Paul Cheema taught us to be patient. We knew would find the right home. And with Paul, we did. We had been with an agent who treated us like a dollar sign, an agent that dropped us because we were looking at too many properties. We were lucky when we found Paul. He came to us by recommendation of our friends. He is strong at relationship-building. He knows he’s in the people business, whether dealing with us, other agents, or other professionals. From the outset of our relationship Paul took time to educate us. He visited our house and sat down with us and explained our rights and responsibilities and his rights and responsibilities. As first-time buyers, we had a lot to learn, and without having someone explain the ins and outs of the many decisions you have to make on the home-buying journey, you can set yourself up for being taken advantage of. Paul is excellent with the fine details of making this extraordinary buying decision, one we had been working on for three years. From negotiation to advice on closing, to providing suggestions for high quality after-purchase services such as duct cleaning, movers, and renovation experts, Paul stood out. Beyond his contacts, his background in legal matters and his certification as a broker gave him the ability to both see the big picture with regard to market trends, down to the myriad minutia involved in transitioning to being a satisfied homeowner. We always felt comfortable around Paul. More than merely answering questions, we always felt like he had our back, providing us courteous reminders of important steps and deadlines. He is a man of faith and devotion and, I might add, he has a warm sense of humour. He was great with our children and our needs as a family. “You’re not just buying a home,” he once said, “you’re buying a neighbourhood.” Thank you, Paul. We recommend Paul Cheema to help you buy or sell your home highly and without hesitation.
