Mr. Sam Helgemo is knowledge, resourceful and an absolute specialist in real estate. He's a natural conversationalist and a humble person. We came to know Sam in our housing search and couldn't have been more pleased with him. Not only because he helped us find our home but that he delivered quality service that is few and far between. When we began to view homes, he arranged viewings in the same time frame, on our time. While viewing homes, he would always point out any benefits or pitfalls-- things we would have otherwise overlooked. We attributed this to his expertise in real estate and home restoration. He has a knack for what is fair value in the market and would jump on anything that looked overpriced and would encourage us to negotiate or would find reasonable alternatives. He embodies servant leadership-- a prime example is our move. We bought a home with Sam's help and had to make an immediate move. Our natural expectation is that we would have to find someone rather quickly to help us. However, with Sam, everything is better. He helped us move and arranged a team for us. He rolled up his sleeves with us and was there to help us get some big pieces out of our home. Never in a million year would we have thought or expected him to do this. This is by far not the norm for a realtor and it speaks loudly to his character as a human being. Also, and more importantly, he is NOT pushy. I cannot stress how important this is. He really cares about the customer and doesn't want the largest financial decision of most people's lives to be a poor one. If you had to ask us if we would use Sam again, the answer is yes. He is truly the best of the best.

Awesome realtor to work with…read more I have to give mad props to realtor, Sam Helgemo. We went from eh kind of looking for a house to being serious about a house and we worked with him throughout the whole process. We were only kind of looking for a solid two years. Sam would send us listings but he never pushed us about anything. When we finally decided to take the plunge, we wanted to see houses all in one day while my dad was in town so he could see them too. Not only did Sam set up a ton of different listings for us to see, but when we decided to up our price point after seeing the first couple of houses he got on the phone and set up even more showings within that hour. There are a couple of reasons I can wholeheartedly recommend Sam. 1. He knows the costs of renovations. We were looking for a turnkey ready house (isn't everybody), but when there were minor or major things that we would want to change, Sam was able to ballpark how much it would cost. He is constantly renovating his own houses so he is very familiar with prices. It is extremely handy to have a realtor who can do that so you know if you're looking at a couple hundred dollars or a couple thousand dollars for the changes you want. 2. Sam is a bulldog. We had a ton of back and forth with the title company (which was chosen by the seller) and I was able to let him completely handle it and got through it relatively stress free. Sam isn't afraid to get on the phone and get answers. You want him on your side. 3. He isn't pushy. The entire process I felt like he was working with our best interest in mind. I'm always cognizant of when I'm working with people who have outside interests (e.g. commission), but that never seemed to factor in when dealing with Sam. Even after we raised our price point we still ended up going with a house that was under our max. I felt fully supported in every decision I made. I honestly don't know what else you'd want in a realtor. Sam has integrity, is knowledgeable, and he gets the job done.
