About us
Built on relationships, not transactions.
Burgess Samuels is an off-market investment agency with a simple conviction — serious investors deserve access to opportunities that never reach the open market.
Why we exist
Investment is served by some of the biggest names in property. They are capable firms. But decades of scale have made them large, process-driven, and, for all their competence, forgettable. Ask an investor who worked with one of them how it felt, and the answer is rarely warm. It was handled. It was fine.
We started Burgess Samuels because "handled" and "fine" is an opportunity, not a standard. The investors we work with are not ordinary clients, and they shouldn't be treated like them. We are small on purpose. Small enough to give every client a founder, to move at the speed of a phone call, and to remember that investment is personal.
What we stand for
Five things guide every decision we make.
People before transactions
Relationships are the business. We invest in people before there's anything in it for us.
The experience is the product
How it feels to work with us is what we actually sell, and we design every moment of it.
Both sides of the deal
We look after tenants as carefully as landlords. At this level, they're often the same network.
Show, don't sell
We market property as work people genuinely want to watch, and let it speak for itself.
Ambitious, not arrogant
We intend to compete with the biggest names in London. Quietly, and by being better to deal with.
The people behind it
Burgess Samuels was founded by two directors who believed investors needed a different kind of agency.
Sam Smart
Co-Founder & Director
Sam co-founded Burgess Samuels on a simple belief: clients deserve to deal with the people who actually run the business. He works personally with every client rather than passing them on. He would rather be judged on how it feels to work with the firm than on how big it looks.
Jack Burgess
Co-Founder & Director
Jack co-founded Burgess Samuels for the same reason: that a small, attentive firm could serve investors better than a large, process-driven one. He looks after client relationships and makes sure every conversation is had by someone close to the deal. He isn't interested in sounding impressive, only in being genuinely useful.
