Meet Orlando Realtor Doug Packard

A Refreshingly Different Approach

Orlando real estate agent Doug Packard started in this industry with a simple philosophy. Know your market… Know your clients…. Be more concerned about your clients’ needs than making a sale. This philosophy has been the key to his success as the Orlando area’s leading buyer’s agent. Doug will never tell you what you want to hear just to earn your business. He will, as your trusted advisor and consultant, tell you what you need to know in order to help you make smart and informed decisions. Doug is opinionated, and he won’t be shy about telling you if he thinks a home is overpriced, is a potential money-pit, or if you could do better elsewhere. This is an agent that truly cares about what happens to his clients, and you can sense that sincerity every step of the way.

Native Orlando Insight

In a magazine article written a couple of years ago, a writer said Doug seemed to have a sixth sense about the real estate market in Orlando. An extra sense? Well, that would be nice. But Doug would tell you his intuition about the Orlando real estate market is more a result of a lifetime in the area and 24 years of keen observation and intense study of the local real estate scene. When searching for the ideal home and community, it helps to use both intuition and intellect. Doug will help you with both. He’ll help you find properties that will tug at your heart, but at the same time they will make good sense.

Want to know the best schools for your children? The safest neighborhood for your family? The areas best for holding their value? The best lakes for water skiing (without alligators)? Doug has your answers. His in-depth local knowledge, his degrees in real estate and law, and his experience in building and remodeling dozens of Orlando homes give Doug’s clients a unique insight into the Orlando real estate market…... insights that only a home-grown agent can provide.

High-Tech With A Heart

Always at the cutting edge of change in the real estate industry, Doug helped introduce the concept of buyer’s agency to the Orlando real estate market in the early 90’s and was the first Orlando real estate agent to have an active web site. The use of technology has always been at the forefront of his real estate practice, but he has never lost sight of the fact that buying a home is a human experience. As a husband and father himself, Doug understands how important a home is to a family and he takes pride in being able to play a role in helping them find a place to lay down their roots.

Unparalleled market knowledge and excellent negotiation skills are reasons enough to select a real estate agent, but past clients will tell you they come back to Doug because of his sense of humor and his straight-talking, no-nonsense approach. A number of clients have actually taken the time to write about their experiences. Read about those here. You’ll see why the majority of his business is built on repeat clients and referrals.
