About Paul: Paul has had a passion for real estate since he was small. His mother always said that he came inside the house after a long day outside with half the real estate in the neighborhood stained on his clothes. So now you know, this is how it all began. With 26 years of advertising agency experience and another 22 since he bought his first investment property, Paul has grown a thriving real estate practice. His disciplines include residential, commercial and investment real estate in many areas of the country and of course the main focus, North and South Carolina. He has used his years of advertising to also help his clients, learn, sell and evaluate the creative side of the real estate market. Paul is also host of a weekly radio show “Your Real Estate today” Where he brings to his listeners the opportunity to learn about different opportunities and sheds the light on the positive news that our market and country lack today. “I love what I do” Paul says. We are so blessed to be in not just this area, but in this country.” The opportunities in real estate we have today… will not come along again in our lifetime” is what he believes.

Just ask him.

Favorite Quote :

“Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up, it knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve. It doesn’t matter whether you’re the lion or a gazelle-when the sun comes up, you’d better be running.”

Fox Inspection Group was founded in 1989 by Gordon and Lesley Fox. From its humble beginning as a single inspector company, it has expanded over the years and now is comprised of multiple inspectors and office staff. Since we now also provide Wood Destroying Insect Inspections, Swimming Pool Inspections, and HVAC Inspections, we have updated our name to Fox Residential Services Group.

The success of this company is due mainly to following a simple philosophy about real estate: we put ourselves in the home buyers’ shoes and treat them like family. Because we adhere to this policy at all times the majority of our clients are past clients, their family members, close friends, or associates of theirs. Many of our clients are Realtors, their family, or close friends.
