Sam Whiteside has been a full time Realtor since July 1978
and holds the Certified Residential Specialist (CRS)
and Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR) professional designations.
Less than 5% of Realtors are CRS designees and Sam is currently one
of
only ten ABRs in Minden/Gardnerville. He is licensed in NV as a Broker/Salesman and is
associated with RE/MAX Realty Affiliates, the No.1 Small Market Office in the RE/MAX SW.
Region!
Sam believes in giving 100% effort to help his clients and customers
achieve their Relocation goals, through continuing education, constant updating of market
information and the use of the latest business technology. You will find his no pressure
personality and patient attention to your needs to be the perfect combination to
aid in your home
search.
Sam makes his home in Minden to be able to indulge his interest in
the sport of Soaring. Minden is known as the World’s finest site for that
sport! He is a Certified Flight Instructor and spends much of his limited spare time
teaching student pilots.
Sam Whiteside is a serious real
estate professional with a keen ability to resolve conflicting requirements and
a pleasant manner to boot! We narrowed our search to build our dream home
to Douglas and Washoe counties and asked Sam to show us any properties that met
our nebulous requirements, which he cheerfully agreed to do.
:-)
When we started the tour, Sam was well prepared with a stack of listings along
with a plan to show and contrast various properties. What was particularly
helpful, was that he was able to give us an exhaustive overview of the area
without being judgmental about our challenging and somewhat conflicting set of
requirements. Within a few days we were able to see the potential in
various parcels and Sam patiently allowed us to refine our choices until we were
ready to make an offer. Then Sam guided us through the negotiations
offering advice until we finally arrived at our happy conclusion. For most
of us, a real estate transaction is a huge deal full of anxiety and plenty of
potential hazards. Having Sam on our team made a huge difference in our
ability to find our ideal home site!
We can best describe Sam as a true guide that understands what his clients want
and need and then leads them on a journey with success as the destination.
We highly recommend Sam Whiteside for any of your real estate requirements.

Dear Sam:
It has been both an honor and privilege having you
represent us with our Gardnerville home purchase. You are one of those rare real
estate professionals dedicated to hard work, very thorough and extremely
knowledgeable about various aspects of Carson Valley Real Estate. You stayed on
top of every single detail during the entire time, which we greatly appreciated.
We were impressed with how well organized you were
e-mailing us listings of properties for us to peruse and select. On tour day,
you handed us complete listing fact sheets on every home we entered. Not one was
out of order. We were able to tour a considerable number of homes in a short
time. Saving us a lot of time.
What we both liked immediately about you, is your extreme
honesty and no pressure sales techniques. We felt you would not be content with
yourself selling a property to someone that they were not pleased with, In
addition, you have an engaging personality that make house hunting a fun
experience. But, you are extremely well-versed on countless issues. When a
question is asked, an immediate intelligent response is given.
Please include our names on your long
list of happy and satisfied clients for future recommendations.

Sincerely,
Bob and Pauline Cameron.

Sam a savings of nearly $40,000 from the original asking price of the property!

he maintained a focus on our transactions throughout the entire process, from initial

I
would highly recommend Sam for either a Listing Agent or for any Buyer's Agent. He is a
man with both oars in the water and is able to watch the compass at the same time. Don't
hesitate to contact me with any questions about his competency. Sam's thorough knowledge of real estate in the area, years of
experience and energetic personality made him an easy selection over the competition. He
tells things like they are and you always know the situation. He doesn't play the games
which are so common within the real estate profession.

house without your help.
