  • "Samantha’s availability, promptness, and knowledge stood out when selecting who to work with. Samantha was wonderful to work with, she never pressured us to make a decision, made sure we had all the information we needed, and was very knowledgeable all around. She was always available to answer questions and willing to clear her schedule if necessary. We spent full days looking at houses some days and Samantha was willing to go back at it the next day. Her own insight and advice as a homeowner was also very helpful and influential in our decision process. I would work with her in a heartbeat on any future property purchase/investment."

    — Maria R., Buyer

  • "Sam is an excellent realtor who puts the needs of the clients above everything. She thoroughly walked us through the entire process of purchasing a house and assisted us with any and all questions at every step of the way. She went above and beyond in making sure that every angle was covered from the inspection report to the final walk through. Not only did she help with the contracts, she also provided great recommendations for Mortgage Lenders/attorneys and the Home Inspector. She basically covered the entire 360 degrees associated with purchasing a house. Even after closing, she is actively working on renting the unit to a tenant and is working on every aspect of leasing the unit."

  • "Samantha Gagni provided the best help in finding my future home! She went well out of her way to make sure I had all the information before making an informed decision. I would rate her 10/10 and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for the next place to live. She is polite and responsive in a timely manner. I trusted Samantha because of her friendly demeanor and had no regrets. You won't be disappointed!"

    — Vaki N, Renter

  • "Samantha was very hands-on and accessible throughout my whole home buying process. She tendered to all of my questions, concerns, and unknowns. If she did not know, then she directed to the person or resource that would be able to help me answer my concerns. Samantha is an excellent real estate agent and takes pride in what she does for her clients. The experience of buying a property can be very stressful and Samantha relieved unnecessary stress that came about during this process. I highly recommend Samantha and her team's services. Many thanks!"

    — Samson C., Buyer

  • "Sam was a wonderful agent to help me in all aspects of the condo purchase. She was available when I needed her and had the patience to answer all of my questions. Since she really looked out for my priorities, I gained trust very quickly... all the way down to her helping me with my bank wiring! Sam is also a property owner so she gave me valuable insight and perspective on property management. She had great listening skills and addressed my concerns efficiently and effectively. Glad to have chosen Sam and Exit Realty for my first home purchase. They worked as a team very nicely so it didn't feel like I only had Sam to lean on as well!"

Travel Clients.

  • "We have worked with Sam before and choosing to work with her again was the best choice. We loved how she customized our trip and made it so easy for us. Everything we asked for, she delivered. She even gave us suggestions for apps that will help us navigate language barriers and ideas of what is appropriate to tip in a different country. Things that we did not think about she had covered. We always referred back to her itinerary if we questioned anything. All I know is we will continue to use Samantha's services for any trip in the future. Thank you so much for everything. We had the best trip ever because of you, Sam!"

    Traveled to Cancun, MX

  • "Samantha was a dream to work with! Given the highly regulated pandemic environment it was imperative to work with not only a travel advisor, but this one in particular! From the transfers to and from each hotel to the ferries needed to travel from island to island, Samantha had every detail perfectly ordered. Her follow-up was impeccable (and necessary due to all of the pre-work needed to be completed before entering Greece). I'm definitely planning all of my future travel with Samantha."

  • "I had my destination wedding in Cancun and had over 140 guests so I knew I needed a travel agent to help me get through it! Samantha was fantastic to work with - very communicative and patient on any questions we had or our guests had, extremely organized, and provided us regular reports and updates i.e. which of our guests have booked or not, open items that needed to be addressed, etc. I highly recommend her to any couple planning a destination wedding!"

  • "Samantha was an amazing pleasure to work with! Perfect mix of easy going, enthusiastic and professionalism! She did not hesitate or skip a beat at planning our 80 + attendee family reunion this past June 2022. Sam helped us not only FIND a venue that could accommodate our large group, but also took on the hard task of booking all the appropriate sized townhomes for EACH FAMILY that attended. I was impressed by her use of surveys, excel sheets and even pie charts to help our large group of varying and opiniated family members come to a consensus on multiple topics for our trip. She made planning for this special event stress free. I would HIGHLY recommend her for ANY of your travel needs. Thanks Samantha! =D"

  • "Samantha was a pleasure to work with. She was great about communicating with us not only during the booking process, but even during our vacation when we needed help with anything . She listened to all our requests and her recommendations for our first family vacation did not disappoint! Excited to work with her again for our future travels."

  • "Sam helped create a totally bespoke trip for my husband and I to do a 2-week road trip down the west coast in a camper van! Her help was critically important, since it was a long trip and pretty complex - finding and booking the van, planning the route, finding and booking campsites, having options for things to stop and see, etc. I ended up getting really busy at work during planning crunch time, and knowing that our trip was planned and easily accessible in an app was a total god-send. She was also available to help through a few things that occurred over the course of the trip, which was really reassuring. Sam is super easy to work with and I would definitely recommend her travel services!"

    Traveled to Hawaii

  • "What a professional, Sam lives and breaths travel and would not be surprised she goes to sleep with a carry on bag at her side. The destination, Antartica the 7th continent (February, 2024) on a 12 night expedition cruise on Hurtigruten, now HX. It was one year of planning for our son, my wife and I. Sam organized a video presentation (January, 2023) with a Hurtigruten representative highlighting the expedition. A week later we made the commitment to join VS1's hosted trip. Through out the entire process Sam responded to our questions no matter how minute (sorry) and tempered our concerns. She kept us abreast of recommended items to purchase from clothings to water proof cell phone coverings. November/December proved to be a critical time to provide timely medical information and insurance documentation, Sam shepared us through the process. On February 5, 2024 it was showtime and indeed what a 'once in a lifetime experience'. Thank you Sam and VS1."
