Sam started her career in the telecommunications industry and after having her second child, decided to make the move to Property Management. With over 9 years' experience with Summit Property Management, Sam has also completed her New Zealand Certificate in Residential Property Management Level 4.
Sam prides herself in maintaining an exceptional level of service with client relations, and return on investment being at the top of her list. 'My decision to join Summit Property Management has proven to be one of the best choices - with the experience my team has acquired, the company culture, professionalism, ongoing training and knowledge of the industry I am backed up by an outstanding team of professionals.'
Originally from Matamata, Sam was raised in Nelson from a young age and involved in various sporting clubs such as Nelson Rugby Football Club, Nelson Bays Māori Rugby and Nelson Gymnastics.
Outside of Sam's passion for property management she enjoys spending time with her family, working in the community, working on her lifestyle property and growing her expertise.
As a Property Manager, you have lived up to all and above our expectations. We have had many property managers in the past 17 years and Sam by far you have been the best that we have employed.
I have found Sam more than helpful, obliging and willing to assist in any matter that has arisen with the property and often going way above what would be expected of her in a more than generous manner.
As we are currently living in Australia it is important for us to have someone who cares about our property. Sam has communicated with us on all property maintenance issues and arranged the relevant tradespeople to remedy any problems.
I am impressed with the excellent service provided by the friendly Summit team and appreciate the professional way in which Sam managed the property. Being well informed allowed me to be worry-free, despite being in a different country.
Sam was recommended to us. She's well aware of any homeowners concerns and meticulous with all aspects of property maintenance. She found us wonderful people who care for our property as if it were theirs. She's easy to communicate with and goes above and beyond to alleviate any concerns. We feel very confident that our future home is in great hands and recommend Samantha as your Property Manager.
Sam is a detail-oriented person with a firm but fair approach to property management that provides a good experience for both landlords and tenants. Sam is forward-thinking and has a responsible approach to maintenance and other long-term considerations for the landlord. Cannot recommend Sam more highly!
Thank you for the assistance in managing the letting and tenancy of our property. The work you gave effect to ensure our property was brought up to standards required by legislation took a huge weight off our shoulders. We are indeed grateful for the work you carried out on our behalf. The home we returned to was in many ways an improvement on the home we left.
Sam Buys of Summit Property Management is a thoughtful, responsive, and professional property manager with a proactive, can-do attitude that makes renting a property smooth sailing. She looks after both tenants and property owners well.
Honestly, I cannot speak highly enough of Sam Buys from Summit - she is our property manager, and she is a one-of-a-kind legend. We have never used a letting agency before, and when we have been tenants in the past, we did not enjoy dealing with the profession. Sam has exceeded expectations on all fronts. She represents our interests so well that we have learned that the best thing to do is just to follow Sam's advice. My wife and I are especially pleased about the innovation of videos of the property inspection - it is heartening to see our little property from time to time in such beautiful condition. Thank you, Sam.
I would recommend contacting Sam Buys if you are looking for a rental. She is amazing. I am very glad that she was my property manager. I hope she is a great value to Summit Property Management.
We rented with Summit, and Sam Buys, the property manager, was always responsive to our needs. The rental home came to us immaculate. Really appreciated that after coming from the Auckland housing market. If you ever can work with Sam (as someone who wants to rent their home or is renting), I highly recommend her!
Sam Buys has been our property manager for our Tahunanui property for several years before putting it on the market. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to get a property manager - she has always been so easy to contact, with great communication, has helped with several insurance payouts for bathroom and earthquake repairs, and has always been so knowledgeable and practical when it comes to maintenance and upgrades. It has been great to be able to put my trust in Sam, since I don't live in Nelson, and I was always confident that she would look after the house/my investment. Not only this, but she treated the tenants so well and built great relationships - she definitely goes above and beyond, and I absolutely recommend her.
