<strong>Samer</strong> <strong>Kuraishi</strong><br />
You could say that <strong>Samer</strong> <strong>Kuraishi</strong> was born<br />
to be a real estate mogul. His father has been<br />
a real estate broker for over 20 years, giving<br />
<strong>Samer</strong> a lot of exposure early on. Closing his<br />
first deal at only 18 years “young” he<br />
decided to follow in his father’s footsteps<br />
and has hit the ground running ever since.<br />
<strong>Samer</strong> believes people can control their own<br />
destiny. “If I don’t like something, I can use<br />
my hands and head to change it.” It is that<br />
go-getter attitude that has lead to his success<br />
in the real estate industry.<br />
With over 12 years of Real Estate experience,<br />
and holding Real Estate licenses in Maryland,<br />
D.C., and Virginia, <strong>Samer</strong> quickly became the<br />
forerunner for real estate success in the Greater<br />
Washington Metropolitan area. In 2004 he<br />
became the Senior VP of A-K Real Estate, Inc.<br />
He is involved in multiple facets of the Real<br />
Estate industry; dealing with short sales,<br />
foreclosures, rentals, property management,<br />
land development, renovations, commercial<br />
space, investors and contractors.<br />
<strong>Samer</strong> has many niches. One of these niches<br />
is in the distressed property arena, short-sale<br />
and foreclosure properties. He holds a<br />
Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE)<br />
designation and makes a conscious effort to<br />
help buyers understand the rigors of obtaining<br />
the most difficult properties in the market<br />
