"The real estate market was frozen, the financial markets had imploded, the condo was vacant and "tired" and we were trying to sell it long distance from the East Coast – plenty of reasons to be negative and discouraging. Amazingly, Sam Kendricks, who came highly recommended from a neighbor, was not negative, but very practical and realistic. He not only agreed to talk to me about listing the property, but got to work immediately; he provided market data, pricing info, recommendations on how to make the place as appealing as possible, suggestions of trusted service providers to do the necessary work – and counseled LOTS of patience and pragmatism. Based on the market conditions, I knew I would be lucky to have a sale in 9-12 months. I followed Sam's recommendations, and he scheduled all of the necessary service providers, made sure that they completed all of the work according to the tight deadlines we had set, and kept me informed of the progress – and a few unexpected snags – with a terrific blend of professionalism and good humor. Just as the final work was being completed and we were getting ready to put it on the market, Sam found a buyer! From signing the listing agreement to closing the deal, just a few weeks had passed – a true miracle, especially given the market conditions. This incredible success is all thanks to Sam – his knowledge, experience and strong network in the real estate industry and beyond. Sam is confidence inspiring – patient, practical, knowledgeable and personable – and he gets results! I would highly recommend Sam for your real estate needs. It is a privilege to work with him." – Linda F.

"Sam was recommended by a friend and far exceeded expectations as my agent. He was honest and straightforward from the start and committed to helping me sell my house in a bad market and abnormal circumstances. No matter the concern, Sam was always accessible and eager to help. He went beyond the call of duty to help me coordinate everything while living overseas, and stuck with me throughout the long process of selling my house. I will definitely recommend Sam to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Los Alamos area." – Matt P.
"Sam Kendricks' knowledge of the Los Alamos real estate market and sure sense of what buyers want and what sellers need made it possible for us to sell our condo in today's depressed market. Sam kept us updated about current trends, even when there was little or no activity on our property. Sam made us feel that somebody was really taking care of us and looking out for our interests. Sam is realistic, but he is also very positive about the future of Los Alamos and the benefits of being a member of this community." – Carolyn M. & Rick W.
"Sam is the man with the plan! He immediately came forward with detailed market information and a thorough, yet reasonable, plan for preparing our home for the market. His hard work and honesty made us comfortable following his advice... and our house sold within two weeks." – Eric & Gayle G.
"The best thing about Sam is that he takes all of the stress out of a home-buying experience. You can trust him to understand the market, the paperwork, and a buyer's individual needs. He used all of this information to help us, but we never felt pressured, hurried, or rushed. With his patience and guidance, we found the perfect place!" – David & Danielle S.
"Sam Kendricks worked very hard in a declining market to make sure my home was shown. He took care of scheduling inspectors and electricians while I was out of town. Sam made my tough situation into a pleasant experience. I have made a long-time friend, and would recommend Sam to anyone." – Valerie A.
“My wife and I have worked with Sam Kendricks on several business-related transactions. We are both impressed with his professionalism and dedication to his clients. We highly recommend Sam to all prospective clients. Los Alamos Monitor readers voted Sam No. 1 Realtor in the 2006 Reader’s Choice Awards. We understand why!” – Craig & Rachel W.
"When we relocated to Los Alamos, Sam was the best welcoming committee we could have had. We had a very uncertain circumstance, but Sam committed himself to helping us find everything we needed in town. His patience was evident and finally paid off after over 16 months and 60 home tours after we relocated. His knowledge led us to the right people to aid us in the inspection and mortgage process as well. He became a hard and fast valued friend, and our realtor on the side. I have bought and sold several homes, but Sam was the best of all the realtors I have known and I have several I can call friend." – John M.
“Sam was very professional and friendly. He definitely went the extra mile for us and we appreciate everything he did! Thank you Sam!” – Don & Kelly R.
“Working with Sam is a pleasure. His thoughtfulness and patience are rare in today's market. He spent nearly two years trying to help me find the right house. He gained my trust from the very beginning with his honesty, friendliness and willingness to help. When I finally found the perfect house, Sam made my buying experience completely seamless. Sam was there for me through the entire process. When you buy a house from Sam, you not only get a wonderful house, you also gain a friend. It was the most pleasant home buying experience I have ever had. I am eternally grateful to Sam and would recommend him to all of my friends and family. I know they would not be disappointed." – April B.
“Sam was professional, thorough and attentive from start to finish and handled a challenging sale with integrity and sound advice. We already have recommended him to others and will continue to do so!” – Jason & Rachael H.
“Sam is a lifesaver! His no-pressure sale style allows you to make your decision without influence. He literally took care of everything when we purchased our home. We had vacation plans when our home appeared on the market. Sam told us to go and have fun. While we were gone he scheduled the inspectors, appraisers, roofers, and electricians for us while meeting with them all and keeping us abreast via e-mail. Upon our return he made sure we understood what everything meant. We bought the house and have been extremely happy with it. I will list and buy with Sam again and again. I have referred many people to him and have received such positive feedback from everyone that has dealt with him. It is no wonder that he was voted "Readers Choice Best Realtor"! For market knowledge and personable service, Sam is the Best Realtor!” – Justin & Cori G.

“Sam Kendricks was our realtor, for the purchase of our home in White Rock. While our search took us eight months, Sam remained by our side to the end, and never lost patience or faith in us. We relied on him to provide honest insight on the market, the sellers we presented offers to, and the condition of the homes we toured. Our relationship with him turned to friendship, as we learned he was interested more in helping us achieve our goals, rather than just 'making the sale'. I have highly recommended him to friends and family, and will continue to do so. If and when we put our home up for sale, we will not hesitate to have Sam represent us.” – Kim K.
“Sam made buying a home in Los Alamos a very pleasant experience. He carefully considered our needs and wishes and even more importantly, he evaluated our reactions to the homes we looked at and didn’t waste our time or discourage us with inappropriate properties. Since I was new to the area he made a point of showing me around and providing me with information about the community. By the time we were home owners, we felt Sam was one of our first new friends in the community.” – Linda C.
"Sam Kendricks was referred to us by a realtor friend in Santa Fe. Since we really didn't know each other, Sam offered to come to our house (35 miles away) to meet and talk with us. Our primary goal was to find someone we could trust. Sam's integrity was immediately apparent. We both liked and trusted him on the spot. Sam was up-front, honest and realistic from the beginning. Most importantly, he listened to what we wanted. We had a small parcel of land at a minimal price. Sam was not going to make a great deal of money on this transaction. He worked the listing and treated us, as though this was a lucrative deal. He kept in contact with us as appropriate and when things were happening, he let us know immediately. He gave us solid advice which was designed with our best interest in mind. Sam worked with us in developing a real estate contract so we might maximize our return from the property and make it available to someone who might not otherwise qualify. This required a great deal of work on his part and we all learned from the process. Thanks in large part to Sam, we now have new neighbors we welcome living next door. We have recommended Sam to numerous others and will continue to do so. As far as we're concerned, Sam is head and shoulders above most of the other realtors in the Jemez area and we recommend him without reservation. – Connie D. & Bob L.
