Why Stevenage?
When asked why she chose Stevenage, Sammie’s answer is simple. “When I started working in this industry, I lived in Stevenage. It made sense to work in an area I know and love.” This knowledge of Stevenage allows her to sell homes effectively. She understands the nuances of the neighbourhoods, the local amenities, and the unique character that makes Stevenage a great place to live. Her passion for the area translates into a deep commitment to her clients, ensuring they find not just a house, but a home.
From Childcare to Real Estate
Sammie’s journey into estate agency wasn’t planned. “My background is in childcare,” she explains. “I fell into estate agency by accident but absolutely loved it straight away. My childcare background helps a tonne as I often need to use a similar amount of patience during the sales process.” This patience and understanding set Sammie apart in the competitive world of real estate. She approaches each sale with the care and dedication one might expect from someone who has spent years nurturing children. Her clients appreciate her calm, composed demeanour and her ability to handle even the most stressful situations with grace.
Working From Home, Covering North Herts
Based in Biggleswade, Sammie works from home but covers Stevenage and North Hertfordshire. This flexible working arrangement allows her to be available for her clients when they need her, whether it’s for a viewing, a consultation, or just a quick chat about the market. Sammie’s adaptability ensures that her clients always feel supported, no matter where they are in the buying or selling process.
Breaking the Stereotype
Sammie is on a mission to break the stigma of the ‘stereotypical’ estate agent. “I’ve won awards for customer service,” she says proudly. “I’m honest, transparent, and dedicated to my clients.” Her approach is straightforward and refreshing in an industry that can sometimes feel impersonal and transactional. Sammie takes the time to get to know her clients, understand their needs, and guide them through the process with integrity and care.
Success Stories in Real Estate
While Sammie doesn’t have one specific story that stands out, her career is filled with numerous successes. “Other than endlessly chasing solicitors till I’m blue in the face, I can’t think of one specific story. I guess in general, just thinking outside the box to create deals and keep them together,” she reflects. This ability to think creatively and persistently is what makes Sammie so effective. She’s not afraid to go the extra mile, whether it’s negotiating a tricky deal or finding innovative solutions to ensure a sale goes through. Her clients benefit from her tenacity and her willingness to tackle challenges head-on.
Giving Back to the Community
Stevenage is more than just a place to live; it’s a community that thrives on support and connection. Sammie is proud to donate £100 from each sale to the Stevenage Community Trust. This local charity does incredible work, providing grants and support to a wide range of community projects and individuals in need. By choosing Sammie as your estate agent, you’re not just making a smart move for your property; you’re also contributing to the well-being of our community.
Supporting the Stevenage Community Trust
Sammie’s support for the Stevenage Community Trust stems from a desire to raise awareness for a charity she feels deserves more recognition. “I don’t have a personal connection with this charity,” she admits. “I was just surprised by how little awareness there was for this charity. So, I wanted to support and raise awareness at the same time.” This commitment to philanthropy is a testament to Sammie’s character. She’s not just in it for the sales; she genuinely cares about the community and wants to make a positive impact.
Contributions Over the Years
When asked how much she has donated over the years, Sammie estimates, “From me personally, about £500, I think? £400/£500. I can check the exact amount.” This ongoing support highlights her dedication to giving back, reinforcing her belief that success is not just measured in sales, but in the positive changes one can make in the community.
The Personal Touch
Sammie’s personal touch is evident in everything she does. From the first consultation to the final handshake, she’s there every step of the way, providing support, guidance, and a friendly face. Her background in childcare has given her the patience and empathy needed to handle the complexities of real estate transactions. She listens to her clients, understands their needs, and works tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcome for them.
Making a Difference
By choosing Sammie, you’re not just choosing an estate agent; you’re choosing someone who genuinely cares about making a difference. Her contributions to the Stevenage Community Trust are a reflection of her commitment to the area and its residents. Every sale is an opportunity for Sammie to give back, to support local projects, and to help individuals in need.
