I got so INCREDIBLY lucky to get connected to Paulo. He expertly managed
finding the exact right home for me and my family in the perfect
location not only at the right price but also worked with me remotely!
Every single professional he connected me to was also outstanding. I
could not speak more highly of his professionalism, negotiating skills,
effectiveness, availability, responsiveness, calm, and grace.

My wife and I worked with Paulo Prietto to help us relocate from Los Angeles down to Orange County. When we walked into his office, we weren’t sure what town we wanted to live in or whether we were looking to rent or buy; all we knew was that we needed to find a great place for us and our three children in an excellent school district with enough space and amenities for our active family, all within a moderate budget and a very tight time window that would allow our kids to start new schools at the beginning of the school . We had already met with several REALTORS® during our explorations and had been disappointed that no one had risen to our challenge.
Paulo swung into action and it was immediately clear that he was a cut above other REALTORS® that we had worked with. He asked lots of good questions and quickly created a long list of potential properties, and then took careful note of the feedback we gave him. He invested time in educating us on neighborhoods and showing us an array of houses so we could decide, and he could understand, what we were looking for. Even though our old home wasn’t on the market yet, he devised a creative strategy to allow us to get into escrow on a property that was a good fit for us. At every step of the way Paulo was there to help us – not only did he find us a great house in Laguna Beach that is next to a park that our kids love, he helped us negotiate a good deal and find a lovely pre-school nearby for our youngest and introduced us to an excellent contractor who did a remodel to make the house a perfect fit.
Paulo was simply amazing. His client service is second to none and he took such great care of us that along the way we felt like he became a family friend. If you’re looking for an outstanding REALTOR® in Orange County, look no further.

In owning a construction/ development business, I’ve worked with many different brokers. Paulo and his boutique brokerage are at the very top in terms of knowledge, integrity, professionalism, and ability to execute. My business has grown as a direct result of Paulo’s help. Working with Paulo has been a pleasure as Paulo has a very personable personality.
I look forward to working with Paulo as I continually build my real estate portfolio. I greatly appreciate Paulo’s insight and ability to follow through. I wanted to inform Paulo that I am very pleased with the real estate services he so graciously provided me.

Paulo helped us buy a single family home in Orange County. He dedicated a
lot of his time to virtual showings as well as in person showings. As
we were moving from out of state, Paulo rearranged his schedule several
times to accommodate us in terms of time changes and last minute trips to
view homes in Orange County. He is a skilled negotiator, has a vast
knowledge of Laguna Beach and Orange County, and is just a fun person to
work with. He is dedicated to his clients and works on providing
solutions to any problems. He is an overall great guy.
