Real reviews from my Google Business Profile, quoted word for word.
As first time home buyers we are so fortunate to have been paired with Paul, his sound guidance, responsiveness and expertise helped us land the home of our dreams in a difficult market. We would have sat and waited too long to put in an offer had we not followed his advice. We had a lot of unknowns and each time one popped up Paul found answers SUPER quickly- even our insurance agent was impressed by his responsiveness. He did an amazing job helping us source reliable experts for the many inspections we had and was very impressive doing so on a short time frame. We are so grateful for all of Paul’s hard work, dedication, and negotiation skills. You can tell he's a people's person who loves what he does and is energized by the joy of helping people. Would recommend and would trust Paul again :) (He additionally got us some house warming gifts- included baby chickens! )

Paul is the best man to find you a new home! He'll do it quick and stress free, not pushy at all into buying a home. Out of all the Agents I have met buying multiple homes, he's definitely number #1. Really cares about finding your dream home that matches your need and comfort. He also loves his job which makes it enjoyable for everyone. He treats you like family and is always honest and humble with his recommendations. My experience was absolutely amazing and I will call him on my next purchase for sure. I highly recommend him. Thanks again for everything!

I’m convinced this is the best real estate agent in Ottawa!! Paul is not only gonna find you a home but he will become your friend as well. He’s so honest, determined, positive and willing to go above and beyond for his customers. He’s also always available and always picks up his phone. After finding his flyer on our door one day, we gave him a call then hired him to sell our house and find us a new one. The process was so flawless and stress free we couldn’t have asked for better. I’m 100% hiring him again next time i wanna move. I can’t recommend him enough!!
