Sam really knows the Atlanta area and was great fun to work with on the sale and purchase of our homes. I would recommend him to anyone who wants sound advice and a dedicated agent!

Buyer & Seller

Sam's knowledge and skills are unmatched. He successfully sold our home off-market for top dollar, and his negotiating skills were instrumental in our new home purchase. We were looking for something very specific in our search, and Sam covered all the bases and options when showing us property. It was a pleasure working with Sam, and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell.

Buyer

Sam did it again! I’ve had multiple transactions with Sam over the years. He does very thorough research on pricing and competition. Last week we closed a sale on our house that never even hit the market, and our price was way above market comps. He’s a great communicator and social media marketing machine. Stop interviewing agents! Sam is the agent who will get the deal closed at top market price and manage the entire stressful process seamlessly with a great team!

Wayne H.

Seller

I chose to sell my home in a very difficult seller’s market, and I was grateful to have Sam as my agent, advising and leading the way on all issues, large and small. Sam brings an exceptional and seasoned team to the table. From preparing the home for sale, to staging, to showing, negotiating offers, and getting us to the closing table, Sam and his team provided sound advice, guidance, and leadership every step of the way. Sam also has a very personable, supportive, and friendly approach. I found myself working alongside a trusted advisor and a friend. Please accept this as my highest possible recommendation for working with Sam Bayne as your realtor.

Gerry C.

I worked with Sam on the sale of our house on King Road. Sam did a great job, and I am comfortable saying I got the maximum price on the sale of our home thanks to Sam. He provided me with great advice on things I needed to change or get done before I listed the house so that it showed better. He also helped me determine the correct price to list the house to get the maximum I could for the house but also not too high to discourage potential buyers.

Sam provided excellent service and outstanding guidance as we navigated the complex sale of a family member's Buckhead apartment. He was detail-oriented and always responsive. His view of the market was spot on and enabled us to sell at a good price, which aligned with our expectations. Sam is a true professional.

Kristy F.

Sam has been our agent on 4 home sales over the years. He knows Atlanta inside and out and always has his ear to the ground on housing trends. His team makes it look easy.

Seller

We would hire Sam again without hesitation. He priced our house correctly, gave good advice on prepping our house for sale, connected us to contractors when we needed one, and met all the schedules we established from the beginning. He communicated with us all along the way, and when we went under contract, was thorough in making sure we did everything we needed to do prior to closing. When we started the negotiations, we trusted Sam to have our best interests on the table. We were under contract 2 days after listing it, and closed without any problems.

Seller

Sam is truly one of the most professional Real Estate agents I've ever met. He was knowledgeable and responsive, and his negotiation skills made our sale go smoothly. I would highly recommend Sam for any of your real estate needs!

Armand

Sam is knowledgeable about Atlanta's market and works diligently, helping buyers and/or sellers accomplish their goals with honesty and integrity. Our home was not listed, and he brought a buyer and a contract in 24 hours.

Seller

A year ago, I watched Sam quickly sell a house in our neighborhood for an excellent price, so I contacted him to do a market evaluation of our home. What set him apart from the other agents we met with was his approach to finding comps. He also stressed the emphasis he puts on marketing, and he created an amazing video that truly told the story of our home. We chose Sam to list our home because we had confidence that he would sell it in the price range he recommended. Sam made several suggestions on changes we should make to the house to enhance its appearance in photos and ensure it looked completely updated. We agreed to a quiet listing and had a full-price offer the first day it was shown; our home went under contract two days later at slightly above list. Sam contacted agents he has relationships with in the Atlanta area before our home hit the market, and one of his connections brought us the perfect buyer. It was so easy. Sam is professional, confident, and an excellent negotiator. We'd highly recommend Sam to sell your home!

Seller

We had a great deal of faith in Sam from the very beginning of our listing. He explained the market very well and backed it up with up-to-date statistics. Not only was he knowledgeable, but he was also readily available if we had any questions. Sam was also very good at listening to our concerns and helping us make decisions along the way. He also negotiated a very good price for our property. We would recommend him to help with any real estate transaction.

We couldn't have found a better real estate professional to handle the sale of our home in Atlanta. Sam followed through from getting the house ready for sale to the end of the closing. You can't go wrong with Sam!

Sam is a professional with expertise in the luxury home market. We were dealing with very challenging and at times irrational buyers; despite this, Sam managed to get the deal done. I would fully recommend Sam to anyone buying or selling in the Atlanta luxury market.

Sam is a consummate professional. He knows the Atlanta market as well as anyone and can navigate its many nuances with ease. The best part about Sam is his calm and collected demeanor. Selling a house is stressful, and Sam does a great job of giving sellers comfort throughout the process.

Sam provided my family with a friendly and professional experience when selling our home. He was always available and helped us negotiate our new home purchase at a price we felt comfortable with.

Sam is the go-to expert for high-end real estate in the Buckhead area. We knew we wanted someone who was professional, knowledgeable, and honest to represent us when selling our home, and Sam was the perfect person for the job.

I cannot recommend Sam and his team enough, and I look forward to working with Sam in the future.

Seller

Our experience with Sam was beyond expectations. We’d worked with other agents, but none brought the professionalism, responsiveness, and market knowledge he did. Sam took the stress out of the home-selling process, managing issues and taking on the inevitable challenges so we could relax and move on to our next home. Plus, he knew how to market not only locally but nationally to reach the most buyers, and found us the perfect one. Can’t say enough. Beyond impressed!

Wendy L.

We have recently worked with Sam, and I would highly recommend him. He is honest, knowledgeable, and very responsive. We did not have an agent when we showed interest in one of his listings; Sam represented us as well as the seller, and it was a pleasure to work with him.

Jeff I.

We could not say more positive things about dealing with Sam Bayne and Atlanta Fine Homes. Sam's entire team took care of selling our home in Buckhead from start to finish. They helped us "prep" the house properly for the professional photo shoot and virtual tour, and set the home up to show well to prospective buyers. Sam's knowledge of the area helped to set the right price early on in the sales process. Sam was helpful in finding us resources to address the buyers' service requests before closing, truly helpful during this COVID mess. We sold our home within 90 days and close to asking price, which was exactly what Sam set as a reasonable expectation. We would absolutely recommend using Sam and his team.

Seller

Sam is the agent to close the deal. He knows just how to handle multiple personalities and issues and work them out quickly behind the scenes. No stress for us. Thank you, Sam.

Blanchette M.

I am a developer in Atlanta and have worked with many of the top agents. It’s no wonder why Sam Bayne continues to be one of the top agents in Atlanta. Today, Sam Bayne sold a house for me, and we ended up getting 95% of the asking price. We were able to get close to our asking price because Sam priced the house correctly. He knows the market and is respected by other agents. He is a total pro, has incredible marketing knowledge and skills, and just gets it done. He understands that real estate is a service business. He is professional, courteous, honest, and reliable. His presence on social media is navigated by an expert staff. Sam is a rock star when it comes to agents. If you’re selling a house, hire a real pro.

Michael C.

If you want the most knowledgeable, attentive, hard-working real estate agent in Atlanta, then you must choose Sam! I can’t imagine using anyone else. His marketing team was incredible, and he spared no expense getting our home seen in the best way. We listed our home at a time we thought was risky, but Sam has so many contacts that we never felt he was short on prospective clients. We felt he made our home a priority even though he had other listings. He knows how to coordinate his showings to give all of his clients the attention they need. He vetted the buyers and showed our home in the best possible light. His personal touch and expertise during negotiation were stellar. I have been an agent in NYC, and I know the difference between someone who walks the walk and one who talks the talk. He is a straight shooter, and his advice was spot on. He has an excellent reputation among his peers and a very impressive record of selling the most expensive homes in Buckhead. He brings terrific energy and is always accessible. He will always get right back to you if he misses your call. I would highly suggest you call Sam Bayne when you are ready to buy or sell a home in Atlanta. Thank you, Sam, for selling my house!

I highly recommend Sam, and would definitely use him again in the future!

Beth D.

Sam has an excellent reputation among his peers and a very impressive record of selling the most expensive homes in Buckhead. His market expertise is best-in-class. He is honest and up front about pricing from the very beginning and didn’t waste our time. He brings terrific energy and is always accessible.

Barbara D.

As an attorney, I needed help in selling a client's beautiful, upper-end estate home and acreage in a sparsely populated, rural area. Sam and his team did a great fly-over video, which gave the property much-needed exposure to the wealthier surrounding metropolitan areas. Sam quickly figured out the pricing, worked with all potential agents, and got the property sold in a timely fashion. In tense and pressured moments, Sam remained calm, got the deal done, and everyone involved walked away satisfied.

J Matthew A.

Sold house twice; first Buyer defaulted - all within approx. 90 days. Excellent marketing materials, website, and social media. Professional. Identified strengths of home and featured them well. Confident and works very hard. If you work with Sam and do your part, he will sell your home. Sam's colleagues were delightful to work with on this listing and supported Sam well. Sotheby's Broker Bill Rawlings is awesome too! Bill is experienced, market savvy, and responsive.

Seller

Best agent I've ever worked with! Sam managed a complicated sale with professionalism and compassion. He manages clients equally at $1,000,000 as he does at $7,000,000. Sam is responsive, knowledgeable, and gets the job done with zero drama. I recommend Sam and his team with full confidence.
