Testimonials
"Paul DuRant went above and beyond to make sure we found the perfect home, and that everything between contract and closing went smoothly. Paul is diligent, hard working, responsive, and knowledgeable. If you're looking to buy or sell in the Midlands, I wouldn't look further than the DuRant Team."
"We had the pleasure of working with Paul DuRant on the purchase of a home in Columbia. We were relocating from TN and it took several months for our home there to sell. Paul showed us dozens of homes during that time frame. Early on, we made a contingency offer on a house north of town that expired. We finally got some interest from a buyer and made a contingency offer on a home in Forest Acres and we were able to close on it! Paul was so patient during the entire process. He was always there for us, but never pushy. He helped us gain a great perspective on the city, showing us homes all over the area. The house we bought had multiple offers and Paul helped us get our offer accepted and at a discount to the listing price!!"
"I had a small window of time since I was relocating for a job and Paul helped me find the perfect house, ideal location, negotiated an ideal price and we closed within 3 weeks. What I thought would be stressful, turned out to be a fast and easy process. I would highly recommend Paul Durant to anyone trying to sell or buy a home. He knows his stuff."
"A+ experience! We relocated to the area from out of state. Paul listened to our needs and helped us find the perfect home. Although we looked at existing homes, we ultimately purchased a new construction. We felt Paul negotiated well and navigated us through the process with ease. We highly recommend the DuRant Team."
"I worked with Paul in 2017 to purchase my first home. As a new buyer, he did a very nice job guiding me through the process at every step. He was always available for questions and returned my calls and emails promptly. I never felt rushed or pushed. He let me explore each home at my own pace, and he respected my opinions on what I liked and didn't like at each property. Ultimately, I found my "dream home" and the contract / paperwork process moved quickly and relatively easily. I have already recommended Paul to my friends!"
"Paul DuRant kept a watchful eye in pursuit of an affordable home in a safe neighborhood. The same day my new home came on the market he was able to take me through it. I knew it was going to go fast so I asked him make an offer that day. in addition the my offer he included things I never would have thought of. Being a first time home buyer is difficult enough but mourning the passing of your spouse of 47 years made it extremely difficult to concentrate on all the details of home buying. Paul Durant and the mortgage company kept me going when I was ready to give up. We got almost everything suggested on the inspection and we got the closing when I needed it to happen. So comfortable and happy here. Thanks again."
"We worked with Paul when relocating to the Columbia, SC area from GA. Once we communicated what we were looking for, he worked to find options that met many if not all of our needs. He was informed on property listings and the different communities. As we worked to secure the home, he was knowledgeable of the process and based on what we wanted for the home, was able to assist us in negotiating "add-ons" (i.e. garage door openers, blinds, fence, etc.) at a reasonable cost. He was very friendly, knowledgeable, responsive and helpful from search to closing. We would highly recommend The DuRant team, particularly Paul, for your real estate needs."
BIO
Choosing the right home for you is more than just the land, foundation and bricks it's made from physically. It's the feeling you get when you step through that front door, the warmth that comforts you after settling in from a long day or the space you need to be safe at home during uncertain times. These intangibles that come from your home can't be found on paper or through searching online, you can only get these perspectives from stepping foot in the front door. I am here to help you make that first step! Whether this is your first or tenth home, each time is special and unique for you and your current life stage.
I have purchased homes during market downtimes and dealt with bank owned foreclosed properties, fought for purchases when competition was high, used 1031 exchanges to buy and sell investment properties as well as bought and sold properties traditionally. My understanding from my personal experiences provides me the empathy needed to help you through each stage of the home buying and selling process.
Prior to entering the real estate industry, I was Director of Marketing for over 12 years with a focus on branding, advertising and sales marketing. Understanding my clients and their unique needs, made my passion for customizing the sales approach my main priority and drove my client's success. Each home is unique and requires the same level of dedication as any other product being sold, which is where my expertise will shine.
I look forward to being your trusted advisor and partner as we navigate your real estate journey. Let's get in touch and get started on your next stage in life!
