Meet Your Team

	Sam DiVittorio *Broker/Owner* I am Sam DiVittorio, a Real Estate Broker in Tangipahoa Parish. I have decades of knowledge of this area having been a life-long resident. Through my profession I connect with people across the entire social and economic spectrum. I have helped recent high school graduates find their first apartment, young families buy their first home, retirees downsizing, business owners looking for commercial space, first time investors looking for their first rental property and large investors planning multi-million-dollar developments. I have also been actively involved in developments and investment ventures from beginning to end so I can provide guidance from personal experience to first time investors. It is my priority to represent every client with the professionalism and guidance from the beginning to the end. I also now serve as the Hammond City Councilman for District 4 which includes a mixture of established residential neighborhoods and commercial development. I graduated high school from St. Thomas Aquinas and earned a Bachelor of Science from Southeastern Louisiana University before being licensed by the State of Louisiana to sell real estate. After only three years of having my license, I was the top producer of my firm, an honor that I have maintained over the years. I then became a licensed real estate broker in only three years. I have received numerous awards for my production as a real estate agent, including awards for top residential sales and top producer. Most recently being awarded locally with the Diamond Award and internationally with the Bronze Award for my production of over $11 million in real estate sales for the 2020 calendar year. Currently, I am the Broker/Owner of Realty Executives Florida Parishes in Downtown Hammond, LA. Since the opening of the brokerage in 2019, we have continued to grow at a rapid pace due to our high level of service and expertise offered to every client. Our team approaches every situation with one goal, getting our client the best deal!

Take, for instance, real estate agent Dani Templet, who has been in the business for over 12 years. Her success has earned her to title, “REO Property Specialist” and rightly so because she has been a prominent REO listing agent in her market since the beginning of her career.
