Welcome to my corner of the Triangle real estate world. I’m Samantha DiGiovanni — top producing Realtor, team leader of The Sam DiGiovanni Team at HomeTowne Realty, and 2024  Johnston County Realtor of the Year. I’ve been licensed in real estate since 2008 — originally in Rhode Island — and have called North Carolina home since 2011. Since earning my NC license in 2013, I’ve helped clients across the Triangle build wealth through real estate, from first-time  buyers stepping into their starter home in Clayton, to luxury sellers and investors navigating  high-stakes transactions. 

What sets me apart is the lens I bring to every deal. Before real estate, I spent over a decade in  banking and finance and earned my MBA from Case Western Reserve University. That means  when we sit down to price your home, structure an offer, or weigh whether a property is the right 

long-term investment, you’re getting a strategist — not just a salesperson. My business runs  almost entirely on referrals, and I treat every client like the next referral depends on it. Because  it does.

Strategic & Finance-Driven

With an MBA and 10+ years in banking and finance behind me, I bring a data-driven approach  to every transaction. From pricing strategy to negotiation to long-term wealth planning, you’ll  have a Realtor who can talk numbers as fluently as neighborhoods. 

Local Expertise You Can Trust

The Triangle has been home since 2011, and I’ve been serving NC clients as a licensed Realtor since 2013. Johnston County and Clayton are where I live, work, and raise my family. With over  $70M in sales in the last five years and 8+ years on JCAR’s Top Producer’s Council, I know the  streets, the schools, the builders, and the market trends that give my clients a real competitive  

edge.

Honest, Full-Spectrum Service

Whether you’re a first-time buyer, a luxury seller, an investor, or a family relocating across the  country, you’ll get the same thing: hard work, reliability, and complete honesty. I’m also a  Certified International Property Specialist (CIPS), Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR), and Military Relocation Professional (MRP) — so no matter your situation, you have an expert in  your corner. 

The Cross-Country Move

“Samantha was amazing to work with on our cross-country move from Kansas City to Clayton.  A friend recommended her and she did not disappoint. She knew the neighborhoods inside and  out, gave great advice on local companies, and helped us get settled into our new home.”

The Repeat Client

“Sam is nothing short of amazing! We have bought and sold with her on multiple occasions, and each time she has gone above and beyond with her service and knowledge of the area. She  even helped us buy a home in an area she didn’t normally do business in — and still found us  exactly what we needed.”

The Relocation Family

“We had the absolute pleasure of working with Samantha during our relocation to Clayton from  out of state. Sam made the process so much easier with thoughtful neighborhood suggestions,  creative ideas to make our new home our own, and unwavering support every step of the way. If you’re looking for an agent who goes above and beyond, we highly recommend Sam!”
