We were surprised by a renoviction during one of the most difficult times to rent in Toronto history, and when we started our search, we were very pessimistic. But working with Samantha changed everything: she is warm, understanding, and sympathetic to the problems we were facing, but realistic and upfront with us about what our options were and what we should be looking for. She worked with us for months and we saw dozens of apartments with her. With her advice and expertise, we were able to confidently wait things out a bit until we found the perfect place and couldn't be happier! She was with us every step of the way, and even secured a last-minute meeting with our new landlord to help secure the apartment with almost no notice. Samantha was always there when we needed her and had the answer to every question, and I will definitely be going to her in the future for any realtor needs. - Julien

Samantha is the least real estate-y real estate agent, and we cannot think of a bigger compliment than that. She made us feel comfortable enough to ask dumb questions without fear of judgment, and she asked us great questions so we could get to the heart of what we needed to do to get our forever home. We were initially skeptical of her advice to write a personal letter to the sellers, but the sellers themselves told us it had a huge impact in their decision to sell to us. So not only does she have terrific instincts - no doubt due to her huge, empathetic heart - but she is also extremely knowledgeable and dedicated to her craft. When initially researching agents to hire, we saw she had taken a negotiating course when no other candidate had. We would not hesitate to recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a true and trusted partner to sell or buy a home. She helped us get our forever home, and we will forever be grateful!

We reached out to Samantha after a friend recommended her to us, and we are so glad we did! Not only did she have lots of insights and tips for navigating the current rental market, she also secured a place for us much faster than we could have hoped for. A joy to work with, very approachable and professional, respectful not only to us but also the tenants of places we looked at. It is evident how much she cares for her clients, which was very important to us in this process. I can only recommend Samantha. - F. Guccini

Samantha was extremely helpful and knowledgeable in guiding me as a first-time buyer moving back to Toronto. As a single person looking to live alone, I was worried I might not have a lot of options within my budget but Samantha was able to help me focus on my must-haves (like transit access) and found a variety of potential places. Samantha was generous with her time and accommodating of my schedule since I needed to travel for any visits. She made sure I felt confident in my decisions at every step of the sale. I'm grateful for all Samantha's help in taking this next step. - Shivaun H

Samantha has helped me with my apartment search on two separate occasions now, and both times have been wonderful experiences. Most recently, she helped my partner and I find and secure the perfect rental unit for us. From the beginning, she made sure she understood our exact needs and wants, and clearly communicated and educated us on any important/required information for the process. She was easily available to answer or address any questions or concerns we had, and was willing to be flexible for any sudden changes in scheduling. Working with Samantha allowed us to remain organized and (even at some of our most stressful moments) at ease. When we finally found THE apartment we wanted to apply for, she worked quickly and also put in 100% effort to advocate for us as the right tenants to the landlord. My partner and I are hoping to stay at our place for as long as we can, but if we ever have to go back to searching, we wouldn’t hesitate to work with Samantha again. - Faustine Pelipel

When I started seeking a lease, I anticipated that I would not find anything until Spring. In addition the housing market in Toronto being competitive, I also lived in Niagara. Samantha was not only capable of accommodating viewing times for me whenever I was in town, but she found my partner and I an affordable space before the New Year began! - Toni

Buying a home is scary and confusing, especially when you're a first time home buyer. Sam helped us feel comfortable and empowered in this process. Every step of the way, she took the time to explain things, let us ask questions, and make sure we were all on the same page. She also really cared to get to know our wants and needs (I'm a kitschy vintage enthusiast, so she knew a 1970s basement bar would be a plus for me), but also made sure to push our boundaries a little when necessary (reminding us that paint and decoration could always be changed, so it's worth giving a newer home a chance). When it came to finally securing our first home (yay!) Sam wowed us with her quick turnaround and excellent negotiation skills. Highly recommended! - Sam Conover

Sam was very knowledgeable and made the home buying experience a pleasure. She helped us manage our expectations and made sure that we knew what we were getting into. I will be using Sam again next time we look for a home. - André Proulx

Samantha was professional, informative and an attentive listener. She helped me out a lot as I looked for a place to call my own again. She answered all my questions, conducted herself with the highest level of integrity and honesty, it felt great to have such a great person in my corner as I re-entered the rental market. Whether I rent or buy, she's the only one I trust to help me in the housing market. - Ash Psaila
