Samantha Yerkes

Samantha Yerkes is a Tampa Bay real estate agent, relocation specialist, and trusted advisor with The Davenport Group at Compass. She represents buyers and sellers throughout Greater Tampa Bay, with a focus on Tampa Bay relocation, luxury real estate, and strategic listing representation. Based in Westchase, Samantha serves clients across Tampa and the surrounding communities, helping them understand not only the real estate market, but the neighborhoods, lifestyle, and day-to-day considerations that make each part of Tampa Bay different.

Originally from Connecticut and New York, Samantha relocated to Tampa Bay more than a decade ago. After living throughout the region, she ultimately chose Westchase as home. That experience shaped the way she approaches real estate today. For clients moving to Tampa Bay, Samantha understands firsthand how overwhelming it can be to compare communities from afar and determine where a family will actually feel at home. For local homeowners preparing to sell or make their next move, she brings a strategic, highly organized approach to positioning, marketing, negotiation, and the transaction itself.

Samantha is part of The Davenport Group at Compass, a Tampa Bay real estate team with more than $175 million in Tampa Bay sales, 19+ years of experience, and a ranking among the top 1% of Tampa Bay agents. Before entering real estate, Samantha built her career in operations and executive leadership with organizations including The Estée Lauder Companies, IAC Inc., and Biolayne. A Florida State University graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, she combines that background in strategy, communication, and human behavior with local market knowledge to help clients make informed, confident real estate decisions throughout Greater Tampa Bay.
