Sam Kaplunov is a Principal Broker with @properties Christie's International Real Estate and the founder of SK Group in Birmingham, Michigan. Since 2012, Sam has represented more than 650 clients and closed over $250M in sales across Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills, Bloomfield Township, Franklin and the Woodward Corridor. He specializes in luxury homes and, more importantly, luxury service.
Sam's approach is simple: slow down, listen, and protect the client's interests at every step. He doesn't rush decisions or push for a quick sale. He takes the time to understand what a home means to the people living in it, and builds the strategy around that, whether it's a full public launch or a private, off-market sale with no sign in the yard.
That discretion is why so many of Sam's clients come to him through people they trust. He has represented C-suite executives, professional athletes and community leaders, along with first-time buyers and growing families, and his network often gives clients access to homes before they reach the market.
Sam leads SK Group, a full-service team of agents, client care, operations and marketing specialists who handle every part of a sale in house, from pricing strategy and listing films to transaction management and closing. Clients work with the same small team from start to finish, so they always know who to call. Together, the team has served more than 700 clients and closed over $350M in sales, with the vast majority of its business coming from referrals. SK Group's promise: clients become friends, and friends become family.
Sam is ranked among the top 1% of real estate agents nationally and in the Top 20 of more than 9,500 agents in Oakland County. He has been named an Hour Detroit Real Estate All-Star every year since 2015 and is a member of Christie's Masters Circle, a network of top-performing luxury agents worldwide. Originally from Chicago's North Shore, Sam has made Oakland County home. He and his wife Sarah are raising their three children here, and the family is part of the Cranbrook Kingswood and Oakland Hills Country Club communities. Sam is deeply involved with Oakland Family Services, and when he isn't with clients or family, you'll likely find him on the golf course.
