"It was a pleasure to work with Sam and his team.  They are very knowledgeable and truly made the entire process seamless.  I look forward to conducting business again with them in the future."   

~ FOUAD QREITEM, President & CEO  Capital Restaurant Group

"The service and personal attention I received from Sam Saa was exceptional. He is truly a high-caliber professional and his knowledge of the local market and negotiating skills were key in ensuring that I received the best offer for my new business. This entire experience can be so overwhelming and he walked me through every step of the way in buying my first business, believing in my  vision and all the business details in between. Best part about him is his honesty and integrity. It was my pleasure working with Sam."
 

~ MOHAMMED SHOEB (MOH)

"No one knows the DC/NoVA/Maryland area like Sam Saa - he has been in the restaurant scene for decades and has a personal relationship with all the serious players. Not only does he know the nuances of each neighborhood, he can tell which concept will work best in which location. When I approached Sam to find me a site for American Tandoor, he managed to get me fantastic location in one of the most sought after developments.  Furthermore, his own experience with owning several restaurants over the years, adds a wealth of knowledge that you would not get from the average broker. He has been extremely helpful and involved in my project well past the lease stage and always goes above and beyond what is required or expected of him. I rely on his advice for all major decisions and have no hesitation recommending Sam to anyone looking for a restaurant in Washington area."

CEO Indo-Pacific Avaition
 

"When I first set out on my own I was new to the buying and selling of restaurants, and was very lucky to end up meeting Sam Saa .   Since Sam was representing the seller at the time, I was blown away by his honesty and fairness with both parties.  There are a lot of mistakes you can make in this process and thankfully I have had Sam to help guide me.  When you add his expertise, patience and commitment to doing things right, I could not imagine using anyone else.  We now have multiple locations and I have used Sam successfully for both buying, selling and advisement.  I greatly appreciate his integrity, knowledge and general ability to get things done!"

~ LARRY PONZI

 

"I've worked with Sam over the past 5 years and we've done about a handful of deals together. Sam is reliable, does what he says he's going to do and communicates well. He's incredibly experienced with the restaurant business and landlords and he gets deals done. He's been a pleasure to work with, and I'd recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a restaurant."

 

~ MICHAEL BLANK

"I had the pleasure to work with Sam at more than one occasion and he is the first person on my list to call when I think about business.

Sam was helpful and Knowledgeable in all aspects of the transaction.  

He made sure that everything was smooth and went out of his way to make sure that we close the deal."

 

~ AMMAR ATTAR

"I have used Metropolitan to sell 5 of my restaurants over the last 10 years. They have always satisfied my needs as a seller. They are attentive, courteous, professional, and have delivered a qualified buyer each time. I would recommend them to anyone interested in selling or buying their business."

~ PANKAJ SHARMA

"It is with GREAT pleasure and GRATITUDE that we share comments on our experience with Sam Saa, in the listing of our business.  Sam was referred to us by our landlord after having our business listed with a local broker for 6 months with no success, by then we were so frustrated and at the end of our rope and so ready to sell.  He stepped in and promised us that he would make it work, he was so patient, no matter how many calls, emails or txts, he got from us, he did not make us feel like we were a pain, if he did, he certainly did not show it. He was always there and notified us either way on what was going on, even offered to deliver documents himself to speed up the process. Within the 2nd month of his contract, it was sold, just like he said.

We cannot thank you enough for your professionalism, expertise, and hard work in helping us with the sale of our business. We HIGHLY recommend Sam Saa!"

 

~ ART & DORIS McREA

“I have known Sam for few years now and worked with him on various engagements in the real estate and restaurant space. His ability to source off market deals as well as engaging both buyers and sellers in a very well structured negotiation process makes a lot of business sense and get deals done. I would highly recommend  Sam to anyone who is in the market for real estate acquisitions as well as buying existing businesses specially in the restaurant industry.”
