About Sam – Sam Smith, Realtor

Everyone needs a home…
I am here to help you find yours.

I have not always been a realtor. In fact, I had never aspired to work in real estate at all.

My mother had some influence on me in that direction as a young child. She always wanted to look at houses, and even when our family was not intending to move she would ask her realtor friend to show her a house or two.

The truth is, I was self-employed in 2011, doing contract work in website design, writing, graphics design/production, and event planning, when I met an agent who would become my mentor. I was helping to develop branding for a city event, and she was on the planning team. Soon after that project was done, I asked her for a price opinion on my house, and she asked me to join her real estate team.

That’s when I found out that I’d been waiting my whole life for this career.

My ethic is based on the greatest commandments: Love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul and all your strength, and Love your neighbor as yourself.

Matthew 22: 37-40; Mark 12:30-31; Luke 10:27 also Deuteronomy 6:4-7.
