About Sam
Sam was first introduced to the real estate industry at an early age by his mother, a DMV realtor. Starting in 1989 Sam would help her prepare for open houses, install signs, and stage homes. Now, a real estate professional himself, that know-how has been ingrained in him. Combining his real estate expertise with a passion for marketing and negotiating, Sam helps his clients to maximize results and achieve their goals.
Sam began his career in politics and political advocacy for trade associations, allowing him to hone his skills in negotiation and communication. While Sam enjoyed his work in government relations on The Hill, he realized his passion for marketing and decided to pursue his interest in real estate. A DC area native, Sam is well positioned to advise clients on selling, investing, buying, or renting properties inside the beltway. Sam has the local knowledge and expertise to guide you to the best possible outcome.
If you are looking for the best places to play golf, tennis, cycle, ski, need a recommendation for a local restaurant, or shopping in neighborhoods across the DMV, just give him a call. On his down time, Sam is out exploring the many attractions the DC Metro Area has to offer.
"As a first time home buyer I was nervous about finding the right place in DC. I was referred to Sam who is truly a master of his craft. He has exceptional knowledge of the market in the DMV area. We must have looked at nearly 100 places together before I found the right place. Although I was probably a handful to work with, he was extremely responsive and always made himself available. Real estate runs in his blood. Great 5 star experience all around." - Mark

"Sam was very knowledgeable of Arlington, having lived his entire life here. He was very responsive, attentive, and available. He gave honest assessments of properties and neighborhoods, and was aware of future development projects, local knowledge, etc. We were able to close on a house very quickly with Sam, even while conducting most of the process from our prior house in Seattle. I highly recommend Sam" - Jeff and Kim

During the negotiations, Sam provided sound recommendations, but still advocated my final decision when moving forward. While under , Sam kept me up to date on my closing checklist and was very prompt at scheduling the inspection, closing times, and the final walk through.
