Travis Sams – Your Local Guide to Garrett County Real Estate
With deep roots in Garrett County dating back to 1988, I bring a lifetime of local knowledge and a genuine passion for the area to every real estate journey. A proud graduate of Southern High School’s Class of ’96, I went on to serve in the U.S. Army, stationed at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. After my service, I returned home and began working in the trades—ironwork, construction, and eventually building homes around Deep Creek Lake. It was there that I fell in love with the region’s unique architecture and the way homes blend seamlessly into the natural landscape.
Life took me on a professional journey through South Carolina, New Jersey, New York, and Delaware, working in distribution and operations. But Garrett County always called me back. After nearly 20 years away, I made the move back to Oakland—where my heart has always been.
I’ve been married to my amazing wife for over 20 years, and we’re proud parents to three wonderful children and one grandchild. I understand the importance of finding the right home—not just as a place to live, but as a foundation for family, memories, and dreams.
Whether you're looking for a forever home, a vacation retreat, or an investment property, I’d be honored to help you find your perfect fit here in Garrett County.
