“We’d been casually looking for a home toward the end of 2024, knowing we needed more space since we both work from home. I had actually worked with Sam back in 2018 when I bought my first condo, and as someone who was navigating that process alone for the first time, I appreciated how patient and knowledgeable he was. So when it came time for my husband and me to buy a home together, I knew right away I wanted to work with Sam again. What we appreciated most was Sam’s steady presence throughout the process. He never pressured us, and he was incredibly patient as we figured out what we really wanted (which changed more than once). He answered every question we threw at him, and always offered a balanced perspective - bringing up things we might not have considered while still giving us space to come to our own decisions. Even when our first two offers didn’t work out, he encouraged us to keep going and helped us stay grounded. It’s clear he truly had our best interests in mind, and that trust made all the difference. His communication was consistent and thorough, and his deep knowledge of the San Diego area helped us feel confident every step of the way. Sam is also fast. We saw our dream home, put an offer right after the first and only open house and closed within 21 days. Pretty impressive! If you're buying or selling a home, our biggest piece of advice is to work with someone you genuinely trust - someone who listens, communicates well, and doesn’t treat the process like a transaction. For us, that was Sam. We are so grateful and absolutely love our new home! Jess, Kirk, and Odie (our dog)”
“So after 15 years in Santee we decided to make the move to La Mesa. We chose San Shuck and Golden Empire Realty because we were looking for the best, most reliable and dependable realtor in San Diego. Sam’s reputation as a top real estate agent is well deserved. He got us a great price on our home and made the process so easy. The line of communication was always open and he was more than willing to take calls and texts to expedite the process. This hard work paid off and we were able to sell our home quickly and easily, even in a slowing home sales market. His knowledge and expertise as well as his ability and experience played a huge role in our home-sale success. If you need advice and an expert in home sales, you won’t find a better agent than Sam Shuck and Golden Empire Realty.”
“If you are buying or selling a home and need a real estate agent, look no further than Sam Shuck at Golden Empire reality. He is a very personable individual and knowledgeable in all things concerning real estate. He helped my parents sell their home last year, and they were very pleased with the outcome. He recently sold our home in Lakeside, and we were equally as pleased. He even negotiated a rent back as we were moving out of the state and needed some more time to secure our new home. Thanks for everything, my friend!”
“I had the pleasure of having Sam Shuck as my realtor to sell my townhome. He is extremely knowledgeable, made terrific recommendations, and went above and beyond to assist me.Sam is honest and did what he said and always followed through and updated me. If you need a realtor, Sam is your guy! I highly recommend him -- you won't be sorry.”
“We were introduced to Sam by a mutual friend and he made our home buying experience so easy and less intimidating. He is extremely personable and it felt like he was a long time friend day 1 of working with him. He is responsive and knows of the San Diego area extremely well which for us was a huge plus. I look forward to working with Sam in the future and is the only realtor I recommend when asked by family and friends.”
“If you’re a first time home buyer looking for a real estate agent to help you find a home, Sam is your guy! We did our research and had some ideas in mind, but there are some things you just can’t prepare for in the complicated process of buying a home. That’s where a trusted agent like Sam comes in. He met us where we were at with patience and expertise that made us feel like we were a priority. He worked to understand what we liked and didn’t like. There wasn’t ever any pressure to make a decision we weren’t comfortable with and we felt more than confident in Sam’s ability speaking to the sellers on our behalf. He clearly communicated any deadlines we needed to be aware of and kept us informed of any important details throughout the process. Sam successfully negotiated an offer (under the asking price) and we couldn’t be happier in our new home. Highly recommended!”
“Hands down the best real estate agent I've ever worked with. Was able to make my VA loan experience great! 10 stars!”
“Mr. Sam Shuck has done a marvelous job for our family. Sam has sold multiple properties for us and has ALWAYS generated a price that has far exceeded our expectations. Seemed like the only work we had to do is deposit the checks!! Great company, great guy, super professional! Highly recommended for you Realestate needs. B & L Clabes”
“Sam has been invaluable to me and my husband over the years! He was extremely patient when I was a first time home buyer and then helped my husband and I sell and purchase another home a few years ago. We are continually grateful for all that he's done and plan to continue to use (and recommend him) in the future!”
“Sam was the most professional during our purchase of a condo in Delmar. He worked very closely with our mortgage officer and the entire transaction went as smooth as it possibly could have. I would highly recommend to anyone.”
