Blake Samples

I got my start in real estate back in 2014 in Nashville, TN, combining a background in marketing with a real drive to help people navigate one of life’s biggest decisions with clarity and confidence. I was raised on the Gulf Coast, and after years away, moving back—this time to the St. Pete and Tampa Bay area—feels like coming home in the best way.

Whether someone’s buying their first home or selling their fifth, I believe everyone deserves the same level of attention, respect, and expertise regardless of price point. I’ve been fortunate to earn top producer status, mentor newer agents, and stay actively involved in causes that matter to me—because for me, real estate has always been about people, not just property.

Outside of work, I’m usually in a kickball league, playing sand volleyball, or hanging out with my two dogs, George and Millie—they run the show!

Joining Smith & Associates was a natural fit. I wanted to be part of a brokerage that shares my values: high standards, genuine care, and a strong connection to the community. If you’re ready for your next chapter in homeownership, I’d be honored to help you get there.
