Mark Brennan

Dave has been exceptional with selling our home.

Within one week, we had multiple offers and we accepted one that was above our asking price! During the process, he was always available to answer any questions and consistently provided informative feedback/updates! His knowledge/expertise made this entire experience simple and stress-free! I LOVED that he personally reached out to me and made sure I understood exactly where we were in the process, and that I understood next steps. If you're buying or selling, call The Sands Group! It's obvious Dave and his team take great pride in their work!!

I can't recommend Dave Sands as your realtor enough.

We really put Dave through the ringer with our asks in this unprecedented market. He did a wonderful job fielding our questions, providing recommendations, showing us new areas and joining us to check out many different houses until we knew we found the one and our offer was accepted. His honesty, patience and expertise propel him into a league of his own. A huge thank you to Dave and the Sands Group!

Nichole Garber

Dave Sands Group is awesome!

Their realtor Selene Mendez is someone we hold in high regard, personally and professionally. Throughout the home buying process, Selene was responsive and committed to good communication. And when it came to our business transaction, she handled it as if it were her own. We would highly recommend The Sands Group and their realtor Selene to anyone!

Lauren Hinze

Dave is an amazing realtor.

He helped us to find our forever home in PA. He gave us advice about pricing, neighborhoods, offers, and inspections during this difficult time to find available houses in the market. He is very professional, kind, and active. We highly recommend him if you are looking to find your new house!

Daniela Bermudez

We worked with Dave Sands directly and he was very helpful and anticipated our needs!

He got a great price for our old home and found our new place in record time! Dave and his team go above and beyond. Now he’s like family and we would definitely use them again!

Jennifer Murter

Working with Dave was a great experience.

I was a first time homebuyer and the process initially seemed like it would be overwhelming. Dave was very knowledgeable and so helpful with walking me through every step of the process so that it went smoothly and wasn't stressful. He did a great job of listening to my needs/feedback and found a house that I love. I highly recommend him.

I recently worked with Dave Sands in Philadelphia and he was awesome.

He knew the Philly market inside and out, responded to questions immediately, and showed genuine care for finding the right fit rather than pushing a quick sale. His negotiation skills got us a great price, and he handled the paperwork and timelines so the closing went smoothly. Professional, personable, and reliable — I’d highly recommend him to anyone buying or selling in PHL.

I cannot say enough about Dave Sands.

Dave helped me sell my home and buy a new home all within less than two months. I was adamant about getting in my new home by Christmas and with so many twists and turns, Dave made it happen. Dave was the consummate professional throughout, answering all of my texts/emails/calls. He was very honest with me during the entire process and kept me informed throughout. Dave truly cares about his clients and was a pleasure to work with. If I could give 100 stars for Dave, I would. I highly recommend him; you will not be disappointed.

Kim Verrecchia

Working with Tom and Dave to find our first house in the South Jersey area was a breeze!

And that's a lot to say as I am very particular. House shopping is not a quick process, and we saw so many homes, but once we walked into the right one, we knew. Either Tom or Dave were there with us for every step and were so informative during the whole process. They truly made house shopping feel easy. Thank you both for such a great experience!

Jacqui Benson

I couldn't be happier that we trusted Dave with our first home purchase!

Dave was knowledgable, available, and really listened to our needs to help us find our perfect home. He was also incredibly patient and helped us feel confident throughout the entire process. I can't recommend him enough!

Meghan Richardson

I cannot begin to explain how wonderful my home buying experience was thanks to Selene.

I came into the process very overwhelmed, and Selene assisted me patiently as my fiancé and I waited for the right home to come on the market. I have never worked with such a knowledgeable, kind, and thorough realtor; she made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process. I trusted Selene’s advice throughout every step of the way and could not imagine a better outcome. I recommend Selene to all my friends and will definitely call her if I ever want to sell my house.

TristanGretz

Dave and his team were outstanding in their execution of all tasks.

We received more than expected for our sold property, and also spent less than expected for our new home. As we were unsure for quite some time about moving we went to see a lot of properties, and Dave was fantastic about getting showings set up for us. They were attentive to every detail, and made sure that we were in position to execute smoothly at closing. I will always recommend Dave to friends and family!

Philip Breen

Worked with David Sands on an estate sale of a property in downtown Philly.

David was incredibly professional and easy to work with. I live out of state, and he went above and beyond to make it easy for me to sell the property from a distance including helping me find local contractors and cleaners to perform work to improve the listing. I highly recommend working with David if you are looking to sell a property in the PA / Philly region.

Meera Tandon

I’ve used Dave Sands and his team twice in the last 8 years.

Both experiences have been absolutely fantastic! Dave and his team truly go above and beyond, and exceeded all of our expectations. We listened to his advice and it worked out perfectly! The first house we listed with Dave he sold on the first day and it was above asking price. We were pleasantly surprised at the offer and accepted it. He made the whole experience an incredible one. This past April Dave sold our second house in less than 5 days for an amount that was way above asking price. We were astonished by the amount and how quickly it sold. Dave was able to recommend a clean out crew that saved us a lot of time in removing and discarding all that we chose not to take with us. He checked in regularly with us to ensure all was well and to see if there was anything he could help do for us. Selling a home can be an overwhelming task, but Dave Sands and his team made it a simple one. Communication was a key factor. Dave listened to our concerns, our wishes, our needs and came through for us on every level. Dave offered advice, expressed his thoughts and feelings on certain points and it paid off in the end. We loved working with Dave and we look forward to working with him again in purchasing our next home.

Claudine Filan

This was my first experience working with Dave but my husband has worked with him before.

Another success, we were able to navigate a tricky settlement with a number of obstacles together - would recommend, very grateful for all his help

kevinmcgrath856

We recently worked with Kevin Kruger on the sale of our home, and were extremely happy with the outcome.

He is a true asset to The Sands Group. Kevin assisted with every stage of the process, even while being out of the country. He was always available, through calls and texts, to answer any questions or concerns that came up. We would highly recommend Kevin Kruger if you're in the market to buy or sell a home.

Andrea DeNinno

Buying our beach house was a dream come true, and Kevin made the entire process incredibly easy and stress-free.

From day one, he was professional, knowledgeable, and always quick to respond to our questions. He listened to what we were looking for, offered great insights on the local market, and guided us through every step with patience and care. We truly felt like we had someone in our corner the whole way. If you're looking for a realtor who goes above and beyond, Kevin is your guy!

dodd weisenberger

I would like to thank Dave for an outstanding experience purchasing my new home.

From beginning until the very end it was nothing but a pleasant experience. He took my vision and made it a reality. I am a first homeowner thanks to Dave and his expertise. I highly recommend him and thanks to Evelyn for the referral.

T. Brown

Ms Selene Mendez She sold two of my property here in Philly.

She will answer all questions & concerns and make sure your transition is successful. I’m very pleased with the outcome. Definitely will recommend her to sell or buy a house. Great Realtor Happy Seller

Virginia Cartagena

Dave was our buyers agent.

He brought a lot of knowledge, insight and energy. We found a great place for a good price after he helped us navigate all the neighborhoods.

Git Sum

Dave worked with my fiancé and I to sell and buy a house.

He was consistently responsive, honest and upfront with us, and worked hard at all hours of the day and night to get us the best deal possible. I have recommended him to both friends and family. You can definitely trust Dave and the Sands Group for all of your real estate needs.

Deborah Ounan

Dave Sands went above and beyond what any realtor should.

He was incredibly patient, suggested contractors for light repairs and even pitched in and helped on a few tasks, like picking up permits when we were unable to. He literally held my hand through the whole process and made it so easy to sell our house. I adore this realtor and highly recommend him if you're considering selling your home.

Dave was an incredible help during our house hunt and purchasing process.

We would definitely not be in our home without him! We were living out of state while looking for a home in Philadelphia and Dave kindly catered his schedule to our constraints, and offered so much valuable insight to local neighborhoods. He went above and beyond, previewing homes for us when we were unable to be in town, as well as helping us through a tumultuous closing process. We would highly recommend Dave to anyone looking to purchase their future home!

deturk15

Went through a stressful process and Dave always gave us hope when speaking to him.

Guided us throughout the whole process and landed us our first home. Would give 10 Stars if possible.

Mateusz & Zaneta Filipkowski

Dave was incredibly helpful in helping us navigate our first investment property purchase.

He knew exactly what we were looking for and helped us find the perfect property. On top of that, he was ready with all of the information, referrals, and answers we needed to make sure the sale went through successfully and was our best advocate and advisor along the way. This was the third (and not last) time I worked with Dave, the first two were for my starter home and my next home after that.

Kevin Moran

I would like to personally thank Kevin Kruger for going above and beyond to help me with the sale of my home.

From the very beginning, he answered every text and phone call. His knowledge and experience had my house sold in less than a week with 22 offers! I couldn’t have been happier! He even personally helped me clean out my house. Again, going above and beyond! It was a great experience working with Kevin and The Sands Group-Berkshire Hathaway Home Sales.

Tracy Houck

From day 1 through the closing and beyond, Dave was amazing.

Always accessible and willing to meet/show on short notice (to the point where I actually felt guilty a few times). The market was insane this past Fall (2020) and Dave talked me off a ledge a few times as prices were going well beyond asking with no opportunity to counter offer. He stuck with us through the end and we are beyond happy with the results. Can't say enough good things about Dave!

seanfhamel

Dave Sands was absolutely outstanding as our realtor.

He was made for what he does. He is incredibly knowledgeable and super helpful throughout every stage of the home buying process. He is extremely responsive and made my husband and I feel 100% prioritized despite the fact that we weren’t his only clients. He was able to come to every home we wanted to view no matter how short notice. His skill set got us our forever home which we were nervous about obtaining in this crazy competitive market. It also was just such a pleasure to work with him as his personality is down to earth and positive and best of all proactive - which is what you need in a realtor. He is truly the best.

Ris

Dave Sands is great!

Really knows Philly and surrounding markets. Used him for our move to Bucks county, then again 5 years later when we relocated out of state. I’d highly recommend him to anyone I knew in the Philly area.

Peter Schlech

Dave Sands was excellent to work with.

He helped us navigate a highly competitive market and gave great advice to help us get our offer accepted. He guided us step of the way, was always available to address questions and keep the process enjoyable. I would recommend him with the highest praise.

carajespersen

Dave was a powerhouse of support for St.

James School. As an organization with limited resources to manager the purchase of an investment house to serve our community, Dave Sands went above and beyond to help us with a challenging purchase. Our staff, board and I were very impressed with David. Dave Kasievich President & Head of School, St. James School

David Kasievich

Selene Mendez is someone we hold in high regard, personally and professionally.

Throughout the home buying process, Selene was responsive and committed to good communication. And when it came to out business transaction, she handled it as if it were her own. We would highly recommend Selene to anyone!

laurenahinze

My husband and I have been trusting Dave Sands for many years!

Buying houses can seem scary but with Dave, we always felt that he had our back! Very dependable, very knowledgeable and on point with his communication skills! We closed on our new home on June 18th 2020 and he made us again happy owners! Thank you Dave for everything you’ve done for us! We do appreciate you and your business!

Rachid AB

I LOVED that he personally reached out to me and made sure I understood exactly where we were in the process, and that I understood next steps. If you're buying or selling, call The Sands Group! It's obvious Dave and his team take great pride in their work!!

Katie

We worked with Dave in purchasing a multi-family property in Philadelphia.

He understood our goals and worked with us for many months to find our ideal property. He was knowledgeable about the market and offered sound advice every step of the way. He’s easy going, responsive, and attentive to detail. He always made himself available and addressed all questions and concerns quickly. We would highly recommend Dave and The Sands Group to anyone seeking a realtor in the Philadelphia area!

Katherine

My wife and I could not ask for a better experience after working with Dave to sell our home in Philadelphia.

Dave’s guidance helped us get our home quickly under contract and at a price near the top of the market. Dave led us through the home selling process with ease and we felt prepared each step of the way. Even after selling our home, Dave has done a phenomenal job continuing to keep in contact with us and shows great appreciation for his clients past, present and future.

Lu Pereira

We interviewed a handful of real estate agents and ultimately decided to go with Dave since we felt like he "got" what we were looking for.

He is responsive, takes the time to understand what you want and most importantly to us - talked through the pros and cons of what can be an overwhelming process. We are thrilled with our new home but when the time comes, we will definitely be using Dave as our agent again. We highly recommend him!

Deranged Typewriter

I am so grateful that I decided to have Dave Sands represent me in the sale of my property.

I thought it would be easy to sell my property but it was significantly more complicated than I anticipated. Dave was amazing throughout the process. He worked unbelievably hard to help me close the transaction. He was tireless in his efforts and communicated with me regularly, even when the news was not always good. I came to trust him completely. At one point I was sure that we had a deal and the closing would be easy, only to discover that selling a property in Philadelphia sometimes is complicated. Dave was truly a hero when we discovered that there were old restrictions on the property that needed to resolved. In the end, the deal closed and only because of Dave’s experience, understanding of the local market, total dedication to his clients, ability to resolve problems and great communication skills. I only wish I had another property to sell in Philadelphia because I would love to work with Dave again!

I needed to sell my home quickly as I was in the midst of purchasing another one.

Unfortunately, I ran into a big problem. There was work previously done to my house without permits being filed with the county. It ground the entire closing process to a halt. I wasn’t sure what to do. I am a school teacher so free time during the school year is a commodity. I really can’t take off. Kevin handled everything. He helped me find contractors to come and review/fix the previous work, insured the permits were filed and the certificate of occupancy was issued which allowed us to close. He went to the county office countless times during that two week period. We only had to delay closing by a few days. I cannot tell you the relief I felt having someone in my corner. To say Kevin exceeding my expectations would be a gross understatement. If you need a realtor you can count on, look no further.

Jennifer Uhniat

Dave Sands was the third realtor that I dealt with trying to find a house.

The first one bothered me because I told him my price range was $400K and let him talk me into going up to $500K that left a very bad taste in my mouth so I decided to move on. The second realtor was never on time for showings. He had to go. I met Dave through a mutual friend and he went to work for me right away. We had looked at several homes together but the 1st one that I decided to make a bid on came through. Dave was knowledgeable, professional, courteous and passionate about serving my wants and needs. I recommend him to anyone that I know who wants to purchase or sell a home because he knows his craft! Thanks for everything Dave!

Aikeem Talley

I've been working with Dave Sands for over a decade.

Dave helps me find terrific tenants for my rentals, helped sell a home in Philadelphia at the top of the market, and recently found me another home in New Jersey. If fact, he helped me close that deal while he was out of the country. That's the kind of dedication Dave Sands brings to his clients. Look no further, Dave's your guy!

Dave went above and beyond for my fiancé and I.

He worked all hours and stayed on top of every obstacle we had to over come to be able to get the house we wanted. He made this process extremely smooth given our circumstances we were faced with. He went the extra mile every single time. I will always recommend him to anyone I know who is looking to buy or sell. I couldn’t of asked to find a better realtor. He truly is exceptional! I’m happy I got to experience buying our first home with him helping the process.
