Samantha was fantastic to work with—super professional, always quick to respond, and incredibly detail-oriented. Her deep knowledge of the Boone, Blowing Rock, Banner Elk, and Linville areas really helped us feel confident in our decisions. She made the whole process smooth and stress-free, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly.

I worked with Samantha to sell my home in Boone, NC. Samantha was very professional in all our communications, knowledgeable about the entire process and guided me with ease. Her knowledge of the area and it's market was helpful. She was very professional & very present in communications by phone & email. Very easy to work with but kept things straight & honest with me, which is what I needed in a realtor. Samantha & her team got me to the finish line. Would highly recommend.

I recently had the pleasure of working with SAM as my realtor in selling my home, and I cannot say enough good things about my experience. From start to finish, SAM was an absolute professional, and their knowledge and expertise in the real estate market was evident in every aspect of the process. One of the things that impressed me the most about SAM was their willingness to go above and beyond for their clients. They were always available to answer any questions I had, and their attention to detail was impeccable. They took the time to fully understand my needs and priorities, and worked tirelessly to ensure that those were met throughout the entire selling process. What I appreciated most about working with SAM was their honesty. They were transparent and upfront about all aspects of the sale, and I never felt like I was being pressured or misled in any way. Their integrity and professionalism were truly refreshing, and I felt like I could trust their advice and recommendations without hesitation. Beyond their knowledge and honesty, SAM was also incredibly helpful in making the selling process as smooth and stress-free as possible. They provided valuable insights and suggestions that ultimately helped me sell my home quickly and for a great price. I could not have asked for a better realtor to guide me through this important decision. Overall, my experience with SAM was nothing short of amazing. They truly went above and beyond to make sure my needs were met, and their dedication and hard work paid off in the successful sale of my home. I would highly recommend SAM to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, helpful, and honest realtor. They were an absolute pleasure to work with, and I am grateful for their assistance in this important milestone in my life. Thank you, SAM

Samantha was wonderful to work with. She made our house hunt fun and the closing process quick and easy. She set up the inspector along with all other service providers that were necessary for an effortless move in day.. She went beyond the job description to help us. We highly recommend using Samantha if you need an agent.

Buyer

Sam is great to work with. She is always available, listened to what we were looking for and then delivered. She was great throughout the process, helping us to navigate the area and saved us a lot of money through the negotiation process. She went above and beyond what we expected from our agent. I highly recommend Sam, we will definitely be using her again when the opportunity arises.

Sam recently sold our home in a matter of days from the listing date and at full asking price. Sam also sold me this same home back in 2020. Sam does a great listing, advertising and communicating through the process. Sam was actually there on our moving day packing boxes and helping us cross the finish line. I would definitely recommend Sam for all of your real estate needs!! Thanks again Sam! Jason

The BEST OF THE BEST. We all know how stressful this housing market is for buyers. I truly believe the key is finding the right agent who navigates this with ease. Samantha is the one. Every local that I spoke to said she is simply the best- there is no person better. We were buying a second home with a very sentimental purpose in mind. She was always so empathetic and listened to our needs and wants. She never seemed rattled when I was unsure or something didn’t feel right. She is honest, so honest. She will give you feedback and is able to sense how you are feeling about a particular listing. I thought we would be searching for a home for a year. Within 4 weeks, Samantha had found us the home we had dreamed of. We literally did not compromise on a single thing. The perfect private location, a good size for the price, beautiful furnishings, land, and a CREEK. All of it. She knew my checklist- and boy did she deliver. I still cannot believe it! She is also so hard-working. It’s obvious that she actually LOVES what she does. She always seemed eager to drive all over looking at listings for us. I really think she looks forward to going to work every day! It was refreshing. She never made us feel like we were inconveniencing her. Also, Sam is very very calm! My husband and I are a little more high-strung. She didn’t seem bothered by this one bit! She would talk me down easily :) Not only did we find a home that exceeded our expectations in the most stressful housing market ever, but we’ve made a lasting friendship. The charm of the Boone and Blowing Rock area isn’t just about the beautiful mtns and endless things to do, it’s truly about the quality of people you encounter on a daily basis up there. Thank you Sam! We are forever grateful!!

We cannot say enough good things about Sam Benfield. She made our buying experience easy and her fantastic personality helped to make it fun! Even in this crazy market! She understood what we were looking for in a rental property and found great choices. She also offered ideas on rental income based on her vast knowledge of the area. Sam went above and beyond, was always on time and followed through on everything she said she would do, even on weekends. She supplied us with a list on contractors we could use, and they have all followed through. Purchasing a home from 3.5 hours away in this market seemed impossible. But not with Sam. We intend to buy more properties in the area and will use her each time without a doubt. Excellent experience!

Buyer | Seller

Samantha was absolutely fantastic. As an out of state buyer, she was extremely knowledgeable of the area and so helpful throughout the entire process. Sam organized everything that we could possibly think and then some. We have already recommended her to friends looking in the Boone area and we will use Samantha on all of our future purchases in the area.

Glenda L.

Sam is an AMAZING agent, plain and simple. She did an amazing job navigating the selling of our home. Sam definitely knows her market; we received 8 offers and were under contract all within 24 hours of listing. Plus we closed at $21,000 over list price! If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, honest, and hardworking agent, this is your girl!!

Molly W.

We so enjoyed working with Sam Benfield as our realtor for our first home purchase. Not only were we looking in a very competitive price range and market, we also closed during the forefront of changes brought by covid-19 restrictions in April of 2020. From our personal experience Sam offered the patience of showing us many listings, sometimes more than once. She is very knowledgeable on all fronts, including the current market, financial concerns, and home construction and improvement. Sam will give you a very professional experience along with her relaxed attitude and honest opinions, which combine to make house hunting a fun experience.

Joni R.

Very unpretentious, hard working women with the knowledge to get things done for you to buy a home!! Showed us multiple homes in Banner El, Boone, Blowing Rock and surrounding areas. Was always ready to go and on time! Even Helped after the sell to get things done to move in and continues to follow up! #samsellsboone

Samantha was a dream at every stage of the process. I’m an anxious person by nature and the prospect of selling my home was frankly terrifying. From the outset Samantha was patient and understanding, taking great care to explain each step (several times when necessary!) as well as all available options to me. She kept me updated on every aspect of the sale and made me feel like a priority even though I knew she was navigating multiple sales in the same timeframe. I appreciated Samantha’s commitment to punctuality and professionalism and found her pleasant to work with. What's more, I never wondered for a second whether my best interest was being served. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this agent to family, friends, and coworkers in the High Country.

Seller

We are very happy with the service that Samantha and Michael provided. We were referred to them from a close friend and we are thankful for that. They have a great knowledge of that area and were very straightforward with information. They were always very quick to respond. I would highly recommend using them for real estate needs in the high country.

Seller

Sam is an outstanding agent. She has a great attention to detail and is very systematic about the process. From start to finish she will make you feel very comfortable and confident about listing your home with her. Very professional, honest and a pleasure to work with.

Samantha was very attentive and considerate at all times. She always followed up on open items and communicated the status to us. She is a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend her.

Lux B.

We can't say enough wonderful things about how great Michael, Sam and the whole Exurbia Real Estate Group team is. They were a blessing to us! They are very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. They genuinely care about their clients and want to help them in any way possible. Selling our home was a breeze having Exurbia Real Estate by our side to walk us through the process. We are now one step closer to making our dreams a reality.

Sam is an excellent realtor. She has plenty of local knowledge and was extremely responsive to our questions. We felt like we had a skilled partner through every step of the search and buying process. We highly recommend her!

Samantha is a very knowledgeable young woman and has good expertise of the area and her job . She will go out of her way to help you and to find out any information you need or have requested .

Sam was great. She is very knowledgeable about the area. Sold our listed house in 2 days and negotiated another purchase for offered amount. Professional and very responsive in timely manner. I would highly reccommend using Sam as your next real estate agent.

Rusty F.

Sam was everything a realtor should be to their Client. She was professional but also treated me and my wife like family and helped us find a house that was truly the best for us and what we wanted.

David H.

Samantha was awesome. She worked with us for over a year. We were fairly picky with the type of house that we wanted and she patiently supported us throughout the process. She had an excellent idea of what we were looking for and showed us houses that were a good fit for our taste. Once we found the house that we wanted to make an offer on, she made the entire process incredibly easy. We have dealt with many other realtors in the past and Samantha is hands down the best realtor that we have ever worked with. I would recommend her to anybody considering buying a home.

Buyer

Where to start... Sam is not only a great realtor but is one of the best people I know. Patience, knowledgeable, kind, understanding, intuitive, and explained details to me in a language easy to comprehend. I feel like she helped us find and negotiate our house but in the process I made a good friend.

Buyer

Samantha was WONDERFUL. I had some unforseen problems selling my old home, which slowed me down in my purchase. Sam was patient and knowledgeable. She helped save my contract on the new house so I could still buy it. Fantastic experience. Highly recommended!

Jason E.

Samantha showed me a house when I was looking at a few things on my own. I was so impressed with her that I ask her to be my agent. She was very timely. She adjusted her schedule to meet my needs. Willing to work after hours to get done what needed to be done. Looked out after me in some areas that I had no experience in to help me get the best deal on the best house for my family. Samantha is very compassionate and has a strong business ethic. She knows the local realtors and the local market. I felt confident with her taking me through the home buying experience and knew that she had my best interest in mind and never let details slip.

Buyer

Ms. Scott is possibly the most professional agent I have ever spoken with. Her knowledge of the area and market is quite remarkable and her attention to detail - more so! I would most certainly recommend her to my friends and any other person needing such an agent to assist them with the sale, purchase, rental or to get questions answered...just out of curiosity!
