Testimonials

"

I’ve known Sam for many years now and our organizations partnered on several successful
developments, starting in 2017 with Camp Salute. As People For People was providing assistance for the Veteran community, we began to recognize the real need to provide a combination of housing, support, and camaraderie for our Veterans. Sam took the time to truly listen to our vision for Camp Salute, and then he figured out how to develop it successfully with us as a partner. I highly recommend working with Sam on any multifamily real estate opportunity!
