Paul West

Born in San Antonio, Texas, I made the move to Raleigh, North Carolina in 2001 and have spent that time in the world of Real Estate in one form or another, exploring its many facets. My passion for property was sparked by my father, who was both an elementary school principal and a small-scale Real Estate Investor. Together, we scouted for houses, carried out renovations to add value, and successfully sold them. The memories of working alongside him are truly cherished.

After moving to Raleigh, I furthered my education by earning a Paralegal Certificate from UNC Chapel Hill. I began my professional journey working as a Real Estate Paralegal and continued until 2006. With the promise of my second daughter, I adapted to market changes and ventured into employment with a friend to pay the bills and establish a successful Handyman Business of my own to satisfy my need to be in residential real estate. By 2014, this venture had grown into a full-time occupation. In 2015, I transitioned back to Real Estate closings and later found a role at SoftPro as a Trust Account Reconciler. As a real estate paralegal I have been through countless closings and have personally bought 3 houses and sold 2.

The birth of my son in 2022 signified a significant shift in my life, which naturally led to the subsequent decision to get a real estate license. Presently settled in Cary, I find joy in engaging in activities like golf, prioritizing a healthy lifestyle, and crafting enduring memories with my family, frequently including my wife’s parents. Parenthood has proven to be an incredible adventure, one that I embrace wholeheartedly alongside my amazing wife, fantastic son and three incredible daughters.
