"After living in my home for more than 20 years, I feared that preparing it for listing would be a difficult emotional experience. But Paul’s advice on decluttering and his skill in spot-staging gave my home a refreshed look. More importantly, his strategy to list off-market, without public open houses gave me piece of mind. The result: in escrow after 5 days, a smooth 28 day close, the 3-week leaseback I required and a price significantly over asking. Thank you Paul for a 5-star experience." - Karen E., Seller
"On a daily basis we were impressed with Paul’s work ethic, vision and knowledge. He took what could have been an incredibly stressful process and made it all seem so easy. And, most importantly, his strategy resulted in multiple strong offers and a final sale price above asking. Our only regret is that we can’t work with Paul on the sale of our non-US based properties – we know from experience we will never have another real estate relationship as positive as this one." - Monica J. & Tony B., Sellers
★★★★★
"As a dear friend of my husband, Paul helped us sell a property with great ease. After my husband passed away suddenly, Paul made a grieving widow feel comfortable about every decision when selling our family home. Next, he spent more than a year locating the right home for me, guiding me through the entire process and opening his support service network for all my needs. In many areas of my life, I’m on my own. But with Paul by my side, I am never alone." - Steff F., Seller/Buyer
★★★★★
“Paul is an incredible listener, thoughtful communicator, and took the time to get to know us as people. As a result, he built trust with us immediately. We always thought that the ‘hard work’ was getting an offer accepted, but during the even-more stressful escrow period, Paul was instrumental in keeping our deal alive and managing our collective stress and anxiety. We look forward to our next opportunity to work with him and can’t recommend him enough!” - Lily & Sam F., Buyers
★★★★★"As sellers who were out of state, it was such a blessing to have Paul manage all the renovations in order to prepare our house for sale. Paul acted as realtor, general contractor, advisor and genuine friend. He gave us such peace of mind and helped us navigate all the intricacies of the process. Paul will ensure you feel like his #1 client and you will walk away feeling like you got the best deal!" - Christine & Andrew K., Sellers
★★★★★
“We are so thankful to have had Paul’s support throughout this process. From day one he saw the potential and took the initiative to introduce us to inspectors and appraisers to help us resolve any issues in advance of putting it on the market. Selling a home over the holidays and in the midst of a new wave of Covid news could have been challenging, but Paul was able to put our home into escrow within days of listing. We highly recommend Paul Small for your home sale needs.” - Todd & Kammy K, Sellers
★★★★★
“We were immediately struck by Paul’s extensive market knowledge, his easy manner and uncanny ability to understand our lifestyle. He was patient throughout the years, adjusting his search as our professional situation changed and the Pandemic struck. After helping us discover the perfect home, he and his team made a daunting process simple and successful. We appreciate all he did to help us realize our dream.” - Rich and Bonnie M., Buyers
★★★★★"Paul did a wonderful job, exceeding expectations on all fronts. He took on the challenge of dealing with a dated home and a client two time zones away and pro-actively managed the entire process from beginning to end. As a Real Estate broker myself, I understand the challenges of the market and enthusiastically recommend Paul for all your property needs." - Jeff M., Seller
★★★★★
"Selling our LA house and relocating our family in the middle of a pandemic could have been a painful experience. However, Paul went above and beyond, helping with every step of the preparation, transition, and sales process, setting us up for success at every turn. We couldn't be happier with the price we got for our home, but we're even more grateful for the guidance and expertise that Paul provided, giving us confidence and stability throughout the entire process. " - Stephen and Hilary F., Sellers
★★★★★
" I’ve known Paul for 15 years so when we decided to find a home, I knew absolutely who to call. Throughout a grueling house hunt, Paul displayed unbelievable patience, wisdom, and knowledge. Honestly, without him, I’m not sure we would’ve found what we hope will be our forever home. I’d recommend Paul in a heartbeat – he’ll be there with you every step of the way and undoubtedly will help to find the right home for you. " - Misha and Nora M., Buyers
★★★★★
" I know we’ve only completed one major milestone in this process but I wanted to thank you for the great job you’ve been doing so far! This is my first time purchasing a home and you’ve made it painless and seamless and we appreciate it. " - Kelly and Jim L., Buyers
★★★★★
" We’ve bought and sold numerous properties over the years but, rarely
have we had such a successful experience as we had with Paul and his team. Ours was a time-sensitive transaction and their concierge service was always on and responsive to us across multiple time zones. They are smart, resourceful, and patient and following their advice was spot on, time after time. We will absolutely use them again. March 2019 " - William and Tammy F., Buyers
★★★★★
"Paul was the MVP in our home search & his expertise expedited the process to be quick and painless. He has a natural knack for recommending properties that perfectly fit our wishlist within our budget and in our ideal location. Paul was accommodating every step of the way and is definitely someone you want in your corner when making such an important decision. Highly recommend him to anyone and everyone!" - Ryan S., Buyers
★★★★★
"I worked with Paul during his advertising life and thought highly of him then. But now that I’ve worked with him as my rental agent I feel even more strongly about his skills. Paul coached me through the process for my rental home, gave advise to improve the look of my home, helped me set a good market price and kept me in the loop as he met with potential renters. He closed the deal over the course of a couple of weeks and I couldn’t be happier with the renter he found. I would definitely use Paul again." - Anne-Marie S., Seller

What is The Art of Representation?
A native Angeleno, I grew up in a "show-biz family" and began my career as a third-generation theatrical agent impacting the careers of actors and writers including the likes of Crispin Glover, Ray Liotta and Demi Moore. After beginning a family, I traded Sunset Blvd for Madison Avenue and spent the next 20 years in advertising, creating and implementing marketing strategies that drove new business growth, resulting in the successful onboarding of clients such as Coca-Cola, Comcast, Electronic Arts, Nike, Pinkberry, Princess Cruises and the US Army among many others.
I now apply those same principles of agency; integrity, accountability and hustle to my clients as we work together to define and fulfill their real estate strategies

What is the Compass Private Exclusive Network and why should I care?
The Compass Private Exclusive Network allows Compass Agents to share a listing with their Compass colleagues and their buyers. It is not accessible to the MLS or 3rd party aggregators like Zillow, Redfin and Trulia.The value is two-fold:
· For Sellers, I am able to list discreetly without accruing Days on Market. This allows me to gather insights, gauge pricing tolerance and find Buyers who will write aggressively to avoid a multiple offer situation.
· For Buyers who want to avoid those multiple bidding situations, I can give them access to off-market listings exclusive to the network.
