I have had the pleasure of knowing John Sandlin for many years and am pleased to call him not only a client but also a friend.  He and his team at Clarendon really define what it means to be a professional.  I have worked with many developers during my career in banking and few can match the experience, dedication, and work ethic of the team at Clarendon.  Development is not for the faint of heart – I like to say that if it were easy, then everyone would do it.  Lending into these types of projects is complicated and I so appreciate that John makes it easy – his team is always prepared and has a great eye for detail.  I know exactly what to expect with each and every transaction and that is a testament to this team’s experience and know how.  They are truly exceptional in every sense of the word.

I highly recommend John Sandlin and the Clarendon Properties team as a partner and real estate developer.
We have partnered with John and his team to develop seven hotel properties and numerous commercial projects. John is a dedicated worker and one of the smartest real estate developers I have encountered. I have relied on his expertise for site selection and deal structure of our developments.
He and his team have a clear understanding of all facets of construction, financial processes, and communicate each step in a timely manner.

Our experiences helping to design new construction hotels, with Clarendon Properties, over the years have turned into some of our very favorite projects to date.  With every new venture, their insightfulness to integrate the community and research the local interests and culture, ensures not only the success of a beautiful new building, but the excitement and support of the hotel’s hometown.  We’re continually impressed by the creative ways Gale and the team draw involvement from local schools and art organizations; creating memorable and unique experiences for everyone.  On top of the blessing of working on some truly amazing projects, working alongside the Clarendon team is a true privilege.  They’re friendly, knowledgeable, incredibly hardworking, and know how to get the job done both confidently and well.
