About Paul

Originally licensed in 1989, I embarked on a career in real estate in the early 1990s after a working in the residential and commercial construction industry in San Diego for 7 years. I began my first year in real estate doing a short stint in residential property management. I quickly discovered my passion was geared more towards the real estate sales end of the industry. In 1994, I went to work for a top producing Real Estate Broker in Encinitas. I soon found myself managing the day to day details of an extremely busy and successful real estate sales business. In 1997-98, I moved on to a similar opportunity in Rancho Santa Fe doing same (managing the marketing, listings, showings, contracts, and transaction coordination) for two of the top Brokers in San Diego County. Once I gained the valuable first hand working knowledge of the always changing dynamics of the real estate sales business, I hit the pavement on my own. It was 1999 and with the local real estate market growing rapidly, I was excited to put the experience and skills acquired during those prior 5 years to work. Having personally sold and/or supervised upwards of 330 real estate transactions I enjoy the fast paced nature that the real estate business offers. Through the years of experience I have gained the innate tools to put together even the most complex and difficult deals. Building strong relationships with integrity and trust is my personal philosophy. I believe this is critical in getting to the finish line successfully in even the most difficult transactions. Many of my clients have become both repeat customers and trusted friends.

Paul made it easy!

Paul went above and beyond for us! We had the smoothest possible experience, and ended up with the perfect house for our family. It would not have happened without him. Paul is always friendly, makes himself readily available, and facilitates the many moving parts of the offering and buying operations with ease. He found us an opportunity, got us a tour, and helped us make an offer that was accepted all within a few days, then made sure that the rest of the process went as smoothly as possible. We are super grateful for Paul, and would recommend him to anyone!

Paul Tornillo did an outstanding job in handling the sale of my home. He was easy to work with and very professional from our first meeting all the way to closing. Paul answered all my questions promptly and solved any issue I had quickly. He was very easy to work with and his knowledge of the process was exceptional. Paul’s honestly, integrity and experience were top notch. He helped me navigate the entire process and made it a very smooth experience. I recommend him highly. Michelle Williams

What a blessing Paul was to our family through our entire relocation process

What a blessing Paul was to our family through our entire relocation process. Moving from a completely different area was challenging for us as we didn't really know where to start with our search. His local knowledge, market insight and financial acumen were instrumental in us making the right decisions as we navigated through the process. His approach is gentle and thorough. We never felt pressure from him to make a decision in haste. Rather, he helped us to explore all angles and perspectives in order to make a wise decision but also not miss out on potential opportunities. Highly recommend his services to anyone in need.

Paul was excellent in all aspects of the sale of my mother’s property

Paul was excellent in all aspects of the sale of my mother’s property. From preparing the house for sale, to all other servicing aspects until closing, he had our best interests in mind. He advised us on price and market conditions that clearly proved he had his finger on the pulse of the market.Paul dealt with multiple offers in a fashion that only an experienced and seasoned professional could, which led to a very smooth and successful closing. We could not speak more highly of him. He was focused from the beginning which truly placed our minds at ease. We would recommend Paul to anyone looking for not just an experienced Realtor, but also a highly qualified real estate counselor.Thank you Paul!

Paul accepted the request to both list and sell my investment property in San Diego

Paul accepted the request to both list and sell my investment property in San Diego. We easily negotiated fair terms for both myself and his company and he went to work taking photographs and doing due diligence as the value of the property and its best selling features.Within 2 weeks we mutually agreed to lower the price somewhat as I was anxious to sell. Immediately, we received an offer form a well qualified buyer.There were several modifications to the offer and the buyer demanded several improvements which were professionally and thoughtfully negotiated by Paul in order to ensure that the buyer and myself were satisfied. Interestingly, the escrow closed when Paul told me it would and I received my proceeds promptly. I chose Paul because of his high ethics and willing to work hard to ensure a mutually satisfying transaction. This proved to be true and I am satisfied with the result.Good job, Mr. Tornillo!
