At some time in life we all have a story to tell. For me that time is now. If I was to give it a title. I would call it. SAM VO AND I I owned a property in Redcrest Avenue in need of repairs. My parents advice was sell and move on. Something I was very reluctant to do. After much discussion I was at my parent’s house and in walks Sam Vo. Of course my parents had arranged it. After introductions we all sat down to talk. Sam introduced me to all aspects of selling and buying in the current market,. He spent over two hours going over all scenarios of how we could approach the sale of Redcrest and the purchase of a new home. No tiny detail was forgotten. Still not convinced Sam told me to go home and think about it. Sam gave me a few days then phoned and offered to show me a couple of houses. (No pressure) This was to give me more tools to consider my options. One house I liked was a Barfoot and Thompson listing. They refused to share the commission. Sam said the important thing was to get the home I really liked. He would still guide me in any way I wished. AT THAT POINT I MADE A DECISION: • I would list my house with Ray White • I would not buy the Barfoot house unless they shared the commission • I would work with Sam to obtain a new home Sam advised on what to do to present my home in the best possible way. Arranged photos, open homes and arranged a date for the auction. Never promising me the moon but always reminding me he would do his very best to enhance my sale. The auction closed at $965,000 an amazing price for my tiny little Keith Hay house. The following day a place that I felt I could turn into a lovely home and was keen to buy went up for auction but I had a settlement date far in excess of what the seller would accept. My family and I were in the auction room listening to the bidding and really annoyed that I had not taken the bank offer of bridging finance. The auction was closing going, going when Sam stands up and say stop the auction. Would the seller accept $950,000 for an extended settlement date. The seller asked for $960,000. There were no further bids and the house was mine. My family and I left the auction rooms stunned, amazed and over whelmed but also very very happy. I had my next home. From time to time Sam phoned to ensure I was OK and everything was on schedule. To conclude my story I would like to say that my Agent Sam Vo was outstanding in every way. He is the epitome of what a good Agent is and should be and I feel that Ray White should be proud to have such an Agent with so much integrity as Sam. Yours Sincerely Toni May 4 Hazeldene Place, Opaheke
Sam Vo is a bit of a superstar, but in the best possible way. At 23, in less than five years of selling real estate, Sam was the youngest person ever to have achieved the highest possible recognition of performance - Ray White’s Elite Salesperson Status. Not by luck or connections, but by unrelenting drive, hard work and determination to be the best he can be.
Migrating from Vietnam with his family at two, Sam was the eldest of five, and helped his mother raise his four siblings. Sam is proud of growing up as a Kiwi boy, but also of his entrepreneurial nature, inspired and strengthened by involvement in his parents’ first restaurant venture Vo'reintal and second business, Xceptionails. Juggling real estate and another business at the same time to support his family, Sam proved a work ethic second to none. His belief in family values means he understands how important it is to have the security of your own home; a home that suits your family’s needs and is sustainable for your financial situation.
Sam believes that it’s his job to make your life easier. He doesn’t make a distinction about where his job starts and finishes, he simply does whatever it takes to make your property shine. His personal mantra is to treat people the way he would like to be treated, and his eagerness to grow professionally works to your advantage, knowing this will only happen by listening carefully to your needs. A self confessed perfectionist, he doesn’t believe in delegation, taking full responsibility for your successful outcome.
Taking time out for Sam means hanging out with good mates, keeping physically fit, and spending time with his family. He dedicates a spell every year to return to Vietnam to visit his grandmother, and maintain important connections with his birthplace.

We recently listed a property in Manurewa. This house had been rented and had sustained damage. Your agent Sam Vo worked with us giving advice when asked and giving us a list of tradesmen, who we could deal with if we chose to. He was open and honest with us, advising what we should do and what could just be cleaned to maximise the price we could expect for this house. Sam kept in touch with us, visited the site to check on our progress. Any communications and questions received immediate answers. He was focused, extremely hard working and very, very dedicated. As a consequence the property sold for far more than expected. This is not the first house Sam has sold for us and we could not be happier with the results in both cases. In conclusion we wish to thank Sam and Ray White Manurewa for a very successful outcome.
This review goes out to Sam Vo. We had looked at many properties, over a long period of time, in and out of Auckland and really had not experienced that “love” factor or even that “feeling of being at home” in any of our searches. Till one evening, mid August, we called and met Sam Vo at a house we were excited to check out. He was welcoming and very informative as he showed us around the home. Only a few days after our first visit my partner and I decided we both loved this home but after past disappointments, were not optimistic. Then we are advised this little gem was going to be auctioned in one week. We did not do auctions – had never been to one. At Auction time Sam was indeed there for us. He offered us all the support, the right amount of coaxing and really stuck with us as we were beyond nervous. At hammer time we won it. It felt like winning lotto. After the Auction we headed across the way to have a drink. Unbeknownst to us... Sam, and the Ray White team were there too and celebrated with us quite a few drinks. If it is your first home buy, it is the reality that takes a little while to sink in. Can’t thank you enough Sam, for you genuinely wanted this for us, the lovely “survival gift” left for us also (so cute) and Sam was right, our new home does suit us. You made two people over the moon happy. sincerely Wayne and Val XX
!! THANK YOU !! I feel ecstatic and blessed to have found you to have the property sold. Even though I am based in overseas, your constant communication and eagerness to help never made me once think that the geographical distance would be a challenge. You made the entire process (from answering my first call to telling me that the agreement has gone unconditional) a comfortable and assured one. It was easy to approach to you with any questions (however silly it sounded) and I was always happy with the answers and suggestions that you provided ...... it really valued your suggestions especially since I am outside NZ and not aware of the property market trend in Auckland. Your step by step suggestions were awesome which led to an AMAZING selling price!!!! I truly didn't expect getting a selling price of 30k over than my estimate (and here I was thinking I was over-expecting!) Hats off to you Sam! In telling the good news to my friends and families, I have given nearly all the credit to you. Once again, I cannot express the happiness I have right now but this was made possible by you. I will make sure to let my friends know who to go to should they plan to sell their property.
I had the task of arranging the sale of my elderly Mother’s property in Manurewa and after considering a total of four Real Estate Companies I can now say unreservedly that I certainly make the right choice. Sam’s communication was regular with great feedback throughout the process and I found his market knowledge and his confidence to be quite inspirational. Sam’s professional approach was consistent from the start of the transaction to the end result which far exceeded our expectation. I would have no hesitation in dealing with Sam again in the future if the opportunity arose again and would happily recommend him to others.
From the first time we met Sam we felt at ease, due to his calming and confident manner. He took away all our anxiety and pressure when selling our property and purchasing another at Wanganui, by going the "extra mile". Liaising with real estate agents on our behalf and viewing trade me properties resulting in us purchasing our new home. We have the utmost respect for Sam Vo. His honesty and dedication to hard work resulted in getting us top dollar for the sale of our property and have no hesitation in highly recommending him to any prospective sellers. Thank you so much Sam
Sam was helpful and friendly and gave straight answers to our questions.
Right from the beginning Sam had my best interests at heart. He was extremely professional and researched the surrounding area for house sales finding comparable ones, which provided me with a realistic price. Sam drove the sale through his positive and enthusiastic attitude, always keeping me informed throughout the process. He made a marketing plan specific to my property. Within two weeks of our initial meeting, the house had sold at auction with a price that exceeded my expectations. Therefore, I would highly recommend Sam Vo to anyone wanting to sell their property.
Sam has very good excellent clients service experience and very good listener
He wasn't pushy, he explained the house buying process well (we are first home buyers) and he was easily contactable and flexible.
Sam was extremely respectful and polite through out the entire process.
Because he displayed professionalism, integrity and confidence in his abilities. However i'm not satisfied with his superior for not accepting my discount request. I'd like to work with both Sam's in the future yet will learn from this experience to get things confirmed early in the negotiations.
Sam was very helpful and gave great advise. We were very happy with the outcome and would highly recommend him to others. Great relationship skills and very professional.
Sam was very helpful and went out of his way to make it worry free for me
he worked hard to get offers for us and got the best price for us. he kept was well informed of everything going on.
Because Sam is an awesome salesman who follows up all the time and onto things. He works towards building relationships with people and handles matters in an extremely calm way. Right from meeting and greeting stage to the entire sales process so far, he has taken care of things very smoothly. He's professional, smart, very knowledgeable, friendly, honest, and caring. I'd highly recommend him to anyone.....everyone.
From the 1st day to the end, he contacted us with every updates as to how open homes etc went and how many went through the properties and the feedback he got from them.
