Meet Your Agent

Hi, I'm Stephen Paragone.

I'm a Central Florida real estate agent — but I'm not your typical one. I grew up in California, spent years as a Hollywood VFX artist working on films and TV shows, and made the leap to Florida with my wife Rebecca and our two redheaded daughters. No regrets. Not even one second's worth.

I know exactly what it feels like to research a state from your couch, stress about the move, and wonder if you're making the right call — because I've lived it. That experience is what drives how I work. No fluff, no hype, no sales pitch. Just real data, real neighborhoods, and real advice.

I post new videos every Saturday covering Central Florida neighborhoods, new construction, and everything you need to know before you make the move. When you're ready to talk, I'm here — days, nights, and weekends.

The guy does not slow down. Ever. When he says he's going to do something, he gets it done. No excuses. He cares about people, he listens, and he doesn't treat real estate like just another deal. He treats it like it matters — because to his clients, it does. If you're buying or selling, you want someone who's going to hustle for you. Stephen's your guy.

Stephen is hard-working, genuinely cares about people's goals, and brings a positive, supportive presence to every interaction. He makes things feel easy and stress-free, listens closely, and always follows through. Whether you're buying, selling, or just exploring, I'd recommend Stephen without hesitation.
