Paulo is an excellent realtor—honestly the best we have ever worked with. After we had been searching for a home in Laguna on our own for a couple of years, we began working with Paulo. We came into town for only two weeks and, due to his preparation, patience, and deep knowledge of the market, we found our dream home among a set of impressive options. He was spot on with his data-driven pricing analysis and led negotiations with total confidence. Once the escrow process started, he provided full concierge-level service—scheduling every inspector, pulling in contractors, and recommending legal and insurance experts. He handled all the heavy lifting, and it was clear we were in the hands of a pro who was looking out for our best interests. Beyond his professionalism, Paulo is a great person and fun to work with. He gave us total peace of mind in making a huge financial decision."

Working with Tara on selling our home was the best decision my wife and I could have ever made. Tara takes the time to understand you as a person and the property she is dealing with. She asked all the right questions and was never afraid to go above and beyond for us. She turned what can be a stressful and daunting experience into one I would do a thousand times over with her at the helm. I highly recommend Tara for the buying or selling of your home. You will thank me later.

Working with Tara was such a blessing. She is an incredible realtor. She guided us through every step of selling our home with confidence, knowledge, and so much care. Her attention to detail and dedication made the entire process smooth and stress-free. We always felt like we were in the best hands. We’re so grateful for her and would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat!

I worked with Tara on the purchase of home for my mother. She was extremely responsive, and knowledgeable. I completely trusted her when I asked her a question about anything with the contracts and or the process. It made a big difference, knowing that Tara was on my side and helped me through the whole purchasing process. It is clear that she has a lot of experience and knows how to deal with every aspect of purchasing a home. I’m extremely grateful and I would definitely recommend her to my friends and family.

The very best real estate experience I have ever had. Mike, Sylvia, Tara, and Andrew, each individually and as a team, embody the true essence and somewhat lost art of luxury real estate. In a place like Laguna, there is so much that goes into the purchase of a home, from location-specific knowledge to significant logistical support during the transaction, and they expertly navigated every aspect for our family. Their attention to detail and full scope of service exceeded my high expectations, as throughout the process they were swift to tackle literally anything that came up. I have tremendous respect for them as individuals and professionals, and I look forward to having them as friends as well. A huge thank you and a sincere endorsement from our family for Alcove Collective/ the Mike Johnson Group.
