What working with Samantha looks like.

No mystery, no upsell. Same process every time.

We talk first

15-minute call. Samantha asks about your timeline, target areas, and what scares you about buying. You ask anything.

Lender intro (if needed)

Pre-approval is non-negotiable in this market. Samantha works with three Maryland lenders who close on time, every time.

Tour with intent

MLS alerts and Saturday tours. By week three you'll know what's overpriced and what's a deal.

Offer, inspect, close

Strategic offer construction. Inspection negotiated for credits where it counts. Smooth closing at the title table.

Free buyer tools.

Common buyer questions.

Does it cost me anything to work with Samantha?

No. Buyer's agent commissions in Maryland are typically negotiated separately post-2024, but most sellers still offer to cover them. Samantha will walk through how it works on your specific deal during the free consultation — no surprises.

What if I'm 6+ months out from buying?

Even better. Most successful buyers start the conversation 3–6 months before they're ready. Samantha will set up MLS alerts, recommend a lender for pre-approval, and answer questions as you go. No commitment, no pressure.

What areas of Maryland do you cover?

Anne Arundel County (Crofton, Severna Park, Annapolis, Edgewater, Pasadena, Glen Burnie), Prince George's County (Bowie, Upper Marlboro, Hyattsville, Capitol Heights, Fort Washington), Montgomery County (Silver Spring, Takoma Park), and Howard County. If you're outside this footprint, Samantha will refer you to a trusted agent in that market.

I'm a first-time Maryland homebuyer. What do I need to know?

First-time MD buyers are exempt from the buyer's 0.25% half of the state transfer tax — saves $1,000+ at closing on a typical home. The Maryland Mortgage Program (MMP) also offers down payment assistance up to $20,000+. Samantha walks first-time buyers through every program they qualify for.

How fast does Samantha respond?

Within 2 hours during business hours, usually within 30 minutes. She runs her business on text and direct calls — not on a delegated assistant who takes a day to reply.

One short call. That’s the whole ask.

Tell Samantha what you’re thinking. She’ll come back with a real plan — not a templated email.
