“Randy came in my previous home staged it, did a 3D video, got a drone view of the property overhead, street views, and views of the outside of the house. This was done completely prior to getting the pics of all the individual rooms with detailed descriptions of each rooms, closets,flooring even the Granite in kitchen and both bathrooms. Once he got all the details for the paperwork and actually got the home on the internet within a few hours he got multiple offers. He gave me a call we discussed the offers. After talking it over he came up with my decision. Both offers were good but one was agreable that house closed with out any problems. Thank you Randy!”

There was a lot of ground to cover but I am thrilled with the results. I was Realtor in Florida for 8 years, so I know the importance of a good agent to get a good result. I was pleased with Paul's service through the entire process.”
