Samuel Vail

BIO

My journey begins almost two decades ago when I stated my career as a loan officer and then transitioned into real estate. I was instantly a success in the Ann Arbor Area market landing the Rookie of The Year Award at my previous brokerage, I had a natural niche. I always knew I had a knack for people, and my love of real estate coupled with my family's background allowed for perfect chemistry. Ever heard of Vail, Colorado? No coincidence, my family has deep roots in real estate throughout North America. Dating all the way back to the 1640's, Vail developments can be found from The Big Apple to Colorado.

As a local, I worked my network and quickly became the talk of the town with my outstanding customer and fierce but friendly negotiations. I've been a musician my whole life, and you tend to develop a negotiating power through all the hoops you have to jump through just to get on stage. As I quickly became a household name throughout Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti and the surrounding areas, I began to refine my approach and my purpose. I realized that "Just doing real estate" wasn't going to be enough. I wanted to create an innovative experience for my clients that went beyond the closing table. I didn't want to just be their 'REALTOR®', I wanted to be their guide and resource for all things to do with real estate.

My success has come from putting my clients wants and needs first. I pride myself on being knowledgeable about all facets of the business and by also being accessible to my clients. My desire is to do a great job for my clients and to ensure a smooth transaction. Most of my clients become my friends.
