The powerful success behind The Casey Samson Team is the combination of Casey’s years of experience perfecting pricing models, strategies and protocols, with the professionalism and technology of The CST’s rising stars. When Casey decided to grow his team in 2013, he recruited Colby, who was an up and coming rockstar at Long and Foster, to come over to Samson Properties and help build CST. Colby brought his extensive knowledge of homes and expertise with him and has been an essential part of the team’s growth. Casey also knew that his daughter Morgan, who had been in sales since college, would be a perfect addition with her style, training, and outstanding track record. She joined the team in 2017 and has been an invaluable asset ever since. Upon joining the team, Morgan began converting our listings from seller-comfortable “Traditional” style, to buyer-friendly “Transitional” style, with huge success. While “Traditional” looks dated, “Transitional” homes attract larger buyer pools, sell quicker, and generate higher priced contracts without contingencies. With Colby’s background and extensive knowledge of residential properties and Morgan’s sales training, professionalism, and eye for style, this dynamic duo complements each other perfectly to the benefit of their sellers and buyers. Their techniques consistently return sellers $7-$10 for every dollar invested, and Samson Properties has taught this approach to their 5800+ agents. They use the opposite approach and the same pricing tools for buyers, providing them with the home value and how to take advantage of seller and realtor mistakes. Colby and Morgan’s thoroughness and attention to detail constantly push the bar higher whether it’s representing the home online, engaging with buyers and other realtors or hosting open houses. The combination of their home prep procedures and unparalleled contract negotiation skills has made them a huge success, gaining them a constant flow of referrals from satisfied clients.
Morgan
Morgan Samson, Casey’s daughter, was born and raised in Vienna, Virginia, and is a testament to the adage, “the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.” From a young age, it was evident that Morgan inherited many of Casey’s qualities, including a strong work ethic, a vibrant social nature, and a deep-seated passion for their hometown. She grew up immersed in VYI (Vienna Youth Incorporated) sports, participating actively and even earning the prestigious VYI College Scholarship. *Fun fact* Her grandparents were among the four founding families of VYI. This early involvement in sports not only fostered her competitive spirit but also instilled in her a sense of commitment and ‘always put the team first’ mentality. Morgan attended James Madison High School where she was a cheerleader, lacrosse player and waitress at the Vienna Inn. After graduating in 2007, she decided to head down south to the University of Alabama “Roll Tide”. She was a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma, and just like her dad, a huge football fan. She finished up her college career at James Madison University, graduating with a degree in Communications. Her passion for real estate was kindled at a young age, influenced by her family’s significant contributions to the community. This enthusiasm for real estate has only grown over the years, which has helped her build lasting relationships with clients who trust her expertise.

Colby
Colby Smyth, also a lifelong resident of Vienna, has a deep affection for his hometown. During his childhood, he was very involved with VYI sports and engaged in various charitable efforts. He graduated from Marshall High School and went on to West Virginia University in Morgantown, where he pursued a degree in Advertising and Public Relations, complemented by a minor in Communications. At WVU, he was a dedicated member of the business fraternity Delta Sigma Pi and also played for the club golf team. Colby’s interest in Real Estate was sparked at a young age, influenced by his father who was a renowned architect in Northern Virginia. This early exposure provided Colby with knowledge and insights into the components of a home, which gave him an advantage when he first entered the industry directly after graduating from WVU. Colby’s career began in 2011 at Long & Foster – Tysons Corner and in 2013, he was recruited by Casey to join his team at Samson Properties. Over the years, Colby has invested in renovating homes for resale, combining his architectural insights with practical experience to create spaces that not only appealed to buyers but also maximized investment returns.

Reviews
“The thought of selling our home from 1000 miles away seemed impossible. But after meeting Casey, Morgan and Colby we knew we were in great hands. Their knowledge of the market and its fluctuations; strategic approach to pricing, staging and marketing; and, genuine commitment to client service not only met, but far exceeded our expectations. Under their guidance we prepared, listed and closed our home sale much faster than we ever imagined. I would recommend The Casey Samson Team to anyone considering the sale of their property.” Fairfax, Virginia Home Seller
“The Casey Samson team was great to work with! Morgan and Colby pretty much handled everything once we cleaned out the house. The contractors they work with did wonderful work in preparing the house for sale. The team was communicative and always willing to assist with any questions we had. I appreciate that everything went smoothly with the sale and would highly recommend the Casey Samson team if you need to sell or buy a home.” Vienna, Virginia Home Seller
“Professionalism personified. Colby Smyth did an exceptional job selling my property. He is at the top of his game. You will not go wrong doing business with Colby at The Casey Samson Team. He is great! truly professional, courteous, and genuinely a nice person. I would recommend him to anyone at any time. Thank you so much for your assistance Colby!!” Mclean, Virginia Home Seller
“I worked with the Casey Samson team, specifically Colby and Morgan, to sell my townhouse in Spring 2023. They provided expert advice, based on market analysis, that led to my home receiving multiple offers at and above asking price after just the first weekend of the house being on the market. Colby and Morgan then negotiated with multiple buyers agents to ensure we had the best and final offers of the potential buyers, ensuring that I would get the most for my home. They were able to negotiate an all cash, no contingencies offer for $60k above asking! Way more than I expected. Colby and Morgan were then able to coordinate with the buyers a quick closing of the sale and I had the money in my bank account a week later. I was so impressed by the skill and professionalism of the Casey Samson team, and Colby and Morgan especially. Their knowledge of the Northern VA real estate market is immense and backed by actual data analysis, years of experience and their excellent interpersonal skills make them a power house realtor team! I definitely plan to use Colby and Morgan again in the future when I buy my next home.” Annandale, Virginia Home Seller
“Colby and Morgan with the Casey Samson Team have been the ‘A’ team I go to for all my real estate needs. They have represented me multiple times as both a buyer and a seller and have knocked it out of the park each time regardless of market conditions. I consult with them before any property I buy as well. They have a formula for success that’s the best in the business and it’s replicable making each transaction easy for their client. They are the best in the business (numbers don’t lie), know the ins and outs which gives you a competitive advantage, and are super easy to work with. Highly recommend!” Home Buyer and Seller
“Colby and Morgan are the best realtors I’ve worked with. We worked with them to sell our home and buy a new one; they were experts on both sides. The bottom line is that my wife and I had the winning offer on our dream home solely because of Morgan, Colby, and their fantastic team. In a hyper-competitive market with other bidders, Morgan and Colby are literally the reason we got the house – under the list price. Without their experience, network, market knowledge, and people skills to make connections and correctly assess the situation, it wouldn’t have happened. It’s that simple. I will forever be grateful to them for that! We felt very comfortable trusting them with the sale of our home. The marketing materials were professional, and the photos were top-notch. Our house never looked better. Backed by market trends, they make data-driven decisions to correctly price homes and generate interest. We were delighted with the offers that we received- all in the first weekend, over the list price. They’re also fun to work with! They have an inspiring ability to comprehend and connect, work efficiently, and are very responsive. Colby and Morgan’s knowledge of the market, patience with our many questions, and level-headedness helped us tremendously throughout the buying and selling process. Real estate is stressful – don’t let it be unnecessarily so! Colby and Morgan will take great care of you.” Arlington, Virginia Home Seller and Buyer
“My wife, Christina, and I recently had the pleasure of purchasing our first home in Vienna, VA, and we owe a huge debt of gratitude to Colby Smyth and Morgan Samson from the Casey Samson team. From the outset, they displayed an impressive depth of knowledge and experience. Working with them was a breeze; they were incredibly responsive and attentive to our needs and concerns. Their guidance was invaluable in helping us secure our dream home at the best possible price. We wholeheartedly recommend Colby, Morgan, and the entire Casey Samson team to anyone looking for a seamless home-buying experience. Thank you for making our dream come true!” Vienna, Virginia Home Buyer
