A Realtor since 2009, Samantha (Sam) DeBianchi LaViola is a globally recognized real estate entrepreneur and brand builder with more than $500 million in closed sales. She founded DeBianchi Real Estate in 2012 and is widely regarded for her hospitality-driven approach—blending sharp market intelligence, elite negotiation skills, and an unwavering commitment to delivering highly personalized, best-in-class service to a national and international clientele.
Sam’s instinct for sales, branding, and leadership began early. Her first “business” launched in elementary school, where she famously sold toys—and occasionally her parents’ possessions—to classmates. That early hustle evolved into a powerhouse career, including becoming the first female cast member on Bravo’s Million Dollar Listing franchise (Million Dollar Listing Miami). By age 25, Sam had already created a college-level course and was invited to serve as an adjunct professor, further cementing her reputation as both a practitioner and educator in business and real estate.
Today, her luxury real estate expertise and market insight make her a sought-after voice across major media, with regular appearances on CNBC, Fox News, Fox Business, Bloomberg, and CNBC World, and features in Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, Yahoo Finance, Money, and The Huffington Post. Her global reach includes speaking to sold-out audiences of 4,500+ at conferences from New York City to Australia.
Beyond real estate transactions, Sam is a real estate investor, entrepreneur, influencer, and thought leader with a six-figure social media following, where she shares insights on business, branding, entrepreneurship, and lifestyle — all from the perspective of a wife and mom of two who knows firsthand that real success means building a life, not just a career.
