Working with Nick Carter was an absolute dream. I came to him with a pretty specific wish list and a small budget, and somehow—after only looking at two houses—he helped me find the one! I almost passed on the house I ended up buying, but Nick encouraged me to at least go see it. I’m so glad I listened—he was totally right. It had everything I wanted and more.

Nick was so patient and honest throughout the entire process. I never felt rushed or pressured, and I truly trusted his opinion every step of the way. He really cared about making sure I found the right home and wasn’t going to let me settle or make the wrong decision.

If you're looking for someone who listens, gives great advice, and actually makes the home buying process enjoyable—Nick Carter your guy. I couldn’t recommend him more!

Nick Carter and the Re/Max Commonwealth Team was fantastic to work with during this process of selling our home. From the day that Nick showed up to list our home until the closing date it was a flawless process. We loved the fact that we controlled the date and time of our all of showings. From the beginning to the end of this entire process was flawless. GREAT JOB and Well Done by all. THANK YOU!

Ryan Sanford has been our trusted real estate agent for over a decade. His industry knowledge is unsurpassable. He priced our home just right and we had multiple offers over asking price within days! As always, Ryan and his staff (Allison) walked us through the process painlessly. Their professionalism is second to none!

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 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.

I have worked with The Ryan Sanford Team on both buying and selling a home. His team is professional and so easy to work with. Buying a house in this market was insane, however Ryan, Nick and Allison were there immediately anytime I had questions or just felt frustrated due to the market. Would highly recommend this team when either buying or selling your home!

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 Ryan Sanford REMAX team, based upon our initial contact with Doug.

Jeff and I met with Ryan Sanford and Doug Reed at the property to conduct a tour and discuss our expectations. I was impressed by the research they had done on comps in the area and impressed about the research they had done on the house itself, such as the fact that my parents were the original purchasers of the house in 1965. After assessing our expectations and area comps, Ryan recommended a selling price and a strategy, and we put the house on the market immediately. Within three days we accepted an offer that exceeded the asking price and within a month the sale had closed.

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. He was our cheerleader! It was such an uplifting moment after such an emotional journey!

I WOULD RECOMMEND THE RYAN SANFORD TEAM OF REMAX COMMONWEALTH TO ANYONE WHO IS LOOKING TO SELL A HOUSE!!

We worked with Kyle Taylor on the RE/MAX Commonwealth / Ryan Sanford team. Kyle sold our house we lived in for 22 years and is currently helping us buy a house. We can't speak highly enough about Kyle Taylor. He is extremely responsive, shows high integrity, caring / kindness, answered all our questions, offered connections to us for contractors, and is well known and respected in the real estate market in the Chesterfield/Midlothian VA area. Truly, we could not have wished for a better realtor. We are recommending him to all our family and friends!

I don't remember how I found Ryan Sanford, but I knew from the first conversation with him that I trusted him to sell my house. After using two other realtors, continually lowering the price, and eventually taking it off the market, Ryan was confident that he could get my house sold quickly. And within a week of being on the market, I had an offer for full asking price. Ryan and his entire team were professional, friendly, and extremely responsive. They are familiar with the neighborhoods in the Richmond area and use their expertise to maximize the selling prices of their client's houses.

We recently bought a very nice home near us in the Midlothian area to rent to our daughter and her family. We started looking in January, and Kyle Taylor contacted us after we made an inquiry on one home. Although we didn't make an offer, Kyle continued to assist us through a very challenging market for home buyers, especially in our area. He showed us seven or eight homes, and we made offers on two of them, missing out the first one, but much more pleased with the second one, on which we were successful (offer accepted in mid-April; closed in mid-May). Kyle was great to work with - extremely knowledgeable and helpful, and very patient with our demanding requirements. He did a great job in getting information for us and answering our questions. We would definitely be happy to work with Kyle again and recommend him to others looking to buy or sell a home.

From a buyers perspective, I expected this process to be a rollercoaster. I will say that Doug met my expectations of how easy he made things for me. Every phone call was answered w the exception of maybe 2 in which was returned within 5 min. I asked if I could view a house on Easter morning , he made it happen. I couldn’t be more satisfied w how smooth and professional everyone was and how easy they made my life and answered every question I had. I would absolutely work w them again.

Thanks guys 👍🏼

I worked with Kyle Taylor to find my townhome, and he was amazing! I was so impressed with the home inspector level of knowledge Kyle had about every residence. It is easy to see Kyle really loves being a realtor, because he is so well-informed about every aspect of the real estate sector, and is more than happy to share his knowledge. Kyle was very prompt in responding to my requests, and during the closing process, he updated me on every step along the way. Since I was brand new to the area, I asked Kyle for lawyer and mortgage broker recommendations, and I was equally impressed with the attention and service they provided. It was a flawless experience from beginning to end, and I highly recommend Kyle as a real estate agent!

Ryan has been great to work with. I am building a new home so I needed to sell my existing home at the highest price I could. He is easy to work with and we were able to sell my home in one weekend. Multiple offers came in and it sold for over the asking price. His team has been great too. His assistant, the photographer, even the contractor he recommended to work through the inspection issues were all easy to work with and did an exceptional job. I would definitely recommend Ryan to anyone who needs a Real Estate professional.

We really appreciate the time and dedication Amanda Ebbesen gave to us during our search for a new home. She took the time to listen and understand what we were looking for. Although the first home we looked at matched our criteria, it wasn’t quit for us. Amanda immediately started searching for other options for us, and we were able to look at another home that day. We wanted to have more choices in our search. She continued to provide daily lists of homes within our preferred area and price range. She took the time to work within our schedule and would go out of her way to set up appointments that fit. Thank you Amanda for all the work you did for us and the kindness you showed to us during our search. I would recommend Amanda Ebbesen to anyone looking for a home in the area.

I have always had the assumption real estate agents now a days just take some good photos and slap your listing online; no “real” work involved. We listed with another well known agency prior to going with the Sanford team. After approximately 6 months with this other agent and no luck my friend, Kyle Taylor (Sanford agent), got me to sit down with him and go over our listing. Kyle showed me a ridiculous amount of marketing lapses, some of which I didn’t even know were a thing. After this meeting we decided to give the Sanford team a shot. It took Kyle and his team only four days to sell our house!! On top of the very quick sale the process after was very smooth. My only regret was not going with Kyle and the Sanford team at an earlier time!
