About Samuel
Greetings! It means the world that you’ve taken the time to visit my website. I’ve spent the past 14 years of my life collecting unforgettable memories, and forging rich relationships, across 6 continents. I’ve had the incredible honor to mix business and pleasure in most of my travels. You could say that my life is a “Tale of Two Worlds.”
I am the Founder & CEO of Sense of Place Properties & Hospitality - a real estate brokerage & hospitality concept advisory firm serving clients throughout Florida, California, Tennessee, Mexico & various EMEA markets. I specialize in representing buyers, sellers, investors and hospitality/retail brands across luxury properties, investments and hospitality-related spaces. My commitment to my clients, and to myself, is to focus my efforts on properties and spaces that transcend just the apparent physical aspects - I dedicate myself to focusing on the emotional resonance they hold. My firm’s philosophy is rooted in the belief that every client is unique, and every property/space should reflect the personal narrative of its inhabitants. I’m a proud strategi partner with ADVSR for international deals.
In addition to my brokerage/advisory services, I am the proud Host & Creative Director of “Find Your Sense of Place” - a spin-off podcast x curatorial platform from Sense of Place, that marries rich interviews, editorial stories, compelling art + design, fascinating people and lifestyle brands. Outside of real estate, my personal passions include wine (Certified Sommelier), art (One Art Nation Certified Advisor) and design (Co-founder, VADEN LEBLANC).
I kindly invite you to contact me at any point to inquire about your real estate-related needs, hospitality advisory requirements and/or to inquire about the podcast/platform. Thanks!
