Donny Samson

Donny Samson is a recruitment dynamo and growth strategist who has propelled Samson Properties into an industry powerhouse. In 2024 alone, he added over 1,200 REALTORS® to the firm, orchestrated mergers with 10 brokerages and opened five new offices—all while guiding nearly 6,000 REALTORS® through a challenging market. Under his leadership, Samson Properties claimed the top spot for homes sold in Virginia and West Virginia, with marketshare in Berkeley and Jefferson Counties skyrocketing from 0.5% to 15% in just two years.

Samson’s secret? A REALTOR®-first mentality that prioritizes support, training and financial success.

“I love our company and the way everyone helps each other out,” Samson says. “This has been an incredibly challenging year for REALTORS®, but focusing on helping everyone sell more homes means we all win.”

Thanks to Samson’s vision, the company achieved a 30% year-over-year increase in sales, expanded its footprint in D.C. and Richmond, and solidified its place as a market leader.
