Sam Fakih's interest and passion for real estate began at a very young age. From watching his parents buy and sell homes to the experience he gained with his uncles who built spec houses in the 90's, Sam's life has been influenced by the world of real estate. One of his fondest memories as a kid is when his parents' Realtor put him in charge of opening the lockbox to see their new home. That lasting feeling of having a fresh start in a new home has shaped Sam's world as a Realtor and he aims to help clients experience this excitement every time. With over 21 years of experience and personal investment in real estate, Sam knows residential real estate inside and out. Sellers benefit from his marketing expertise, solid negotiation skills, and his ability to correctly value and position properties in the marketplace, often achieving above-market results. Buyers benefit from his knack for genuinely understanding their needs and desires when searching for their home. Always striving to understand his clients on a personal level, Sam focuses on building lasting and trusting relationships. People and relationships are at the center of who Sam is and he believes that "Your friends, family, and people you know and work with help shape who you are in life". Clients recognize this unique characteristic in Sam and often form friendships and lasting business relationships for life. From sun-filled memories of the beach in Del Mar, to growing up in Rancho Penasquitos as a kid; Sam has called San Diego home for decades. He currently resides in Encinitas and specializes in helping clients buy and sell homes all over San Diego County. When not helping clients you can find Sam enjoying the beautiful San Diego beaches, hanging out with his close-knit family and friends, and following the NFL every season (one of Sam's bucket-list goals is to visit every NFL stadium in the country).

Sam Fakih did a very nice job selling my condo in Pacific Pines Racket Club. He was knowledgeable, professional, hard working, aggressive, good at keeping in communications, good at dealing with the unexpected, patient and nice to work with. He exceeded my expectations, I feel lucky to have worked with him and would use him again.

Sam did a great job helping us find the house that we will live in for a long long time. He was a phone call or a message away always even on days when he was out of town. He kept on top of our mortgage broker/lender more than I did. I would recommend him any day, no questions asked!!

One of the best agents I have ever worked with. Helped me with more than one property. He is very energetic, enthusiastic and honest. He gave me advice on the negotiating price and ensured that I got my properties for the best price. He made me feel that I was his priority and not the commission he will be making, otherwise I would have bought my house at a much higher price.

Working with Sam was amazing! He was super helpful, always made time for us, and made the home buying experience wonderful for our family. We now live in our dream house and have Sam to thank! We have already recommended him to friends and will continue to do so!

Sam is an a amazing man and an even better agent, he stayed with me through a quite difficult 6 month short sale and we nailed it for $10, 000 less that i thought we would have to pay!!!!!! i would recommend him quite highly we have worked with with his company for many years, you cannot do any better than him to be honest. plus he will always tell you the truth even if you don't want to hear it!!!!!
