Paul Stansen is a true professional with great knowledge and expertise

Paul handled my short sale transaction from beginning to end with the utmost professionalism expertise and was able to complete this transaction with the bank from beginning to end in 75 days which is a record time. There was a minimum of inconvenience because he knows who to contact at the bank, h...ow to negotiate with the senior negotiator, and knows how to close. He also did all the negotiating on the sale by reading the offer and writing the counter offers which included all that was necessary for a smooth deal. He was in continuous contact with me, was to the point clear and concise so I knew what to do when. In addition he is very helpful because he is clear about the process and is excellent in conveying the necessary information in an objective way.

Excellent Professional

Paul is an exceptional professional. I have been consistently impressed with his ability to handle every challenge thrown his way without waiver or hesitation. He is tough, fair and reliable. I would highly recommend Paul to anyone looking to make informed decisions and take action regarding matte...rs of real estate.

Paul is super responsive, organized & very thorough. He's great at what he does & he can handle complex short sales. I would definitely recommend working with him.

Horrible experience

I hired Paul to help me with a loan modification and he failed to turn the documents such as bank statements, pay stubs etc. The bank called me and said that they had not received any documents. When I called Paul I would leave a message and he took 3 days to call me back. I asked him about the docum...ents and he jumped down my throat like I did something wrong. The bank continued to call me and say that they had only received a portion of the paperwork. Needless to say I am about to lose my home and he will not return my calls. Now I need an attorney to sue my attorney. I cannot say anymore because I am so angry that I would say something unprofessional and my post would be removed. DO NOT GIVE PAUL STANSEN A DIME! RUN!

Outstanding Service!

Mr. Stansen has been a huge help in helping my clients resolve very challenging circumstances. He is upfront about his fees, services and is able to layout the options available and explain the most likely outcomes. I am often amazed at the promptness of his correspondence and ability to facil...itate the most advantageous outcome.
