About Paul Gibson

WHY THE GULF COAST?

There comes a point in one's life when it is time to live where you want to live, rather than where you must live.  As Paul´s last daughter entered college, he decided it was time for a lifestyle change.  Cold, icy, snowy winters become less acceptable as one matures.  Paul has always loved the beach and decided the Gulf lifestyle best met his criteria for a warm, sunny outdoor lifestyle all year.  He has lived in Clearwater Beach and Sand Key for 20 years and is an expert on neighborhood.  He is now enjoying the waterfront life style all year, including boating, fishing and just walking the beautiful White Sands of Clearwater Beach.
 

PAUL'S EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE

Paul studied finance and accounting at Bentley University in Waltham, Massachusetts, graduating with a Bachelors in Accounting in 1980.  He served in various financial executive positions with Fortune 500 companies in the Northeast and Midwest over the next 25 years.  He was founder and CEO of a real estate development company in Minnesota for several years, where he was responsible for land acquisition, zoning, construction, and sales and marketing activities for luxury waterfront homes.

Paul has been a professional residential real estate investor for over 30 years.  He is a member of the RE/MAX Chairman's Club for 2004, 2005, 2007 and 2015, the Platinum Club for 2006, 2008, 2010, 2013, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019, and the 100% Club in 2003, 2009, 2011 and 2012, placing him in the Top 1% of RE/MAX Agents with over $250 million in sales.  He was ranked RE/MAX's #7 Realtor in the State of Florida in 2007, and #11 in 2010.  Paul was also the #2 Realtor in our market for 2014 and #5 in 2015.

PAUL'S COMMUNITY SERVICE

Paul believes in community service and was elected as a Clearwater City Councilmember in 2007 and again in 2010, serving a total of seven (7) years including three (3) years where his colleagues elected him Vice Mayor.  Paul has always believed in civic responsibility and has felt that Term Limits facilitated the election of citizen legislators, as our founding fathers intended.  He relinquished his seat on March 24, 2014 in accordance with the City Charter.   

 

The Tampa Bay Times published his final interview as an elected official shortly before he left office.   He believes the City of Clearwater has come a long way the past seven (7) years.  The City improved its investment grade credit rating to AA- during his tenure.  He departs knowing we have a strong Mayor and City Council to continue the good work accomplished during his two (2) terms.

WHY USE PAUL AS YOUR REALTOR?

A Realtor works with buyers to develop their selection criteria and to identify all properties that meet that criteria.  Paul will negotiate the sale price and other terms and conditions important to you.  He will also ensure that buyers purchase their property with the best price, and terms and conditions available.

A Realtor can minimize the inconvenience that sellers experience while selling their property.  Realtors provide invaluable expertise and experience by representing you in the preparation of your property for sale, pricing, marketing, negotiating and entering into a sales contract and closing the sale.  Paul will assist you in selling your property for the highest price, in the shortest period of time, under favorable terms and conditions.

Paul can be counted on to aggressively represent your interests, whether you are a buyer or a seller.  His finance and real estate law background, Fortune 500 experience, management of a real estate development company, understanding of the City of Clearwater's zoning and land use regulations, and real estate sales experience in the waterfront markets ensure that he has the skills and experience to represent your interests, whether you are a buyer or seller.  Paul will personally handle your waterfront listing or purchase.  You will not be passed on to another real estate agent or assistant.  Ask him for references!
