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.

Michael Tagg was wonderful and stuck with us through some of the most changing needs, job change, and many twists and turns. He was available every time I needed him, and helped me understand many things that were lost and confusing to me. 10/10, my NRV realtor for life.

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!

Jay and his team were fantastic to work with! They made the process smooth and stress free. We could not be more pleased and thankful for them!

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

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.

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!

2026-04-14T22:48:37.889Z

Michael did an awesome job helping us in the buying and selling process. He always responded in a timely fashion and was very knowledgeable whenever we had any questions.

2026-04-12T23:47:34.759Z

Michael was amazing to work with from beginning to end. He really knows what he’s doing and explained everything in a way that made us feel comfortable the whole time. He was easy to reach, quick to respond, and made the entire process so much smoother than we expected. We genuinely appreciated how much care and attention he put into everything. We’d definitely recommend him to anyone looking for someone honest, helpful, and great to work with.

2026-04-08T18:15:24.213Z

Michael was patient with our search which as seniors had specific needs. He was professional in every aspect of the process and it was a pleasure working with him. Highly recommended.

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.

My husband and I had a wonderful experience with Jay and Sandy. They were so thoughtful when helping us choose homes to see. It was apparent they had an abundance of experience when discussing our options between homes, as well as negotiation strategy. We came up with some curve balls for them during our short trip to town, but they navigated it seamlessly and helped us find our dream home.

2026-03-20T20:57:49.900Z

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

Paige, Jay and Sandy all put their whole effort to help sell my property during a difficult market, offering suggestions that helped make my property more attractive to a future buyer. Since I was 4 hours away, we did everything long distance, and I relied on their knowledge and experience heavily as I was at the disadvantage. They knew the right people to get the finishing touches done, and were my eyes to be sure it was done right. I definitely recommend this amazing team! SOLD!

2026-02-26T17:28:08.880Z

Jay and his team do an outstanding job throughout the whole process. They know the game and the lay of the land better than anyone and they invest in you as people. They don't just want to get you a house, they want to invest in your family, your future, and see your wealth grow in real estate to the best of their ability. Their process is seamless and communication is timely and thorough. You can trust them with one of the biggest financial and life decisions you will ever make.

2026-02-24T18:18:00.881Z

Michael was truly exceptional to work with ! He was quick and ready to answer all my first time homeowners and homebuyers questions. I will definitely recommend him for sure to anyone who ask about a great realtor!

2026-01-30T17:46:26.116Z

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.

2025-12-15T20:04:36.521Z

Fabulous experience with this group! Professional, down-to-earth, "real" people who listen to concerns and help any way they can to smooth the process for buyers. This is our 2nd time working with Jay, and we will definitely be working with this group to sell our home in the near future.Couldn't do better than Mandell Real Estate!

2025-11-30T00:15:39.111Z

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!

2025-11-22T17:50:14.248Z

We felt at home looking for our house with Jay, Sandy, and Alex. They were wonderfully communicative from the very beginning and got an understanding of what we were looking for. When our options were narrowed down, they helped set priorities and created the perfect schedule to accommodate our plans and needs. Would highly recommend the team to anyone looking for a new home!

2025-11-21T19:41:52.906Z

It's too bad that the purchase of a home isn’t a more common occurrence because I will miss working with this group of people. Jay, Sandy, and Alex are absolutely fantastic and I cannot recommend them enough. They took time to understand our needs, wants, and future "nice to haves." They went the extra step to get us a home that checked off boxes we didn't know we had, leveraging their expertise each step of the journey.

2025-11-17T18:46:12.432Z

Paige went above and beyond to get us into our first home. She throughly explained the process with us and made sure each home we looked at would be safe for us. Paige is very respectful, understanding, responsive, and caring. We would 10/10 recommend Paige especially if you are buying for the first time. Paige is a very outgoing and upfront person which is a blessing when it comes to buying. We are so incredibly thankful to have worked with such an amazing realtor!

2025-11-01T17:26:44.972Z

Paige guided us on being able to sell our house at a higher amount than we anticipated. When we were looking for our next house she quickly understood our wants and needs and we were able to find our next house quickly. She answered all our questions timely and went above and beyond as our realtor. We are very pleased with Paige and very appreciative for MR Realty for all their hard work on making our selling & buying as painless as possible!

2025-10-12T21:30:10.284Z

Jay and Paige were an absolute pleasure to work with on selling our townhouse. They offered excellent suggestions on what to do before listing, were always available to answer questions or provide updates, and ultimately helped us sell our property over asking price. We couldn’t be happier with the experience and highly recommend them!

2025-10-09T17:28:00.183Z

They made buying an easy and enjoyable experience.

2025-09-24T23:29:28.602Z

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!

2025-09-17T20:12:19.759Z

Paige was a joy to work with.

2025-09-07T00:59:02.856Z

Thanks for helping us close on an amazing home very close to grandkids! You guys are awesome!

2025-06-26T15:08:37.310Z

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!
