In 2025, he was recognized as the top agent in total sales within his local Board of Realtors MLS, further solidifying his position as one of the area’s leading real estate professionals.
Paul and his team specialize in a full spectrum of real estate services, including residential homes, luxury properties, estates, farms and acreage, land sales, commercial real estate, new construction, investment properties, and relocation services. Whether working with first-time buyers, legacy property owners, or high-net-worth clients, Paul delivers strategic guidance, market insight, and results-driven representation.
Based in Lewisburg, West Virginia, Paul’s market expertise spans Greenbrier County and extends throughout surrounding counties and key markets across Southeastern West Virginia, including Monroe County, Pocahontas County, Summers County, Raleigh County, Fayette County, and Nicholas County. He regularly serves clients in Lewisburg, White Sulphur Springs, Ronceverte, Alderson, Fairlea, Rupert, Rainelle, Beckley, and Fayetteville, as well as rural and resort communities throughout the region.
Paul has extensive experience representing buyers and sellers in some of the area’s most prestigious communities, including The Greenbrier Sporting Club, Greenbrier Legacy Club, and other luxury, golf, and resort-style developments surrounding The Greenbrier. His knowledge of these markets makes him a go-to resource for second homes, vacation properties, and legacy estates in West Virginia.
As a member of the Institute for Luxury Home Marketing and a graduate of the Certified Auctioneer Institute, Paul brings specialized expertise in luxury real estate marketing, land sales, and auction services. His background includes a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Policy and Planning and a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from Virginia Tech, supporting his deep understanding of land use, development potential, and long-term property value.
