Testimonials
Fabulous – Sam truly seemed like an expert and knew what we needed to do to sell our home!
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.
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
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.
Top-notch on all counts. Thank you so much for everything. Will certainly be recommending you to friends in the future.
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.
One word – exemplary! After careful consideration I can only come up with one suggestion – clone Sam!
Excellent – got the job done as we were told, and closing happened right on schedule.
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!
I worked with Sam to sell my Queen Anne home. Sam was thorough, professional, extremely knowledgeable of the area and how best to position my home for success. Very happy with the outcome and highly recommend Sam and his team.
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.
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.
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 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.
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!
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!
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!
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.
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!
