About Samantha
Born and raised in Marin County, Sam moved to Tahoe over 30 years ago to live the lifestyle her clients seek. She began her real estate career in 1998 and shares over 25 years of Tahoe/Truckee real estate sales with her clients.

Sam prides herself on being authentic, tenacious, and adventurous. She goes beyond the status quo when it comes to helping her clients stage and prepares a home for sale. Passionate about interior design and a perfect online presentation, she is well known for going the extra mile to ensure a seamless and successful transaction for all of her clients. A testament to why over 80% of her business comes from repeat clients and referrals.

Sam has intimate knowledge of Tahoe’s most sought-after lifestyle communities ranging from ski-in/ski-out to golf course to lakefronts and new construction. She understands the disclosures, homeowner commitments, and governing bodies that a buyer or seller may encounter across the region’s diverse collection of communities.

Sam’s name is well known and respected in Tahoe City and surrounding areas. Sam’s husband, Jeff has been as local since the 60’s where he owns and operates the family hardware store in Tahoe City with the family namesake. Sam’s connections in this community go far beyond real estate and she encourages her clients to reach out with any questions following the buying process.

Sam lives in Truckee with her husband. Their two sons Shane 22, and Bennett 19 are in professional off-road sports and school at San Diego State respectively. Sam enjoys hiking, camping, cheering on the SF Giants, waterskiing, XC skiing, and spending time with her Alaskan Malamutes and Golden Retriever.

Client Testimonials

★★★★★
"We just wanted to send you a quick note of thanks in regard to our appreciation for your professionalism and attention to our objectives. As we are out of town buyers, we have been extremely confused over making a decision between two Northstar luxury homes. Despite the many pictures, videos, and even virtual walkthrough presentations, nothing was more helpful than the FaceTime calls (we used google duo) you suggested we have. It was enough to finally allow us to cement a decision between the two homes. We look forward to purchasing this home and establishing roots in the area. Thanks, Sam, you’re the best! " - Mark & Cyn

★★★★★
"Sam has sold two houses for us at Lake Tahoe. She gets your property ready and on the market very quickly. She is knowledgeable and caring, and has a great eye for design and staging. We are very pleased and thankful to have her as our realtor®." - Bruce and Tina

★★★★★
" Samantha's knowledge of the Tahoe area was instrumental in helping us find our home in Truckee. Sam handled the challenges of a long distance home search in combination with the pandemic like a pro which helped result in the purchase of our home in May 2020 at Martis Camp. Sam listened to our preferences and went above and beyond with virtual tours and information gathering in order to accommodate our long distance home search. She continues to help us in many areas as we settle into our home and learn more about the community. We couldn't be happier with our purchase and experiences with Sam. " - Mike and Nicole Gerdin

★★★★★
"Sam is incredible ! She had my house sold in 4 days and was there to support the escrow through all the inspections and beyond. Sam knows the market and knows how to get things done right and closed. If you have plan or a goal, she’ll tell you how to get it done, then she’ll get it done. She is the best." - Karl

★★★★★
"Samantha went above all to find the right buyers for my property. She worked daily with the buyers and their agent to make sure all went as planned. I would definitely recommend her to anyone that is looking to buy or sell in the Truckee/Lake Tahoe area. She is very knowledgeable in her field and will guide you through the steps necessary to make sure everyone is happy with the outcome." - Nancy

★★★★★
"Our experience with Samantha was nothing short of excellent. She took a potentially stressful situation (us relocating to a new, somewhat unfamiliar area) and made it pleasant, enjoyable and fun. Her local contacts are unparalleled and she was really able to comfort us and find the dream home we were looking for. We were only able to make several trips to the area to look at homes during our buying window, and she made sure to maximize the time we spent up there looking at as many homes as possible. She was honest, organized, and direct, all of which we appreciate very much. We’re all moved in and we couldn’t be happier with our decision!" - Jed and Gyia
