“Sam and his team are great! He helped us navigated the complicated housing market of Santa Cruz as first time home buyers. He was very patient with us and helped us find a house that had everything that we wanted! He was also very easy to talk to and guided us through the entire buying process. He took the time to answer all the questions we had at every step (and we had a lot of questions), and explained documents like inspections and disclosures. We felt very well represented through the negotiation process and always felt like Sam had our back.”
“My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Sam when we purchased our home in Scotts Valley. Sam was always available and more than willing to answer or advise us on any question or concern we experienced. He found us our lovely home in Skypark as it hit the market! It was a perfect fit and met all of our criteria. Thanks to Sam we are settled and so happy in our new home.”
“I had a very positive and seamless experience working with Sam and his team on the sale of my home in Aptos. Everyone on this team is honest, organized and professional on every level. They sold my home above asking price in less than two weeks with no complications-- what more could you ask for? I would highly recommend this team to anyone interested in buying or selling a home in the Santa Cruz area.”
“I had the pleasure of working with Sam as my real estate agent, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From the very beginning, Sam was incredibly attentive and worked within my budget to find the right fit. He was always responsive, answering any questions or concerns I had promptly and thoroughly. What truly set Sam apart was his fantastic insight and perspective on potential homes. He provided thoughtful advice, helping me see the pros and cons of each property without ever pressuring me to make a decision. If anything, he made sure I was aware of the “cons”, which I found very helpful. It was clear that he was focused on making sure I found the right house for my needs, rather than simply closing a deal. Highly recommended.”
“I first contacted Sam after seeing a house on the Westside that had really caught my eye. After our initial phone call I realized how knowledgeable he was and how quickly he was able to answer all my questions. After our first viewing of the house I knew I wanted to put in an offer. Sam gave me amazing advice and I felt confident in the offer we put together. We were fortunate to close with all items on our offer accepted and we did not have to go back and forth at all. He continues to check on us after we moved in to make sure we are happy with our home. We are so happy with our decision to use Sam and could not recommend him more to any future buyers or sellers. Thanks again for everything!”
“Sam helped us buy a duplex in the Seabright neighborhood that we wouldn't have known about unless he had brought it to us. We were in a multiple offer situation against two other buyers and almost lost the deal, but he negotiated to make sure we got it! We never thought it would be possible to get a property like this, but he made it happen for us. I was also very impressed with how quickly his support team worked and communicated! If it wasn't for him, we would still be paying rent!”
“I highly recommend Sam Bird- Robinson for anyone buying or selling a home. The Sam App is a great tool that keeps everyone updated throughout the process. The whole team was a pleasure to work with, and they made things easy, especially since I wasn't familiar with the details of the property. A few years ago, Sam also referred me to a great contractor who rebuilt my rental property's deck. I'm a very happy customer, and Sam and his team went above and beyond my expectations!”
“Charles and Sam were absolutely incredible to work with! They made the entire home buying process organized and far less stressful than my first experience. Their attention to detail, responsiveness, deep knowledge of the area and genuine care for us as clients truly set them apart. They went above and beyond to ensure everything was handled seamlessly. I can’t recommend them enough—if you're looking for supportive realtors, look no further than this dynamic duo!”
“Our experience working with Sam B-R and team to purchase our condo in downtown Santa Cruz was phenomenal from start to finish. We felt informed and cared for throughout the entire transaction, and communication was always prompt, informative, and action-oriented. Sam helped us think through our priorities, anticipated our needs, and gave us useful frameworks to evaluate and feel confident in our decisions at each juncture. The team at COMPASS kept things moving along at a rapid pace without making us feel rushed or pressured, and got us to a successful closing within roughly a month of the initial offer. We absolutely recommend Sam B-R for any and all real estate endeavors and would definitely work with him again in the future.”
