The Solovey Group

Sam and Orysia each launched their individual real estate careers in the early 2000s at the same brokerage firm in Chevy Chase. We bonded over shared personal and professional values and a deep commitment to always put our clients’ interests above our own. Sam and Orysia transitioned to Compass around the same time in 2017. Our respective businesses continued to flourish, and it seemed natural to join forces to provide our best practices and complimentary styles of service. Thirty years of combined real estate expertise, we are proud to share our deep industry knowledge with a diverse set of clients. While we continue to work independently with our respective base of clients, we have a collaborative approach when it comes to utilizing the cutting-edge marketing and data driven technology that serves all of our buyers and sellers equally well. Sam and Orysia support one another, so that we can ultimately better support a growing network of clients.

In 2022, The Solovey group welcomed Jon Solovey who is not only a successful Realtor, but also Sam's older brother. Jon had an amazingly productive 2021 at another local brokerage and decided it was time bring his success and momentum to our team in order to support our growing network of buyers and sellers. The Sam Solovey Group is proud to have achieved more than $40M in sales in 2021 and an equally impressive 2022 and 2023 as well.

In 2023, the group welcomed Mary Zitello who has enjoyed a lengthy and prosperous real estate career in the DMV. In fact, she too worked with Sam and Orysia at their prior brokerage in Chevy Chase, so we have completed the "family reunion."

Sam has been married 20 years to his wife Lori, and they have 3 boys aged 14, 12 and 9 as well as their 2 year old Aussiedoodle named Charlotte.  In Sam's free time, he loves to run, bike, do anything and everything with his family and has recently discovered pickleball.

"Sam was tremendous. We are first-time homebuyers and had a lot to learn about pretty much everything relating to home buying and ownership. There was no question or issue too small for Sam's full attention, and we knew right from our first interaction that he was someone who cares deeply about the people he's helping, not just making a sale. Our search lasted roughly three months and Sam's guidance was crucial during every phase of the search. Whether it was in formulating our priorities, digging deeper on property details, or final negotiations, Sam was always willing and able to provide all the information needed for us to make decisions. He would regularly say that these decisions were ours, but his emails were usually so thorough that we'd have been crazy not to follow his advice. This attention to detail did not wane even during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, although we would not have blamed Sam if it did! Ultimately, we are happy in our new home but we did have a tinge of regret after purchase knowing that we'd no longer get to work with Sam." - Bobby H

"I enjoyed and appreciated working with Sam. Sam is smart, direct and honest. He thinks creatively about how to achieve the outcome one is looking for, and he has excellent resources to call upon. I also liked that Sam is very responsive to all forms of communication. The sale of our house was drama free, and Sam guided us smoothly through the process. Everything and more than we expected or hoped for!" - Susan B
