Clients reviews about Mandell Real Estate Group

Jay and his team are absolutely one of a kind. Michael Tagg was, and through vacations and time off, was more than i coule have hoped for. Michael has stuck with me and gone along with my many crazy conquests. He got me a fantastic place and still checks on my daily. This whole team stepped up. Any question, concerns or my many tears were met with immediate priority. Sandy, the office manager, is truly one of a kind. She is so calm, patient, understanding and makes you feel like you are the absolute top priority. Jay makes things move! He is so knowledgeable about real estate but more importantly he knows about people. They're not just a great real estate company, they are fantastic human beings! ~ Emma B

Working with Michael was an outstanding experience from start to finish. He went above and beyond, showing us homes across three different counties to help us find the right property. No matter what came up, he was always ready to jump in, answer questions, and help solve any issues along the way. His communication was excellent throughout the entire process. He kept us informed, responded quickly, and made what could have been a stressful home-buying experience feel smooth and enjoyable. On top of that, Michael is genuinely friendly, patient, and easy to work with. If you’re looking for a realtor who is dedicated, knowledgeable, and truly has your best interests at heart, I can’t recommend Michael enough. He made buying our home a great experience, and we’re incredibly grateful for everything he did. ~ jonathon s

We were looking for a real estate agent in Blacksburg or Christiansburg that had a lot of experience working in creative financing and helping people to grow their wealth with real estate. We were introduced to Jay by a friend who has increased his net worth by millions using Jay as his real estate advisor. We were very pleased with the process and bought the property at a price that has already allowed us to force the appreciation on the house and increase our net worth. If you are looking for a real estate advisor to help you grow your net worth in the NRV Jay is the one for you. He also has a book coming out soon on his real estate philosophy and principles. Thanks for all your help, Jay ~ Shawn F

Working with Jay and the Mr. Estate Group in Blacksburg was an absolute pleasure! Jay was not only professional and knowledgeable, but also incredibly patient and supportive throughout the entire home-buying process. He took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and made sure every detail was handled with care and attention. Jay was always available to answer questions, explain the process clearly, and offer honest advice. His deep knowledge of the Blacksburg and Christianburg market helped me make informed decisions with confidence. Most importantly, I always felt like he had my best interests in mind. I can’t thank Jay and the team enough for making this such a smooth and positive experience. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and dedicated real estate team in the area! ~ Namaste K

We had an outstanding experience working with Jay and Sandy throughout our home buying process. Their expertise and years of experience were evident from the very beginning, and they consistently provided sound, trustworthy advice that helped guide our decisions with confidence. They were strong advocates for us, negotiating effectively and ultimately helping us save a significant amount of money. Communication was another major strength—they were always quick to respond, clear in their explanations, and proactive in keeping us informed. That level of consistency made the entire process much smoother and less stressful. We are incredibly grateful for their professionalism, dedication, and care. We would highly recommend Jay and Sandy to anyone looking for knowledgeable and reliable realtors. ~ Caleb C

Jay and the team at MR Real-Estate are not only one of the best Realty companies in the area, but they are also some of the best people you will ever meet. Jay is a kind, compassionate, and motivated person who really wants to see others lifted up and succeed in their goals and has really engrained this idea into the company culture. Going through the home buying process, I had a lot of questions and concerns about different things and Jay really took the time to help me understand what was going on and walk me through each step so I felt good moving forward. I can’t say enough how grateful I am to have had Jay by my side through buying my first home! ~ Chase B

Jay and his team were absolutely great to work with. They provided outstanding, attentive service from start to finish. From home selling to home buying, they covered every detail with ease. Jay, Sandy, and Michael listened carefully to our priorities, guided us through the process of preparing our home to sell, and gave quick, responsive feedback, all while guiding us to our NEW right-fit home. They went above and beyond the call of duty each step along the way. This is a team committed to caring for the client first, with integrity and respect above all. Working with them was a great experience. We highly recommend the Mandell Real Estate Group! ~ Sharon L

I asked Michael Tagg to show me a fixer-upper I'd found listed online. He kindly obliged and, after realizing how out of my league that first listing was, immediately suggested something much better suited for me. The Mandell Group then assembled like the A-Team to make our dreams come true in a smooth, orderly, timely, and enjoyable fashion! They even got us settled on a price much lower than what we'd initially envisioned! Members of the Mandell group have even kept in touch and have helped us celebrate many major steps in this journey! I couldn't have asked for a better first-time home-buying experience! I strongly recommend Jay and his team! ~ Daniel K

Following a simple inquiry as to what our property may be worth, should we decide to retire from the rental business after 4o+ years, Jay Mandell and his team including Sandy Kennedy and Michael Tagg, took the metaphorical ball and ran with it. It was an amazing and often whirlwind experience! Our vague inquiry was a unique challenge for us until Jay finely honed that challenge into a comprehensive plan that addressed very many stressful details. Jay’s team is outstandingly superior to former experiences with realty businesses. The service is uncommon and Jay’s experience with and grasp of the NRV is impressive. Not only professional, Jay’s team formed a personal bond with us from the start. No concern was too small to be addressed punctually. We cannot praise this group highly enough and wholeheartedly recommend them for any real estate needs. ~ Suzanne J

We recommend Jay and the Mandell Real Estate Group without any hesitation. Jay helped my family get our home when we moved to the area. We were randomly matched with him through a Zillow search and we could not have been luckier. Due to last minute circumstances we had to make the purchase entirely virtually. Jay is a consummate professional. Timely, detailed in his assessments and walkthroughs of properties, highly responsive to communications. He gave invaluable advice which allowed us to secure our purchase in a timely manner. Now several years down the line we could not be happier with our purchase. ~ Richard Z

The Mandell Real Estate Group is awesome! Jay and his team were super responsive throughout the entire home-buying process. Anytime we needed anything they were quick to respond and did whatever they could to help us. They also did an awesome job helping us put together a competitive offer. We felt like we were in the best position the entire time having the Mandell Real Estate Group represent us. And sure enough, our offer was accepted! Thank you so much to the entire Mandell Real Estate Group for all your help in our home-buying experience. Special shout out to Michael for all his help and Sandy for making us feel so loved. Thank you! ~ Ryan H

We met Jay through a friend's recommendation. We were looking to buy a home in Blacksburg, near Virginia Tech. Since we are first-time buyers, we truly appreciated his outstanding communication, he was always available for us, as well as his ability to clearly explain every step througout the process. That gave us the confidence to move forward! Also, he was extremely accommodating regarding scheduling viewings and making himself available on short notice when necessary. Jay and his team went above and beyond what was expected to help us find exactly what we needed. We would highly recommend Jay Mandell for a realtor! ~ Myriam M

Our home and property were unusual, with a mother-in-law suite and a separate guest room -- not the typical 3-bedroom house. Other realtors could only see what we didn't have. Jay came with his team, Sandy and Michael; examined it thoroughly, and said, "I'm going to have to think about this." He came back with a price higher than others, hired an appraiser and an excellent photographer. The house sold the first morning at an even higher price. We greatly appreciated the time, thought, research, and the different "eye" that Jay's team gave us. ~ Jim &

As a buyer, I worked with Paige Williams from the Mandell Real Estate Group, which has been a truly awesome experience. Paige is always responsive and very helpful at every stage of the process. She is a "go getter" and she will help you come up with an offer that is within your contraints yet will be attractive to the seller. She is a very friendly and supportive person, so you will know that you are being taken care of at every stage of the process. Other members of the Mandell Group have been very instrumental as well, kudos to Sandy and Jay! Highly recommend them! ~ Nadir K

We contacted the Mandell Group to look at property for our dream retirement home. Jay and Paige were very friendly when we met, and Jay spent several hours of his time walking the property with us, answering all of our questions, and giving us guidance on future building. Sandy was very helpful during the purchasing process, she was responsive at all times, going above and beyond to answer all of our questions. The group helped us to feel comfortable with our purchase, and we are very happy with choosing the Mandell Group to make our dreams come true. ~ Lisa M

As a first time homebuyer, I couldn't have asked for a better experience with Jay and Michael. They took the time to expertly guide us through every step of the process. Michael was able to zero in on our home goals and was lightening fast at sending tours / contracts so we could be one of the first offers on properties. Jay was phenomenal at giving in-depth home tours with a builder's mindset on what we should be considering for any renovations and investment potential. In the end, Jay's negotiating skills are what got us under contract on our dream house! Would recommend them to anyone! ~ Kathryn T

Great experience working with MR team to find our dream house. MR team is very professional and efficient. They always put their feet into our shoes. The team has substantial experience in construction and business. During the house visit, they can effectively identify the house’s deficiencies and uniqueness, and provide remedial guidance. For budgeting and planning, they share thoughts that are suitable for you. In addition to the services, the team members are fantastic people to hang out with. The regular soccer game and holiday parties bond us together as a big family. ~ Fengbin H

Paige was very helpful and responsive in our home buying process. Everything from making our initial search all the way to closing, Paige was a phone call or text away and helped us feel comfortable and confident. We had a lot of details to figure out in our purchase and Paige coached us through every step. We bought an older house and Paige took care of coordinating and scheduling all the inspectors and contractors to make sure there weren’t any hidden problems. She made it so easy and we would gladly work with her again! ~ Matt B

My husband and I worked with Michael, and even when things didn't go as planned he stepped up and went beyond for us. We unfortunately wasn't able to buy a home but thanks to Mike we're still able to have a place to call home in a rental until things get straightened out. And I know who I will be going to when that time comes! I 100% recommend this agency 👌. Thank you for everything 🙏 If you're looking for someone to take time and listen and help you find your dream home this is the place to go!!! 💜 Mandie ~ Star B

In December 2025, Jay helped me sell an inherited property in need of significant TLC. A year later, while driving through Missouri, I saw a Zillow listing that really spoke to me. Jay and Sandy were willing to check the property out on my behalf and give me a remote video walk-through (and they were thorough). They offered amazing support during my first home buying experience. If you are looking for a team who has connections, experience, and cares about the best decisions for their clients, Mandell Real Estate is a great choice. ~ Sarah P

Jay and his MR team is an amazing group! They helped me a lot in different investment ideas, and worked with me and my family to buy our home in Blacksburg! As a real estate investor, I find myself asking him questions and he would share his experience without hesitation. Jay is always available for consultations and his wealth of knowledge in real estate is unmatchable. He helps people and friends to build wealth through real estate and always gives an honest advice regardless! ~ F G

We are very impressed with Jay and the MR Real Estate team. Jay made the house buying process smooth and easy. He listened to what we were looking for, had clear communication, and did a wonderful job in helping us find the perfect home. Thank you, MR Real Estate and Jay Mandell for helping us find our home! Also the MR Real Estate team did an excellent job with organization and communicating all those final steps of home buying. We couldn't have asked for a better team to work with. ~ Carol A

It was a pleasure to work with Michael to find my dream home! As a first time homebuyer, I had a lot of questions throughout the buying process. Michael was always quick to answer and explained things thoroughly! He made me feel informed about every decision I was making! While touring homes, he was great at pointing out flaws in homes that could cause an issue further down the line, such as structural issues. I would highly recommend Michael to anyone looking to buy or sell a home! ~ Amber H
