Since beginning his real estate career in 2005, he has had a distinguished track record of success in the Tampa Bay and Sarasota luxury real estate markets.

The CLHMS designation is awarded to institute members with documented sales performance in the top 10 percent of their market and assures affluent buyers and sellers that the associates who have earned it have the competence and confidence they require. This has further been supported by Paul's continuing to pioneer headline single-family home sales and record-setting condominium pricing across multiple buildings.≠
