About Paul

Broker & Owner, John L. Scott Real Estate Bellingham Co-Owner, John L. Scott Real Estate Anacortes Real estate is something I was born into – I'm a second-generation Realtor. Growing up in Seattle, I was surrounded by the business. My father owned Balzotti Real Estate, and later, my stepfather owned John L. Scott Monroe. I moved to Bellingham in 2000 for college and began my real estate career at John L. Scott Bellingham in April 2003. Since then, I've dedicated myself to growing both personally and professionally, striving to provide the absolute best service possible. My approach is positive and energetic; I'm a cheerful and driven advocate for my clients' needs. Since 2019, I've proudly owned John L. Scott Real Estate Bellingham, and in January 2023, I became co-owner of John L. Scott Anacortes. While continuing to help clients buy and sell homes, I also dedicate time to supporting and leading the brokers who partner with John L. Scott Bellingham and Anacortes.

Seller review
Great to work with!  I would highly recommend Paul.

Great to work with! I would highly recommend Paul.

This was the second time using Paul to help us sell a house. He is very easy to communicate with. Paul had a good marketing strategy, the house was staged and open houses were planned and carried out. He has a very good knowledge of the market. Both times he helped us price the house so we got fair offers right away. He isn't the kind of realtor that prices high and then has to lower the price to get offers. I appreciate that. The house had some issues that were revealed in the inspection. Paul helped us work through the issues and with his experience and connections kept the sale moving forward. He was very helpful through the whole process. I would highly recommend Paul if you are selling or buying.

Trustworthy and goes above and beyond.

Paul has worked with my family for over 20 years when he helped my dad buy his first house and now things have come full circle and he helped my wife and I buy our first home together. He has also gone above and beyond, helping us negotiate the price down by $20k after the price was already reduced by about $15k from when it was initially listed. He has helped with us getting work done around the house by personally hiring people he already knows and has worked with including HVAC, cleaning gutters, redoing caulk and more. Overall I highly recommend Paul and anyone else working with John L. Scott Real Estate!

This was my 4th home sale with Paul

This was my 4th home sale with Paul. He continues to prove he was born for this!! His market knowledge, ability to negotiate and constant communication are second to none! When I needed certain fixes completed quickly... He's literally got a guy for everything! Paul will forever be the realtor I use and recommend!

Paul has experience

Paul has experience

Paul has experience. We had a somewhat complicated sale. Two different owners, and repairs that needed to be completed prior to the sale. Paul helped take care of everything. He helped find contractors, provided financing and hired amazing people to staged the house for pictures. His recommendations ended up getting us way more money for the house than we were expecting. Don't work with you aunt or brother-in-law who just got their real estate license. Hired someone who knows the area and knows what they're doing. Paul helped me buy a house a decade ago, and just helped me sell it. Buy and selling a house is a very stressful experience. Let Paul make it easier for you.
