Read moreI can not recommend, or say enough about how fantastic Sam is. We had an extremely challenging transaction with initial Sellers over a lenghtly period. Sam was present, available, calming, knowlegeable, supporting and resourceful through the entirety. His calm and rationale, yet empathetic, professional demeanor was the perfect approcah. He helped us navigate a challenging time and found us the home we where meant to be in! Being new to the RFV, Sam brought a wealth of knowledge and experience to our transaction and our move process.
