Testimonials from Past Sellers

Paul helped me purchase my houseboat. Professional, knowledgeable, efficient and fun to work with. His vast experience in the field was a real asset. And his vast network of contacts with key business was very helpful too. I enjoyed working with Paul, and highly recommend him.

Testimonials from Past Sellers

I found that working with Paul to sell my houseboat was an absolute necessity since he knows more about houseboats than anyone in the Bay Area. He also has extensive construction knowledge that really helped in guiding me through tough decisions as to needed repairs, etc.

Testimonials from Past Sellers

I found myself obsessed with buying a floating home, however I knew nothing about owing one. Paul’s deep knowledge of the community as well as how they are constructed helped give me the confidence to make an offer and feel good about it. That was nearly 10 years ago and it am still grateful for his wisdom and guidance.

Testimonials from Past Sellers

We recently had the pleasure of working with Paul during our move from San Francisco to Sausalito, marking our first purchase of a floating home. With no prior experience in this unique housing market, we were initially unsure of the process, but Paul’s expertise quickly put us at ease. He was incredibly patient and dedicated, taking the time to educate us on the different construction types, styles, and the nuances of various floating home communities.

Thanks to his guidance, we felt fully confident when it came time to submit our offer, and we ultimately closed on our dream home. Paul went above and beyond by connecting us with trusted professionals for lending, insurance, and inspections, ensuring every aspect of the transaction was seamless.

Given his years of experience and stellar reputation within the community, I have no hesitation in recommending Paul to anyone interested in exploring the process of purchasing a floating home. His professionalism and commitment to his clients truly shine throughout the entire experience.

Testimonials from Past Sellers

As my rental property manager, I could always rely on Paul to find excellent tenants and ensure that the property was maintained to a high standard. He communicated issues immediately and quickly resolved whatever  needed fixing. A great experience for both tenants and me!

Paul’s deep experience as a realtor helped me clarify the kind of property I was really looking for, and then went the extra mile to help me get the home I wanted. Highly recommended.

Floating homes are connected to standard utilities like electricity, water, and sewage through dock hookups, just like traditional homes.
