“I hadn't set foot in the property in almost 10 years. After our initial meeting, Sam took it from there — I didn't need to visit even once. Thanks to his deep network in the neighborhood, he was able to line up contractors, cleaners, and whatever else was needed quickly and at a fair price. They turned a long-distance sale I was dreading into a straightforward, low-stress experience. Can't recommend them enough if you need someone you can genuinely trust to handle a sale hands-off.”

“What stood out from there was how Sam handled everything. He was incredibly responsive, caught details others would have missed, and kept the whole process moving so smoothly that we were able to close within weeks. I've worked with dozens and dozens of NYC real estate agents over the years, and I can say without hesitation that Sam is the most pleasant and professional of them all. If you have any NYC real estate needs, he's the person I'd point you to.”

“Throughout the process I absolutely appreciated Sam's professionalism, no-nonsense approach, promptness and the seamless experience he provided. He also, rather unusually, continued to ensure client's or my satisfaction even at the end of our first formal engagement. I have now converted as his forever-client for all NYC real estate matters.”

—Asha Jayaraman

“As an independent contractor, banks and co-op boards tend to not be very forthcoming. Sam went above and beyond to make sure that the sale went through in spite of these challenging factors. I look forward to making my next move with Settled.”

-Piero Lamagna

“In addition, several of my friends and family members used his help hunting for properties to buy. Everyone was extremely grateful and appreciative of all attention, patience and consideration Sam approached the task with. His positive, respectful attitude and friendly demeanor makes sometimes hideous and challenging real estate hunting in Manhattan smooth sailing. Before you go anywhere else, try Sam. You will have a real estate agent for years to come.”

-Anatole Lindenbaum

“Most recently, Sam assisted with the sale of my NYC condo and I felt that he knew exactly how to market the property, and how work with buyers toward meeting my goals as a seller. Sam has decades of experience and knows NYC real estate inside out.”

-Justin vS

“As a loan officer, we've had many customers that we've worked with together. He is appreciated and loved because of his incredible knowledge of New York City real estate (and all things City related), his helpfulness, and his kindness. He will work tirelessly for you... and I know this because he also helped me to find an apartment back in 2011 where I lived for over 10 years. So if you are in the market for a new home in NYC, Sam is the one to help you! I couldn't recommend anyone more highly!”

-Robert Raush

“…but he learned all he needed to know about the neighborhood and was consistently available, responsive, and effective. All parties involved in the process commented on his professionalism and thoroughness. I highly recommend him!”

—Kathy Sommerich

“In 2007, Sam was recommended to me as an agent. Sam has taken me through 4 different tenants, multiple problems including damage, violation of the building rules, and lease renewals and every single time he handled the issue fully, leaving to me only the need to make final decisions, which I always followed his recommendations with great satisfaction. His attention to detail and his advice has been excellent. I cannot recommend anyone in any business more highly than I do Sam.”

-Richard S

“Sam is very knowledgeable about the NYC real estate market and guided me step-by-step through the process, and responded to my questions and requests very promptly. He has excellent judgment about properties, pricing, coop boards, and finances. I recommend Settled New York without hesitation.”

-Robert Thompson

“He was very knowledgeable of New York real estate and rentals, and spent so much time on the phone walking me through tips and next steps. Truly appreciated his help in this crazy market!”

-Mia Doerr

“He is professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and always a pleasure to work with. Sam consistently goes above and beyond to make the process smooth and stress-free. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable real estate professional. Thank you, Sam, for all your help over the years!”

-Rory McDermott

“He is ethical, honest, knowledgeable, professional and has been in the business for many years. You can't go wrong working with Sam. Happy to know he is striking out on his own. He'll do well. Best wishes!”

-Barbara Griswold

““With several similar apartments listed in the building at the same time, he made everything feel easy and got our apartment in contract first. He was also incredibly accommodating in coordinating around our tenant, handling every detail smoothly and without any issues. Sam’s knowledge of the neighborhood, responsiveness, and positive approach made a potentially stressful process seamless. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy, sell, or rent in the city.”
