Sanford Alderfer Real Estate Moves Into Third Generation

UPPER SALFORD — It has been six decades since Sanford Alderfer did his first real estate sale in 1959. “In 1960,” he said, “I conducted 28 auctions and sold 28 pieces of real estate.” That doesn’t mean all the real estate was sold at auction, though, he said. Some were, while others were private sales between buyers and sellers.
“Real estate is a very special transition,” said Sandy Alderfer, Sanford’s son and president of Sanford Alderfer Real Estate. “Real estate is the biggest transaction that most people deal with.”
