I am extremely pleased to have chosen the Brandt Group to lead and complete our search for the perfect home and I am happy to say that from my perspective, all their 5 star reviews are legit and well earned. I initially sent through a generic contact request via their Contact Us page and received a reply within a couple hours from Jeff & Linda letting me know they'd love to help us with our relocation (from Seattle) and to let me know that their group's primary buyer's agent (and the person who knew the most about everything for sale in the Valley) was son Jonathan. I was told to expect to hear from him the following day, which I did. We had several phone calls discussing our needs and desires and then I began receiving emails identifying various possibilities in and around our target parameters. These auto-generated emails were the same thing I had already been pulling down from Redfin and Zillow and very quickly, we were able to narrow the parameters down to several options we wanted to see in person. We informed Jonathan of when we'd be in town and he set up a tour of 6-8 different homes in 5-6 different country clubs. As we toured each development and each home, he quickly got a feel for exactly what we were looking for and during that first trip, we decided we wanted to move to the Rancho La Quinta CC. From that point onward for the next couple weeks, Jonathan kept us up to speed with RLQ options that were good targets and when he learned there was a new listing coming that he felt was right for us, he arranged with the selling agent to get early access and we did a FaceTime walk-through. As that option looked like a good possibility and at that time, there were several others that were good options too, I scheduled another trip to the desert. Jonathan picked me up at PSP and as Jeff had some spare time, he met us at the first showing and the three of us spent the day touring four homes and having lunch at the RLQ clubhouse. Spending the day at RLQ further solidified my desire to limit our choices to that development. During lunch, we agreed the homes we'd seen that day were not exactly what I was looking for and that we'd keep looking. I then asked if we could go take another look at one of the homes we'd seen on our first visit. I wanted to do that because when we toured it originally, my wife and I agreed it was the perfect home, but priced out of our range. I wanted to take another look to see if it still seemed to be perfect and to consider upping our price range. Jonathan got ahold of the selling agent and they agreed to meet us at the home. We walked through the home and it was as I remembered. I just wasn't sure about the price. Jeff agreed it seemed a bit high and at that point, I asked him to let the selling agent know we loved the home and to let us know when they were ready to get serious about the price. Fast forward two weeks . . . a fair price was negotiated, the seller desired a quick closing due to some family commitments, and we closed on the home in under 14 days from contract acceptance. Through it all, Jeff and Jonathan were calm, professional, down to earth, and extremely responsive and easy to communicate with. They provided an out-of-towner with the insight and information garnered through their 25+ years in the Valley where in fact, Jonathan grew up. They filled me in on the windy vs. calm areas; morning sun vs. afternoon sun; the various mountain views; the expensive power company areas vs. the reasonable power company areas; etc. It was clear they understood and desired to build a relationship and a friendship along with their desire to close on a home. They achieved in all aspects of our relationship. As an out-of-town buyer who was not able to move in at close, they have been invaluable in stopping by the home to check in. When the seller left, they had left 12-15 pieces of furniture in the home due to a misunderstanding with their agent. Once we learned this, Jeff and Jonathan arranged to have the remaining personal property removed and donated. The Brandt Group, and especially what I refer to as the J&J Team exceeded all hopes and expectations and I am happy to call them my first friends in the Valley. I am happy to write this letter with the hope others will believe that all the 5 star reviews are truly legit and well earned.

I contacted Bill, to have him send me emails with properties in the neighborhood I was interested in. He was very patient with me... and I received several emails a week showing me different models and different properties so I would have an idea of what to expect when I was ready to buy a home. When that time came, I set up a day with Bill to look at a few different models. And then, almost by accident, Bill found the perfect home. I am so happy to say that Bill made this whole purchase so easy. Bill is not only extremely knowledgeable, he's also extremely friendly and very calm... Which is helpful trying to navigate buying a home, which can be very stressful. They'll also recommend recommended various contractors for me to use once I purchased the house. And all of his recommendations were wonderful. I never plan on moving again... But if I did, Bill would be the first call I would make. I cannot recommend him high enough.

I then received confirmation emails stating that my booking was confirmed at the listed price. Shortly after, Amanda emailed me stating that the system had made an error and that the price was incorrect. She attempted to increase the total cost by $600. I contacted Amanda to explain that the pricing error was not my fault, especially since the booking was confirmed and a contract had already been signed at the original price. During this call, Amanda was extremely unprofessional. She began yelling at me, said she "didn't care," and refused to let me speak to a supervisor or manager, claiming she was the owner and there was no one else to escalate the issue to. I had to repeatedly ask her to stop yelling when I was just trying to explain my side as the customer. Ultimately, I was forced to cancel my reservation because I was not willing to pay an additional $600 for a booking that had already been confirmed. A company should take responsibility for its own website and pricing errors, those costs should not be passed on to the customer. I have never been treated so poorly by a business. This experience was incredibly disappointing and is not how customers should be spoken to or treated.

Then, VRBO charged the entire amount on my credit card. She should know this since SHE sets the terms for this, according to VRBO. Then 4 months later, she calls me and says "... this is Amanda and I'm a property manager and VRBO has double-booked your reservation, so I'm going to help you find a BETTER house". But Amanda does not want to book thru the VRBO format and she will send me a new rental agreement. The whole thing was sounding fishy. I called VRBO, realizing that this property manager and the VRBO Host are the same person. She was so dishonest with me in her mis-representation. She never sent me the new rental agreement.
