Sam began his career in commercial real estate in the early 1970s, quickly transitioning into office building development. Once his first properties were built and ready for tenants, Sam and his wife, Diane, took on the management themselves. His highly personalized approach to client and property care soon attracted a loyal client base, prompting him to grow his team to meet demand.

Sam lived by a simple credo: personalized service and genuine appreciation for his clients. As he often said, “We’ll take care of you. We do what we say we’ll do. You can trust us.”

In retirement, Sam enjoyed traveling and soaking up the sun on his rooftop in Guatemala. His wisdom, integrity, and generous spirit will be deeply missed.

Rest in peace, Sam.
