This note was recently posted unsolicited by a former client that summarizes how I want my clients to feel about the service they receive:
“Sam is more than a broker; he is a Real Estate Consultant. He is knowledgeable, an excellent communicator of complicated real estate information, and always keeps his clients’ best interests front and center. Truly a class act, Sam is who I depend on when it comes to anything related to real estate.”
As a St. Thomas Hospital executive for almost 20 years and now with more than 20 years as a residential Real Estate agent, I understand the client is at the very center of the services I provide. While working with clients, my education in Social Work ensures that I completely understand their needs and approach the client’s purchase or selling of Real Estate from a position of “win/win” – not “win/lose.”
90% of my business is from referrals of friends, business associates, and former clients – this is the best recommendation I can get. Since I take my work seriously, I have my Broker’s License, GRI, and am accredited as a CRS (equivalent to a PhD for Real Estate with < 4% of all NAR Members having this credential). I am consistently recognized as one of the Greater Nashville REALTORS® Awards of Excellence winners, which is based on sales volume and activity.
Let me help you with your Real Estate needs, whatever they might be, and working together, we can help you make room to grow.
