Sam Nier-McDermott

A born and raised New Yorker with over 20 years in real estate, Sam has earned a reputation as a dependable advisor who treats trust and long-term reputation as the most valuable currency in the business. He has closed deals in every borough except Staten Island, as well as in Westchester and Long Island, from high-end luxury residences to compelling value opportunities.

Sam’s signature property is one of the largest condominiums in New York City, Ruppert-Yorkville Towers. His deep expertise there has led to being interviewed by Homes.com as a Ruppert-Yorkville Towers specialist, as well as handling over 50 transactions there. He has also been featured twice in The New York Times: On the Market.

Meticulous and forward-thinking, Sam has navigated nearly every situation that can arise in a transaction. His goal always remains the same: to save his clients time, energy, and stress by anticipating issues before they surface and guiding them through each step with clarity and composure. Spend five minutes with Sam, and it becomes obvious why he stands apart.

As the founder of Settled New York, Sam is focused not only on his own clients but also on building a company where other agents can thrive. He is committed to instilling the approach, methods, and mindset that have led to his success, ensuring the entire team delivers the same elevated level of service, preparation, and care that his clients have come to expect.
