Summary

At Samantha Holland Photography, I excelled as Owner, leveraging strong customer relations and marketing acumen to significantly enhance client satisfaction and repeat business. My adept management of operations and strategic problem-solving skills propelled the company to a successful six-figure venture, demonstrating a keen eye for detail and a commitment to excellence.


ADDITIONALLY, as it pertains to real estate, I own rental properties myself (therefore have a basic understanding of laws, regulations, concept of property management) and plan to begin the process of obtaining my real estate license later this fall. I believe that with my excellent ability to manage and execute combined with my desire to continue and expand on my knowledge and experience in the real estate world, you’ll be hard pressed to find a more committed and dynamic applicant.
