Helping You Buy, Sell, and Explore Multi-Generational Living in Prince George’s County, Maryland

Sell Your Home See Home Value

I’m Samantha Johnson, known as The Melanin Agent, a real estate agent with Keller Williams Preferred Properties. I help buyers and sellers throughout DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia, with a strong focus on Prince George’s County.

Born and raised in Prince George’s County, I bring a personal connection to the communities I serve. Since beginning my real estate career in 2018, I’ve focused on helping clients understand their options, prepare for their next move, and make decisions that fit their finances and goals.

My work includes helping families explore multi-generational living. Whether you’re combining households, creating room for aging parents, or looking for more privacy under one roof, I help you evaluate homes with your whole household in mind. I also share education about local accessory dwelling unit, or ADU, rules and the questions to ask before pursuing a property’s potential.

As a Military Relocation Professional and Luxury Specialist, I work with first time buyers, experienced homeowners, military families, and clients relocating to the DMV. Buyers begin with a lender introduction, followed by a consultation and then showings. Sellers receive guidance on pricing, preparation, marketing, and planning their next move.

My approach is rooted in transparency, integrity, and education. I’m passionate about helping people build lasting wealth through homeownership, especially within the Black community.

You deserve clear answers, thoughtful guidance, and a plan that works for your life.

No pressure, just expertise.

Samantha always goes above and beyond her resilience is what sets her aside from other agents! Though the process was long due to my personal situation, Samantha remained persistent and always had patience and continue to provide updates. Ensuring we knew our options. The Title Company was also amazing. It was a smooth process. Her TC, Karla was responsive and ensured we stayed up-to-date with the entire process. And her Assistant, Melinda was great! She was also very responsive. The entire team was amazing!! What could have been a difficult situation appeared to be seamless for this team.

Samantha made our homebuying experience seamless and stress-free from start to finish. She created a strong strategy that helped make our offer stand out and ultimately get accepted in a competitive market. She also did an amazing job negotiating with the selling agent to address the issues found during inspection, which gave us peace of mind throughout the process. Samantha was knowledgeable, responsive, and truly advocated for us every step of the way. We highly recommend her!

Our entire homebuying experience was truly top tier from beginning to end. Samantha and her team had incredible systems, communication, and structure in place that made the entire process feel smooth and well organized.

Every step was handled professionally and proactively, which helped eliminate potential issues and kept everything moving efficiently. We always felt informed, supported, and confident throughout the process. We couldn’t have asked for a better team to guide us through such an important milestone.

Samantha went above and beyond to help me find the home of my dreams! She took the time to answer all the questions I had as a first-time home buyer and prioritized my needs/preferences. She put in the effort to learn about my goals, family, and must-haves/dealbreakers. She navigated the intricacies of the VA loan and paid meticulous attention to every detail. She is an excellent communicator and made sure I felt taken care of along the whole journey to buying my first home. Her calm and sweet demeanor combined with her go-getter style and extensive expertise made her the absolute best agent I could hope for. I’d recommend anyone looking to buy a home to contact her ASAP!

Her Transaction Coordinator-Karla was very helpful and communicative! Provided all the information I needed and more. I especially appreciated the pre-closing checklist she shared to help me prepare for the big day.

Her entire Team was Fantastic! If I could rate this team 100/10 I would. Everyone I interacted with was extremely helpful, genuine, and knowledgeable. This is a team of incredibly talented, driven, and client-focused professionals and I’m so grateful to have worked with them.

Our experience with Samantha Johnson has been very positive so far. She is professional, honest, and consistently available whenever we need her. Her responsiveness, attention to detail, and commitment to keeping us informed have made this process much easier. We truly feel supported every step of the way. Our experience with Samson Doyle so far has been great. He is professional, responsive, and takes the time to clearly explain each step of the process. His communication and attention to detail have made everything feel smooth and stress-free. Samantha Johnson and Samson Doyle make an incredible team. Samantha is knowledgeable, professional, and always on top of every detail, while Samson is responsive, clear, and thorough throughout the lending process. Their communication and teamwork made everything feel smooth and stress-free. We’re very happy with our experience and highly recommend them both.

Samantha came as a referral from a longtime friend. This friend was aware that we had a terrible experience in selling our home 3 years ago and really needed someone who would be in our corner while trying to purchase our second home. Samantha went above and beyond to ensure that we were able to purchase the perfect home for our family. Our lender was less that communicative with all parties involved, yet Samantha didn't let that deter her efforts to secure the home. Additionally, Samantha is so personable. It was very kind that she included and engaged our children while we were looking at homes. It allowed them to feel as if they were a part of the process as well. I would use her again, and will recommend her to anyone that I know looking to buy in this area.

My wife Jeretha and I are super excited to shout out Samantha Johnson for helping us snag our new pad in Bryans Road, MD! We went the VA loan assumption route, and let me tell you, it was like navigating a labyrinth. But Samantha, with her smarts and cool vibe, made it all seem like a breeze.

From the get-go, Samantha was all about keeping it real and making sure we knew the score at every turn. She broke down the real estate jargon into plain English, guiding us through each twist and turn with her know-how and chill attitude. She had our backs, answering our endless questions and clearing up any confusion we had, all while maintaining her patience and smile.

Every step of the way, Samantha was on point, spotting any potential hiccups and sorting them out quick. And talk about being reachable! Day or night, she was there to answer our calls and emails, making us feel supported and valued.

And the people she put us in touch with, like mortgage folks and inspectors, were top-notch. It was clear they met Samantha’s high standards, and we felt even more sure we were making the right moves.

In a nutshell, Samantha Johnson is the go-to gal for home buying. She turned what could have been a stress-fest into a fun and enlightening ride. We are loving our new place, and a big part of that joy is thanks to Samantha. If you’re on the home hunt, especially if you’re going the VA loan assumption way, give Samantha a call. She’s got the brains, the heart, and the commitment to make your home-buying journey smooth and enjoyable.

Samantha and her assistant, Charnita are truly the best! They are positive, responsive, and patient. This is my first time purchasing a home and the thought of buying a home is usually daunting and scary, but they have made this process a smooth one. I can’t thank Samantha and Charnita enough for their efforts, hard work, and patience. I would also like to point out Samantha’s savvy-ness with getting the ball rolling on things! I would also like to point out Charnita’s positive attitude when I had doubt about finding the home that fits me. They are by far the best real estate team ever!

Samantha and her team at Synergy Property Group are top-notch professionals. I am an out-of-town seller and NOT once did I have to come back into town. Samantha managed my property from start to finish to get it on the market. Once on the market, she was very diligent in ensuring we accepted the correct offer. Any bump that may have appeared, she quickly found and communicated a solution to me! We are beyond happy about the sale of our property in Maryland and would work with or refer anyone to her and her team!

When I say we could not be happier with Samantha, I really mean that. We worked with Samantha when we sold another home. That process went so quickly, we weren’t really set on what or where we wanted to settle next. So we found ourselves in a transition year. Six months in, Samantha was reaching out to us again to get started on our next home. She was so responsive and talked us through all the processes. She also talked us off the ledge when necessary. Her professionalism and expertise were unmatched. We have gained not only a realtor for life , but a friend as well. Highly recommended!
