Honest and professional

 The first thing I was looking for in a Realtor was for someone who could represent my interests, honesty and handled themselves professionally. Paul was certainly that person, his advise was sound throughout the entire process with answering my questions and addressing concerns. He communicated often with updates and showings which lead to positive results. I would not hesitate to recommend Paul to family or friends for any home or property purchase !!

Professional and patient

 We loved working with Paul ! He is incredibly professional and patient. It took us several months of looking (and a corona virus quarantine) to find the perfect house. Paul was always so helpful without any pressure. He really understood exactly what we were looking for and he did a great job helping us to find it. We couldn't be happier.

First time home buyers

 My wife and I were first time buyers. We knew very little about buying a house. A friend of ours referred us to Paul and it couldn't have worked out better. Paul was very patient and listened to what we wanted and needed. Paul went the extra mile for us and we love our home!

I was referred to Paul

 I was very fortunate to be referred to Paul. I was looking for a 2nd home and was not familiar with the Nevada City/Gold Country area. After looking at a dozen properties we were able to locate a home that was in my desired area, well within my budget, met all my needs for a vacation retreat. Even during the transaction when a few minor issues came to light, Paul jumped in and assessed the situation to ensure I was in the loop and satisfied. I've purchased 5 homes in 10 years, and this transaction was the most confident, simple and easy ones of my real estate experience. Thank you, Paul, for welcoming me home to Nevada City!
