My association with Paula Stout at Suncoast began in 2020. I've been her client ever since. In the beginning she was my agent for multi-month winter rentals. I have written reviews about her "always being there" if there were a problem during our a rental. Thing is: There never were problems; her properties are first class. Enough about rentals. On to my search to buy a condo. During the years of rentals with Suncoast and Paula Stout, I was, here and there, asking her to show me condos for sale. I was asking this during our rental time every winter season. She would always agree to show me properties. This went on for five (5) years. She never said no, always checked out listings, showed us the properties, etc. I wondered, though, if she thought: this client will never buy anything! Seems she did not care; she always gave us her full attention. After our winter rental season, in spring, she would also show my daughter in Florida available properties, long-distance to me, if I asked her to look at something. She never balked at anything we asked. Fast Forward. Months into this year, Paula Stout was, again here and there, helping us check out condos, as we asked. Then my--just 2 months ago-- family emergency happened. I needed in Florida a condo now, right now, with individual, particular, special accommodations. And not my usual search of our "utopian" retirement. She came through, found a place right away for us now. I've settled already. We will again call upon Suncoast when we ask for that "utopia" and I'm sure she will find that too.

Paula negotiated a contract that we ratified in 24 hours!

My wife and I wanted to buy a property out of state and knew the challenges this could create. Paula absolutely removed any concerns we had with doing this real estate transaction. Paula's understanding of the market in the areas we were looking at was unsurpassed. From the first time we talked on the phone to the closing, Paula was always immediately available and was usually a step or two ahead of us. As this will be a rental property, having Paula's knowledge and property management options made this one of the most enjoyable real estate transactions I have ever experienced. What started out as a inquiry initial phone call has turned into an amazing professional relationship and friendship. If you are considering any type of real estate transaction do yourselves a favor and give Paula a call. You can thank us later!

Paula has an extensive market knowledge of the area. She was fully dedicated to support our needs. The combination knowledge and care is what we appreciated the most.

Have known Paula for more than 10 years as our rental agent. She was always a huge help and did more than just rent our condo for us. For instance, she relocated a long-term tenant when a downspout burst. During our years of renting, Paula kept us posted on what was happening and also took care of all matters pertaining to the property. When it came time to sell the condo, since we have had 10 years of positive experiences with Paula, we turned to her for help. And she did a fantastic job! The pricing, listing, photographing the unit, arranging showings with a tenant in place, interfacing with the buyer's realtor, connecting with the HOA, and arranging for the settlement - Paula handled everything well. We always felt as though we were informed. And when we had questions, which we did have many, Paula was always patient and knowledgeable. 100% Satisfied! I'm sure you'll feel the same way, too! Great job, Paula, and thanks again! You are the best!

Paula Stout was a great partner from the time my wife and I purchased a Condo in the Saint Petersburg area. She help every month to keep the property rented and with any issues that came up. She was always there. When we did decide to list, our property for sale she was magnificent. We sold our property is a short time and at a great price. I would use her again if I ever needed someone in the Saint Petersburg area.
