Once my wife and I decided that La Quinta was going to become our retirement home, we knew we'd need an experienced and qualified realtor to guide us through the numerous options available in the Valley. 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. read more

Your search for a knowledgable, trusted and experienced real estate agent is over! Andrea and Jon's expertise and guidance was invaluable in helping us sell our home in La Quinta. To say they went above and beyond would be an understatement. My husband and I were traveling (for work and finding another home overseas) throughout the selling process, and we were only able to do this since our home was in the capable hands of The Brandt group. They are upfront with all pros and cons. And the icing on the cake is that Andrea and Jon are a wonderful and caring couple. So pick up the phone and call them now, you will not be disappointed. read more

We were looking to locate back to Palm Desert in an extremely tough "buyers" market. We went to a number of agents and looked at many homes for sale. When we retained Jonathan and the Brandt group, they were extremely responsive to our needs. Thankfully we found a house that suited our needs and Jonathan worked diligently to work an agreement with the sellers. If we are ever going to sell or buy a house in the future, we definitely will look to the Brandt Group to represent us. We highly recommend them to anyone who is trying to buy or sell a home. read more

We spent 15 months working primarily with Jon Brandt. All I can say is Jon is as honest and hard working as the day is long. He showed us numerous properties over this time period without getting frustrated with us. He shared tid bits of information about many properties that only an experienced agent would know preventing us from wasting time pursuing these properties. Very much appreciated. Both Jon and Jeff Brandt were instrumental in developing strategies for making the most attractive offers possible. We made several and finally found the home that checked practically all of our boxes. We weren't sold a house, we were sold a home. I would strongly recommend The Brandt Group. read more

We recently purchased a home from the Brandt group. We mostly worked with Jonathan and Jeff as well and let us tell you that it was a pleasure working with them every step of the way. They are very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. There was never any pressure to buy and during the home search, they were very accommodating to our teacher schedule. I felt great about working with them from start to finish. We've worked with other realtors in the past and Jonathan was by far the best. Please go with this group--you'll be glad you did. read more

Additionally, the years of real estate experience made us feel extremely comfortable that the entire process was being managed by very experienced professionals.
