**Web Review for Michael Sanford Group**
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I recently had the pleasure of working with the Michael Sanford Group when purchasing our new home in Franklin, Tennessee, and I cannot recommend them highly enough! From start to finish, Michael and his dedicated team provided exceptional assistance that made our home-buying experience not only smooth but also enjoyable.
Michael was incredibly organized and always available to address our questions and concerns. He helped us find homes that fit our parameters, including location, size, and other important factors. I was particularly impressed by how hands-on he was; he spent almost a whole day with us driving around the Nashville area, showcasing various homes that matched our criteria. His deep knowledge of the Nashville region made a significant difference in our search.
What truly stood out to me was how well Michael’s team managed the closing process. They guided us through each step, providing a clear and comprehensive timeline. This level of organization alleviated much of the stress typically associated with closing, allowing us to focus on the excitement of moving into our new home.
In a world where good service can sometimes be hard to find, the Michael Sanford Group truly excels. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking to buy a home in the Nashville area. Thank you, Michael and team, for making our dream home in Franklin a reality!

Michael was exceptional in every aspect helping us find our first home in West Haven Franklin, TN. It was honestly a breath of fresh air seeing how communicative, transparent, and passionate Michael was throughout the whole process. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience buying a home and will certainly work with him again in the near future.

Nothing but gratitude and sincere appreciation goes to our real-estate agent Michael Sanford. He gave us such confidence in our decision to relocate to another state and to a neighborhood that felt so right for this next stage in our lives. My husband and I were so fortunate to have met and connection with Michael and his professionalism and how he went above and beyond to help us find our home. He answered all text messages right away and checked on us often to be sure we were comfortable and had all our questions answered. He was more than just a sales agent - he was a friend and we would highly recommend Michael to any and all our friends and family and anyone looking to find the right agent. We love our new home and the ease that came with working with such a wonderful, professional and pleasant person. Thank you Michael.

Michael did a good job helping us sell our house. He had a good stager and an excellent pricing plan that resulted in a tremendous amount of interest and multiple offers, well over asking price.
If we need to sell our current house, we'll ask Michael to represent us.

My husband and I worked with Michael Sanford and Michelle McNelley when we moved down here in January. They were both great to work with and very personal and knowledgeable about the areas we were looking for a house in. We closed on our house in White Bluff in September of this year and we couldn’t be more happy with our home choice. Thank you again so much for all of your help and for being so patient with us while we found our new roots in TN!

Michael is the realtor you want on your side, no doubt about it. He communicates very well, values your time, and really knows the business.

Michael started providing me with Nashville area real estate updates two years before my husband and I were ready to buy a property. He responded to several emails during this time, answering several general questions I had about market trends. When my husband and I finally decided we wanted to buy a home in Nashville, I contacted Michael. He went to work immediately, taking me out to see houses, giving me a good idea of available options, and wisely encouraging us to think of this purchase as an investment. When my husband arrived in town, Michael took him through the same paces. Although the seller of our chosen property turned out to be quite prickly, Michael remained optimistic. A week after my husband’s arrival, we got the house. I can’t say enough positive things about Michael’s ability to listen to and synthesize the various financial, family, and emotional realities we presented to him as buyers. He took care of the nitty gritty of property viewing schedules, negotiating hurdles, home inspection, contract details, title company regulations, seemingly without batting an eye. The ease of our property search and purchase was due to Michael’s superior local knowledge, real estate expertise, local contacts, and communication skills. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend working with him. We will certainly come back to his firm to handle our next real estate venture.

Had a great experience working with Michael on a recent home search and purchase. He was friendly, professional and highly knowledgeable. Michael’s insight and steady hand guided us through the process and we couldn’t be happier with how it turned out.

Michael was referred to us from a close friend as we were relocating to Nashville. During our move, Michael was patient and allowed us to take our time and come to him when we were ready for next steps. He checked in with us regularly but we never felt pressured - I appreciated the fact that he wasn’t pushy and allowed us to drive how aggressive we wanted to be during the home buying process. He was as hands on as we wanted/needed him to be but was also quick to step in and offer his insight and market knowledge where he saw appropriate. Michael was really good at picking up on our likes/dislikes and didn’t waste our time showing us homes that wouldn’t be a good fit. Michael being a Nashville native + his realtor experience was a plus - he was knowledgeable of the different areas and trends. His attention to detail and high expectations were extremely helpful during the walkthrough and contract/closing process. Would definitely recommend him!

Michael was great at coaching us through the buying process, especially considering how competitive the market is. Because he encouraged us to get pre-approved before shopping around, we closed on our forever home in 30 days!! Thanks.Michael!

We have used a couple of realtors in the past. When we found Michael, we knew we hit the jackpot. He was the hardest working realtor we had met. From day one, he worked his tail off to make sure we sold our home and to assist us in finding a new home.
The communication was impeccable. He contacted us daily with updates. After the process was over, we didn't consider him as just our realtor, we considered him as a friend.
We will definitely use him again and we refer him to everyone we speak to who is planning on selling or buying a home.
Thank you for everything Michael!

Experienced agent who's knowledge of the local market in Nashville helped me close on my first home. In a fast moving market with multiple offers, there was a lot of reassurance in knowing my Realtor is a professional who helped me make competitive offers and most importantly; get us to the closing table. I am very happy with my purchase and Michael will certainly be the first choice for all my future purchases.

Michael Sanford was absolutely incredible in finding us a new house in the very competitive Nashville market. He grew up in this area, has a ton of incredible connections and really knows his way around this market. Meticulous, extremely hard working, a consummate professional. You don’t just want a realtor that can show you houses, you want an agent like Michael that is two steps ahead of the game, negotiating behind the scenes on your behalf to make your offer stand out above all the rest. Rest assured that you are in the best possible hands with this realtor. He has a charming way of making you feel like you are his only client. I wouldn’t make another real estate purchase without him in my corner. I would highly recommend him, but only to my closest friends and family. This one is truly a treasure.

We just bought a house in Nashville with Michael as our agent. The Nashville market is so hot and dynamic with houses selling almost as quickly as they are listed with multiple competitive offers, we were very concerned about being the winner bidder on a house we wanted, once we found the right house. Michael, was very knowledgable and calm as he led us through this process. And with his help, we got the perfect house--the one we really wanted. I highly recommend him.

I worked with Michael Sanford to find a 2nd home that would work for our family. Michael was awesome! He was attentive, responsive and a real pleasure to work with. We clicked very well and I enjoyed being able to talk things through with him. He understood what I was looking for and really worked with me to find it. He answered my calls as soon as he could and if it was going to take a little longer to get back to me he would let me know as he works with several people because of the explosive market of Nashville.
I also interacted with Amanda Lea through the process of coordinating paperwork needed for our loan and what we needed and when so that our closing would go smoother than if we had to figure it all out for ourselves.
The whole process experience with Michael was professional and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend him because he really works to understand exactly what you are looking for and is truly helpful and listens. A+ experience!!

Got very lucky and found Michael to help me find exactly what my wife and I were looking for in an area we didn’t know very much about . He found out and eliminated homes we had no interest in that saved us lots of time in our search process. Called many times to check in after we found a house to make the purchase go very smooth . Even after we had moved in we received a few calls to make sure all was right and we were doing ok. Over all I would say 5 star !!!! Thank you
