Dedicated to Helping People ​Find Their “Sense of Place” ​in this World.

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!
