It goes without saying how much an endorsement from someone gives people confidence that they are making a good decision or at least know that others have had a great experience. The following quotes are verbatim, in their own words, from Paul's current and past buyers and sellers, colleagues, trade partners and others. For him, this is what it is all about. About taking care of people, helping them achieve what they want out of real estate, working with business associates in a professional manner, and always keeping focused on what's most important to them.
| "I never thought that the opportunity to own my own home would ever come, but it finally did at the age of 50. I owe it all to Paul Brown!
I met Paul approximately 4 years ago while passing through a local open house in Folsom. I knew from the moment I met Paul that he would be the real estate agent for me when the time came for me to embark on this journey. Over the years he kept in touch with me and helped me to clearly define what I wanted in a home. When I was ready, he put it into high gear to help me get exactly what I wanted.
In these current times of short sales/foreclosures buying a home was even more challenging. For Paul this was a tall order, but he was up for the challenge. We hit the road every week and looked at approximately 70 homes along the way.
The minute we walked into my now, home, Paul knew this was the home for me. He had really listened to all I had to say about what I wanted, and he was right…it was!
Paul matched the right home with the right owner, at the right time. He was always honest and straight forward, realistic and compassionate. This was a very long process from offer to close. Paul was on top of it all the way! It was worth every moment we had to wait as it came together.
This was the home I planned to spend the rest of my life in. Like I told Paul, I discovered that buying a home, was like choosing a husband, I have to really love it! Since I plan to spend the rest of my life with it, I wasn’t looking for just a house, I wanted a home. And in the process I also gained a friend! Thanks Paul!
I highly recommend Paul Brown to help you find your home. Whether it is your first or your last home purchase, he will truly be there for you no matter what it takes to insure you will love your home. Every day I walk into my home, it is still unreal to me. I honestly don’t think I will ever get over that feeling!
Grazie Paul!" |

"Dear Paul,
Thanks so much for all you did to help us purchase our first rental property. You stayed on the project for several months until you found just the right property for us. You always kept our financial situation and needs in mind as you researched and showed us properties.
Your advice regarding which condos to consider, the offer to make and how to deal with the sellers’ agents was invaluable to us. We certainly learned a lot from your guidance in the world of short sales, bank-owned properties and traditional property sales.
We could always rely on your calm, professional manner and your refreshing sense of humor. For any future real estate needs we will definitely want to work with you.
Thanks again!" |

| "I have been a mortgage broker for 14 years and had the pleasure of working with Paul for the last couple years. I have dealt with a lot of agents and can say that Paul ranks up there with the best of them. He is knowledgeable, professional, and you can tell he truly cares about his clients. The clients we share in common always speak highly of Paul’s efforts and are very appreciative of the amount of time he takes with them to insure they end up happy and with the right house. He really knows his business and how to navigate the process: even in this challenging market. Aside from being a top level agent, he is also a great guy. He is easy to talk to, has led an interesting life and his dedication to his work and his family is inspirational." |

"Paul was:
Patient, when we were impatiently waiting for the right buyer for our home
Assuring, when we were doubting that selling our home would happen
Understanding, when we had constructive criticism on features of our home
Light, when we felt surrounded by the darkness of the housing market
Paul was a calming force in our goal of selling our home in Folsom. He followed up on every showing and provided us with vital feedback...kept us focused and in reality, and out of "fantasy land". He was a true partner in achieving the best selling price for our home in the worst of market conditions. We will definitely use Paul's talents when we are ready to sell again and will, without hesitation, recommend him to anyone who is selling their home." |

| "Thanks again for working with us and helping us get a great house and a great price! We love it there, and it has been everything we wanted. The neighbors are great and living on a flat property in a cul de sac has been perfect for our daughter to learn to ride her bike." |

| "Buying a home can be a very intimidating experience for anyone and being first time home buyers didn't make us any less nervous. Having a great Real Estate Agent can make the search for a new home comfortable and pleasant. We found that with Paul Brown his level of experience and professionalism gave us a strong feeling of comfort, understanding, and trust. Not only did he meet our expectations as clients but he went above and beyond his responsibilities as a realtor and has become a great friend. Thank you Paul!" |

| “Paul, thanks so much for helping us find our home in Rocklin. My wife and I truly appreciated all of the time that you spent with us, helping us pick out the perfect home for our family. If it were not for the insightful questions you asked my wife and I during our brief house-hunting trip here from Indiana, I wouldn’t have had the confidence to buy a house without my wife ever having seen it. I’m going to recommend you to anyone I can, and if I’m in the market to buy (or sell) a house ever again, you’ll be my first call." |
