Hey there, I'm Teri, a Jersey native turned Florida enthusiast, and I'm thrilled to share a slice of my journey with you. Born and raised in the Garden State, I grew up surrounded by the hustle and bustle of New Jersey. Little did I know, those roots would one day bloom into a love for helping people find their own piece of paradise. I've worn many hats in my career journey, from steering the ship as a Customer Development Center Manager to orchestrating the daily dance of an Office Manager and taking the helm as a Human Resources Director. Each role added a brushstroke to the canvas of my professional story. Picture this: a kid from Jersey dreaming of a palm tree in the yard. In 1998, that dream became a reality as I made the leap to the sunny shores of Cocoa Beach, Florida. Living in the Orlando area until 2016, I soaked in the magic of the Sunshine State. Fast forward to today, and I call Palm Coast my home. Nestled along a saltwater canal, we built our home. It's not just a house; it's a testament to dreams realized and memories waiting to be made. Now, I've found my true calling as a Realtor. There's something incredibly fulfilling about helping others find their perfect place in the sun. If you're on the hunt for your slice of Florida paradise or just want to swap stories about the journey, reach out! I'm not just a Realtor; I'm a fellow dreamer ready to make your Florida dreams come true. Thanks for stepping into my world, and here's to finding your perfect place under the Florida sun!

Paulsbeachrealestate@gmail.com
Hello, I’m Paul McDonald, a retired police officer turned Realtor in Palm Coast, Florida. I specialize in Palm Coast, Flagler Beach, Bunnell and all of Flagler County. I believe knowledge is power, especially in real estate. It is important to me to educate my sellers and buyers about the real estate market and process from start to finish, giving them the confidence to make informed decisions. In turn, their experience is smooth and stress-free. I help buyers find their dream home and sellers get the best possible price for their property.
"We are first time home buyers so we had tons of questions and Paul patiently answered all of them in a very professional but honest manner. We found a house we loved and Paul was on it. Up until the closing, he was there. It was the best outcome and experience we could have hoped for. We didn't imagine buying a house to go this smoothly. With Paul's guidance, we were able to put our minds at ease. Now, we're living in the house of our dreams!"
- Naara & Brian A.
"After my wife, myself, and Paul developed a plan; Paul immediately put it into play. The first weekend after putting it on the market, Paul had an incredible open house--he even brought homemade cookies! Paul, almost daily, kept us in the loop as to what the market was doing and if we should change our strategy or stay put for a while. He is very trustworthy, honest professional. He will work hard for your success. My wife and I highly recommend Paul McDonald!"
- Tom & Mary K.
It is very important to me that a person in any business be hard working, knowledgeable, responsive, accountable and honest. That is what makes a professional. I have carried these traits throughout my career and will put them to work for you.
I retired after sixteen years as a Police Officer in Colorado. My family and I have always wanted to live in a community by the ocean that supports our values and offers a bright future for our children. After searching all over Florida, we found what we were looking for right here in Palm Coast!
As an officer, I spoke with people to solve problems and worked with them to find a solution. I’ve found that it isn’t that different helping sellers and buyers learn about the current market and move forward with a purchase or sale if it makes sense for them. I must admit that helping people in real estate is more fun!
I believe that it is also important to know what is going on in our community and be involved. I am a member of a local business group, Leads Into The Future and a member of the Public Policy Committee through the Flagler County Association of Realtors. I continuously educate myself in real estate and have completed the ‘Success Series’, Short Sales, Reverse Mortgage, 1031 Exchange and Property Management real estate classes. I’ve organized a ‘beach clean-up’ for Flagler Beach. My family and I are also very involved with our church. We enjoy going to our beaches and supporting our local businesses.

She is knowledgeable and intuitive about the market and the area. We trusted her advise, ideas and suggestions; and she was always right on target.

by Small Town in DCWe had a wonderful experience with Mari. She worked tirelessly to help us find our dream vacation home. She knows Palm Coast and is an expert in contract negotiations. Very honest and high integrity. Always calls back right away!!
by PH724My wife and I wanted to relocate to Palm Coast as quickly as possible. Scott helped us find the house that met all of our needs quickly and efficiently. Couldn't be happier with the professional guidance he provided from search to closing. Scott and Take Action Properties are the go to resource for home buying.
by dgaddesWhen we first contacted Scott we were just looking to see if Palm Coast was where we wanted to retire in the near future. We told him what we were looking for and he put some houses together for us when we came down just to check out the area. We knew then after meeting him he was the right person for us. He was friendly, and willing to take his time with us. A few months later we called him back and said we wanted to see some more houses and when we came down he took us to houses we described to him and in our price range. He never pushed us to go higher or bigger than we could afford. We found a house and put in an offer and after that Scott pretty much did all the ground work since we were out of state. I would recommend Scott to anyone looking for a home in Palm Harbor, Palm Coast.
