Paul Pickering

Why Paul Pickering?

Whether it is a single-family home, multi-family dwelling, or bank-owned home, residential property is where I shine in experience and negotiating skills.

I also believe in truly listening to my clients and educating them on virtually every aspect of the real estate transaction process: from loan qualification, to market research, to effectively marketing property, to disclosures and the escrow process, to closing the transaction.

I believe the secret to a successful close of escrow comes by working with a good offer; the skill is in knowing how to write or recognize a good offer. I do.

If you want a residential property specialist who will represent your interests with passion, integrity and attention to detail, then you've found the right person.

Specialties:

I specialize in helping home buyers, sellers, and investors, in the purchase, sale, and exchange of residential homes and properties in SLO County. My clientele is located in virtually all areas of the Central Coast, including the city of San Luis Obispo and local beach communities.

I'm current with the local market statistics and know the best neighborhoods in each community (please see my website at SLOhomes4sale.com).

I'm also skilled in working with 1031 Exchanges, Seniors, Short Sales, and Bank Owned Properties.

Interests:

I love blues, jazz, rock ‘n roll and to play guitar with friends as often as possible. I'm also an avid surfer & traveler. I enjoy spending time with my wife, Pam, my family, friends; keeping fit, yoga, tennis, and helping my cleints achieve their objectives.
