BUYER
SUCCESS
Sam Fitz-Simon's focus on his client's success extends beyond getting sellers the best results. When working with buyers, Sam prioritizes the future of their investment, ensuring that they not only secure a home, but at a price they love & with the best mortgage interest rate possible.
By working with a number of mortgage brokers, Sam continuously shops his partners to find who offers the lowest interest rate at any given time.
​
Buying a home today takes more than visiting open house. It takes a well-executed strategy and solid representation. Below are some of Sam's noteworthy achievements from the past 12 months.

LIVERMORE
​
List Price: $1,625,000 | Sale Price: $1,700,000
​
During Livermore's hot market of April 2024, we secured this listing at a fantastic price, beating multiple offers, and with a contingency of selling their existing home before even being listed on the public market.
While in escrow, a competing property in worse condition came onto the market and closed close to $100K over our contract price.
​
Immediately, my client gained appreciation & won his dream home with something he was previously told would be impossible!
1964 MONTCLAIR CT
WALNUT CREEK
​
List Price: $1,499,000 | Sale Price: $1,585,000
​
After visiting an open house over Easter weekend, my clients fell in love with this home.
​
At the offer deadline, we submitted significantly under where the local comparables were and through the relationship I had built with the listing agent, we had our offer accepted, again beating out multiple offers without the highest price.
​
The appraisal for this home came in over & homes locally continue to exceed this property's value.
Additionally, my client's were referred to my mortgage partner who was able to secure them an interest rate dramatically under where others had quoted them.
553 NEAL ST
PLEASANTON
​
List Price: $1,599,000 | Sale Price: $1,500,000
​
This stunning home in Downtown Pleasanton was an incredible achievement for my clients and me.
​
Despite the market being extremely strong, we were able to secure this home significantly under the initial list price. Less than a year later, comparables are closing close to 20% higher than my client's price.
​
How did we do this? The housing market can shift on a weekly basis and without having the best representation, sellers can leave money on the table. Open houses at this time were slammed, but this agent didn't have an open house. By making that choice, she missed out on the opportunity to create a stir & build up multiple offers.
​
Opportunities like this are rare, but capitalizing on them can be extremely rewarding.
