Review for Member: Sam Golovey
ZillowVERIFIEDWe had an incredible experience working with Sam and Elena Golovey. From our very first conversation, it was clear they weren't interested in just giving us a standard sales pitch. Instead, they provided a really thoughtful, tailored service that felt premium from the jump. Sam knows the area and the comps inside and out, and his strategy was incredibly sharp but entirely fairaEUR"he never tried to oversell us on anything and we trusted him to handle negotiations with ease and our best interests in mind. The whole process was seamless and moved fast. Thanks to their execution, our place sold in just three days, above what we were asking, completely beating out the local comps. From top to bottom, it was just a genuinely great experience. We couldnt recommend them more!

ZillowVERIFIED We absolutely loved working with Sam and Elena! They helped us sell our home and purchase our new construction home, and we couldnt be happier. They were always there to answer our questions, kept us updated every step of the way, and made the whole process feel easy. We truly felt like they cared about us and had our best interests at heart. We are so thankful for everything they did and would recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

ZillowVERIFIED Weve been working with Sam for about 7 years, and he helped us buy and sell our first home. He was patient, knowledgeable, and paid attention to what we needed in our next house. He never sent us listings that didnt apply. Once we were ready, Sam was quick to schedule showings and put in offers. We really appreciated his help and recommend him to anyone buying or selling a home.

ZillowVERIFIED We had a great experience working with Same on the purchase of our home. Sam was very helpful throughout our home buying process. We appreciated his perspective on the current market, advice on how to evaluate new home builders, and his local real estate market knowledge. With Sams support, we are now happy homeowners in a community we love.

ZillowVERIFIED Sam has been such a pleasure to work with in purchasing my first home! He is always responsive and knowledgeable about the questions that I consulted with him for. He made it easy to communicate with various parties involved from the new construction builder, to the lender, and other individuals involved. Its clear as I communicate with the builders agents and lenders that he holds an honorable reputation. *I would definitely recommend Sam as a go-to agent for future home buying/sales.

ZillowVERIFIED We found Sam through his YouTube channel and just purchased our 1st home with him! We couldnt be happier with our choice. We liked his professionalism, expertise, and down to earth personality the very 1st time we chatted with him. All this approved to be true as we were working through the process. Sam is a good listener. We really appreciate him willing to work around our goal and interests, being super transparent every step of the way, and never pushy. We are from the Bay Area so it was a huge plus to have a trusted local expert to look after all things related purchasing a home. One more big highlight we must mention is that he is so well connected. The house we were buying had electric issues and it was misdiagnosed. Sam then sent his contact and it was fixed! House hunting can be stressful and we actually had fun with Sam and his team seeing many houses in one day! We highly recommend Sam!

ZillowVERIFIED Thanks to Sam, I was able to get my home in West Sacramento and had it closed in 30 days. He was responsive and even helped me from the beginning without being pre approved with a loan. Most realtors wouldnt have done the same. He is a humble gentleman. Super easy to work with and thumbs up for being resourceful in the Sacramento Region. Would have given him 6/5 stars if i can.

ZillowVERIFIED Super pleased with having had worked with Sam and his team on the sale of my house and the purchase of my current home. I was really uncertain about selling my house (since I?ve never gone through the process before) but Sam answered all of my questions and was super responsive. Ended up selling my house in a few short days with multiple offers over asking and was able to simultaneously make an offer on a house in my dream neighborhood. It?s been a few months and Sam still reaches out to make sure everything is going well.

ZillowVERIFIED Sam is a an absolute gem in this industry! We just bought our first home in Rocklin and actually found him through his YouTube channel! He is very knowledgeable and insightful about the current trends and market, and his videos really helped give me the push I needed to buy. I contacted him and right away he was very friendly and ready to answer all the questions we had. He was always supportive and timely in checking in and is a great person to have as your realtor. Even though he jumped in as our realtor a little bit later than usual we still felt all the support and guidance and he was always ready and willing to help. His kindness and friendliness and knowledge definitely goes a long way. We are very thankful to Sam for everything he?s done for us and supporting us along the way, we love our new home

ZillowVERIFIED Sam has been nothing but great when it came to being our choice of realtor. Although my wife and I were in a difficult situation with the current market, Sam was there with us through thick and thin. He was patient, optimistic, understanding and kind. We never felt pressured like some sort of a sales pitch, matter of fact - it was more so as if he was putting himself in our shoes. We had looked at multiple houses however when we closed on the one, Sam did the final walk through and offered to personally cover some of the expenses that have incurred during the closing period. On top of that, there was a celebratory dinner that Sam took us out on so make sure to order everything on the menu when your time comes. Honesty and integrity goes a long way. 10/10 would choose Golovey Real Estate again.

ZillowVERIFIED Our experience with Sam was incredible. We are first-time home buyers and he helped us navigate everything with ease. Sam is client-first and ever since we met, he listened to our needs while giving us the appropriate counsel to make a great decision. We closed on our first house and he continued to make sure we were taken care of. Not only was he our great realtor, he?s now someone we call a friend. Can?t recommend Sam enough!

ZillowVERIFIED There are not enough stars to post on this review, Sam and his team have gone above and beyond their abilities to help my family find our dream home. Sam is highly professional and listens to all your needs in searching and applies his knowledge in selling your home, he always puts his clients on top and never fails! Over the last few years Sam has become part of the family, has had all of our trust which is hard to come across in business. I highly recommend Sam and his team to everyone and still refer him to friends and family looking to sell and buy in and out of state. Thank you Sam for everything!

ZillowVERIFIED From start to finish Sam has been awesome. Sam guided us through pre-sale preparation, to listing and escrow closure. Sam is honest, knowledgeable and very hard working on the behalf of his clients. Our home sold quickly because of Sam?s professional listing and marketing. I highly recommend Sam to be your realtor. He?s great. I?ve used him to buy a house and now sell one and he made the experience a joy not a burden. ????

ZillowVERIFIED If youre looking for a great real estate agent, look no further- Sam is your man! He made the home buying process smooth as can be for my husband and I. As first time homebuyers, we came into the process eager but clueless. Sam made sure to keep us well-informed along the way and was quick to answer every question we had. Searching for a home in a highly competitive market can be daunting, but we were able to find our dream home in just 1 month, all thanks to Sam! He truly puts his clients first and goes the extra mile. His timely responsiveness, professional attitude, attention to detail, and years of expertise are what makes him one of the best agents out there!

Review for Member: Sam Golovey
ZillowVERIFIED I heard about Sam from another real estate agent. This other agent came up online well- recommended with good reviews. But they had a family emergency and could not take us on, so they referred us to Sam based on his stellar reputation. Sam is kind, knowledgeable, professional, personable, and down to earth. He takes the time to get to know you so he can help you get the house that best fits your needs. Also, he genuinely cares. My girlfriend?s house purchase was not simple or straightforward. With moving cities, changing jobs, the covid shutdown, and changing preferences through the process, it took almost a year to close. Sam was never discouraged, very positive, genuinely so. He reads the room he?s in and knows how to address the subtext of what is really going on, watching to make sure everything is accurate and no one gets the chance to take you for a ride. He?s well-connected and has quality people he can refer you too in housing-related businesses. Sam, thank you for being there and being you for my family. My girlfriend would not have been able to get through the buying process so smoothly otherwise.

ZillowVERIFIED Sam is fantastic! There was a lengthy delay in selling my house in Nevada with a local Reno agent. During that time Sam sent me marketing information and kept me inspired and focused on returning to California. After my Nevada house sold, it took less than a month for Sam to help me find the house of my dreams! He deserves all the stars!!!

ZillowVERIFIED I could not have asked for a better person to go on this journey with me! Sam guided me through my first-time home buying process; available to answer any and every question I had. He was honest with me about issues with potential homes I was interested in. He made intelligent and effective in the decisions we made towards the bidding and closing process. His positive attitude and professionalism was everything I needed when I was in escrow. I will be recommending him to friends and family looking to buy or sell their homes. I never write reviews but I could not think of a better reason to start!! If you want someone who is going to make your home buying/selling process feel effortless and justified hes the guy. I love my new home!! Thank you Sam.

ZillowVERIFIED Sam was an excellent agent throughout the entire buying process. We were relocating to CA, and over a weekend he showed us 10 houses. Some in pretty remote locations. Sam and his associates made the process from offer to close very informative and simple. Sam was very responsive to all of our questions no matter what time it was. Thank you Sam, the experience was great!

ZillowVERIFIED Stress, anxiety, and uncertainty. All emotions one would think you?d be feeling as first time home buyers, but my girl friend and I felt the complete opposite. Sam was an excellent realtor that made the buying process, dare I say it, fun! Full of information and resources we felt completely confident in his ability to find us what we needed. He made it a priority to help us understand everything to a T, and felt comfortable with our terms. Throughout the entire process he maintained excellent communication, and overall went above and beyond for us. Furthermore, Sam is second to none when it comes to negotiating, he got us a 5k sellers credit! WOOHOO! I truly don?t believe we could?ve gotten such a great deal paired with a pleasant experience with any other agent. If possible, we?d give home 10 out of 5 stars.

ZillowVERIFIED Sam is a great realtor who was always there when I had question or concern. I chose to use Sam over several other realtors as he was always very responsive and available to show me homes I was interested in. Sam was able to negotiate a price much lower than originally listed and was always listening to my input and questions. I would highly recommend Sam to anyone looking to buy a home.

ZillowVERIFIED Sam is an extraordinary real estate agent who is professional and knowledgeable about the real estate market and demonstrated a lot of patience and expertise throughout my entire first-time homebuying process. Knowledge - He provided expert opinion from all aspects of real estate from home condition, the market, the location, property management, rental, anticipated repairs and more which allowed us to feel secure about the purchase from beginning to end. Negotiation - He got us an amazing offer that we are very happy with. Comfort and Professionalism - Sam made me and my family all at ease over the phone or in person despite the anxiety that accompanies home purchases. He had high responsiveness from mornings, evenings to weekends and always walked us through details to ensure that we understood contract terms, house inspection reports and other complex areas. 10/10 and would highly recommend to anyone

ZillowVERIFIED From the start we knew that Sam cared about us and the needs of our family. We never felt pressured into a house that we didn?t want. He was always honest with us from the start, even his true thoughts about the house that we were looking at. We had some struggles during the purchasing of our home (not any fault of his), and even though his job was technically done, he went above and beyond to ensure that the process was smooth and stress free. We couldn?t have been happier than having Sam in our corner and on our side. He genuinely cares about you. It?s not about the money for him, it?s about what?s right for your family. I completely recommend him to anyone who is searching for an honest and caring realtor. He even brought us a food basket and house warming gift! So sweet and generous. Thank you Sam!

ZillowVERIFIED I find it very fortunate to have met and worked with Sam. Working with us as first time home buyers, Sam made sure we understood the process and help clarified any questions that we had. He is very easy to work with, driven, and has great negotiation skills by working with our budget. He really made us feel like he was on our side, and worked with us, and not against us when making our offer. Along with being trustworthy agent, its nice that he is also just a great guy which is something you can appreciate with something as stressful as buying a house. We really appreciate it Sam, and we will definitely keep you in our contacts for our next house!

He was very accommodating and his knowledge and experience really helped ease our stress during our first selling process. He knew exactly how to market our home. When we started getting offers, they were slightly lower than we had hoped for but he showed his fantastic ability to negotiate and we ended up getting in sold at offer price in less than a month. We?ve now bought and sold multiple properties through him and he was an aggressive advocate on our behalf. I can?t say enough great things about him, his professionalism and expertise.

ZillowVERIFIED I am so grateful we found Sam. His responsiveness and willingness to stick with us regardless of our budget and difficulty?s was invaluable! I?m We tried so many other agents before him and no one would help us because of what we could afford, timing, their time, etc. Sam was never pushy or rude. He was very patient with us and kept making suggestions until we found what we needed AND wanted. He also followed up a few months later after closing which is very thoughtful. Thank you so much Sam, you did great and made the process way less stressful.
