Testimonials
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.
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!
Marcel was simply fantastic. Incredibly proactive, responsive, intelligent, and exceeded my expectations on all levels. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to sell their home!
Top notch! Sam is the BEST! Everything was thought of and handled with care and professionalism.
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.
Overall the service was excellent. We appreciated the counsel in staging and pricing. We especially appreciated the work Sam did in the fine negotiations on the selling price. We can easily recommend Queen Anne Real Estate to others!
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.
Friendly, timely, supportive, very knowledgeable. The service received made all the difference in the easy speed of the sale. I will work with Sam again and recommend him to all.
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.
Sam provided us with exceptional service, counsel and support.
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!
Thank you for everything you do. I’m so glad you’re in my world.
The best imaginable…it was an excellent experience! Sam is quite simply THE BEST! I would refer him to anyone who wants to work with a knowledgeable adult.
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!
Exceptional- We met with three potential agents. One priced our condo at $378K. The second suggested $399K. Sam advised $445K. The condo sold in one day for $457,300. What more could we ask for?
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 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!
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)!
His loyalty to our family’s welfare above his own commission was demonstrated.
Excellent! Sam is truly a cut above!
One word – exemplary! After careful consideration I can only come up with one suggestion – clone Sam!
Ashley made our sell and purchase absolutely delightful. Both, her personal skills and real state knowledge helped us to avoid any potential headaches that are usually encountered in transactions like these. Ashley just rocks!
Exemplary. The epitome of professionalism and courteousness.
We used Sam in the purchase of our first home. If you’re looking for someone who knows almost everyone in the Queen Anne and Magnolia areas then he’s your guy. He helped us find a house that hadn’t come on the market, put an offer together and we never had to deal with the Seattle bidding wars.
