Sami was an absolutely amazing agent! We were also moving in to our new home at the same time and so weren’t able to focus a lot of attention on selling our home. If it weren’t for Sami, we wouldn’t have been able to put our home on the market. He handled every single detail. His team did a wonderful job and I don’t think our house ever looked better. I would recommend him in a heartbeat!

Sami has a deep knowledge of the area and is very helpful in pointing out aspects of a home that might not be obvious - both positive and negative. He can spot hidden potential in a home. He was excellent is guiding me through the offer process, which can be a challenge.

Our RedFin agent in Pittsburgh PA connected us with Sami to sell our Oakland CA home after we mentioned not being comfortable with an agent from another large realty firm. Up against a tight relocation schedule, we met Sami and talked as we showed him our Hills property with amazing water and bridge views. Sami loved the home and appreciated its uniqueness. We liked his guiding principle or approach: treat the sale as if it was his own home. Accordingly, Sami provided sound advice at every stage, brought an amazing designer in; had various tradespeople to call on; guided us through the challenges with City of Oakland to sell your home. Once the property was ready to show, Sami provided superb marketing, amazing photography and multiple open houses. We had moved to Pittsburgh and he... Show More

Sami is the best and only realtor I would work with to buy a house! He is professional, supportive, diligent, and experienced. What I loved most about working with Sami is he did not pressure or overwhelm me and was always calm. He was always looking out for me in a competitive real estate market and it's thanks to him I finally own my first house!

Sami far exceeded my expectations as a listing agent. He told me exactly what to do to get my property ready to list. He was helpful and encouraging when I was exhausted from hours of painting. Once I final conceded that I couldn't do everything myself, Sami referred me to vendors within my budget. The property was listed on Thursday, had multiple offers on Monday, and went into contract on the following Tuesday. When selecting the best offer, he was considerate of all options. He did not just rush me towards the highest offer but really spent time to review all the offers. Everything went so smooth and the escrow closed in just over two weeks. It honestly went better than I ever could have hoped. If you list your property with Sami, just follow his advice and you will be very happy... Show More

Sami was dedicated to finding the right property for me. He helped me ensure that there were unseen issues. And helped negotiate a better price than I thought we could get. Gave 100%. Would highly recommend him.
