Great Short Sale Negotiator

Paul assisted one of my clients as a short-sale negotiator. His professionalism, expertise and attention to detail were impressive. I found his attitude to be refreshing, and he responded to emails and calls in record time. Paul managed to get short-sale lender approval 20 days after seller accepte...d an offer, and the escrow closed on time 30 days later. My client has expressed to me how much she appreciates all he did to assist her with the process.

The Man on Point

Paul assisted my family with a short sale, and he saved us from disaster! As a man, he is genuine, intelligent, and full of raw courage. His efforts have given my family a peace and stability that we have not felt for quite some time. He responds to emails quickly and is absolutely transparent with i...nformation as well. As I went to work each day during this difficult time, it felt great to have a warrior like Paul defending us. This Independence Day will be uniquely special one for my family, and we have Paul to thank for that. If you have to go to battle, you want Paul on point. Thanks from the bottom of my heart Paul!

Paul Seals the Deal!

Paul was fantastic, thorough, and relentless, everything we needed to make our short-sale happen. His expertise was unmatched and his efforts were boundless. We truly appreciate all his efforts on our behalf.

Paul Stansen equals RESULTS!!!

As a Real Estate agent who has experience with closing several "Short Sales" I found myself about to lose my first short sale transaction. It was discovered that there was a $42,000 judgment against the property, the buyer decided to back out, the property was scheduled for a "Trustee Sale" within tw...o weeks and the lender refused to grant me an extension. As a last resort, I swallowed my pride and called Paul Stansen, who had done a presentation several months earlier at our office. I did not hold out much hope that even Mr. Stansen could negotiate a successful short sale transaction with the seemingly insurmountable amount of obstacles that I had asked him to leap over! Not only did he negotiate a settlement of $2,000 on the original $42,000 judgment, the Trustee Sale was postponed "As a direct result of Paul Stansen's track record of Professionalism" a quote from the lender's negotiator, we were able to close a success transaction after only 3 weeks of Mr. Stansen's involvement. Thank you Paul Stansen!!!

Paul was invaluable!

Paul was called in to assist our family in the 11th hour of a declining situation. Paul was decisive and aggressive in our defense. He was able to get through to the bank long after we thought any possibility of a short sale was lost, and after some jumping through hoops, he pushed our sale throug...h. His service was invaluable to our small family and I would recommend him with the highest of confidence to anyone facing a challenge with the banks.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
