Testimonials

They say it takes a village which, in my case, it did. I live outside of the area and had re-connected with Gary and Suzanne to place my cabin on the market. They were my real estate agents when I bought this “little red cabin on the hill”. Four years later, I decided to sell. They immediately jumped in, and my cabin was on the market within days and sold within a few weeks. It was seamless. My sister lives close to my cabin and worked closely with Gary/Suzanne to get things done. We would have calls at night, after hours, to discuss next steps. I never lost a wink of sleep knowing that Gary/Suzanne were in charge. They are definitely a dynamic duo!

Rosie Casella - San Francisco 2023 - Arnold (Lakemont Pines)

Gary and Suzanne were great to work with. They met all our criteria for purchasing a mountain cabin. They took the time to show us and explain certain neighborhoods and homes. Additionally, giving us great detail and history about the area. We recommend Team Paris for anyone looking to purchase a home in Calaveras county.

Darren & Donna Taniguchi - Sabastopol 2023 - Camp Connell (Big Trees Village)

Gary & Suzanne came highly recommended to us by our neighbors and we were thrilled working with such responsive, knowledgeable and truly honest agents. They were extremely patient with our more than year long process of trying to find the right vacation home in Arnold, showing us a number of homes, previewing many beforehand and steering us away from properties they knew were not a good fit for our needs. The Paris's were an absolute pleasure to work with and made the buying process a breeze, I would highly recommend Gary & Suzanne for your Real Estate needs!

Vincent & Jessica Randazzo - San Rafael 2022 - Arnold (Blue Lake Springs)

Great communication, easy to work with and friendly too! Gary was very helpful in explaining all phases of our lot purchase and addressed all our concerns promptly. From HOA to Utilities and even the lot clearing, Gary was involved and made sure things were taken care of. We would highly recommend working with Gary and his team.

Kevin & Kelli Cantrell - out of state 2022 - Arnold (Blue Lake Springs)

Gary and  Suzanne are just absolutely a dream to work with!  They were wonderful in showing us the various area and community choices.  Explaining to us the pros and cons of each and holding our hand throughout the entire purchase process.  Both are just wonderful people and really wonderful to work with.  If you are looking for a home in the  Arnold area, I highly recommend you contact them.  They treat you like family, with guidance, generosity and patience!!

Joshua & Josfa Allmen - San Jose 2022 - Murphys (Forest Meadows)

Suzanne & Gary provided the help we needed from afar. We were out of state for most of the transaction and Suzanne came in and staged the place to make it beautiful and inviting. Gary was our eyes and ears, communicating any issues that existed that we couldn't see being out of the area. They are truly a team and made our sale smooth and convenient. We are thankful for their extensive knowledge of the area and ease to work with.

Erik & Tina  Dietrich - Liberty Lake, WA 2022 - Dorrington (Big Trees Village)

I listed my townhouse with Gary and Suzanne. What a team. I can not say enough good about them. They were in continuous communication with me. They took care of minor stuff that needed to be done, e.g. they put in a smoke alarm in the unit with their own money, and brought in contractors to do minor fixes. They complement each other really well. Gary’s Italian character matched well with my emotional personality while Suzanne provided the level headedness needed to get us through the process. If I was in the market, I would definitely go with them again.

Ali & Parivash - Davis 2022 - Arnold (Mill Woods)

From the first phone call and meeting we felt very comfortable and confident that they would help us sell our family home for the best price with the least amount of headaches. They were in constant contact via email and coordinated all repairs that were needed in a timely manner.Our sale went very smoothly and we were not disappointed. Would highly recommend them as your real estate agent.

Jeffery & Terri McKannay - Discovery Bay 2022 - Camp Connell (Big Trees Village)

Gary and Susanne helped us find and purchase our new home in Arnold. Their understanding of the local market and many years in the industry made the process easy. Once our offer was accepted, they helped us sell our current cabin. Knowing the current trends of the area helped us price our cabin for a quick sale, and for more money than we expected. We appreciated their honest approach. After our sale, they were a great resource for vendors to help our transition into our new home. We highly recommend you use Gary and Susanne Paris as your realtor.

Steve & Karen Stamos - San Carlos 2020 - Arnold (Blue Lake Springs)

We highly recommend Team Paris to both new buyers and sellers for who looking the best real estate service in the Arnold mountain area. We were able to experience both sides a buyer in 2016 and now as a seller in 2021. They services were excellent, made us feel very comfortable and in very good hands through the process. Suzanne was in charge of marketing our property and had great ideas on how to present your home entirely, along with her inapt for her photo presentation staging design was beautiful. Suzanne was a pleasure to work with. Gary was our realtor for processing the sales and contract documents for the sale of our property from start to finish. It was very easy to work with him. He answered all of our questions and walked with us throughout the entire process of selling our home and was very easy to communicate with. Gary was very familiar with the area and local comps/stats. He was on top of everything and keep updated of all changes and negotiations between seller/buyer, as well as the title company/regulatory agencies requirements thru out the closing escrow process. It was a pleasure to work with Gary. Thank you for all of your services.- Rey and Char

Rey & Char Mojica - 2020 - Dorrington (The Country Houses)

We recently sold our home through Gary and Suzanne Paris. They really new their market and just how to list our property for the highest market bearing price. They took expert photos that showed our property in it's best light. Their ability to secure contractors for minor repairs made the process a breeze. They were accessible and available 7 days a week.i We sold our home within the week of listing and could not be happier.                                                       Dale & Hillary Beecher - Lodi 2020 - Camp Connell (Big Trees Village)

Gary and Suzanne Paris helped us to sell our cabin, as we were out of state. Developing a sense of trust was important to me. I found we quickly developed a great working rapport. They always kept me updated…their communication was excellent. We worked great together as a team and got our cabin sold. I highly recommend Gary and Suzanne if you are looking to buy or sell property in the Arnold area.                                                                                            Sue Size - Oregon 2020 - Dorrington (Big Trees Village)

WOW! They say " Third times the charm".. This was the third time we used Gary and Suzanne. When we called them and told them that we wanted to sell our cabin and that we needed to list it quickly, they went and cancelled their planned vacation so that they could meet with us and get it on the market as soon as possible. They don't mess around , they know the values and the area and what needs to be done to make it stand out and sell. Our first cabin they sold in about a week, this one was sold in just a few days. They don't treat you like a number but like a friend, by giving personal service and constant updates to keep you informed of what's going on. They are true professionals and experts in the real-estate market!                                                                                                                Joe & Kim King - Ripon 2020 - Dorrington (Big Trees Village)

Gary and Suzanne sold our vacation home in four days with multiple offers. They were very knowledgeable and helpful in dealing with what seemed like unending paperwork. They even returned our Comcast equipment for us. We highly recommend Team Paris and would certainly use them again if given the opportunity                                               Bill & Mary Davidson - San Carlos 2020 - Arnold (Lakemont Pines)

Gary and Suzanne Paris of Cedar Creek Realty really went out of their way to help and were amazing in working with us to find our vacation home. They both bring to the table very unique skills that complement each other. Gary provided us with trusted advice and key inspection services that were crucial to us in buying an older house. He has great local knowledge and was incredibly responsive even at off hours. I feel like Suzanne really listened and understood what I was looking for in a house that would become our home. Once I described layout, kitchen and overall possible uses of space she really helped us weed through the inventory to make a quick and efficient decision. She also went out of her way to help us with additional services above and beyond anything a realtor would be expected to do - procuring furniture, cleaning services, handyman services, etc. We are so incredibly happy with our new house and are quickly making it a wonderful home for our family.                                                                                                   Andres Tubley & Mae Umbriac - San Francisco 2020 - Arnold (Blue Lake Springs)

Don't hesitate - Team Paris, the first real estate professionals we contacted, helped us find our "Dream Home," even though we were out of state and over 600 miles away. Their knowledge of the area and diligent effort to understand our needs was crucial in finding the right home. Once we found our "Dream Home," their expertise from crafting an acceptable offer to facilitating the the rest of the transaction ensured a seamless and early closing. And even after closing, Gary and Suzanne have on several occasions gone above and beyond to help us settle into our new home and community. We will be forever grateful. If you're considering Team Paris, please don't hesitate - you're getting the best!                                                                                                                                                Charles & Cindy Haynes - Oregon 2020 - Arnold (Meadowmont)

Gary sold our vacation home for us last month. Though a cute little place, it was tricky to market for a variety of reasons. He stuck with it and made a point of keeping us always informed about the situation. When the right buyer came along, the sale went super-smoothly. I cannot recommend him highly enough.                                                       Brad & Pam Madix - Walnut Creek 2020 - Dorrington (Big Trees Village)

We cannot recommend Gary too highly. He had a crew of reliable people, including Suzanne Paris, who helped us get our home in condition to obtain a good offer. He helped us navigate through the numerous incomprehensible forms involved in the listing and sale. He was always available to us and we relied upon his advice.                                               Mike Wald & Lynne Ingalls - Seattle 2020 - Camp Connell (Big Trees Village) Seller

Gary and Suzanne Paris were fantastic to deal with during my house search and ultimate purchase. They provided great insight into the surroundings neighborhoods and shared local insights to consider when looking at the homes. They were by my side throughout the entire process and provide great local referrals to help get me settled in. Even after closing they have been a tremendous resource. I highly recommend Team Paris as your agent for Calaveras County. You cannot go wrong.                                                                                                                                             Dawn Benson - Half Moon Bay 2020 - Murphys (Forest Meadows) Buyer

We really lucked out when our first real estate contact in Arnold was with Team Paris! The day had finally come when my husband and I decided to get serious about buying a mountain home, something we have always wanted to do. We already had a list of cabins in Arnold we had found online. A phone call by my husband to Gary and talking over our interests and the addresses of the cabins resulted in a lightning fast appt. for viewings. Both Gary and Suzanne were a pleasure to meet and are consummate professionals. Very friendly and fun and pleasant to talk to and high energy, but the good kind! They both had great tips for us on all the different cabin enclaves. They knew all about climate, shade and sun in the different areas, as well as the local businesses we would need. We got an interesting tour of the Arnold area that first day, with plenty of local history and important tips on mountain life. After looking at a few cabins that first day, the pluses and minuses of each, we started to refine our search mentally with their help. We revamped our list of interesting possibilities and arranged our second visit to the area. The Paris's had a couple of properties to show us too which was good because we really learned what our priorities were. They were able to schedule the cabin's in the perfect order in my opinion. Because of Gary and Suzanne's perception and knowledge, we found the cabin that spoke to us on that second viewing day, it was the last house on our list! I think we looked at maybe 7 or 8 cabins in total before we found the one! No endless tours and disappointments. They were expert in their advice that day and advised us to go home and think about if we want to make an offer. They were not pushy at all. They said to just give them a call with our thoughts and questions. When we decided to make the offer, Gary and Suzanne literally made it happen overnight because we knew we wanted that cabin and did not want to lose it to any other buyers! The offer was discussed and written and presented less than 24 hours later! Offer accepted and then the real work began for the Paris's. The negotiating and arranging inspections.... luckily, they knew what they were doing and had things rolling fast with the right people. I had a couple of areas that I wanted to be inspected further around the property, and they were very patient and respectful of my concerns and helped me get the answers I wanted. All that AND arranging to close escrow earlier than originally agreed! We had constant daily contact with the Paris's regarding all pertinent matters. We never had to worry or wonder what was going on because their communication skills and their dedication to making sure we were ok with everything was amazing. They worked so hard on our behalf and we are so happy with our new home! We feel lucky to have found Gary and Suzanne Paris, and we will count them as new friends in the area as well as our real estate agents!                                                                                                                                    Mike & Stephanie Fisher - Alameda 2020 - Dorrington (Big Trees Village) Buyer

I listed with Team Paris because of their marketing plan and experience. Suzanne is excellent at staging and photographing homes and was just perfect at making my home look like the castle I always thought it was! Gary and I had a couple of differences in the beginning, but he really came through during the inspection negotiations and worked overtime to get the escrow closed within my time frame. I would highly recommend the Team Paris to anyone looking to sell or buy a home in our beautiful mountain community!                                                                                                                           James Boyer - Oregon 2019 - Arnold (Meadowmont) Seller

Gary and his wife Suzanne were amazing to work with in the purchase of our vacation home in Arnold. They knew the area extremely well and shared local wisdom with us that we had not even considered, such as driveway slopes in the snow and the best local tradesmen to work with. (They have all been stellar.) Our buying experience was great, and we felt well represented, despite being over 100 miles away. Even little details like unique inspections one should do when buying a vacation home in the rural mountains (e.g. arborist inspection) they were on top of. I think the most impressive thing we have experienced since we purchased our home is that their services do not stop when the deal is done. Gary sends out newsletters to their clients with helpful hints (such as winterizing) and local events worth checking out. In my case, I had an emergency delivery that I was out of town for...but Gary was there to help, signed for my delivery, and made sure things were taken care of. There are not too many realtors I know that would do that at a moment's notice. Now that is customer service...and that is why I highly recommend Gary and Suzanne Paris, or as they like to be called, "Team Paris"!                                                                                                                                 Shawn & Robyn White - Redwood City 2019 - Arnold (Meadowmont) Buyer

Gary and Suzanne helped us sell our vacation home in Arnold. They kept us informed as to what was happening and what to expect next. Their availability to answer phone calls and questions throughout the process was second to none. And most importantly their local knowledge and network of agents they know helped us to sell our home for well over our asking price! I highly recommend their services. Thanks again Gary and Suzanne!                                    Sean & Ashley Grech - Pleasant Hill 2019 - Arnold (Blue Lake Springs) Seller

Gary and Susanna were awesome. We were recommended to them thru Cedar Creek Reality when it came time for us to buy our vacation home. They were nothing but courteous, professional, accommodating and knowledgeable. Throughout our home buying process, they kept us informed on what was happening. Also, gave us a reference book about “things to do” and “who to call for what,” extremely helpful since we do not live in the area. I cannot day enough nice things about “Team Paris”. I promise you will not be disappointed working with them.                                                              Joseph & Marissa Ojeda - Hollister 2019 - Arnold (Lakemont Pines) Buyer

I can honestly say that team Paris did an outstanding job in the purchase of our home in Arnold. We found the house on Zillow and contacted the selling agent Gary Paris. I asked to see the house and Gary said come on up and I will have several houses for you to look at. Gary was truly knowledgeable of the area and helped us decide on the right home for us. Gary went beyond our expectations as a realtor and was able negotiated a fair deal for us. I would highly recommend Gary Paris and his team for your real estate needs.                                                                       Garry & Yolanda DeVore - Modesto 2019 - Arnold (Meadowmont) Buyer

We selected Gary and Suzanne to sell our house in Arnold as we felt that, as a team, they provided the best of both worlds - Suzanne on marketing and Gary on contract negotiations. They were also very familiar with our market. Throughout the process they kept us fully informed, were honest and truthful with us, and stuck with us as we moved through the sometimes-complicated sales process. They looked beyond just closing the deal, and always considered our input. The staging and marketing work were excellent. And, perhaps most importantly, we always knew we could trust them to help us make the best decisions.                                                                                                                               Rahn Becker & Pat Gende - Livermore 2018 - Arnold (Lakemont Pines) Seller

Gary and Suzanne are the best persons you can work with to buy a property! They understood what we were looking for right away and had us visiting highly relevant properties. After we had decided, everything went SO smoothly it is hard to believe! They are helpful in every way you can ever imagine for all you need and will need throughout the entire process - and even after. Definitely our utmost recommendation! Gary and Suzanne: "THANK YOU for everything, we will definitely stop by to say hello and keep contact, and you both will be in out thoughts each time we arrive at the cabin - thanks for the lovely sign you offered us which could not be more appropriate!"                                                                              Maxime & Capucine Van  Rechem - Palo Alto 2018 - Dorrington (Big Trees Village) Buyer

We decided to investigate buying a vacation home in Arnold and found Gary through a listing on Zillow. Gary and Suzanne spent a Saturday afternoon showing us numerous places. It didn't take them long to zero in on what we like and they found us a wonderful home. They were great to work with through the sale. We also purchased an adjacent vacant lot and they were great at pushing a less than cooperative selling agent on the lot. Their knowledge of the area has been very helpful. -Eric & Barbara - Sebastopol 2018 - Dorrington (Big Trees Village) Buyer

Gary and Suzanne Paris are the Joe Montana and Dwight Clark of real estate! They took a nearly impossible real estate transaction as I was traveling the hills of Genoa, with very little cell phone service and I was on a strict closing deadline. Suzanne and Gary made it happen....TOUCH DOWN! They were available in all time zones, 24 hours a day. My sister purchased a cabin with Gary and Suzanne in 2016...they are like family. By the Casella "twins".  -Rosie Casella - San Francisco 2018 Arnold (Lakemont Pines) Buyer

From our first meeting with Gary and Suzanne we knew that we would enjoy working with them to sell our vacation home in Greenhorn Creek, Angels Camp. They were extremely professional in their presentation and yet down to earth and we felt very comfortable entrusting our sale to them. They are knowledgeable about the Calaveras County real estate market. We were so impressed with how expertly they showcased our property to a broad range of online real estate sites and we were very pleasantly surprised when it sold much quicker than we anticipated. Everything went smoothly and we closed escrow on time. We couldn't be happier and we feel as though we have made new friends in Gary and Suzanne. We would highly recommend them as experienced real estate professionals. -John & Sharon - San Ramon 2018 Angels Camp (Greenhorn Creek) Seller

The Paris' are not your average brokerage team. Once you work with them, they will stick with you no matter how long it takes to get the job done. We met the Paris' in 2010. Then, in April of this year, we decided to sell our home in Dorrington. From the get go, they were like a well oiled machine. On Sept. 6 the deal was done....quickly and smoothly. They are great at hand holding when necessary and are well connected in the community. So, if you need any kind of help, they can find the right person! If you want a partner for all your real estate needs we highly recommend Gary and Suzanne. -Eugene & Terry - Novato 2018 Dorrington (Big Trees Village) Seller 

We met Gary and Suzanne by pure fate. Immediately from our first conversation they made us their priority. We met hours after our first phone call and they never stopped working for us since. We have now officially closed on the first property they showed us (that was exactly what we wanted) and they still take my phone calls. They made us feel like family. I couldn't imagine using anyone else. We are renovating the property but when we are done they will be the first people we invite over. Thanks again Gary and Suzanne! We appreciate you more than you know! -Jason & Kristin - Ripon 2018 Arnold (Blue Lake Springs) Buyer

We are so glad we worked with Gary and Suzanne to buy our mountain cabin in Dorrington. They really know the whole area and did a great job finding us our dream cabin. They were also awesome in getting us connected to all the best local experts (tree inspector, gas, security, pest) you name it...they know the right people for the job. -Jack & Rachel - San Jose 2018 Camp Connell (Big Trees Village) Buyer

I'm so happy that we chose Gary to represent us in purchasing our dream cabin? His knowledge of the area was impeccable and given that we didn't know much about how things are in Arnold, having him guide us through the process was very smooth and easy! Even now, roughly a month after we've closed escrow, he and his wife Suzanne still remain vitally helpful as we set up the cabin and get it ready. Without them, I don't know where we would be. I would completely recommend anyone use them for purchases anywhere near Arnold, they're awesome!! -Tim & Ashley - Livermore 2018 Arnold (Blue Lake Springs) Buyer 

Gary and Suzanne are extremely knowledgeable about the local market and do an excellent job staging the home for sale, including capturing the home with the best possible photos. They were very helpful through the negotiation process with the buyer. We highly recommend them! -Jay & Annie - Murphys 2018 Murphys (Forest Meadows) Seller 

We met Gary and Suzanne at an open house several years ago and they became friends. When we considered selling our cabin in Big Trees, we contacted them. They explained the process and guided us through it with their knowledge of the area and the real estate process. We had never sold a property before and it was such a relief to work with Gary and Suzanne because we completely trusted their advise and judgment. Their magic worked! Our cabin sold right away. We Highly recommend their expertise! Thank you TEAM PARIS! -Jerry & Louise - Sunnyvale 2018 Dorrington (Big Trees Village) Seller 

Both Gary and Suzanne were delights to work with. They have excellent and detailed local knowledge, as they've lived in the area for some years. They were both very available whenever we had questions or needed to see our home multiple times. Gary and Suzanne answered all our questions, were professional and responsive. They immediately got back to us when we had questions involving even the minutest of details. My husband and I would highly recommend them for the sale or purchase of a home in the Arnold area. -Tom & Barbara - Pleasanton 2018 Arnold (Blue Lake Springs) Buyer

This was my second time working with Gary and Suzanne. They are a hard working and talented team. I told them I was in a tough spot as a trustee for my mother's estate. I needed help finding contractors and workers to empty and repair my mother's home. They found contractors for me to cut down a tree, clean the home, take away unwanted household items and much more. They tirelessly made calls for estimates. I am so thankful I had them to do all of this as I had just lost my mother and was drowning in paperwork and bills. The staging and photo work was the best I have seen. The home looked beautiful and they found a buyer in just weeks. This is fast for this rural area. I highly recommend Gary and Suzanne Paris. They not only know the area and have contacts for supporting the sale, they also are friendly and fun to work with. Buying and selling in their area, call them! -Matt Graham - Vallecito 2018 Hathaway Pines (Sunrise Point) Seller 

In 2013, Gary and Suzanne helped us find our first cabin. Working with them was easy and efficient. While we love our first cabin, we also love having all our family and friends join us, but that meant our cabin wasn't quite big enough. Over the years I've always kept in touch with Gary and Suzanne. In November 2017 I asked them to show me a few properties that were available. BINGO! They showed us the perfect one! Gary and Suzanne are LOCALS, meaning they know the area inside and out. They also have a great understanding of what my wife and I like. Even though they knew they had shown me THE ONE...they still insisted that I look at some of the others on the market "you gotta do a little diligence!" With their help, we went from offer to contract to close in 24 days. What really made the process easy and smooth was that Gary and Suzanne make excellent use of technology: DocuSign, Email, PDF's, etc. I was able to do everything from my home in Willow Glen. I can't stress enough the importance of using a realtor who is LOCAL, especially if you're a buyer with no experience in the area. Gary and Suzanne set a high bar! -John and Leanne - San Jose 2017 Dorrington (Big Trees Village) Buyer 

We recently purchased a vacation home in Arnold with the help of Gary and Suzanne Paris. They listened to our likes and dislikes and were willing to show us as many homes as we wanted to see. They even allowed us to bring our precious dog along with us to help in our decision. There are so many forms to sign and decisions to make during the buying process but Gary and Suzanne held our hand all the way through and provided us with all the feedback we requested. Cannot recommend them more! -Paul and Julie - Fremont 2017 Arnold (Blue Lake Springs) Buyer 

CONGRATULATIONS you just found your agent! These guys were great. They found the cabin our family has been looking for for a long time. Our deal was complex with multiple people involved. Gary made everything seamless and easy. Buying a house can be stressful, this was anything but. Gary knew all the right local people and even though we live four hours away, we were always connected to what was happening. Thanks again for all your help! -Matthew and Kira - Sparks, NV 2017 Arnold (Lakemont Pines) Buyer 

Gary and Suzanne are that special kind of realtors that you think do not exist anymore. The best way to describe them is the "Paris Touch". They have been in business for a long time and know the Arnold/Dorrington/Murphys area inside-out. Gary and Suzanne listened to what we were looking for and started showing us houses. They previewed the houses for us and got the intel. We gradually got down the list to "two" houses that were exactly what we were looking for and we were amazed because we thought that these houses were beyond our dreams....that's the "Paris Touch". And yes, Gary was amazing through the escrow process and getting us tied into the community! -Estaban and Margaret - Danville 2017 Dorrington (Big Trees Village) Buyer 

We worked with Gary and Suzanne this fall on a cabin purchase and what wonderful agents to work with. They watched out for us during the entire process and made the purchase go so smoothly. -Jim and Giny - Hayward 2017 Arnold (Lakemont Pines) Buyer 

We live in the Bay Area and were interested to learn more about living in Calaveras County and if we found the right place, we wanted to move quickly. We had a fund tour of 6 properties with Suzanne, learned about the area, the community and what we needed to know about buying a home in the mountains. We found a home that was perfect! That same day, Gary successfully led us through a competitive bid situation. Contracting, inspections and agreeing on repairs were smooth and trouble free. Knowledge of accepted practice and getting timely inspections helped expedite each step. It is now 30 days since our property tour and as new owners of a log cabin in the forest, we could not be happier with the service and the results. -Bob and Janie - San Jose 2017 Camp Connell (Big Trees Village) Buyer 

A year ago my wife and I were contemplating selling our mountain home in Arnold. We kept going back and forth with our decision but we had decided to at least start the process by interviewing 3 local realtors. Gary and Suzanne had won us over! They were willing to listen to our desired outcome, they coached us on the approach and they were honest and easy to talk to. One year later we finally decided to sell and the outcome was amazing! We are so glad they kept their interest in us during the year long process. What a team! In short order we signed them up to represent us and list our property. They shared their plan, set expectations and totally executed it. The marketing this team provided was OUTSTANDING! Suzanne's eye for detail is second to none. The drone/camera video, the pictures and lighting displayed our home in such an outstanding way. During the year of decision making, we watched homes that were up for sale in our neighborhood drop their prices and take months to sell. If my math serves me right...from the time we listed the property to cash in the bank took 20 days! We had two outstanding offers to work with which blew us away. We felt our home stood out within our neighborhood and so did they!! This is why we chose them. Their competition spent To much time telling me our sites were set too high. Gary and Suzanne believe in the product and hit it out of the park for us! -Charles and Pat - Pleasanton 2017 Arnold (Mill Woods) Seller 

We thought we had a very nice vacation home in the mountains that showed great until Suzanne worked her magic and staged it perfectly! Gary and Suzanne are very knowledgeable of the property value's for the area. They got our place ready, priced it effectively and had it sold in a couple of days with multiple offers and over asking price. They kept us up to date as to where all the documentation was during the closing process. TEAM PARIS is very result driven...a very important asset to have when they represent you. -Steve and Georgiana - Pleasanton 2017 Camp Connell (Country Houses) Seller 

Gary and Suzanne have actually helped us get TWO properties in Arnold. We have to go for lower priced properties and Gary has been very patient with us. He showed us many houses before we found the one we bought and he answered my many questions promptly and with valuable expertise. In both cases we were able to get the property below the asking price, which helped tremendously. As an extra perk, it is a joy working with them both. We very much enjoy our time with them. We have recommended them to friends and co-workers and would recommend them to you as well!! -Jeff and Jennifer - Palo Alto 2017 Arnold (Blue Lake Springs) Buyer 

Gary and Suzanne came highly recommended to us by two of their previous buyers and they exceeded the recommendation. I really enjoyed seeing houses with Suzanne along, as she and I seemed to have the same eye for details. These two work together as an awesome team and it helps the process to go faster with two on your team. Each step of the way they were there with recommendations and helping us learn the ropes of living in Arnold as well as buying our new home. We are planning to be in Arnold year round and look forward to having the "Paris Team" as our neighbors and friends. -David and Deborah - Hayward 2017 Arnold (Meadowmont) Buyer 

I am a first time home buyer and live in the Bay Area, therefore... I desperately needed a real estate agent with a great deal of experience and expertise in the area of Arnold, CA. After we met Gary and Suzanne for the first time, we knew we found the right recipe for finding our perfect get-away home. They not only know each and every nook and cranny in the Arnold area but they also understood our needs and wants for a weekend home. They rode the rollercoaster with us as I made offers, pulled out of offers and finally bought a cabin. In the end we are extremely happy with our purchase and made two great friends in the process. -Dina - San Francisco 2016 Arnold (Lakemont Pines) Buyer 

Truly both Gary and Suzanne Paris are the best at what they do to help find and close the best property and the best deal for you. Both agents were always available at the last minute to show me properties I was interested in. Gary would always update my listing cart for me to show what was on the market on a weekly basis to keep me informed but also was honest about the condition of the property so I wouldn't waist my time traveling to see the property. Thank you! -Walter and Carmen - Fremont 2016 Arnold (Blue Lake Springs) Buyer 

We knew we wanted to buy a place in Arnold for vacation now and retirement later but we live three hours away in the Silicon Valley. Gary and Suzanne were knowledgeable of the local market, perceptive of our taste and patient with our inflexibility due to work and distance. They were also a lot of fun to work with! It took us several months to finally reach a definite decision which meant Gary and Suzanne were also extremely patient with us. We love our dream home/cabin in Arnold and look forward to the day when we live there full time. Thank you Gary and Suzanne! -Greg & Jinny - San Jose 2016 Arnold (Lakemont Pines) Buyer 

Being retirees of the SF Bay area, we absolutely made the right choice relying on ALL Gary & Suzanne Paris' real estate skills. They handled the myriad time-consuming details of property sales professionally & efficiently. Gary always kept us well-informed, and smoothly facilitated all on-line "Docu-Signing." He professionally & efficiently walked us thru the whole process gaining our confidence & respect. For cleaning & repair work, they chose local professional people who met their standards of excellence. Suzanne did an outstanding job creating two essential aspects of marketing: creating a great visual tour, and a thorough photo gallery. She artfully captured our condo's warmth & charm. Our "Country Houses" completely furnished condo, we'd cherished for over 34 years, sold quickly. Gary & Suzanne's 38+ years of real estate experience & professional teamwork DO make ALL the difference. Mahalo for doing a fantastic job! -Calvin & Marie - Hawaii 2016 Camp Connell (Country Houses) Seller 

Gary and Suzanne make the best real estate team that we have ever encountered. They were professional, knowledgeable and very responsive in helping us finding our dream cabin within our set budget. They really took their time and never pressure us into something that we did not want. Best of all, they were very kind, considerate and put clients' needs first. We made an offer on a cabin and decided to withdrawal due to multiple issues. Gary and Suzanne tactfully negotiated and guided us through the process on another cabin. -Allen & Qing-Wen - Elk Grove 2016 Camp Connell (Big Trees Village) Buyer 

We have used “Team Paris” twice! We met Gary and Suzanne Paris when we were looking for a home in the Arnold area. We found them both to be knowledgeable of the area as well as the people and businesses in the area. They really listened to us and what we were looking for. We were able to find a home the first day that they showed us homes! We were new to the area and their knowledge was invaluable to us. We were impressed with their timely response WHENEVER we contacted them. So when it came time to sell our home, of course we contacted them. And again, they did not let us down. They helped us set a price for our home (which was higher then we expected) and it sold in 1 week with a full price offer! Thanks to their level of commitment they give to their clients, they were with us every step of the way, buying and selling! -Mark & Cinda - Arnold 2016 Arnold (The Park) Seller 

Gary & Suzanne Paris are a very powerful and unusual team. My husband had passed away and I was overwhelmed about getting my house ready to sell and listed. I talked to Gary and told him where I was at with the whole process and he said that he and his wife understood where I was coming from and that they could help me. And they did. They put together a plan, made arrangements to expedite the plan and took all of my concerns and stress away from me. They led me through everything and within 3 weeks it was listed and sold in 6 days. They provide an unusual and powerful service. If not for them I would still be stressing. Thank you two very professional and caring realtors. -Jean - Arizona 2016 Arnold (Blue Lake Springs) Seller 

Gary and Suzanne helped me buy 2 homes this past year. They were very patient showing me many, many homes. Suzanne spent hours looking at listings and taking me to view homes. They both understood my criteria very quickly. Gary has an excellent understanding of California state laws and real estate requirements. He made great recommendations regarding inspections etc. -Tina - Arnold 2016 Camp Connell (Big Trees Village) Buyer 

Suzanne and Gary are a great team! They helped us find the perfect place and provided us with a very easy buying experience. Suzanne spent hours showing us neighborhoods and giving us useful information on the areas we were interested in. She helped us pinpoint the type of cabin we would most enjoy and nailed it with a place that was not even on the market yet. Gary helped us with negotiations and inspections and was on top of all the work needed to make the transaction happen. We felt like we were taken care of every step of the way. Thanks for finding us our dream cabin! -Michael & Tracy - Morgan Hill 2016 Murphys (Forest Meadows) Buyer 

I cannot say enough good things about the service I received from Gary and Suzanne Paris. They are top professionals in the field of realtors. My home had been on the market for a year and I switched realtors twice before finding Gary and Suzanne. With my previous realtors I had in fact...no offers. One new realtor told me they could probably get me an offer if I reduced my property by $20 k. I refused and then found Gary and Suzanne Paris. They had my home sold in a matter of days with a cash offer thousands over my asking price!! They also had another offer in the wings at the asking price. They are outstanding and the best realtors I have ever had the pleasure to have worked with. I have bought and sold many homes in Southern California region with realtors that no where compare to the professionalism, responsiveness and "Get it Sold for as much as possible and as quickly as possible" attitude that Gary and Suzanne possess. I truly think they may be one of the best realtor teams in the country! Thomas Meseroll -Thomas - Culver City 2016 Murphys (Forest Meadows) Seller 

It took almost a year, but we found the home of our dreams with the help of Gary and Suzanne. Gary patiently showed us home after home, weekend after weekend. Not once did he seem impatient or push us into anything we weren't comfortable with. We even had to cancel a visit due to the threat of fire...but that didn't deter us from continuing to pursue our vacation dreams in Arnold. We found a few that almost fit the bill, but we are so happy we were patient and waited for "the one". We hope to spend many happy years enjoying the fresh mountain air! -Mike & Julie - San Jose 2016 Murphys (Forest Meadows) Buyer 

Gary and Suzanne were terrific while working through the process of selling our families home in Forest Meadows. We would recommend them helping you with any real estate transaction in that area. -Darryl & Gloria - Turlock 2016 Murphys (Forest Meadows) Seller 

I recommend Gary and Suzanne Paris for buying a home. It was a great experience. They were very helpful and made the transaction go smooth and painless. We found the perfect place. -Tom & Ann - Valley Springs 2016 Arnold (Mill Woods Condo) Buyer 

This couple, The Paris team are professional all the way.Keeping you informed through out the process and working for you and your concerns, Plus they are a sweet couple as well. We lost our beloved home in the valley fire and returned to Arnold after 20 year's in Cobb.,they helped us during a horrible loss. I'm so glad we got a reference from my sister in law who owns a home in Arnold to call Gary and Suzanne Paris with Cedar creek Reality. They are winners. Thanks Team Paris. -Jerry & Libby - Concord 2015 Arnold (Blue Lake Springs) Buyer 

My husband and I recently sold our townhouse in Murphys, CA...actually Team Paris sold it for us! As we live out of state, Gary and Suzanne were a HUGE help in getting the property ready for showing in a very timely and efficient manner. Suzanne wasted no time in getting the property cleaned and minor repairs taken care of. Gary moved forward quickly as well and made it easy for us to get necessary documents signed within minutes! I would highly recommend Team Paris! -Burney & Laura - Louisiana 2015 Murphys (Fieldstone) Seller 

We chose to work with Gary and Suzanne Paris when we sold our house in Blue Lake Springs, Arnold. It was a wise choice. They spent time with us before we ‘hired’ them, helping us find companies and people to do pre-inspections and whatever work we decided to do prior to putting our house up for sale. Suzanne had great ideas about rearranging our furniture to best show our home’s assets. She then put together an online ‘virtual tour’ which maximized exposure. Gary kept us informed every step of the way. Once we had an offer, he helped us to handle the extensive back and forth negotiations. Team Paris was professional and supportive throughout the process. They worked hard for us. We feel comfortable recommending them to anyone who expects superior service. -Rainer & Dianne - Fremont 2015 Arnold (Blue Lake Springs) Seller 

There is no question in our minds.....we would definitely recommend Gary & Suzanne Paris to anyone interested in buying or selling a home here in the Arnold area. They are truly a professional team. We absolutely love our new home and we love the Arnold area and we consider Gary and Suzanne our newest and good friends. We could ramble on but would be repeating ourselves. Simply stated........whether buying or selling........you can trust the Paris team! -Joe & Bettye - Lodi - Now of Arnold 2015 Arnold (Mill Woods) Buyer 

Gary and Suzanne are really an awesome team, and my husband and I are very happy with how easy the closing on our recent vacation property went. It was not without a couple hiccups at the very end, but it was not an easy deal, with a few interesting quirks. The hubs and I are also not the easiest of clients – I have a bit of a "passion for perfection" and hold everyone I work with to the same high standards I subject myself to. And after kinda SORTA putting Team Paris through the ringer, I have to say... they did it. They found us our dream cabin in ONE day of looking, closed on it in less than 45 days, in the middle of summer, even though we had SIX sellers scattered all over the West Coast, AND I decided to change jobs in the middle of the deal (oops!). Team Paris gets my five-star stamp of approval. -Trent & Lisa - Oakland 2015 Arnold (Meadowmont) Buyer 

Gary and Suzanne were great to work with. They love to share their knowledge of the area which shows they love the area and everything it has to offer. They always responded quickly and made sure to keep us informed of where we were in the process and up to date on any new developments. The negotiation ended exactly as I had hoped which was thanks to Gary's expertise. Both Gary and Suzanne made it clear that even though we had closed escrow, they are still there to help us out whenever we need it. -Michael & Nicole - Livermore 2015 Camp Connell (Big Trees Village) Buyer 

Thank you and Suzanne for the great and wonderful experience we had with you. The "Paris Duo" are amazing and we are extremely satisfied with the results and assistance before, during and after. Thank you from our family to your! -Ray & Hasiba - Fremont 2015 Arnold (Fly-In Acres) Buyer 

We would like to express how much we truly appreciated the partnership you instantly instilled with us....and have not waivered one bit to ensure a successful close for us and the buyers. You've certainly gone outside the usual level of service to see that our home closed successfully and on time. You and Suzanne are true professionals! -Russ & Janet - San Antonio 2015 Blue Lake Springs (Unit 15) Seller 

Gary Paris was very helpful in showing me homes in the area of Snowshoe Springs just east of Arnold. I had interest in buying a comfortable home there, and found exactly what I was looking for. Gary showed several properties to me before I made the decision to buy my home. Gary and Suzanne Paris made the effort to learn about what I needed in a home, and they followed through on all the details involved in my purchase. I am satisfied that I could not have picked a more ideal agent for my investment. I highly recommend Gary Paris as a "top of the line" Real Estate Professional! -Peter Embody - Martinez 2015 Snowshoe Springs (Big Trees Village) Buyer 

Gary and Suzanne were excellent in every way. My search took two years to find the house I was looking for. They set me up on a home search according to my parameters and kept me informed about the market and educated me on the area. I live in the Bay Area and as this is a second home it took me a while to learn the area and feel comfortable with a purchase. Gary and Suzanne were very responsive to my needs and answered all my questions. They were excellent in the negotiation and keeping me up to date with the process. I have some friends who would like to buy in the area and will definitely refer them to Gary and Suzanne. -Tom Conley - Redwood City 2014 Blue Lake Springs (Unit 15) Buyer 

Gary Paris hit the ground running on selling our cabin! With the cabin under construction, Gary had to find a very special buyer. With Gary's knowledge and Suzanne's photographs of our place, there was interest immediately. Gary kept us up to date via phone calls and email so we were never left wondering what was going on. Great experience!! -Gene & Carolyn - Concord 2014 Blue Lake Springs (Unit 15) Seller 

Words cannot describe how lucky we were to work with Gary and Suzanne Paris. We were looking to purchase a vacation home in Arnold after being tied up on another deal in Pollock Pines for almost 9 disappointing months. When we came across the listing of our "new home", we knew by the photos that this was the "One for Us". Once we connected with Gary and Suzanne, it only took 3.5 weeks to close on our new DREAM VACATION HOME. Gary kept us updated every step of the way and there were never any surprises, the transaction was seamless. They are extremely detailed, patient and on top of all this....they are such wonderful individuals that give you undivided attention. The relationship did not end once the deal was closed. They continue to check in with us and we feel we have made 2 new friends for life! -James & Danielle - Oakley 2014 Camp Connell (Big Trees Village) Buyer 

Gary and Suzanne are wonderful and have a powerful partnership! We bought a home in 2013 and they told us they'd always be there for us and recently it was put to the test. A friend was coming from out of town to our home to house sit. I gave her the WRONG key ring and she was locked out with our dogs in tow. We called Suzanne at 8PM in a panic - well after hours. Gary and Suzanne had moved to a new office (different company) and had not had a chance to transfer over the key to our home. To get the key, Suzanne got a hold of a colleague from the other office, retrieved the key and SAVED THE DAY by delivering the key to our stranded friend and all this while still wearing her PJ's. Talk about going the extra mile! -Rob & Jennifer - Los Gatos 2014 Arnold (Meadowmont) Buyer 

Thinking back to our first meeting in 2013, we never interviewed any other realtors after we spoke to you, since you had such a good command of the situation. When we decided to go ahead and sell this year, we were anxious to get the home on the market for the summer season, so the deal would be completed by....well, like maybe before Labor Day! So you found an interested buyer and reeled them in even after we declined to help with financing (glad we did not get involved in that, as we are trying to simplify our life). I know you did countless things to pull all this together, and kept us in the loop throughout. Other than signing things, we really did not have to put forth any effort. Thank you both so much for all you have done. -John & Joan - Linden 2014 Camp Connell (Big Trees Village) Seller 

Gary and Suzanne have been our Realtors for over five years. During that time they have helped us purchase a vacant lot in Big Trees Village and build our vacation home, listed and sold a home in the Bay Area and most recently sold our home in Forest Meadows. "Team Paris" has done an outstanding job of understanding our needs as both buyers and sellers. With Gary and Suzanne you get two professionals working for you, each with their own special talents. "Team Paris" is a unique team that offers complete assistance from knowledge of the market, listing, pricing, marketing and staging, through closing. We have been especially impressed with the marketing and advertising that "Team Paris" has done for our home in Forest Meadows. Gary and Suzanne are the most experienced, knowledgeable and professional Realtors that we have ever dealt with and I would highly recommend them to anyone who is either buying or selling. -Ron & Diane - Copperopolis 2014 Murphys (Forest Meadows) Seller 

Throughout our recent purchase of a lovely home in Arnold, my husband and I were very impressed with "Team Paris". From our very first contact with them (the home was already under contract with someone else and it fell out) all the way through our move-in day (Suzanne stopped by and left the light on for us as we'd be getting in late that night) they were attentive to every detail and showed a spirit of service that went beyond professionalism. I feel lucky that our paths crossed and that we were able to benefit from their experience, talent and kindness. I could never thank them enough for making this opportunity possible. Gary and Suzanne are REALLY good at this! -Jason & Emily - Redwood City 2014 Arnold (Millwoods) Buyer 

Gary and Suzanne Paris were excellent. They said that if we could get a number of things done to fix up the house, then it would sell quickly. They helped provide all the people needed to fix it up and it was on the market in 2 weeks, looking great! Suzanne helped to semi-stage the house and take excellent photos of the house for the online listings and paper brochures. The house sold with multiple offers the week after it went on the market. Gary helped guide us through the closing process. Very impressed with these agents! -Larry & Tracie - Los Altos 2014 Murphys (Forest Meadows) Seller 

Gary and Suzanne were wonderful to deal with. We are very picky buyers and the "Paris Team" helped us find the right home for our family in Arnold. Gary is a very experienced Real Estate agent and I felt very confident with his skills to get us the deal we were looking for. Once our offer was accepted, the property's appraisal was higher than the deal he negotiated for us. Gary and Suzanne worked very hard during the holidays working for us thru Christmas and New Years. I will sure go back to them for any future dealings. They are very resourceful and have helped us after we closed. They are a wonderful team and now good neighbors and friends. Thank you both for going the extra mile and for making it easy for me to find a home that I can spend quality time with my beloved family. -Raymond & Hasiba - Fremont 2014 Arnold (Fly-In Acres) Buyer 

Gary and his wife Suzanne were great to work with. They showed me "27" homes. I am very picky when it comes to property and they were patient and really pleasant to work with. Everything was organized and well mapped, we spent 2 week ends looking at potential properties and then found one that we put an offer on. The deal almost fell through but Gary negotiated a last effort compromise and we got it! Not only were they helpful before and during the sale but they are still available to help as we move in and try to figure out the ins and outs of living in the mountains. I have bought many homes and have not had the kind of service/experience that they provide....highly recommended. -Raymond & Duna - Soquel 2013 

Working with Team Paris (Gary and Suzanne) made my attitude about house hunting/purchasing do a 180! Team Paris is the best the market has to offer. Gary is incredibly knowledgeable, was honest with us from the start, negotiated like hell for us and was very attentive to our needs. With all the hard work, my husband and I chose a home within six/eight weeks of starting our search. Gary and Suzanne are full of energy and give their honest opinion on properties and ideas. I truly feel that Team Paris was perfect fit for my husband and I, I would recommend them for anyone who needs an agent. -Chad & Julie - Discovery Bay 2013 

Gary and Suzanne are wonderful! From the moment we met in the office they took a personal interest in finding out exactly what we wanted. We exchanged emails with them before we met face to face, they had an entire list of properties they reviewed with us prior to us seeing the area. As we walked the various properties, they asked us questions and they really listened to what we had to say, and pruned the lists of places to go see based on our feedback. As we moved from property to property they described the area, they told us about the people, the feel of the community, great restaurants and places to frequent. Once we found the ideal spot, they swung into action, working all the details for us with the listing agent and bank. They kept us informed all along the way. Upon our first night in our new house, we found a basket with wine, 2 glasses and some decorations for the house. They are a wealth of knowledge of purchasing a home in the Arnold area and have been a tremendous help as we established our new household, with providing great recommendations on local handyman, local places of interest and even have gone so far as to be available for appointments when we weren't available to be at our house. We consider them the Mayor's of Arnold and the local area. -Rob & Jennifer - Los Gatos 2013 

We were staying with friends at their cabin in Arnold one weekend and saw a few cabins for sale. We just happened to stop in Gary and Suzanne’s office on a Sunday evening and by 8 am the next morning; they were ready to show us the properties that we were interested in. We scheduled another house hunting trip which was extremely productive due to their meticulous planning to show us the numerous (19) homes on our list. They were a pleasure to work with, always prompt with responses to any questions we had and made sure that we understood the purchasing process throughout each phase. -Matt & Amy - San Jose 2013 

Gary and Suzanne are very enthusiastic about showing properties! They picked out some great ones after our initial telephone conversation. We found our dream property! They have been with us even after the sale to assist in coordinating repairs that were needed and just saying "hi". If you want a very knowledgeable, honest and down-to-earth (and fun) team, call Gary and Suzanne! -Matt & Liz - San Ramon 2012 

We were in a personal crisis and critically needed to find a serene place to relocate. Gary was the one realtor that responded to my inquiries and never hesitated to be available in our search process. Along the way he answered our questions with great regard for detail and was very forthcoming about the area and our necessary adjustment to the climate change, etc. I can't think of anything that was missing in our process. He has become our friend as well and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone. He is generous with his time but also with his spirit. We can’t thank him enough for all that he has done to help us get settled in our new home. -Frank & Christine - Arnold 2012 

Gary and Suzanne are well- versed in the local real estate market and are so easy to work with that the usually stressful process of selling AND buying in this area was actually enjoyable. And we have done both with Gary and Suzanne. My wife and I have been so impressed with their knowledge of the local market and their ability to take care of all the transactional details that make the selling and buying process so much smoother. We had a very complex foreclosure acquisition that threatened to unravel many times but Gary and Suzanne were able to surmount the numerous hurdles and close the deal for us......we cannot recommend them enough. And they are so much fun to work with that we look forward to working with them for our future real estate needs. -Richard & Lavone - Arnold 2012 

Gary & Suzanne Paris were such a joy to work with. Their knowledge of the Arnold area helped us make our decision on where we wanted to purchase our home. They were always available and worked really hard for us. I would definitely use them again and recommend them to all my friends and family. We are completely happy. Thank you again! -Sheldon & Cindy - Fremont 2012 

Late in 2011 my wife and I began a search for a second home in the Arnold/Big Trees area and were referred to Gary Paris by way of friends who own the Black Bear Inn. I won't sugar coat it, I'm not the easiest buyer. This property is our planned retirement home and we were very determined to find the right property. Real Estate is local and Gary knows the market. When looking in the Sierra's it's what you don't know that can get you. Gary points out potential issues on properties while finding locations with upside. The net is this, Gary is an expert on Sierra Real Estate and understands the time constraints and interests of Bay Area buyers looking in the area. Reach out to Gary, it's the wise choice. You'll be happy you did! -Don & Karen - Fremont 2012 

I worked with Gary for approximately 4 months to find the right property to meet the wants and needs of my family. He found the right house at the right price and walked us through the purchase process. I would highly recommend Gary and his assistant, Suzanne. -Kathleen - San Ramon 2012 

Gary is very professional and extremely knowledgeable about the area we were interested in. Gary kept us well informed every step of the process. Most importantly he was very patient as we looked at several homes, some more than once. If I were selling or buying a home again I would look no further than to Gary. -Wayne & Jennifer - Pacific Grove 2012 

Gary's knowledge of Calaveras County and his years of expertise as a realtor, in my opinion, is unexcelled. Gary, along with his wife Suzanne are very professional, responsive and tuned in to your price and needs. It took us less than a week to find our home in Murphys. He made looking for a home, fun and painless. We are now full time residents and recommend Gary every chance we get. Looking for a home can be a good or bad experience. Make it a good experience....call Gary Paris! -Mike & Diane - Forest Meadows (Murphys) 

We were always treated as though we were his #1 priority. We felt like family! -Ed & Carol - Valley Springs 2011 

Gary and Suzanne helped us find our "dream" cabin. We are so excited to be spending a lot of time in Arnold. They made the process fun! We would definitely recommend them to our family & friends. They were wonderful! -Thomas & Collene - San Lorenzo 2011 

After contacting Gary, he put together a list of homes to fit our needs and took the time to show us each one and gave us great insight to items we had questions about. After choosing our home, he worked very hard for us to put together and close the deal. This was a challenge as there was 5 to 6 feet of snow on the ground. His insight and knowledge of the area was very helpful and he continues to advise us 7 months after the purchase was completed. Gary took extra time to ensure we were getting the best deal possible and to make our experience fun and exciting. His advise regarding construction, lot selection and location were right on the money and have left us extremely satisfied with the entire process from start to finish. It is not very often you meet a person as genuine and attentive as Gary. -Doug & Lisa - Hayward 2011 

The only time our entire family was available to look at cabins was New Years Day 2011. When Gary Paris told us he would make himself available on the holiday to show us around, we knew we had found someone special. Gary's knowledge of the Blue Lake Springs area was key to our finding the perfect place. From the writing of the offer through the close of escrow, Gary was always a true professional. He kept us abreast of all happenings, explained everything thoroughly and in the end...helped us realize our dream. We love our new cabin! "Thank you Gary, for your knowledge, professionalism, guidance and friendship. " -Brian & Nancy - Walnut Creek 2011 

We came to know Gary and his wife Suzanne first as guests of our Inn several years ago and we knew then that he would be the right person to represent us once we chose to sell the Inn. Over the 2 1/2 years we had the "Black Bear Inn" listed with Gary he was always professional & kept us up to date on all inquiries. His advertising brochures, newspaper articles, web site ads & local listing in the Century 21 guide were informative with all the info prospective clients needed. He had contacts that he used in the Bay Area & surrounding areas to further advertise our property. We chose Gary because of his outgoing personality, honesty & integrity. We currently have another property listed with him & feel confident he is working hard to sell it also. We would highly recommend Gary Paris to get the job done! -Kirk & Doreen - Arnold 

We were instantly impressed with Gary Paris - he was on time, organized and made us feel welcome in what would become our new home. He was very thorough throughout the entire process. It was a long and sometimes painful journey (buying a business, obtaining an SBA loan and moving two hours away) but Gary stuck with us every step of the way. Deadlines were met, promises were kept and teamwork with Gary got us to the finish line. Gary definitely helped make our dream come true! -Bruce & Wendi - Elk Grove (now of Arnold-new "Black Bear Inn" owners) 

I wanted to thank you for helping us to follow up on the ant issue. Realistically, the "sale" of the house is complete and your obligation as the Realtor is done. I know that you view the relationship as extending past the sale of the house and we appreciate that. This just confirms that we made the correct choice in deciding who we wanted to be our realtor. -Thomas & Tomara - Morgan Hill

We are thrilled to be the owners of a cabin in Arnold! THANK YOU very much for your professionalism, diligence and good humor in this process. We obviously couldn't have done it without you. It has been a pleasure to work with you. -John & Lisa - Piedmont

My personal recommendation for a Real Estate professional in the Arnold/Big Trees area is Gary Paris at C-21 in Arnold. His personal number is 795-2332. I have dealt with Gary for over a year and have found him to be professional and honest in his knowledge of the market and very helpful. (posted in the Big Trees Community Forum) -Ron & Diane - Copperopolis 

We unfortunately had to sell our place this past October because we are moving to Oregon this summer. Our agent, Gary Paris was wonderful. He is very professional and was nice enough to hook us up with a terrific realtor in Oregon. We even managed to sell our place in Camp Connell in three days which is kind of unheard of in this market. I sure do miss Big Trees, but I live vicariously through those of you who post on this sight. (posted in the Big Trees Community Forum) -Richard & Suzanne - San Jose
