Bought a Townhouse home in 2018 in Brookland, Washington, DC.

Paul was very patient and helpful as I moved through the real estate search and buying process. As a first time buyer I needed alot of explanation and education. Paul was always there to provide what was needed and do the requisite background work. I can see Paul being a very successful broker in the years to come.

Bought a Townhouse home in 2018 in Dupont Circle, Washington, DC.

Working with Paul has been an incredible experience. As foreign investors, he gave us the confidence and answers we needed to be able to make a decision on a property. He was responsive and proactive through the whole process. We would definitely work with him again the next time we need to buy a property

Sold a home in 2018.

Paul was calm and very helpful throughout the complicated process of selling my home of 14 years. He and Jennifer Touchette made a great team. He was very responsive, always following up my inquiries promptly with answers. They provided several options for selling my house and allowed me to choose the one best for me. I think they were realistic about price points and we settled on a reasonable price. They also had recommendations for movers, stagers, utilities changes, and all the tasks that go along with selling.

Helped me rent a home in Georgetown, Washington, DC 20007.

Paul's superb knowledge, drive, timeliness and (most of all) patience made our experience simply superb. We had engaged with a number of other agents before a colleague recommended Paul. His personality is naturally supportive, and guided us through what had been to that point less than ideal! Thanks again to Paul!

Helped me rent a home in Atlanta, GA.

Paul was incredibly patient during our time looking for rentals in particular when we kept changing our minds about price. He knew just what we were looking for and always kept us updated.

Sold a home in 2018 in Columbia Heights, Washington, DC 20001.
 
Paul Basto is one of the best agents in the Washington, DC area. I needed an experienced agent to sell my investment property fast. I was impressed with Paul’s ability to negotiate and to handle difficult situations with my closing. Paul gave me excellent guidance, unflagging availability, and  provided deep knowledge about the housing process. He is approachable, patient, and incredibly generous with his time (including mornings, evenings, and weekends). He answered every question, explained every form and the overall process clearly and thoroughly. Buying a home can be challenging. However, working with Paul made it as painless and straightforward as possible. I would highly recommend him.

Bought and sold a Townhouse home in 2017 in Capitol Hill, Washington, DC.

Paul was an amazing realtor for both our home buying and selling experience - patient, well-informed, and just a general pleasure to work with. He helped us buy our first home in DC, where we moved from California, so he had an incredible depth of local neighborhood knowledge and we absolutely LOVED the home that we bought. When our job circumstances led us to leave DC 18 months later, we didn't hesitate to contact Paul to help us sell our home and we were very happy with the sales process and the coaching and support we received from him along the way. I would not, and have not, hesitated to recommend him to any friends looking to buy or sell their homes in DC.
