... More about Paul
Paul believes strongly in leaving a positive impact on his community. He co-founded the Aptos Sports Foundation in 1979 by bringing together business leaders throughout the community to raise money for students in sports. The Foundation has raised over $5 million dollars for local youth athletic facilities and programs, breaking down financial barriers and giving all students at Aptos High School the opportunity to take part in sports. This positive impact has extended into other local schools who have access to the facilities, leading to a higher rate of participation in sports programs throughout the area. The Foundation has also partnered with the Santa Cruz County Community Foundation to establish an endowment fund for student sports. This fund will provide athletic opportunities to local youth for generations to come.

“Paul was the perfect agent to see our in-the-sand home in Aptos. He built a great marketing program, which he shared in advance with us and took our input. He showed a strong understanding of the luxury market, and introduced qualified buyers to us within a week of the listing. He set up and attend all inspections, advised us on the best next steps to help us accomplish our goals. He qualified all buyers prior to showing the house. Paul was instrumental in working with the title company, the buyers and us in ensuring a smooth close. After the close, Paul stayed in close tough to follow up on several post-close details.
We found working with Paul a pleasure. He was great throughout, a very good listener and helped us achieve all of our goals.
I highly recommend Paul to anyone considering selling their home.”.

"Paul brokered the successful sale of our family beach house, built by our parents in 1963. He was sensitive to the time we took to make the decision to sale, never rushed us, was always available for questions, and very knowledgeable about the local market and the dynamics of buying and selling residential property. Once we made the decision to sell, and given all family members lived out of town, Paul was extremely helpful in personally coordinating and overseeing inspections and work that needed to be done prior to putting the house on the market. He tirelessly guided us through what evolved into a changing market, laying out options for us to consider at every turn, but never pushing us in any one direction. We came to value the collaborative nature of our relationship and considered Paul to be an integral part of our decision-making process with our best interests at heart."
