What Our ClientsAre Saying Angelina G.
"Paul has extensive knowledge of San Francisco real estate and it was a pleasure working with him. He knew exactly how to handle a multiple offer situation in a competitive market and are the reason we got our dream home on the first try. I can?t recommend them enough!".
Patrick R.
?Over the years we have bought and sold a number of properties and I can say without equivocation that we have never had the pleasure of working with an agent more professional than Paul!?
Susan J.
?Paul was amazing. He is incredibly responsive and attentive. His advice was spot on at all times- in terms of negotiation tactics, pricing etc. It was a fast, clean, perfect close for above comps. He also helped us purchase our new home at a great price in a very competitive market. I have recommended him to ALL of our family and friends. My husband is a retired real estate attorney and thinks he is the best broker with whom he has ever dealt.?"
Aldo A.
My wife and I searched long and hard for a home in San Francisco and the surrounding areas. We encountered many agents in our search but never quite felt comfortable going with one until we met Paul Warrin at an open house. He was open and honest and went out of his way to highlight all the home had to offer. We didn't like the house that day, but we did like Paul. After a brief meeting at his office, Paul laid out the groundwork for a smarter search and worked tirelessly for months showing us unique properties, and interesting alternatives and providing great advice throughout the process. Paul was extremely helpful in the final negotiation and his advice proved invaluable in closing the transaction. We highly recommend Paul and are certain you'll enjoy not only his stellar work but his warm and friendly approach.?
Grant H.
"Paul is a fantastic agent. He has a comprehensive knowledge of the San Francisco market, is very responsive, and took a lot of time to understand our family's needs. In a market with a very low supply, Paul went the extra mile and found Pacific Heights properties that had previously been withdrawn from the market that met our requirements. We ended up buying one of those properties and could not be happier ."
Patrick R.
" Over the years we have bought and sold a number of properties and I can say without equivocation that we have never had the pleasure of working with an agent more professional than Paul Warrin."
