Testimonials
Excellent! Sam is very knowledgeable on real estate issues and particularly excellent on the Queen Anne area. Sam’s expertise on preparing our house for sale was extremely valuable – the perfect combination of what to upgrade & what to leave as is. Sam’s availability to us, either in person or by phone, was always immediate. Sam has high energy and enthusiasm that resulted in a most successful result in the immediate selling of our home. We would whole-heartedly recommend him as an agent.
We met Sam at an open house years ago and within minutes of chatting with him, we knew he was our guy. We have now used him to buy/sell 2 houses. He knows QA better than any agent and was able to sell our house in the middle of a pandemic when other houses listed around us were not moving. His co-lister Kimberly Johnson was also amazing to work with. Thank you for everything Sam!
Sam sold my first home 5 years ago, and since then I have referred him to countless friends to sell or buy a home, and he never disappoints! He is hands down the most knowledgeable, professional, patient, thoughtful agent in town. There are so many to choose from that can turn out to be wolves in sheep’s clothing…but Sam is a good human and outstanding business man to boot. We just bought a home with him again, and we won a bidding war and overcame MANY complications throughout the closing, but he persevered on our behalf and have our dream home! Sam is THE best.
Professional, responsive, tailored. Sam is knowledgeable and communicative. He understood our needs and represented us well.
Sam was there for me every step of the way through both transactions. Sam made every stressful time much more bearable. Of course, he is an excellent negotiator and strategist when it comes to real estate transactions. There is no one else I would want to have represent me!
If I could bottle the experience so I could reproduce it, I would. If I could change anything about the experience it would be that we would’ve worked with Sam from the beginning.
Jeff was so personable and professional and was a great guide for us, as we were new to Seattle. He was always there for us, day and night, if we had questions. He worked so hard for us, and his knowledge and experience secured us a great deal. I feel we were so lucky to have him in our corner as our agent. Really can’t say enough positive things about Jeff. He’s outstanding!
Sam is an incredible realtor. When my husband and I started the process of looking for homes and talking with realtors, Sam instantly stood out as what you hope for in a realtor, but often don’t find. Sam is extremely intelligent and knowledgeable about real estate basics as well as being an extremely savvy business man looking to find the best value for his clients. He listened to and respected the list of what we wanted in a house, while serving as a trusted partner voicing his informed perspective on which houses would be the best investment for us. When we were ready to put in an offer, Sam worked hard to ensure we understood every step and that we were presenting the best possible offer that balanced our guardrails and also what would be competitive. In the end, our offer was accepted over three others (one of which was all cash!). I attribute this to Sam’s expertise, relationships and willingness to go the extra mile for his clients. Even after our offer was accepted, Sam closely watched our loan approval and closing process to ensure we crossed the finish line smoothly. And now that we’re in our house, he has been a valuable (and responsive) asset for connections to plumbers, roofers, etc. I cannot recommend Sam highly enough!
Excellent advice and assistance in staging home for sale. I appreciated the many ways you reduced the stress and complication of making the sale. Negotiation was very good. Great work overall. Thank you! Your expertise and hard work was invaluable.
Sam is the best, most knowledgeable, honest/high integrity, and well connected real estate pro in the city. Sam and his team have never let us down, we’ve bought and sold multi-million dollar property in less than 4 weeks with no issues. Sam and his team were excellent.
Excellent – got the job done as we were told, and closing happened right on schedule.
Jeff was incredibly attentive and responsive during our house search! He easily accommodated our needs and schedules and gave us space to create our own opinions about homes and neighborhoods. Never did we feel rushed to make offers. His patience, attention to detail and communication are second to none. Best realtor we’ve had!
Sam surpassed our expectations in every way, which is not an easy thing to do. We feel that if we had not used Sam, we would have been at a huge disadvantage in the transaction. We will recommend him to everyone we know.
Marcel was an absolute pleasure to work with. Knowledgeable, patient, and always available. We will be sure to use him again in the future, and would highly recommend you to do the same!
I have actually purchased two homes from Sam and find him to be the most straightforward and knowledgeable realtor I have ever worked with. Often realtors focus their efforts on figuring out what you are willing to spend and matching you to properties they think you might buy. Sam took time to understand a bit about how we live, our preferences and pet peeves, as well as our longer term goals. In both cases he matched us with perfect homes for us. Further, he continued to follow-up on any outstanding issues and made sure we were completely satisfied with our purchases, long after they closed. The thing about Sam that sticks out to me is that he doesn’t need to work as hard as he does. He is by far the most successful realtor in the area. Despite that, he is unrelenting in taking care of his clients. I believe that this is because he truly loves what he does and that is reflected in his results. He loves helping people. BTW, my friends who have sold through him have had similar experiences. I cannot recommend him enough!
Sam is hands down the most knowledgeable agent for Queen Anne, and is not only a fantastic agent, but also just a great advisor for all things related to buying/selling your home and the financial market. I interviewed several agents but always knew Sam was the agent I wanted to work with, and he definitely went above and beyond my expectations to help sell the house quickly and for top dollar. He provided several honest suggestions on house improvements that would help the house sell quickly, and he has a very friendly and reliable team that move fast to make your home look its best before listing. In addition to making helpful house improvement suggestions, he is also extremely flexible, responsive, and provides full end-to-end service. This includes staging, a great photographer that does aerial drone shots and 3D renderings of your home, landscaping, and is completely unfazed when unexpected situations come up. He’s a total pro, honest, transparent, and goes to bat to help you negotiate the best deal for your home. Don’t think twice if you’re looking for a great agent in the Queen Anne neighborhood — there’s nobody else that knows the neighborhood inside out like he does! Even though I moved out of the Seattle area, I still sought Sam’s advice for buying in a different state. You can’t go wrong working with Sam!
I worked with Ashley and her team to sell my Queen Anne home. I cannot say enough great things about her. She knew the area, she helped prepare the home, gave open and honest recommendations of how to enhance the view and value of it and had incredible trust and respect for her through the entire process. I highly recommend Ashley and team.
One word – exemplary! After careful consideration I can only come up with one suggestion – clone Sam!
Thank you so much for all your help in finding our new home! We really appreciated your flexibility and honest opinions. Between having a new baby and buying a house, our lives were pretty stressful, but you helped make it as easy as possible.
What a true pleasure to do business with you and your team of professionals – so many thanks! I really appreciated how easy you made the process for me and obviously, the results are just great. I’m so pleased to be moving on to a new phase in my life on such a high note.
Fabulous – Sam truly seemed like an expert and knew what we needed to do to sell our home!
A close friend recommended that we talk to Sam to help us sell our house. Sam was very nice, understanding of our situation and very professional. He took care of every single thing, I barely had to be involved in the process which took away the stress and anxiety that usually go during selling/buying a house. Our house was listed, viewed and we got an offer in less than a week after listing! This is how amazing Sam is! He worked tirelessly with his team and got the job done! I am forever grateful to have worked with Sam, and I highly recommend his services!
