Paul Stalker - Long & Foster

Real Estate Agents, Property Management

About us

Hello, my name is Paul Stalker and thank you for visiting my profile. In this section I will tell you more about myself and how I can assist you with your Howard County, Maryland real estate needs and beyond! Even though I primary live in Howard County and do business in its cities which consist of Columbia, Ellicott City, Elkridge, Clarksville, etc. – I've often worked in parts of Anne Arundel County and Carroll County. I moved to Howard County, Maryland in 1980 with my family and settled in Jessup. We lived in the neighborhood of Huntington and were a part of a newly growing city of Columbia, Maryland. The city of Columbia and much of Howard County has changed quite a bit since then. But many things still remain the same such as, Howard County's unique mix of urban and rural appeal – which is one of many things I've always loved about this county. You get some country living with city life. It is an active community, there are countless parks and activities, free recycling, and it's in a central area too – close to D.C., Baltimore, and Annapolis. I've attended elementary, middle, and high school in Howard County and I know first hand why the school system has such a great reputation. I also attended the University of Maryland, College Park. Being an entrepreneur was something that always seemed to fit, so following college I embarked on many ventures including owning a local liquor store, a home improvement trade company, and even offered personal training consultancy services. After investing in several rental properties and experiencing some less than excellent service from fellow Realtors I decided to obtain my license and throw my hat in the ring. After becoming a Realtor I made a promise to myself that I would be the Real Estate Agent that I never had. I will always be honest and put my client's needs ahead of my own.

Paul is easy to work with and is very knowledgeable about buying and selling. He is quite helpful giving tips on how to get your property sold and points out things you should be aware of when looking at other properties. Paul stays on top of you so that everything stays on schedule. We changed our mind about selling our house 3 times since 2011 and Paul still always stayed engaged, giving advice on keeping our property up and letting us know he would be there when we were ready. He will work hard for you!
Description of Work: Paul represented us in selling our home and buying another.

This was a smooth transaction thanks to Paul's expert marketing strategy and top notch negotiating skills. Paul sold my home lightning fast and kept me in the loop at every step of the process. He is one of a kind and is truly dedicated to providing superior service. He covers all the bases and is always happy to share his real estate knowledge. You will not find a better agent and he will easily become your agent for life.

Paul did a fantastic job of listing and selling my townhouse. His great energy and work ethic, along with his friendly professionalism and sense of humor, were exactly what was needed to successfully navigate the process as a couple issues (related to the buyer's financing and paperwork) arose along the way. The mark of a great professional is how he or she handles the situations when difficulties appear, not just the times when everything goes smoothly. To that end, I am very appreciative of Paul's upfront and honest approach. Not only was he always responsive and knowledgeable but, better still, he took the initiative to keep me and others informed and up-to-date at every step of the process. In addition, he graciously helped out with maintaining the physical property as we approached the settlement. I believe my transaction would have been severely delayed, if not derailed, had it not been for Paul's dedication and attention to detail. It was a pleasure working with Paul on the sale, the service he provided was top-notch, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to others!

It is hard to imagine a better agent than Paul Stalker. We were thoroughly impressed with Paul's market knowledge, expertise, negotiating skills and responsiveness. He guided us through the complicated process of selling our home and buying a new one with patience, professionalism and his cheerful, positive attitude made a difficult process seem almost easy. He was available 24/7 - no detail was too small, no problem one that could not be solved and every recommendation he made was the right one. He also has a well-developed network of professionals that quickly helped us get our home ready to show, produced a fantastic brochure and ensured that there would be no surprises on either the selling or buying contracts. Bottom line - we sold our house for full price in 4 days and he helped us negotiate a significant discount on our new house. We personally enjoyed our interactions with him and would highly recommend him to anyone considering buying and/or selling their house.

It went really well, Paul is very knowledgeable and looks out for your best interest. We were newcomer to the home buying and shopping process, and Paul did a great job of explaining the process to us in great detail, as well as answering any questions we had promptly and patiently.

“We used Paul to purchase a couple of rental properties in Howard County. His knowledge of Howard County was incredible. He knew exactly where the desirable rentals are and also found us tenants right away. We have since referred 2 friends & 2 family members and they have had the same positive experience. I will definitely use Paul for any future real estate transactions.”

Paul Stalker is an excellent real estate agent. My Mom had to leave her home in Ellicott City due to a health issue and I needed to sell the property as quickly as possible for a reasonable price. Having bought and sold several homes over the years, I sought out an agent that had grown up in the Ellicott City area, had around ten years (or more) experience as a realtor full-time, and had lots of good reviews online. After meeting with Paul, I was convinced that he was a winner and I was proven correct. Although my Mom had taken very good care of her home, there were numerous issues that needed to be addressed. Paul was extremely helpful with advice as well as recommending quality contractors to provide necessary repairs and upgrades. The house was difficult to price since it was the only one like it in the neighborhood, yet Paul's analysis and forecast were right on target. His knowledge of contract law is excellent and he is also quite personable. Seriously doubt that you can find someone better!
