Washington, D.C.-based mega team, ONE Street Company is merging with Virginia-based brokerage Samson Properties, according to an announcement on Thursday.
ONE Street was founded by Samer Kuraishi and it serves clients in Washington, D.C.,
Maryland, and Virginia. In the merger, ONE Street is adding 48 agents and two new offices to Samson’s footprint. Samson will now have 34 offices, including a second downtown D.C. location.
“I wanted to find an opportunity to gain more time to give back to my agents and give them more of a tech stack on top of our current offerings,” Kuraishi said in a statement. “Samson’s infrastructure, print center, footprint and supportive atmosphere are going to help take our team to new levels. The last 3 years have been a great ride and being able to be more nimble, adapt to the market, and be more efficient, is going to be a major key to our success.”

They are an innovative, forward-thinking team that has created cutting edge technology. ONE Street is highly successful in the DMV and I am eager to see the energy they bring to Samson Properties.”
