Meet Sam Mansour

Sam Mansour has resided in the Seattle area since 1990 and has been in real estate since 2003. Before getting his Real Estate license he worked as a sales manager for an accounting software company.

Sam specializes in Residential homes and Relocation clients in the north-end and eastside including Seattle, Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland, Woodinville, Shoreline, Edmonds, Mukilteo, Lynnwood, Brier, Bothell, Mill Creek, Everett and Lake Stevens.

Sam’s reputation for exceeding his client’s expectations, honest representation, and extensive market knowledge have made him one of the top rated agents in Washington state. Helping a client find their dream home is what Sam loves most about his job. When Sam talks to clients, he is guided by honesty and integrity, and he approaches every transaction with an open mind, giving both honest and objective advice.

Sam joined John L. Scott in 2003 because he’s passionate about working for a company that is as equally focused on contributing to the community as the bottom line. He is grateful for the work that the John L. Scott Foundation does for children’s hospitals across the state and feels especially connected to the cause — his son was treated at Seattle Children’s Hospital for 10 years and he greatly admires the work of the dedicated and caring staff there. Once a year he gives back an entire commission on a transaction to a client that needs it. The Mansour Team also gives back a portion of their income to the John L. Scott Foundation on every transaction.

In his free time, Sam enjoys soccer, biking, traveling, reading, and most of all, spending time with his family.

 

 

Meet Daryl Motes

Daryl Motes has been in real estate since 2005. Before that, he spent 33 years working for the Washington State Ferries. He moved up in Washington State Ferries throughout the years, and by the time he left he was hiring new employees for the terminals and providing yearly training for more than 800 employees.

Daryl’s natural ability to relate to people is apparent each time he works with a new client. Whether they are a first-time buyer, upsizing, downsizing or looking for a commercial venture, he takes everyone under his wings to guide them throughout the transactional process.

Because Daryl has spent the majority of his life in the Seattle area, he is not only familiar with, but very comfortable with Seattle and the surrounding areas. He listens closely to his clients, whether they are out-of-state or in-state buyers, to fully understand what they are looking for in a home. He then tailors his choices for each client based on their preferences, from neighborhood styles, schools, home design and beyond. He works primarily with single family homes, condos and townhomes in Bothell, Mukilteo, Edmonds, Everett and Lynnwood.

In Daryl’s free time, he enjoys "puttering" in his yard, spending time with his sons and their families, hiking, and traveling to tropical locations.
