Trustworthy and Honest. How many people use those two words when describing their Real Estate Agent? I stumbled upon Sam while perusing Trulia, looking for a home in Santa Cruz. When I reached out to see if I could view one of his listings, instead of rushing to make an appointment, he took the time to get to know our family’s needs. He really listened. He actually steered me away from his listing and recommended looking at a house off-market. In this environment of such low inventory, it was amazing to find someone who knew the market so well! He is such a wealth of knowledge – he knew what neighborhood would be family-friendly and have the best schools for us. He skillfully guided us through a very long escrow, and we now own this wonderful home. He helped us through each step of the way with a helping hand and a friendly face. He was always honest, patient, gentle, and amazingly informative. We would not have landed our home without his help. I can’t recommend Sam enough.

Purchasing a home on the Lower Westside of Santa Cruz seemed like an impossible project. As quickly as properties were listed, they were sold, usually at well above the asking price. We first met Sam at an open house, and while that listing didn’t work out for us, he offered to spend a rainy winter day driving us to look at every house on the market so he could get a better idea of just what we were looking for. A short time later, he called to say he had located an off-market house he thought we should see. Sam represented us through the complex process of inspections, negotiations, offers, counter-offers and a seemingly endless number of documents. Throughout the entire transaction, he was a calm presence, patient, professional and always available to answer questions. Thanks to Sam we purchased a great house at below the asking price! Since then he has kept in touch and as a Santa Cruz resident, he has been a great source of information and referrals. Sam was thorough and dependable and I recommend him highly.

Sam was great to work with. My boyfriend and I knew where we wanted to buy our home but were having difficulty getting the sales office for the new development to contact us back. We were on a tight timeline to move with a baby on the way and as soon as we hired Sam we had a meeting and viewings within the week. He then helped guide us through the buying process and got us into our dream home with time to spare. Trying to move while pregnant can be stressful but Sam took away that anxiety and thanks to him we have time to settle in before the baby arrives. He was available day and night for questions and advice. This was my first home buying experience and he made it much easier than I expected it to be. Thanks, Sam!

Working with Sam was awesome from day 1 for both my fiancé and I. We knew absolutely nothing about real estate or the buying process and the thought of purchasing a home along with moving and planning a wedding was super stressful. Sam made it easy and stress free for us. My fiancé and I had a blast looking at houses with Sam and we eventually found one we could see ourselves sharing our lives in. In a competitive market with multiple bidders he helped us write the winning offer on the house and location we wanted. Sam was super helpful through the whole closing process and continues to check in on us even after the deal closed and we moved in. Highly recommend Sam and his team to anyone looking for real estate in Santa Cruz County.

We could not be more satisfied with Sam Bird Robinson as our real estate agent!! He was kind and calm throughout our out-of-state search for a house in Santa Cruz. He is knowledgeable as well as patient. He never once dropped the reins and he was always there to take our calls. Sam asked all the right questions in order to help us find that perfect fit house for us. His commitment and support were unyielding. His support staff was also terrific -available and clear in communications. We made it through a cross-country search with a 1031 exchange with Sam as our guide and we absolutely and without any reservations recommend him as the best Realtor® in Santa Cruz. We love OUR house! Thank you, Sam.

I’m so glad I had Sam’s help during the purchase of my home in Santa Cruz! Being a first-time buyer in a competitive market was intimidating, but Sam made sure I had all the information I needed to make good decisions, explained everything throughout each step of the process, and always checked in to see if I needed anything. He made me feel confident and comfortable throughout what could have been a stressful experience, and I can’t thank him enough!

I am incredibly pleased to have worked with Sam on my first home purchase. Any obstacle was quickly communicated and cleared, and within three weeks from the start of our search, I was closing on my first home.

I can't say enough good things about Sam after our experience with him as our Realtor® for our first home purchase. We're fortunate to call him a friend as well, and I would say that he strives to make friends with all of his clients so that he can really understand them and what they are looking for. As a young parent himself, he is passionate about helping young families stay in Santa Cruz, and he succeeds. He searched persistently for us for a long time, and he used his connections to find us an off-market home in the exact area we wanted. He also worked very hard to negotiate a fair price for everyone involved. He is very responsive and present as a Realtor®, and he supports you through the emotional roller coaster that is buying a home with patient guidance and humor. I've already recommended him to others, and I will continue to do so.

Sam helped us navigate the process of buying our first home. He is very knowledgeable and was a pleasure to work with. He took the time to get to know us, which really helped us find the home that was right for us. And when we found it, Sam was ready to spring into action. His instinct helped us put in the offer that was chosen over multiple other offers in the competitive Santa Cruz housing market. We simply couldn’t have purchased our dream home without Sam’s help and he continued to check in with us and let us know that he was there for us even after we signed.

Sam was the absolute best Realtor® we could have hoped for. We came to him during the holiday season when there was very little inventory, and yet he managed to find us the perfect home before it was officially on the market. This is what he does on a daily basis: listening to his clients, verifying regularly that everyone is on the same page, and then searching painstakingly for the right property. But that is just where the process begins. He connected us with an excellent loan officer as well as local tradesmen who will help us make the house our own. We are “older” clients, and things have grown far more complex than when we last bought a home, but Sam was always right there with sound advice and guidance. He navigated the complexities of the process with an instructive intelligence that helped us be calm, rational, and patient in what at first seemed an impossibly daunting undertaking. We will be forever grateful.
