Octavia was recommended through my grandmother. She helped her many years ago find her beautiful home. Octavia also helped a family friend find her dream home. Coming from NewYork to Delaware i trusted no one else but her to help my family find our home. Best decision ever. We are beyond happy with our new home. We highly recommend her.

I would recommend Octavia to all my family and friend because I know they will be in good hands. Octavia made my first time buying experience fun, exciting, and stress-free. she is so patient, I would ask her the same questions over and over and she always explained them to me in a polite way. Octavia is an people person and is great at her job. She made me feel like I belonged to the Century 21 Gold key family. This is why i will always choose Century 21 Gold key and Octavia.

I was looking for someone that's trustworthy with great flexibility and excellent commination skills and Octavia exceeded theses requirements.

Octavia understood the sales in my neighborhood and she worked with me and listened to my needs.

Octavia was well prepared and coached me on all aspects from staging to choosing offers. She explained everything in detail and was responsive to all inquiries. She showed that she wanted what was best for me.

Octavia made the process manageable. She was professional, patient, knowledgeable, and provide support in all areas. I have already recommended her to others possibly interested in selling their homes.

This was my first time working with Octavia and she did an outstanding job. I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking to sale or buy a property. She is every knowledgeable and kept on top of everything from start to the end of deal. Octavia also recommend things that needed to be done during the renovation of property to make the property more attractive to potential buyers. She reviewed the closing documents from the title company and was able to point out things that needs to corrected during closing. She went above and beyond and I Thank you Octavia for your time and patience.

Octavia was absolutely amazing! She was invested in our needs for what we were looking for. We looked at over 50 properties due to the change in the market. Octavia stuck by us and we all pushed through. She listened to what we said we wanted in a home and got us exactly that. She advocated for us on multiple properties. Octavia is phenomenal. A beautiful woman inside and out!

We love Octavia! After spending 6+ months with her trying to find a home in this crazy market, Octavia has become like family! We enjoyed spending time with her looking at home! We always had smiles a laughs with every interaction.

Octavia Samuels has proven to me to be a true realtor. She is very up to date on the trends of the real estate world. She is knowledgeable about home inspections, appraisals, codes, and many other aspects that deal with purchasing and selling a home. We recommend her as a true representative of the Century 21 Gold Key label.
We have bought a home with Octavia, sold a home to move out of state and now we have bought another home moving back to Delaware. She kept communicating with us and did whatever she had to do to accommodate us in showing homes since we had to view homes virtually because of being out of state. Use Octavia Samuels for your real estate needs!!

I worked with Octavia briefly, she did everything in her power to help me, but I had some difficulties and had to put my house hunting on hold. I told her as soon as I was ready I wouldn't use anyone but her.
When the time came, I did just that. In this sellers market we were getting crushed. I bid on 20 house. Poor Octavia wrote ever offer, took me to every house without complaint and positive vibes and encouraging words each time. I even exclaimed one time..I GIVE UP!!! OCTAVIA, I QUIT. IM JUST GOING TO RENT! Octavia, calm and reassuring, said. No Nicole. We got this. It's coming. It's your time. I said ok. 1 more! That's it.
Octavia was right. She worked her magic and even in this marker gor me sellers assistance! Even the mortgage company was shocked!
He said I have to tell people this! They will not believe this! Octavia is amazing. I said yes. Yes she is! I haven't given her, a shout out on social media yet because I have some personal things I'm dealing with but I have spread her name by word of mouth, because I want everyone buying a home to have the same experiences that I did. Minus the give up part, of course. Octavia is the best thing is the absolute best and I just love her

I collaborated with Octavia in the past when purchasing a home, which is why I reached out to work with her again to sell my home. Octavia is very experienced and professional. She was extremely knowledgeable and transparent throughout the home buying and selling process. As stressful as the process of selling a home can be, she helped me every step of the way and truly made the process a breeze!

Octavia was on top of the entire home purchasing process. The first home I tried to purchase fell through due to the seller. Octavia handled the entire process professionally. She protected my interests and made sure that I got back all the moneies I spent was returned in a timely manner. When I found the house that I finally purchased, Octavia provided caring and respectful service and looked out for my needs. I would recommend Octavia to anyone looking for a real estate agent that will respect your time and your needs. She was just wonderful.

Octavia Samuels was very conservative about sharing her knowledge of the Wilmington area so as not to steer my purchase (which I understand is of critical legal and social importance) while still sharing important details about homes and communities that were rooted in factual observation.
Octavia was punctual at every showing. She shared requests for information and negotiations with the seller's agent usually within the hour of my request, and almost always on the same day, which was extremely helpful throughout the process of purchasing.
Octavia noted fashions of renovation details, quality of workmanship, potential structural issues, and potential mechanical/electrical issues that helped estimate potential renovation costs at the showing-phase of the home-buying process, which was extremely helpful in the selection of my home.
Octavia's experience was critical in negotiating credits and home-improvements before closing. I was bear-ish for fear of losing the property in a seller's market. She was bull-ish and she was right; almost all of the major issues noted by the home inspector were fixed and/or credited, which is more than what I would have bargained for.

Octavia Samuels worked in communicating with me and sellers, organizing and sending documents, other clerical duties, and even some showings after business hours, which was critical due to my own working situation. She was flexible and considerate. She helped make home-buying fun with her glowing personality while remaining professional throughout.
