Samantha Mushitz-Hancock is a top-producing Minnesota real estate broker, corporate marketing veteran, and the founder of The Hancock Group, an elite real estate firm established in 2011. While she is deeply proud to rank in the Top 1% of Minnesota real estate agents and hold the global RE/MAX Circle of Legends award, Samantha believes that real estate is ultimately about people, relationships, and home. She pairs her high-level credentials with a warm, friendly consumer experience that treats clients like family. Under her leadership, The Hancock Group is recognized as an elite RE/MAX Pinnacle Club Team—ranking among the top 10 RE/MAX teams in Minnesota and the top 30 nationwide—yet her focus remains firmly on delivering a supportive, personal journey for every buyer and seller.
What sets Samantha apart is how she blends this heartfelt, relationship-oriented philosophy with a calculated, corporate-backed framework. Holding a B.S.B. in Business Marketing from the University of Minnesota’s Carlson School of Management, she transitioned from corporate retail brand management to real estate to engineer a proprietary listing strategy. This collaborative approach focuses on clear communication and deep trust, while consistently helping home sellers optimize exposure and maximize equity. As a result, Samantha’s listings historically command top dollar, frequently yielding up to 18% more than neighborhood comparables with an average 104% list-to-sale ratio.
Samantha believes in holding her clients' hands through major life transitions and structuring custom, stress-free timelines. She provides dedicated niche mastery in several key areas:
• Luxury & Waterfront Estates: High-touch, strategic positioning for premier lakeshore properties in Chanhassen, Victoria, and the greater Twin Cities.
• Acreage & Hobby Farms: Specialized logistical, land-use, and zoning mastery for equestrian properties, rooted in personal experience.
• Family-Centric Relocations: Empathetic, warm, and highly patient guidance for families moving at their own pace.
As a dedicated Carver County community member, Samantha brings her authentic love for local living into her work. She personally lives on a hobby farm in Waconia Township with her husband, five children, horses, and chickens. When she isn't warmly guiding her clients or mentoring her elite team of agents, you can find her actively volunteering at her children's schools, attending Oakwood Church, and supporting local community outreach initiatives.
