Sam Coleman

Coleman once drove for Uber and, within about six years, became a real estate agent selling multi-million-dollar luxury homes; it took him about five years to go from a new agent to handling multi-million-dollar home sales.⁠[1][2]

In April 2025, the real estate industry publication HousingWire named Samuel Coleman a 2025 Rising Star. The profile listed him as 37 years old and a Luxury Home Advisor at IS Luxury with nearly a decade in real estate, focusing on luxury residential sales for both buyers and sellers, with an average home sale price of $3.4 million; it described him as the top-producing agent in the brokerage and noted that he mentors colleagues and promotes team collaboration.⁠[3]

His advice in the profile was: “Business isn’t a war to be waged — it’s a puzzle to be solved.”⁠[3]

IS Luxury is a Las Vegas–based luxury brokerage founded by Ivan Sher in 2018; in April 2025 it opened its first office outside Nevada, in Newport Beach, California.⁠[4]

On June 15, 2026, Hard Knocks Business published the long video “Day in the Life of a Realtor Selling $22M Mansions!” following him through a workday. The two listings shown were a roughly 8,800-square-foot home priced at $4.5 million in the MacDonald Highlands community of Henderson and a 3-acre, roughly 14,000-square-foot property priced at $21.9 million.⁠[6][6][6][6][6]

In the video he said his first sale was a $205,000 town home in the southwest of the valley. He said he is from Baltimore and that, while driving for Uber, he took a passenger to The Ridges community who turned out to develop commercial buildings, which led him to seek out people and information in real estate.⁠[6][6][6]

He said that beyond brokerage his team works on content, brand partnerships and vendor relationships, represents developers, develops and flips homes, and coaches agents; he described building a content team as the launchpad for the business’s growth in the luxury segment. He also said he took up golf four years earlier and had joined a country club.⁠[6][6][6]

He advised new agents to court clients the way they would court a partner, listening more than talking so that clients feel seen and understood (video at 04:20).⁠[6]

He said agents profit from clients putting hard-earned money into an asset, so they only deserve a commission if they provide value, and the relationship matters more than the transaction (video at 04:46).⁠[6]

He said newcomers lack implementation rather than information, and that without talking to people there are no clients (video at 05:11).⁠[6]

He said the common trait he sees among successful people is decisive action, preferring a wrong decision to none rather than getting stuck in analysis paralysis (video at 14:48).⁠[6]

Coleman founded the online course platform The Lux Academy, which says it shares his experience to help entrepreneurs build a luxury lifestyle and offers the course “Intro to Luxury Real Estate” under the name Samuel Coleman for $497; the platform describes him as a “top 10” luxury agent in the Las Vegas Valley.⁠[2][1]
