TESTIMONIALS

WHAT MY HAPPY CLIENTS SAY...

Paul is awesome, we can't thank him enough for all the hard work, dedication and time he spent in selling our home (for over asking) and finding our dream home. He made it easy in a very difficult market, we very much appreciate it. We most definitely would suggest him to anyone we know who is selling or wanting to purchase a home, we were lucky to have him as a Realtor."

Bought and sold a Single Family home in Vacaville, CA

I met Paul wandering randomly through an open house he was hosting. He was down to earth but with a professional attitude. Not needy, not pushy, not pretentious, just down right nice. I did not have a real estate agent yet because I was terrified of hooking up with the wrong person. Paul offered time to have me take a look at some houses in the area with a no obligation attitude but after hanging out on the first day, I knew I had hooked up with great real estate agent. Paul is a man of his word, genuinely listens, and is an expert in his field. He made my house buying experience much more smoothly than I had anticipated.

Bought a Single Family home in Benicia, CA.

Paul Pontikoff is the consummate professional. He recently handled a home sale for me in the complex and competitive San Francisco real estate market. Paul provided guidance and management of every step from ordering inspections to recommending and supervising contractors. Together with his partner, Randie Boardman, a potentially overwhelming task appeared effortless. In addition, great communication skills meant I was informed every step of the way. Paul Pontikoff is the person I would recommend to anyone seeking superior assistance in selling a home
