At Guanaco Group, we understand that navigating the real estate world requires a unique blend of expertise, resilience, and profound local knowledge – qualities that mirror the remarkable guanaco, inspiring our name and ethos.
Who is the Guanaco?
The guanaco is a resilient and versatile wild camelid native to the diverse terrains of South America, from rugged Andean peaks to windswept Patagonian plains. Celebrated for their remarkable strength, resourcefulness, and social harmony, guanacos form tight-knit herds that support one another through any conditions, showcasing remarkable adaptability and vigilance.
Why the name "Guanaco"?

Just as the guanaco thrives in diverse landscapes, our team is built on a foundation of adaptability and resilience, symbolizing our commitment to navigating the dynamic real estate market with unwavering determination.

In the ever-shifting real estate market, our team's strength lies in our ability to adapt, strategize, and overcome challenges by crafting innovative strategies, ensuring that our clients' objectives are met, regardless of market fluctuations.

The Guanaco group could not have done a better job with the sale of our home in Parrish. The marketing strategy was spot on and the buyer was from out of state and made the purchase sight unseen! Hence, great pictures and social media exposure. Larry made the initial contact with us and then he and Pierre came out to see the home and we knew these were our people to trust. Timely communication with updates via Compass, texts, emails, and phone calls were all amazing. The whole deal was closed in less than a month with little to no stress. And it was enjoyable. Highly recommend.

Pierre and his group did a masterful job on every phase of selling my home. He developed a strategy to list, market, and prepare for showings! His 30+ years of experience showed as he assisted in virtual staging inside and landscaping outside. Many agents talk or “script” their abilities to sell, Pierre and the Compass group articulate the how, when & why! They found a buyer in 3 days of Listing and still had the Open House the day after! He stayed involved everyday until closing, 30 days after being listed! I feel like I gained a friend and sold my house! Thank you Pierre and family! I recommend him highly to serve your real estate needs!

Pierre did a wonderful job helping guide us in selling our home in a very difficult market. He has a great response time, and was up front and courteous with all our interactions. He was also realistic, while being understanding. He coordinated the sale while we were out of state, and have NO REGRETS going through him.

Paula Shaheen is an amazing professional. She has helped me move twice into a rental apartment, first, and then purchase a home for my family within a one year time period, moving from New York to Florida (which is already stressful). Recently, she helped a friend get her home and is currently helping my extended family. Needless to say she is here whenever we need her, over the last 7 years, giving her best, and not just the minimum. She makes the entire process doable and is all that you would want in a real estate professional, knowledgeable, pro-active, responsive, patient, and concerned about your needs. You can't go wrong with Paula.

Paula was great to work with! She stayed in constant communication with myself and the buyer after I picked up the loan, and was very responsive in facilitating getting HOA information which was needed for the loan approval process. I look forward to working with Paula again soon!

Paula was easy to work with and made home buying easy. When my lender denied my condo HOA and would not secure my loan. Paula quickly found another lender that got the job done earlier than the expected closing date.

Paula has helped my family make the big life changing decision to move to Florida permanently from the North East. Even in the planning phases, Paula has advised us on which county, town, and/or neighborhood would be optimal for our family, since the children would be attending school there. Paula has informed us on the importance of what it entails to purchase a home in Florida regarding Home Owner’s insurance Hazard/Flood, potential roof repair, installing hurricane shutters, city/well water in addition to how much we can expect on our electric bill. She gave us pointers of how much dedication having a pool can be and most of all to make sure that we stay on top of Pest Control. During the purchase process, Paula was able to communicate with all the key individuals in the transaction even though we opted for a new construction build through a large Florida based builder. She communicated with the Sales Reps and the Project Manager to make sure that things were moving according to the timeline. We had experience a lot of hiccups on behalf of the builder and the county being able to complete the permits, utilities, and source the materials in a seamless fashion. Just when I thought, I had a good grasp of what is to come certain questions and scenarios would arise and Paula was available to walk me through the process regarding the contract and financing. In the end, Paula was able to see us walk through the home on the final day and be there when we picked up our keys. I highly recommend Paula when you are making a decision for a realtor. I think many people have a great personality to be a realtor but not all realtors that I have encountered in my life are excellent in legal and financial matters. It is important that pick a person that has not only the personality and can be great at the art of negotiation but also a strong analytical knowledge of the whole process. I hope that Paula can make your Florida dreams come true as we are thrilled to finally call Florida our full-time home.
