About Sam

Sam has been selling real estate throughout Southern California since 1986. Based in Irvine, he has been a top-selling agent since day 1, achieving Rookie of the Year in his first year. Since then, he has received more awards than he can count, including Re/Max Executive and 100% Clubs, and achieving the coveted Hall of Fame status at First Team Real Estate. Sam’s knowledge of real estate is as vast as it is deep. He is infinitely familiar with real estate throughout Southern California. Having sold homes, investment properties, and apartments from Lomita to Fallbrook and from Huntington Beach to Riverside and Jurupa Valley. Whether working with families to find their “dream home" or with those interested in investment properties, placing the client’s interests first is at the core of Sam’s philosophy. He emphasizes the importance of developing a relationship with clients, placing the utmost importance on carefully guiding them as they make one of the biggest investments of their lives. He believes that when you take care of a client like it was your own son or daughter, they will refer their friends and family members to him. And they do, 88% of Sam's business comes from referrals and past clients. Sam has never been concerned about the number of homes he sells. But rather by the number of relationships he builds. He is deeply devoted to always helping his clients, be it climbing on the roof of a home to slather tar on a leaky roof in a pounding rainstorm, coaching and refereeing kids’ soccer games, donating blood platelets, or making a donation to the local Veterans of Foreign Wars Chapter, Sam is always at your beck and call. Whether you are in the market to buy or sell a home, or both, you know that Sam is always there to help you through the process. Sam believes he is the luckiest guy in the world. Because of this, he enjoys giving back to the community and to his clients. For the past 22 years, Sam has hosted a client appreciation Angel game. The event has a special name, “Annual Sam Chinarian Takes Everyone To The Angel Game." Since that is too long, they just call it ASCTETTAG. This year he entertained 388 clients and friends at the Angels vs Seattle Mariners game on June 25th. Sam’s guests enjoyed an amazing pregame BBQ tailgate party, the game, and afterward, there was a postgame dessert party. When Sam is not selling Real Estate, he enjoys spending time boating and attempting to water ski (he is not very good) on Lake Powell and Lake Mead. He has been married to his wife Jeri for 43 years. Jeri retired in June of 2021 where she was the Director of Budgeting for Anaheim Union High School District. She now spends her days consulting school districts on budgeting throughout Orange and LA Counties They have two children. Their daughter, Kelly, is a mental health therapist working in special education with Irvine Unified School District. Their son, Scott, is a professional sports agent. Kelly and her husband Matt, gave Sam and Jeri two grandsons, Henry who is now 6, and Leo who is 4 years old.

Sam has extensive experience in selling real estate. He explained in detail and came up with a reasonable sales price and after we entered escrow, assisted in the numerous requests from the buyer, finding vendors, and making suggestions which made the whole process easier than expected.

The Realtor To Get it Done

Working with Sam is Pleasant. He cares about what he does and takes very good care of his clients. Sam sold my Chula Vista Home back in October of 2023. Ran into a few hiccups but Sam was on top of everything through the whole process. He keep me informed of everything throughout and made the sale happen. I really appreciate his support and care and informative ways. Thank You Sam
