My wife and I were first-time home buyers and Paul made the process simple and kept excellent communication with us each step of the way. We weren't hesitant to ask questions when we didn't understand something and he went above and beyond our expectations of a real-estate agent. It felt like an actual friend was helping us secure our first home. I would definitely recommend Paul to my family and friends! read more

Paul Caparas - Real Estate Agents Near Me - San Diego, California

Paul was an incredible buyer's agent for our first home purchase. He was patient, kind, funny and truly eased the stress of the process. Buying a home can feel overwhelming, but his calm guidance and genuine care made all the difference. Paul is one of the most humble and sincere people we've ever met -- highly recommend! We even miss our daily chats with him! Thank you again for everything! read more

8 years ago, Paul helped us buy our first home in Mira Mesa. Back then, it was a house that had good bones and we knew that we had to put some work into it. Throughout the years, we renovated the kitchen, took away the popcorn ceiling, installed hardwood floors, remodeled the bathrooms, installed air conditioning, updated the yards, and put in double-pane windows. Now that we are moving, we've asked Paul Caparas to help us sell our house. Paul gave us great advice on the timing of when to sell the house and the list price. He has many years of experience and he knows the San Diego housing market very well. With his recommendation, we were able to quickly get our home ready to list on the market and we only had to spend one weekend for Open House. Many potential buyers came to the Open House and we had more than twenty offers at the end of the weekend! While we were in escrow, Paul was always easy to reach through phone calls or text messages whenever we had any questions. Paul communicated well with the buyer's agent which allowed for a smooth escrow process. Whether on the buying side or the selling side of real estate, Paul Caparas has a ton of experience and we highly recommend him! read more

Thank you so much Paul! After being introduced to you by a referral who gave you a glowing review even after a decade of you working with them I knew I wanted you to work with me and my daughter as well. From the beginning of the process you were so knowledgeable and professional. I truly appreciate your expertise in the field as well as personal approach to your craft. With this being my first home buying experience I had no idea what I was up against or what to expect but your experience allowed me to have ease with choosing the right home. I appreciate your patience and passion when dealing with escrow and having my best interest when it came to advocacy for me as your client. Thank you for your time and work to be able to close so that my daughter and I will have a beautiful home to call our own. I highly recommend Paul and Pitch to help you get into the home you and your family deserve. read more

Paul had been referred to me by a close friend who had used his services and was very pleased. He was terrific. After speaking with him, he immediately came to see my home I wanted to sell. He was informative and not pushy at all. After agreeing to use his services, he was very patient in waiting to hear from me as to when I was ready to list my property. Within a couple days he had his cleaners and photographer out and had it listed. His photographer took excellent pictures. My home sold within 3 weeks of being listed. Paul was readily available whenever I needed to speak with him. He answered all my questions in a timely manner even if he needed to find the answers to my questions. I could not have asked for a better experience. I would no doubt use Paul's services again and would highly recommend him to family and friends. read more

I recently had the wonderful opportunity to work with Paul at Pitch R/E, and I wanted to share my experience. Purchasing a home is typically the largest investment/purchase one makes in their lifetime, so I knew that selecting the right realtor was going to be crucial for me. After speaking with several realtors, I decided to go with Pitch R/E after having in-depth discussions with Paul about my desires, needs, and expectations. The depth of Paul's experience--(IIRC) over 20 years in the industry--really shone through. He was incredibly knowledgeable, proactive, accessible, and responsive throughout the entire process, from viewings to offers and all the way through escrow. I truly appreciated that he followed up multiple times after close of escrow to ensure everything was going well. As someone who is extremely detail-oriented, I always had questions--usually many of them--but Paul never made me feel like I was a bother in the least. While many people talk about how stressful buying a home can be, my experience was quite the opposite. If you're uncertain about which realtor to choose, I highly encourage you to reach out to Pitch R/E and see for yourself. It won't take long for you to understand why so many have entrusted their home buying journey to the Pitch R/E team. I wholeheartedly recommend Paul and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell their home. I am truly grateful for the support and guidance I received throughout this important process! read more

Paul was a great buyers agent. We were lost first time home-want-to-be-owners trying to start our home searching process and looked up agents for folks that had sold or bought houses in the area we wanted and Paul popped up. We scheduled a call / interview. Paul was nice, prompt, and courteous. Best of all he knows the San Diego area like the back of his hand. We decided to move forward. Paul was incredibly fast with his responses to both email and text. We were never left wondering what we needed to do, or what came next. Never in the process did we feel pressured to buy a house, nor did Paul get fed up with us. We had one scenario where we wanted to see a house and somehow he magically got a showing less than 16 hours later when we contacted him the previous evening. Paul works magic. Paul also is well-connected in the industry. Drain line inspection? House inspection? He got you. He has suggestions for various services needed to closing. We didn't need to research / search for folks to do those things for us. He made the post-offer acceptance section of the house buying process as least painful as I imagine it could have been. We closed on a property and Paul did some check ins with us to see how we were doing. Fantastic agent. read more

We have been in our beautiful long awaited new home for over 6 months now, and Paul is the one who helped make this happen. This was a long journey for us (mostly because we had to get our finances in order), but the timing was perfect. He first helped us sell our Condo, gave us great advice on what we needed to do to get the best offers and sell pretty quickly. He was well aware of our wants and needs for our new home and he was able to find something that checked off almost all of them. When we came across decisions to make he was very helpful and was attentive to us. Paul kept in good contact with us, keeping us updated on all the steps that was happening and what was coming next. We fully recommend Paul to help you sell and/or buy a home. He is very knowledgable in this industry and will make it happen for you. Thanks again Paul, for helping us find our forever home. read more

Couldn't be happier working with Paul as our Realtor. He is very professional and walked us through the entire process from start to finish. He helped us strategize months before we were ready to purchase a new home by analyzing the market and really understanding what we wanted for our forever home. He sold our house and also found us our forever home. We saw many homes during the process and Paul was always there even when we told him that it was ok, that we would just go to open houses ourselves. He always wanted to be there to make sure that we were all making an informed decision. Paul was always responsive day or night, weekdays or weekends. He even showed us a house on his way to his Wife's birthday dinner having to bring her along to show the house. She must have been good luck because that was the home that we got our bid accepted. Paul really cares about his clients and wants to make sure that the client is happy. There were times that we were trying to talk ourselves into a particular house but Paul said "No, you don't want to settle, we will keep looking and find your perfect home" Found us our dream home he did. Paul was truly an advocate for his clients throughout the entire process whenever we had questions or needed information he was always on top of it and communicated every step of the way. We have worked with other realtors in the past that did not provide close to the type of service Paul provided. We have already referred him to a few of our friends. Thanks again Paul you are the best! read more

I was looking to buy my first home and I immediately knew which realtor I wanted to work with. Not only has Paul been featured on several episodes of HGTV's "House Hunters" which showcased his fun "dad-joke" loving personality... Paul was named "2021 San Diego's Realtor of the Year"! Who better to take on this challenge with me than Paul!! He's been a realtor in San Diego for 20+ years! When it comes to the San Diego housing market, Paul is well versed and very knowledgable. Paul is so easy to work with and he was extremely patient with me when it came to answering my million questions . When he didn't have the answer on hand, he worked hard to find the answer for me... with zero hesitation! Buying a home can be so stressful, especially buying your first home and Paul worked so incredibly hard to ensure that this process for me was as smooth and as easy as possible.

From beginning to end, Paul made the sales process of our condominium run seamlessly. He took care of everything from staging to open house and presented us with offers more quickly than we had anticipated. Closing ran smoothly as well. If at any point we had questions, he was available for phone calls or texts at any time. We couldn't have asked for anyone better for the job! It's obvious he is a perfectionist with a lot of experience and connections in the real estate field. We will definitely work with Paul again in the future for any and all of our real estate needs. read more

Paul was my wife and I's realtor in the winter of '21/22, in San Diego, CA. We were purchasing our first home together, and the market was a tough one for would be buyers. Inventory was low, competition was fierce, and seller's expectations were through the roof. With this set of circumstances, Paul did a wonderful job managing our expectations through the home searching process and kept us positive through multiple beaten offers and an escrow that we decided to walk away from. He kept telling us that we would find what was right for us. Those weren't just words from Paul to make us feel better, he did the work to make that happen for us. From busting in early on the open house for the home we ended up purchasing, to introducing us to the right mortgage broker when our original financing plan was not meeting the necessary timelines, Paul pushed all the necessary buttons to get us into the home we wanted in the neighborhood that we wanted. Paul was always available for our phone calls when we needed reassurance or needed to walk through something that we didn't quite understand. Simply put, Paul wants to get you into your happy place and he will do everything he can to get you there. read more

Paul Caparas - Living in our dream home - Real Estate Agents Near Me - San Diego, California

Ahhhhh-mazing! That's the experience my wife and I have with Paul in the search for our first home. Professional, honest, knowledgeable, experienced and supportive. He has helped guide us for the last 6 months until we found "OUR" home. He was attentive and listened to what we wanted...then provided sound advice....then let us make our decision. He allowed us to take a break when we were busy and frustrated...and was fully available to us whenever we were ready to view or talk. He was engaged through the whole process and was able to answer all questions. I can't say enough about him and how happy we were to have him in our corner. Perfect balance between pushing forward and pulling back. He won't steer you wrong. His network of support were outstanding as well...from home search to finance and close. He is there for you and will make you feel like you're his only client when we know he is very busy. He'll get you comfortable with the process and help tremendously with any anxiety or stress. We are truly grateful to him! It's bittersweet that we won't interact with him on a daily basis, but I will definitely recommend him to all my family and friends.

Paul Caparas - Real Estate Agents Near Me - San Diego, California

We recently moved into our brand new home and couldn't have gotten through the whole process without Paul's expertise and guidance. We were both first time homebuyers and we are so grateful and appreciative of having Paul on our side. From the first step to the last step on the homebuying process, Paul was there for us no matter what time of day it was, he made sure that he was available whenever we needed him. Whether it's a simple question or just having him review a document that was sent to us by the lender or the builder, he made sure that he made time for us. Since this was our first time buying a home, when we made our very first offer, he sat on the phone with us explaining the very extensive amount of information that we needed to be aware of so that we have a full understanding of what to expect. We started this process early this year and with the pandemic still in full effect, we wouldn't have been able to move into our brand new home without Paul guiding us every step of the way. Paul showed us several homes with the consideration on what we were looking for and most importantly what was within our budget. He never pushed us into making an offer or making a decision that we weren't comfortable with. One piece of advice that he gave us that stuck with me was when he said, "if you like it, it won't hurt to put in an offer, worse that can happen is they don't pick us, but if you love it, go all in!" Regardless of this, we didn't feel presssured at all. He was simply letting us know what he would do if he was in the same situation. Paul was readily available whether it was being there for when we first viewed the model home, our almost 3 hour first walkthrough with the customer care representative, and finally the day that we got our keys! I highly recommend Paul to anyone looking to find their dream home or selling their home. Not only will you get humor during the process, he will for sure offer professionalism and he's highly-knowledgeable with the industry! Thanks Paul! read more

Paul is the best! My husband and I were buying our first home and interviewed a few different agents - Paul's outstanding work is true to his 5-star reviews. He led a perfect balance between allowing us to lead decisions with sound advice and recommendations. With Paul, we never felt pressured and he was extremely responsive and knowledgeable. Buying a home during COVID was an interesting experience and made having Paul that much more important. We went from being able to casually attend open houses in Jan & Feb to needing appointments, health forms, and sometimes financing proof for every viewing after March. Our tastes also completely changed from desiring an urban, walkable neighborhood to a suburban area with more space and less people. This meant a lot of work for Paul as we explored new neighborhoods and he set up appointments week after week. He was so patient while we explored and shifted. One time, I found an ideal house in a great location with a decent price. Paul immediately advised me that this specific address was located near a cement factory, which has been polluting the air every weekday around noon. He knew that if we visited the home during a weekend when the cement factory wasn't working, we wouldn't witness this. This knowledge was barely public in none of the air quality maps but I later found neighborhood petitions. As a public health researcher, there was no way I wanted my family to be near a toxic air source and I was incredibly grateful for Paul's experience. We finally closed on a dream home, which felt like a major chapter since we had lost a few home offers during this journey, being outbid several times. We were so glad we had Paul to navigate everything from viewing new homes, offer process, inspections, negotiations, and finalizing the close. Paul brings his decades-long experience representing both buyers and sellers. We will certainly work with Paul again if we move and couldn't recommend him more! read more

Paul helped us buy our dream home and we couldn't be happier! This was going to be our second home as a couple but first as a family of 4. Having two young children we had very specific needs in our (hopefully) forever home. Paul's expertise helped us make valuable decisions on neighborhood, size, age of home, etc. He highlighted some issues we would have never thought of and could possibly regret and was honest and helpful throughout the whole process. It was especially helpful that his awesome track record helped with some offers we made. Just knowing they were dealing with a realtor they knew would close the deal timely and with no issues helped work in our favor. We were considered in some offers where we weren't even the highest bidder just because they knew he was our agent. Paul was always available whether by email, text, or phone call and was always quick to respond. He was especially considerate of our schedules with work and the kids' bedtimes. Life is hectic for us these days and we're pretty bad with emails but Paul always made sure to communicate with us and to double check/remind us of any needs. Even when he had prior engagements with other clients or meetings (a busy Realtor is a good sign!) he always made time for us and was always proactive with the necessary paperwork and any deadlines. You want a realtor that knows the market, is honest, has experience, and a good track record. Paul has all these qualities and more! I highly recommend him to anyone looking for their next home. He will get you your dream house! read more

PROFESSIONAL. HONEST. FAST. Paul's the best! From beginning to end, Paul made the stresses of buying my first home a fun & fulfilling experience. Even during these difficult times and volatile market, Paul remained adaptable and, most importantly, transparent & timely in helping me find properties that fit my needs and wants. I highly appreciated his candid, yet professional opinion as he guided me through the process of searching, viewing, and successfully navigating the home-buying process. He was REAL with me, making it easy to trust his judgment and advice. I had zero experience buying a property before, but Paul made me feel like a pro. Paul was QUICK to respond no matter what time of day (or night) I had any questions or concerns about any properties, paperwork, and escrow. He worked closely with my broker and the seller's agent that allowed us to close escrow quickly, keeping both the seller and the buyer (me) happy. I never felt pressured in making decisions because he took the time to understand where I was coming from. Despite some short & stressful delays (under no one's control), Paul kept me informed and updated on exactly what to expect. He made me feel like this was more of a fun hobby for both of us! I 10/10 recommend Paul for anyone's home-buying needs for his transparency, timeliness, and professionalism going above & beyond in customer service. If/when I look into another property (or possibly selling in the far future), Paul will be the first realtor I call! read more

Paul was a referral to my daughter when she started to look for her first home. Paul showed probably about 5 properties to her over a period of several months. He was always prompt, friendly and professional. Because she really didn't know what was available in her price range Paul gauged her interest in the first few properties and pretty much knew what she was looking for and equally as important what she wasn't interested in She finally found a listed and location she wanted and Paul was there to negotiate the best deal. He was also present at each of the steps of the buying process. She is very happy with his services and would recommend him to other home buyers. read more

If you're looking to purchase a house or sell your current home, Paul Caparas is your guy. He is honest, knowledgeable, and reliable. We recently purchased our first home and called Paul right away. Without hesitation, Paul was eager to get the process rolling and help us find our home. Little did we know, we started the process just in the nick of time. If we waited a few more weeks, the market's limited supply and high demand would have made our search difficult. However, it was Paul's encouragement and expertise that helped to make our decision one of the best decisions we have ever made. Paul listened to our wants and needs and just by observing our side chats on what criteria were most important and what we really wanted, Paul was able to make a recommendation to us that actually made the most perfect sense for our family. Paul handled our situation with care, patience, and ease. We never felt pressured or rushed. From the minute we signed our papers until we received the keys to our house, Paul continued to check in with us and made sure we knew he was available for any questions or concerns. And, as first time homebuyers, we had a handful of questions. Paul always shared his wisdom, experience, and recommendations, guiding us along the way, and updating us on what to expect next. Our home buying experience would not have been as smooth if it were not for Paul by our side. The cherry on top was the extra care that Paul took to make sure he was physically present at key milestone events during the home buying and escrow process. It's that going above and beyond that made our experience such a memorable one. Paul is not just a real estate agent working to help you get a house. He is a friend who will root for you and work alongside you to find you a home. Thank you, Paul, for helping our family find our first home. We are incredibly grateful for you. read more

Best in San Diego! Look no further, Paul is great. He is very good at communication, friendly and gets the job done

Our extended appreciation to Paul for ensuring that our entire home buying process was a smooth one! We can't speak highly enough of our experience with Paul. Paul has overwhelming knowledge of real estate neighborhoods. He knows the benefits and limitations of the different areas. He was always available to show us homes, patiently answered all of our new home buyer questions and was next to us every step of the way. Paul was understanding of our needs and he went above and beyond to meet those needs. Paul was always professional, attentive and responsive. His greatest attribute is his patience, which is a true testament to his perseverance and dedication given how demanding and difficult my husband and I could be as clients. We never felt forced to make an offer on any of the homes that we expressed interest in. When we finally found the home that we wanted and ended up in a counter offer war, Paul walked us through every step of negotiations. His passion in serving his clients is without par. It is our honor to recommend Paul to anyone buying a home. read more

Paul helped us purchase our first home in the neighborhood we really wanted to stay in. He was patient with us, answered all of our questions, and thoroughly explained the process along the way. He was always willing to chat about the market and buying process even before we were ready to make offers. We had a fantastic first home-buying experience thanks to Paul! read more

I found Paul on Yelp and the reviews are all true. We worked with him all the way from NorCal, so you can already imagine the challenges of seeking a home from that distance. We first met Paul about a year before we finally purchased our San Diego home. When we first visited, he gave us great insight about the different neighborhoods, and really helped us narrow down our search. After that initial visit, I kept an eye on the market before taking the plunge. We did a few virtual tours where he would FaceTime me to see the properties that I was interested in, and I also relied heavily on his knowledge and opinions of the homes. He never pressured us into buying a house where there were any doubts. He was flexible and very comfortable to work with, which is not only important for the client but also for how he negotiates with the other party. My husband and I are fifth time home buyers (we just move a lot), and for various reasons, including being diligent and hard working, makes Paul one of our favorites to work with. To top it all off, he's very trustworthy and is currently holding our keys and also offering to do home visits until we arrive in a couple of weeks! Don't hesitate and get Paul on your team right away. read more

My husband and I worked with Paul to buy our first home in San Diego this August 2023 and we cannot recommend him highly enough. We were first time home buyers and knew basically nothing about the process but Paul made every step completely clear, straightforward and even fun. He is professional, friendly, honest, proactive and an excellent communicator. He knows the San Diego area extremely well and generously shares his insights. He is also clearly well versed in his field and we felt completely confident with his guidance. We were lucky enough to have heard about Paul through a mutual friend and are so happy we did. We were able to land the home of our dreams with him after just a couple of weeks on the hunt. As if that wasn't enough, paul continues to go out of his way to reach out, invite us to events, and make sure things with the house are going well. 10/10 recommend to anyone thinking about buying a house in Southern California! read more

My Fiancé and I used Paul's real estate services(Pitch real estate) to purchase our First home. Believe me when I tell you that he was on top of his game all the time. From sending over available houses in the areas we wanted to always answering any questions we had in a fast and timely manner. If you are looking into purchasing a home, I would definitely recommend Paul Caparas/Pitch Real Estate!! Thanks Paul!! read more

Paul helped us sell our home in 4S Ranch (Rancho Bernardo), and buy a new house in Rancho Tesoro (San Marcos). We love our new home and we loved working with Paul! Our family has very little experience selling homes, so we wanted to make sure we worked with someone who we felt comfortable with and was easy to talk to. Paul made sure to explain everything we did not understand and always suggested different options for us when we had to make decisions. We never felt like he was steering us in a particular direction or pressuring us into making a decision we were not comfortable with. With Paul's help, we were able to get multiple offers for our home at a time when real estate slows down during the year. Selling a home is very stressful and Paul did a good job of calming us down when we would stress out. Paul has good contacts throughout the industry, including escrow offices, stagers, general contractors, and previous clients who also have great things to say about him. In my opinion, this makes a big difference when deciding who is a good realtor to work with. I would also text Paul constantly throughout the process and he always responded to me. This was really important to me because I ask a lot of questions and I expect good, prompt responses. His answers to my questions also showed how knowledgeable he is about everything. When we closed escrow on our purchase, Paul was there. I'm glad that he took the time to even record a video of the moment the keys were physically handed to us. Such a good memory that we didn't even think to take a video of. Over a week after we moved into our new home, Paul even took the time to check in on us and make sure we were ok. I don't know if other realtors do this, but it's a great personal touch I think others will appreciate as well. I would absolutely recommend Paul to anyone who needs to buy or sell their home. He really did a good job of making sure we were taken care of throughout the entire process. read more

Paul was very professional, honest, and straightforward. It was comforting to know we had someone looking out for our best interests in all aspects of the deal. He brought a great deal of knowledge and experience to the table and we found comfort in letting him represent us. I would recommend Paul to anyone in the market for an agent. read more

From the first step to the last step, Paul guided us through our entire home buying process for our first home. We eventually bought in Poway, the area we wanted to be in when we first started looking at buying a house. We recommend Paul for buying a home in San Diego! read more

I am so lucky and glad Paul was our real estate agent. He was alert, responsive, detailed oriented and most importantly very understanding to our needs. Very accountable! He is my second real estate agent and he is definately the one I will keep going to and recommend to others. I will be moving to San Diego and start a new journey there and Paul made all this happen :) Thank you!!! read more

We had the pleasure of working with Paul again-this time to selling my MIL's home. Again, would recommend him to anyone and everyone! He kept us updated and really went above and beyond (as he always does). Don't hesitate to give Paul a call, you won't regret it! read more

For anyone looking for the best real estate agent ever, look no further and hire Paul Caparas. He is simply the most professional, courteous and knowledgeable agent there is. He works hard to not only meet your expectations, but to surpass them. Last May, my husband hired Paul to sell his condo in Rancho Bernardo. In less than four days, Paul got several offers. Within a week, the condo was sold and in escrow. Paul surpassed all expectations my husband had and was completely satisfied with Paul's service. I decided to sell my condo in September and decided to meet with Paul at my husband's recommendation. After meeting with him, I knew he was the right guy to sell my condo. Within a week of listing my home, Paul had multiple offers on the table. I accepted an offer and we were in escrow. My husband and I had told Paul we were also in the market for buying a new home. After giving him a wish list of what I wanted, Paul immediately started working to find our new home. Within a few weeks, Paul found our home with every wish and more I had fulfilled. Within a few days we made an offer and we were in escrow. Between selling my condo and buying our new home, Paul managed everything with such ease and control. Paul kept us constantly updated and ensured that everything went smoothly with both homes. We moved into our new home in November and I couldn't be happier. Thank you, Paul for doing such a wonderful job!!! I will be recommending Paul to all my friends and family should they be looking to buy or sell a home. read more

My wife and I were exploring a new development in San Diego while also planning on selling our first home. When I reached out to Paul, he was very responsive and really listened to what we wanted. The experience Paul provided was exceptional! He guided us through the entire process of buying a new home in a very competitive market and developed a strategy to maximize the opportunity in a seller's market. Paul's experience and attention to detail, without a doubt, helped us get our new home and secured an offer on our first home that exceeded our expectations. The 5-star rating is an understatement of how happy we are with our experience. We enthusiastically recommend Paul to anyone who is looking for an experienced realtor who leverages his knowledge to maximize your benefit. read more

My husband and I worked with Paul to buy our first home in early 2020, just as the market was starting to become difficult with somewhat low inventory. Back then he helped us navigate home buying as first timers when we had no idea what we were doing; he advised us every step of the way, and helped us understand the process. Early this year, we decided to sell because of the intense seller's market. We kept in touch with Paul throughout our time in the home, and had no hesitation in giving him a call when we began to think about selling. We always knew that we could trust his expertise and opinions whenever we had a question (which was often!) Together we fielded multiple offers and ended up with an incredible outcome that exceeded our hopes when we first decided to sell. He helped ensure a smooth escrow experience, and even a leaseback to give our family a little bit of time to figure out our next step. If we weren't relocating outside of San Diego, we would have asked him to work with us for our next home purchase! Thanks, Paul! read more

I know I might sound redundant if you've actually taken the time to read some of my service type business reviews. Trust me when I say that Yelp will not lead you astray if you're trying to decide if a business, or in my case a person, is someone you should do business with. For your real estate needs, whether it's buying or selling, Paul Caparas and Pacific Sotheby's International Realty should be your first destination. My family and I had been living in our apartment for five years and ever since we moved back to San Diego in 2010, we had prayed about owning a home in the greatest city in the entire world. With our annual lease fast approaching, my wife and I decided that we would see if there were any homes available in the 4S/Rancho Bernardo/Poway/North County area. Knowing how pricey the areas we were limiting our search to, we just left it in God's hands and the trustworthy word of mouth search engine, also known as Yelp. I knew I needed the assistance of a real estate agent, so I inputted "real estate agents" and our zip code, which instantly brought up Paul Caparas. Read his 5-star reviews, which are legit and espouse positive views about consumers' experiences with Paul, and thought Yelp hasn't let me down before, so I left him a message on his phone. Paul called me back immediately and I decided to work with him without considering anyone else. When I informed Paul about what we were looking for, which was 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a garage, Paul told me straight up that in the area we wanted to live in, the price of these type of homes would be more than what we qualify for. When he first told me this, I initially thought that I had made a wrong choice in going with him because I thought he wasn't even trying. One of the main reasons I'm glad we stuck with Paul is because of his transparency. He has nothing to hide and I really appreciated him being straight up with us. Paul is honest, trustworthy, and really does make you feel like you're priority. Paul assisted us throughout the entire home buying process, kept us informed throughout, and followed up with us whenever we had any questions. I love his collaborative way of doing business, where we worked together to find the home that we truly liked. If my wife and I found something on Trulia or one of the other home search websites, we would let Paul know about it and he would check if it was available. When he showed us homes, he was so accomodating by ensuring that we could see the home during a day and time that fit our schedule. Through his diligence and desire to find the home that fit our needs, Paul accomplished our dream of owning a home in San Diego within the timeframe and constraints we had set. Although the house we purchased wasn't exactly what we wanted, Paul found a home that was move in ready, had a lot of good upgrades, had a garage, a great view, and most importantly, was in the area that we so desired. I've had the opportunity to purchase two homes prior to this home, but my previous experiences were more stressful than this purchase in San Diego. Paul and his all encompassing team of mortgage brokers, inspectors, and support staff were the reasons this purchase was seamless and less stressful. Here's validation of why you should consider Paul to be your real estate agent: when we eventually sell this home and decide to purchase again in the Chula Vista area, Paul is who we're going with to sell and to help us find our second home in San Diego. Paul, we are blessed that God led us to you and we wanted to thank you for allowing us to be homeowners again. read more

Well well well, what can we say about Paul? Let's just say that he was one of the best parts of the home-buying process. From first meeting with Paul to when we closed escrow, he showed an extreme amount of professionalism and was consistently in communication with us. What we liked most about working with Paul was his honest and genuine nature (which can sometimes be lacking in the real estate field). Throughout the escrow process, Paul was constantly corresponding with my husband and myself, and was willing to answer any questions these first time home-buyers threw his way. In the future, we will have no hesitation about who to refer to friends and family who want to buy/sell a home. Thanks Paul! read more

Paul Caparas - Home sweet home. Thanks Paul!! :) - Real Estate Agents Near Me - San Diego, California

I have recently purchased a house with Paul's help and found him right here on Yelp. A lot of the realtor's had high reviews, so I did not take it seriously. While reading through the reviews, I saw that he had an award from the San Diego Union-Tribune and that lent his clients' testimonial credence. After spending 4 months looking for the house, I must say my interactions with Paul has been exceptional. I am used to people telling me they will do something and forget to do it, but not Paul. When he says he will contact me or provide me with additional information, I can rely on him to do just that. If you spend some time with him, you will discover that Paul is a very honest and personable guy. When he tells you, "I want you to be happy with the purchase and you should take your time finding a place", he really means it. I enjoyed my time looking at properties with Paul; it was like hanging out with a friend. He does his research prior to the visits and he will tell you issues that he had found and point out any issues he identifies on site. If you think all the stuff that I wrote is something all realtors do, you might be right. But when my apartment lease was coming to an end and I needed a place. I was willing to bid higher to get the house and stop stressing over it. The house was well within my income and I knew I could purchase it without affecting my finance. But Paul told me that we could get it cheaper and told me to lower it. I trusted him and to my surprise he was right. The buyer accepted the offer and the house appraised above the purchase price. When I told this to my friends, they were surprised that a Realtor told me to lower the bid. It would have been much easier for him to get me to overspend and close the deal faster, but not Paul, and that is what makes him exceptional. He does not look for shortcuts and he has the his clients best interest in mind. read more

I wish I could give Paul 10 STARS!!!! He is simply the best at what he does!!!! In my last review, Paul went above and beyond my expectations. Well, he went even further. After selling my condo in May, my wife and I decided to sell her condo just after the summer. My wife was so impressed with what Paul did to sell my condo, she hired him to sell her condo. She met with Paul and it was instant chemistry. She hired him on the spot. Within a week of hiring him, Paul had beautiful pictures of her condo placed on the MLS, listed, and an open house scheduled. On the fifth day of being on the market, Paul had excellent offers on the table and in a few days we were in escrow. Paul's magic did not end here. Paul knew we were looking to buy a home also. We had hired him to represent us in the purchase of a new home. Within two weeks of being in escrow on my wife's condo, Paul had found several homes for us to look at. By the end of the second week, Paul found my wife's dream house!!! It was everything she wanted right from the minute we drove into the community, up the driveway and entering the doorway. Paul hit the bullseye!!! That day we put in an offer and a few days later after a little bit of negotiating, we were in escrow. Now with selling a home, buying a new home and preparing to move all at the same time is completely chaotic. But Paul managed everything smoothly!!! For any little bump in the road, Paul tackled it and overcame it to keep the ball moving. Paul even helped both the seller's agent of our new home and the buyer's agent of my wife's condo when they missed something or were unaware of proper paperwork, inspections etc. Paul ensured that everything went smoothly. Paul kept us always informed and updated. Selling a home is always stressful. Now complicate that with buying a new home at the same time. Paul managed to keep our stress levels at a minimum and always maintained a positive attitude. By November 2016, my wife's condo sold. A few weeks later, we closed on our new home. I have never seen someone work so hard to ensure our expectations and dreams were met and surpassed. Paul made us feel like we were his only clients, even though he is constantly busy with other sales. I can't thank Paul enough for what he has done for us this year!!! In less than seven months, Paul sold two condos and found us our dream home!!! For anyone looking to buy, to sell or to do both, look no further and hire Paul Caparas!!! He will work non-stop for you...day, night, weekends, and believe it or not, even on his own vacation time. Paul will be dedicated to you. Thanks again Paul for everything!!!! read more

We would've given 10 star to Paul. Here is why: In the beginning of May my husband and I started looking for a home to purchase in San Diego due to his job change. At the same time, we had to sell our home in OR. You can imagine our stress level. We visited San Diego a couple of times but in terms of where to look or price of houses, no clue. I went on yelp and after doing some research and reading reviews, we decided to work with Paul. I can tell you, picking Paul as our agent is one of the BEST decisions we've made during our relocation process. We had a few calls with Paul to give him some ideas of what we would be looking for (a long wish list like those buyers on HGTV:-) Before we flew to SD during Memorial weekend for a house hunting trip, Paul always kept us updated on new houses that met our needs. We identified some houses in RB, San Marcos area to see. During that week, Paul showed us almost 30 houses and we didn't find the one that we really liked (he can tell you how picky we are!). We went back to Portland without a house, a couple of weeks later, our house in Portland received an offer. We had only 30 days to close our house in Portland, but we haven't found one in SD yet. My husband and I decided to focus our search in San Marcos area and Paul kept looking for houses there and helping us narrow down our search before we came to SD again in mid-June to start our 2nd time hunting trip and we found the house we both love!!!! We have absolutely nothing negative to say about Paul but positive. He is not only knowledgeable, professional, honest but most importantly PATIENT and CALM. My husband and I probably are one of the most picky clients Paul has worked with, his patience and calmness made this whole process easier and less stressful!!!! If you are looking for a true real estate agent who is dedicated, thinks for you, has your best interests in mind, Paul Caparas is the one!!!! Thank you very much Paul for everything!!!! read more
