Have nothing but rave reviews for our experience with Paul Tateo and the Horizons team. He has assisted us in multiple sales of our properties and also with many recent purchases for investment and home living. In particular, 768 Blue Bonnet was quick and easy. Selling it within a day, preventing us from having to have a week or more of showings was a gift. He knows the market, listens to your desires and suggestions and works to get it done. His suggestions of how to show the home well was appreciated. And after the "sale" the work is not complete. He continues to navigate all the way up through the closing and handing over the keys. We felt cared for and can't recommend enough! 2022
Paul has firsthand extensive knowledge of the entire Marco Island real estate market, including detailed historical information leading up to present day sales/values. I actually felt bad for the other realtors in the area as it would take decades of experience just to come close to Paul's wide breadth of knowledge. Very professional, responsive, and experienced throughout the entire process. 2022
My family and I have bought and sold property with Paul for years. Paul is a personable and has great knowledge of the homes properties and area. He has helped me and my family through the years . He has made selling our home a breeze . I would never use another realtor and I highly recommend him, you would not be disappointed and not only is he our Realestate agent he also became a great friend and part of our family. 2021
Paul Tateo went above and beyond as always. We used Paul for the purchase of our first house 8 years ago and the process was so smooth that we wouldnt use anyone else for this one. He was always available and was proactive through out the entire process. His knowledge of real estate is second to none. We never felt pressured or rushed and always trust his advice. Great realtor! 2021
Hes awesome. Truly felt he had our best interest in mind. Knows the Marco real estate market better than all others. I both bought a lot and sold a home through him. Outstanding job from both he and his team. 2021
Pauls experience is invaluable . He anticipates the negotiations and prepared me before they even happened . He knows Marco Island well . He is patience was a plus . I would highly recommend Paul for any real estate need !! 2021
Paul was phenomenal. A real professional who knows his industry inside and out. Wherever we went on the island, people knew him and liked him. More than that, my purchase price was relatively small compared to much larger homes and deals. Paul never once made us feel like not worth his time or too small of a deal to call back. I really appreciated that about him. I have met many other agents in the area and would put Paul at the top of the list. 2020
Paul was a superb realtor! He was knowledgeable and patient with me as I considered multiple home options in Marco. He was conscious of our price points and did not try to oversell us. We were initially looking for a lot to build on, but he came up with a property that had an older home for us to tear down and build new. We highly recommend him! 2020
Paul helped us purchase a piece of investment real estate on Marco Island. Paul's knowledge of the island and rental market helped identify the right property we can enjoy and also successfully market to families visiting Marco Island. 2020

My wife and I have a positive and enjoyable experience with Paul. When we approached Paul in 2019 about the possibility of purchasing a condo in the Naples/Marco area, he took the time to get to know us to get a feel for what we were looking for. He was constantly in communication via phone, email and text. When we would send him properties that we found, he was able to give immediate feedback and was thorough with the information. He was patient with our questions and uncertainties. Paul made us feel like we were the only clients he was working with, and we feel we made a friend that we could turn to even if we have questions that are not even real estate related. 2020
Our experience with Paul Tateo originated from a condo renting debacle we experienced with another rental agency. Paul and Horizon Realty were able to get us into a condominium for the two months we had planned to be in Marco Island. Paul's demeanor is calm and reassuring. He's so wonderfully easy to talk to and work with. He helped us solve our temporary displacement situation swiftly and easily. Having fallen in love with Marco Island and condo living, we reached out to Paul in order to look at some condominiums for sale and learn from him what would be a good fit to meet our vacation home needs. Being a lifelong Marco Island resident and veteran realtor, Paul knows the area and realty market well. He sat down with us to determine what we were looking for in a condo and then put together a tour of various properties that fit our criteria. As we visited units, he provided additional insight about each one. During the process of making an offer, arranging an inspection, acquiring insurance, preparing for the closing, and finally getting the keys to our new place, Paul was readily available to answer questions, contact others, and problem solve. Every aspect of buying our vacation home was a positive one, and that was largely due to Paul. 2020
dealing with Paul Tateo was professional and helpful, with his years of knowledge and experience in the field. he made the experience from looking at multiple areas and residences to offers and closing , a smooth and painless task. If there was a rating higher than 5 stars we would have given it . 2019
I couldn't recommend Paul more highly. He made our first home-buying experience an absolute breeze with his years of experience and local knowledge. He immediately and consistently answered whatever questions we had and provided sound advice and the utmost professionalism throughout the process. Paul made us feel like his most important customers, which I'm sure is how most of his clients feel. Not only is he an excellence realtor, he's a super nice guy who truly wants to get the best result for you and your family, regardless of home price or purchasing power. Go with Paul Tateo, you'll be in the best of hands! 2019
I have worked with Mr. Tateo several times and have always found him to be knowledgeable, efficient, service-oriented, and a good communicator. He is a pleasure to work with. 2019
Paul is the most knowledgeable agent on Marco Island. We was skilled in negotiating our sale with an out of town agent who was not aware of the differences in property values on the various areas of the island. We sold at an excellent price, and quickly. His marketing is excellent, and he also has a great team backing him up (Thanks Pam!). Finally, Paul always worked for us as his clients, instead of rushing to complete a sale just to complete it. We have bought and sold many homes over the years, and by far, Paul Tateo is the most professional real estate agent that we have ever had the privilege to work with. We highly recommend Paul and his team! 2019
My wife and I have worked with Paul and his team over the past 3 years. They helped us manage and rent our unit and when we decided to sell, Paul sold it in 1 week for 95% of our asking price! I highly recommend Paul as a professional and competent Realtor with integrity! 2019
Paul and his office were both professional and responsive to our needs. We highly recommend Paul and look forward to working with him both on the buy and sell side. Bob & Mary Lynn 2019
We were thrilled to have Paul Tateo as our Realtor when selling our home. He started out by coming by to sit with us and went over the entire process. Paul was knowledgeable about the market and helped to get the necessary repairs needed before listing. He was patient with our many questions and responded quickly to every email, text and phone call. Paul gave us excellent advice and got us a great offer in just a couple of weeks. We highly recommend Paul Tateo at Horizons By The Sea Inc and would use him again and again! 2019
Paul was easy and comfortable to work with. He was patient and willingly answered my questions in a timely and thorough fashion. I never felt pressured, manipulated, or just another client. He knew the property I was looking at and offered a few other similar properties. I would highly recommend Paul. 2018
As a former real estate professional myself, I was looking for an agent that would be responsive to my needs. Paul was magnificent, not only during the negotiations, but in covering all the details of inspections, permits, and through to the unique closing procedures mandated by the state of Florida. Whenever I contacted him, he either answered immediately or texted me a time when he was free and would call me back. His knowledge of Marco Island is unsurpassed! 2018
We selected Paul to list our home based on his 40 years of real estate experience on Marco, his record of success, knowledge, integrity, professionalism and counsel. He showed the home numerous times, provided us with potential buyer comments from each showing and provided us a contract within 90 days. The process went smoothly from listing to closing. We would highly recommend Paul to anyone buying or selling real estate on Marco. 2018
Paul was excellent; I would highly recommend his services. Knowledgeable & responsive. He offered great advice throughout the process and really seemed to use what would be in our best interests to guide us through the sale of our property. 2018
