I was very fortunate to have Paul Nakao as my agent for the purchasing of my new home.  He was personable and sensitive to my needs during the whole process.  He is knowledgeable about the market and makes good recommendations without being pushy.  It was obvious to me that he genuinely cares about his clients as people.  Even though I felt overwhelmed as a first time buyer by myself, I was able to go through the process smoothly with his support and encouragement. When I made an offer on the house, mine was not the highest offer, but he wrote a letter on my behalf and helped me get the house.  He also helped me move in earlier than expected!  I am truly blessed to have Paul as my agent. The previous owner, and I have been texting each other back and forth.  She said she was happy that I got the house, and she was touched by the letter.  Thank you, Paul, for helping me write the letter. It made the difference!

My husband and I were first time home buyers who knew very little about real estate. In the beginning, we did not know what to do or where to start. We had a budget, a desire to buy a house, and we were in definite need of professional guidance.   With recommendation from a close family member and after interviewing several potential realtors, we decided to start the home buying process with realtor Paul Nakao. And thank goodness we did so!   We found our first home in our desired neighborhood within three months of working with Paul Nakao. We can now proudly say that we’re home owners of a beautiful home, and much of that was made possible with Paul’s diligence. We can also confidently say that Paul helped to make our first home buying process easy and with minimal stress. His knowledgeable guidance and commitment to his profession seems obvious and is truly admirable in our opinion.     Beyond demonstrating endless knowledge about real estate, Paul proves himself to be honest, dependable, hard-working, and readily available to his clients. He consciously made every effort to address our questions and concerns and kept us well informed. He is professional, efficient, and thoughtful. We were most impressed with Paul’s positive attitude, work ethics and how well he followed through with his words and actions.   Throughout the entire home searching and home purchasing process, my husband and I never questioned whether we will find our first home or if we were in good hands; we had peace of mind knowing that we were not in it alone and that we had someone who truly care for us working on our side. We are very blessed to live in our very first home with our toddler son who loves the house as much as we do; and we were fortunate to have worked with realtor Paul Nakao.   We hope Paul continues to provide excellent service and thereby allowing first home buyers and repeat home buyers out there a positive experience in the real estate business.

I’d like to give high praise to my real estate agent Paul Nakao. In the 25 years I’ve lived in Pleasanton this is the first time I’ve sold a home and he has been phenomenal guiding me through this highly stressful process. My home was my roots, my foundation, my security and the wonderful place I raised two sons. Making the decision to downsize and let go of my home was one of the most painful decisions I’ve made. Paul was understanding, compassionate, empathetic, gentle and very patient in dealing with my emotions. He understood my pride of ownership and with his expertise priced it right resulting in 10 offers. It doesn’t get any better than that especially in this economy! That speaks volumes of how well he did his homework to market my home.   Now as I move on to the next chapter of finding a new home, Paul has gone that extra step of understanding my financial goals, what I can afford, what I want and my preferences and taste for homes that may require some upgrades. He takes into account the location of my next home and to consider ‘entry ways’ as a security feature for my safety as a single woman. He went above and beyond to help me show the house with a sick cat posting notes in the house to ensure no one let the cat out. He’s provided me comfort in letting go of my house and putting my cat down recently.   Paul truly has ‘my back’ and I know he will find that perfect new home for me.

This year, I have had the pleasure of working with Paul S. Nakao. Paul takes the time to listen to the buyer’s needs and after internalizing them, he acts upon what is the best interest of his client. Furthermore, Paul takes the time to review all documents in great detail. After having numerous experiences with other Real Estate Agents, Paul sets the bar to others in his field of how work needs to be done. He is never too busy to answer questions and creates a welcoming environment for questions. No question goes unanswered by Paul. Furthermore, any question that Paul does not know an answer to, he takes the time to find it then answers in detail. Paul goes above and beyond what is expected of him and does what it takes to assure a smooth transaction. For example, on numerous occasions, Paul made calls to my loan officer to assist with details of the loan to assure everything proceeded smoothly and on time. Paul is very professional and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a Real Estate Agent.
