Samantha is Los Angeles native, retail focused commercial real estate advisor with ample experience in F&B and restaurants. She is known for architecting deals end-to-end—drafting leases, subleases, and license agreements and coordinating the due diligence that keeps openings on schedule. Across roles, Samantha’s advantage is translation: she speaks landlord, tenant, legal, and operator—aligning incentives and removing friction from complex, multi-party negotiations. She’s especially effective for F&B concepts entering new markets or re-optimizing portfolios, where operational realities matter as much as rent. Samantha’s work centers on thoughtful site selection, airtight documentation, and proactive communication that moves deals from “terms” to “keys.”  

Though Samantha's main experience has been representing tenants in leases, she loves underwriting and evaluating investment opportunities across retail and industrial sectors. With a sharp eye for risk analysis and financial modeling, she is experienced in assessing deal structures, forecasting cash flows, and determining asset value to support acquisitions, developments, and lending decisions.
