Right from the start of this process Sam was eager and super keen to get our property listed. The updates and regular contact from her and Andy kept us informed of how we were tracking. We trusted the “Samandy” team and they delivered.
Sam is very professional, communicates well, she made selling a very stress free transition
Sam was professional and friendly. We felt informed of progress and nothing was a problem. The process was straightforward and the IT system behind the scenes helped make things progress smoothly.
Sam helped us every step of the way through the buying process. She was a joy to work with.
Sam has now sold 3 of our houses. She is well informed, professional and an absolute delight to work with. If there is a problem l don’t know about it she just sorts it out. Has a high level of communication and has a great way of keeping you on track and up to date without being pushy (but we need that) l wish we weren’t so settled in our new place otherwise we wouldn’t hesitate to get Sam around again.
Sam was absolutely fantastic to deal with. Nothing was a problem! I live in a different town, and Sam was able to go to the property for me if needed, for various reasons, to save me the trip. She was very professional, and excellent at communicating, by phone, text or email. I always knew exactly what was happening, with up-to-date information throughout the whole process. I would (and already have) highly recommend Sam to any one looking to sell their home, she is a very professional & approachable agent.
They demonstrated very strong marketing knowledge . They communicated very efficiently and were always very professional in their manners. They genuinely cared about doing the best to sell my house for the highest price possible .
Buying a house together was a new experience for both of us, and from start to finish Sam made the process feel straightforward and stress-free. She was always responsive, friendly and patient, and most importantly, gave us real confidence and peace of mind from start to finish. We would highly recommend Sam (and Andy) to anyone looking to sell their home or find their next place to call home. You’d be very lucky to have the opportunity to purchase through Sam. When the time comes, we look forward to working with them again.
Working with Sam was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. She made the entire process of selling my section incredibly smooth and stress‑free. Her communication was excellent — always prompt and clear. What stood out most was her genuine care, professionalism, and commitment to achieving a great result. I’m really grateful for all her hard work and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated and trustworthy real estate agent.
Selling our family home in Methven was never going to be an easy task, it was in a tough price range and a quiet market. Between that and some sensitivities around the estates involved, Sam proved she was up for the challenge. All parties were kept well informed through all stages of the sale process, from open home turnouts to walking us through the legal processes. Sam was incredibly professional where needed, but remained approachable and positive. The last minute buyers that came in made things a bit hectic on a short timeline, but Sam made sure it got her full attention and got things across the line. We wouldn't hesitate to use her again in the future.
