Testimonials
Excellent – got the job done as we were told, and closing happened right on schedule.
Excellent! Sam is truly a cut above!
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!
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.
His sincerity was really remarkable.
Thank you for a positive, professional experience! Sam & team are the experts of Queen Anne. We will recommend and would love to work together in the future. Thanks for understanding our need and selling our condo in record timing (5 days is unreal)!
We engaged Sam to facilitate our home search last fall. He added expert advice on everything from neighborhood value, home potential, remodeling costs, to optimizing offers for success. By spring, we had a much clearer idea of the home we wanted and found the perfect one. In a competitive bidding situation, our bid won. Sam backed our decisions the whole way and we couldn’t imagine a better professional to have on our team. Thanks to Sam’s negotiating skill, we avoided a costly escalating bidding war and won with a second place bid potentially saving over $100k! Sam’s firm also handled selling our townhome. There, we had a seamless transaction with excellent terms and an over-asking price.
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.
Sam was my agent selling my home. If you want an honest, hard-working realtor, this is the guy. Sam spends his own money to market and sell your home. He will become your friend after you have closed on your real estate.
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.
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.
The service is excellent! I can’t think of anything that would have made this transaction go any easier!
Really enjoyed working with Sam. He sold our house quickly for a great price. He has great resources for readying your house or addressing any needs prior to listing. He has extensive experience with the negotiation process which went smoothly for us.
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!
Outstanding! Sam worked very hard for us and knows the business well. Also, he was an absolute pleasure to spend time with.
His loyalty to our family’s welfare above his own commission was demonstrated.
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!
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.
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!
I think Sam is a very gifted real estate person. I have worked with him for years. Anyone especially wanting to focus on the Seattle location of homes and condominiums available, should work with Sam. He has an uncanny ability to know about places that are just ready to come on the market. He goes the extra mile in trying to meet your needs, as well as expose you to a broad selection possibilities. He is capable, and energized and truly cares. He has been in the business for many years and has the professional knowledge needed, but he has also has practical knowledge, which is so necessary when buying or selling a home.
Excellent, professional, and above and beyond expectations! Sam listened, put energy into the pursuit of the right house, always answered our calls promptly, advised us well, and we felt we could trust him, because he is a person of integrity. Sam listened to what we wanted and needed. After having a different home fall through (when Sam was not our agent), and after looking for some time, we were ready to give up until spring. Sam persevered. He heard about this house that fit the description of our needs and called us. He encouraged us to pursue it, even though we were faint-hearted. His faith was strong when ours was weak. We are so thankful to the Lord and for Sam who was his instrument in our lives to pull it all together.
Working with Sam was an outstanding experience. Not only did he negotiate a purchase of our dream home at significantly less than asking, he then sold our old house off market with a 20 day close. I feel so fortunate to have worked with Sam and truly do not believe another broker could have pulled it off. Thank you Sam!
Sam was great! He’s a very straightforward, no nonsense kind of person. He gave us honest opinions, which we appreciated. He is very experienced and knowledgeable and helped us craft a winning bid. I felt totally comfortable with him
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!
