Samuel Vaden, the Founder & Owner of Sense of Place Properties & Hospitality, embarked on his career as a luxury real estate broker fourteen years ago, driven by a vision to uncover properties and develop client relationships that resonate on a deeper emotional level. His journey has been about much more than mere transactions; it's been a quest to find spaces and connections that evoke profound experiences and emotions. Over the past 14 years, Samuel has merged his love for global luxury real estate, design, and everything hospitality into a comprehensive advisory service for his clientele. His keen eye for exceptional properties, mindful design, and matching clients with meaningful, personalized lifestyles has made him a trusted advisor in luxury markets across Southern Florida, Southern California, Mexico, and globally. His commitment to global collaboration has resulted in $431 million of current luxury listings being co-marketed globally (in collaboration with ADVSR). The creation of Sense of Place Properties & Hospitality is the culmination of Samuel's diverse yet interconnected passions. It represents more than a business; it's the embodiment of his life's work, integrating luxury real estate with a mindfulness-led approach to living. Samuel's holistic approach extends beyond professional achievements, incorporating mindfulness practices into daily routines, thereby enhancing transactions with clarity and calm. His commitment to transcending the financial aspects of his business underscores a deeper understanding of success and happiness. Outside of his professional endeavors, Samuel supports various philanthropic causes, reflecting his commitment to mental health, the arts, veteran causes, and underrepresented communities.
