Walid Samaha

Having worked in finance and marketing for several years, Walid Samaha has carried over his business acumen, flair for strategic thinking, and unwavering commitment to providing exceptional customer experience to his career as a real estate professional. A lifelong resident of the Greater Boston area, Walid is very active in a number of regional foundations and charities and engages regularly with his wide network of former colleagues and clients. Since joining The Sarkis Team at Douglas Elliman earlier this year, he has already made an impact, driving new business to this top-producing group.

One of the key driving factors in Walid’s decision to pursue a career in luxury residential real estate is the satisfaction he finds in helping clients achieve their objectives. “I have always been interested in real estate. To me, it is about making connections. It starts with establishing a rapport with the client - getting to know each other and establishing the trust. Then it’s about connecting that client to the right property to buy or invest in, or, in the case of a seller, positioning the property to sell to the right buyer. It is such a fascinating process, and my prior background in business and marketing gives me a real edge.”

Walid knows that first and foremost, the process starts with really listening and truly understanding what clients are looking for - and from there, plotting out the path to get them there. Boston’s competitive marketplace can be a difficult one to navigate, and Walid is committed to making sure his clients are well-informed and understand every stage of the process. His keen negotiating skills, sound instincts, outstanding attention to detail, and personable nature - coupled with the expertise of his colleagues and the power of Douglas Elliman - have quickly set him apart.

Walid holds degrees in Economics and Finance from UMass. He is fluent in Arabic and, in his free time, volunteers in the community and enjoys watching and playing sports.
