You Get Me, and You Get Backup

You'll deal with me start to finish. Behind that sits the Sam Bird-Robinson Real Estate Group at Compass, so nothing stalls because one person is in a meeting.

REALTOR® · Sam Bird-Robinson Real Estate Group at Compass

I moved to Santa Cruz in 2006 for UCSC and stayed. Before real estate I built Ocean2Table, a local fresh-food delivery business connecting fishermen, farmers, and artisans with households and restaurants, and sold it in 2023.

I’m the one who answers your call, walks the property, writes the offer, and stays on escrow daily. If you hire me, you work with me.

The People I Bring In

Most of a sale is coordination. These are the trades and professionals I schedule so you don’t have to chase anybody.

Lenders

Local lenders who answer the phone and close on time. In a competitive offer, a lender the listing agent trusts is worth real money.

Inspectors

General, roof, sewer, pest, and foundation. I know which ones write a report you can actually negotiate with.

Trades and stagers

Painters, gardeners, haulers, handymen, and stagers. For sellers I schedule them, meet them, and keep the timeline.

Permit and planning help

When a property has permit history problems, I know who to call at the county and which consultants sort it fastest.

Backed by Compass

Compass gives the listings national reach, professional marketing, and tools that a small independent office can’t match. The local judgement is still mine. The distribution is theirs.
