Mike Sanford

Mike was so easy to work with, from our first call through closing. Not only did Mike go above and beyond, but he did so through the worst of the COVID-19 crisis. We were able to communicate remotely (from out of state), identify, sift, and sort through desired properties, and narrow our choices. Mike was very open and available and even visited many of the remote properties we were interested in and acted as our eyes and ears in determining if we should go to the trouble of viewing the property. He really understood our needs and desires and showed us some perfect matches. Mike was outstanding at understanding what we were trying to achieve, and wh...

I'm a practicing architect and have been associated with many real estate transactions; among these Mike has stood out as a real estate professional. Mike was my representative in an important land sale. He executed perfectly from start to finish. He is very knowledgeable, pleasant, alert, professional, efficient, detail-oriented, trustworthy, and motivated. I would not hesitate to engage him as my representative for any future real estate transactions.

Dealing with Mike Sanford of Barker Realty was indeed a pleasure. He was completely professional, proactive and not reactive, responsive to all of our needs, and very patient. Negotiating real estate sales, especially from out of town, is never easy. Mike made our experience an exception. I would recommend him without reservation to anyone interested in buying or selling in the Santa Fe market. We will miss our beautiful Santa Fe lot, but Mike made the experience as good as it could possibly have been. Thanks, Mike!

Mike was very communicative and easy to work with. He went and checked out my vacant lot in a pretty rural area. Walked it and gave me advice on an easement and some other questions I had. He knows his stuff. He is also very friendly. Will definitely use Mike again when the opportunity arises.

We're very grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Mike Sanford to sell an NM property we purchased 15 years ago. Mike is thoughtful and professional, with lots of great experience in the area. We’re located outside of NM, and he ensured the marketing of our property, as well as the offer and closing process, went smoothly, keeping us informed regularly as to how things were progressing. Mike actively marketed our property really well, and it sold much more quickly than we expected. We recommend him without hesitation!

We just sold a lot, and Mike was our Realtor; the whole experience was smooth and professional from the moment we first met Mike. He communicated well to us on the progress, interest from buyers, and what to expect when we did get an offer! Wish we had more lots to sell.

Working with Mike Sanford was an outstanding experience from start to finish. He demonstrated a high level of professionalism, knowledge, and dedication throughout the entire process. Mike was always responsive, attentive to details, and made sure every step was handled smoothly and efficiently. What truly stood out was his ability to communicate clearly and keep me informed at all times. He took the time to understand my needs and went above and beyond to make sure everything aligned perfectly. His expertise and commitment made what could have been a stressful process feel easy and well-managed. I highly recommend Mike Sanford to anyone looking for...

Mike has provided us with excellent advice and service regarding land and property in southern Santa Fe County. He is prompt, easy to work with, pragmatic, and highly experienced. We strongly recommend!

Mike Sanford has always exceeded expectations! His knowledge and extremely practical manner help solve problems for the benefit of everyone involved. Mike's vast real estate knowledge always impresses me. Additionally, Mike is a joy to work with!

Mike sold a lot for us that we had listed for years with a series of agents with no success. He is the consummate professional. Thorough, experienced, and very good at his job. Kept us well informed every step of the way and was super available for questions, etc. Highly recommend!

Mike approached me about selling a lot I purchased over 10 years ago. He walked the land with me and was warm, interested, and interesting from the very beginning. He was always responsive and handled everything that needed doing very quickly.

We sold our lot through Mike, and within 3 weeks of listing it, there was an offer. Mike handled all the details (Listing info, photos, paperwork, description), and when it sold, he took care of everything; all we did was sign a few times at the title company. Everything went very smoothly because of Mike. The title company he used was great and easy to deal with as well. We would recommend Mike to anyone selling and would describe him as very personable, friendly, and professional!

Mike Sanford is by far the best broker/realtor I have ever had the pleasure of working with. After regretfully working with a few other non-responsive realtors in the region, I almost gave up. Then I met Mike, and I was more confident in my real estate search than ever. For more than half a year, Mike tirelessly searched for the perfect lot. We walked many large lots together, and his professional insight was invaluable. I always felt like I had his full attention, and I never felt pressured or rushed. Mike is friendly, personable, intuitive, organized, knowledgeable, professional, and motivated. Mike Sanford is a major asset to the entire region, a...

I could not be happier that my casual inquiry with Zillow routed me to Mike Sanford. My wife and I started this process with no information, no background, and only a minimal idea of what we were looking for. In the face of our total ignorance, Mike was patient and generous every step of the way. Once we began to understand our parameters, his knowledge of the area kicked into gear, and he became exactly the sort of guide we needed—never overbearing, never stretching outside of our resources, and always listening. He even gave us the key to deciding between two potential properties. And once we were under contract, Mike was hyper-attentive to every ...

Highly recommend Mike if you are considering the purchase of land or a home in the Santa Fe area. He is very professional, responsive, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. He helped me to find an ideal property without me having to make the trip to NM. Not only did he send me videos of all the candidate lots he met with a number of prospective builders I had, and showed the lots to them. He also provided considerable help with the real estate contract and the negotiations with the seller. I wanted a geotechnical survey done on the property I ended up buying, and Mike helped work all of the issues associated with that. Never any pressure and always ...

Mike Sanford is incredible! I’m pleased to have had the privilege of working with such a pleasant, professional individual. Very unique, personable, and down to earth. My husband and I relocated to New Mexico to find the perfect plot of land to fulfill our homestead vision. Mike’s consistency, attentiveness, and responsiveness to our interests and needs proved his absolute dependability. He’s quick to reply to texts, emails, and/or calls. If ever we had questions or concerns, he would address and resolve them immediately. Throughout the span of over a year, with its highs and lows, Mike's resourcefulness, combined with his expertise, experience, and...

I was hesitant at first to accept a Zillow-provided realtor, but Mike Sanford quickly impressed me with his professionalism and willingness to get out with us to look at some very rural properties. He was great from the start all the way through closing, and in the end, we ended up with the mountain cabin of our dreams at a very fair price. Mike Sanford is highly recommended; he will work hard for you!

Mike worked through some complicated aspects in order to bring our deal to a successful close. Prompt, professional, and thorough. Much appreciated and highly recommended!

Mike made my land purchase really easy. This was simply the best, most stress-free real estate transaction I've ever been part of. I much appreciate that Mike was always available to answer my questions and discuss my concerns. I'm feeling very fortunate to have had his expert help with the entire process.

Mike helped us find a house in Santa Fe during Thanksgiving and Christmas 2021, not an easy task. We highly recommend working with him. We lucked out that Zillow connected us when we first started looking. He has a calmness about him that we appreciated, but at the same time, he was always quick to respond to all our questions and viewing requests. The bonus is that he has experience in construction. Extra bonus, he has some very stylish shoes. Give him a call, find your new home!

Absolutely satisfied with Mike Sanford. Consistently went the extra mile. Very professional, very personable.
