About

Forty years of building. One fresh start.
A new way to serve.

I'm Paul Simari — a lifelong builder and marketer who lost nearly everything, started over in Prescott, and came back with one conviction: do honest work, put people first, and let the results take care of themselves.

The first forty years

I've always been a builder.

I started in New York City advertising at 22 and spent four decades building things — I helped pioneer mobile billboards, vehicle wraps, and airport and event advertising, founded three ad agencies, and built and ran a national airport-parking platform online back when the internet was still new. If a surface could carry a message, I found a way to use it.

And when I wanted a home, I didn't just buy one — I built a 6,000 sq ft custom home from the ground up as my own general contractor, from demolition to move-in. Building is simply how I'm wired. (Read the build story →)

Then everything came down

By every measure, I had it all — a family, thriving businesses, a beautiful home. And then, over 2013 and 2014, I lost nearly all of it. It was the most humbling season of my life.

For a long time I believed I had built my life myself. That season taught me how quickly everything can be taken — and, in the middle of the loss, I found a faith and a fresh start I'd never had before. I stopped building for the applause. I started over with gratitude, and with a very different sense of why I do any of this.

A fresh start in Prescott

Arizona gave me a new beginning.

I came to Prescott in 2016, earned my real estate license in 2018, and remarried — my wife Reshel is the light of my life. And I began building again: a real estate practice, a short-term rental, and businesses run with today's AI tools. But this time it isn't about me. It's about providing for the people I love and genuinely helping the people I serve.

That's why I approach real estate the way I do — relationships over transactions, service over selling. I'd rather earn your trust and be your agent for life than win a quick deal. Do right by people, and the business takes care of itself.

"I don't see it as work. I see it as getting to the finished product — for you."

How I work

People first

Relationships over profit, always. I'd rather serve you well for years than close you once.

Honesty & directness

Straight answers, including the downside. No hype, no pressure — just the truth so you can decide.

Give first

I lead with value — real help, real information — before I ever ask for anything in return.

Lived experience

Forty years in marketing and a custom home built with my own hands. I've done the hard version, so you don't have to.
