutually agreeable outcomes. Kent's depth of knowledge and experience gives him a solid grasp on what is "reasonable". His integrity gives him the ability to balance that "reasonableness" with what is right. He is patient and thoughtful, but also firm when the situation demands. Given the circumstances of our purchase, things could have easily fallen apart with a less experienced agent, but Kent was able to navigate everyone to a successful closing. We would certainly recommend Kent to others, and will continue to work with him on future purchases and sales on personal and investment properties.
