Meet Sam

I'm a REALTOR in Calgary, and I focus on people buying their first home, a home with a legal suite, or their next investment property, mostly in northwest Calgary, though I work with investors citywide.
Here's the thing about real estate: most people think they only have one option. My job is helping you see the two or three you actually have, simplify the numbers, and choose with confidence, not pressure. I'm an advisor, not a salesperson. I look at every deal from your side of the table, not mine. Sometimes that means telling you not to buy, or not to sell, right now. That's fine by me. It's your decision, not mine to make for you.
I've been an active real estate investor since 2005, with 14 properties and more than 30 rental doors along the way, mostly buy-and-hold, mostly homes with legal secondary suites. I've helped both of my sons become investors too, which is one of the things I'm proudest of in this business.
Before real estate, I spent 30 years in engineering and design, working on projects across Canada, the U.S., and Norway. That background is where the calm, steady, problem-solving approach comes from. You're not the first person I've helped work through a complicated decision with a lot of moving parts.
I grew up in Badger's Quay, a small fishing community on the northeast coast of Newfoundland, where my dad was the local handyman, and I was his sidekick from a young age. Those early lessons about hard work and doing things right still guide how I work today.
Calgary's been home since 1997. My wife teaches junior high, and we've got two sons, and for most of the last 25 years, we've spent driving them to hockey rinks. When I'm not working with clients, you'll find us camping.
Clients tend to describe me as calm, steady, and a straight shooter. I try to keep emotion out of the decision-making, explain things in plain terms, and I won't push you into a move that doesn't feel right, whether you're a first-time buyer, a growing family, a downsizer, or an investor.
If you're weighing your options in Royal Oak, Tuscany, Sage Hill, or anywhere else in the northwest, reach out. A phone call costs you nothing.
REVIEWS
- October 2026 - Sam Pond is among the most professional and dedicated real estate agents I have encountered. He exceeded expectations to keep our transaction smooth from beginning to end. He is highly knowledgeable, very responsive, and an excellent negotiator. He maintains contacts for every service or contractor you might need, from condo document review to home inspection, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and more. We were unsure about what to buy at first, but Sam noted our preferences and identified strong options. We viewed only a few homes before unexpectedly falling in love with the last one. Sam helped us negotiate and handle several challenges, guiding us through each step with great patience. He communicated promptly and quickly. His expertise in the Calgary market is outstanding and supported a fair offer. He listened carefully and never pressured us. We would certainly recommend him to anyone buying or selling a home. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five stars all the way!!! November 2024 - I cannot say enough good things about Sam and the absolute pleasure it was working with him! Sam provided phenomenal advice and support throughout the sale process of my property. He went above and beyond and provided crucial information regarding the market, etc. His expertise, experience and integrity were outstanding. Whether you are looking to purchase or sell, I would highly recommend Sam and I will most definitely be referring all of my family, friends and colleagues alike to him. Thanks a million Sam!
Keri AW - We highly recommend Sam. We kind of stumbled across each other when we were looking for a rental property. We live in Vancouver and he was super helpful and accommodating given we are not local and not familiar with the area. We flew into Calgary and Sam graciously made our viewings and at the end our purchase seamless. We highly recommend Sam and honestly, we feel like he is now a friend. Well done.vanita tyszka
- Sam is knowledgeable and experienced, but first and foremost he positions his client relationships with mutual respect. He guided our son through the purchase of his first home and coached him through considering a rental suite. Sam struck the perfect balance of partnership with our son while including Mom and Dad along the way. I would highly recommend Sam to anyone looking for their next home.Sandra Young
