We used Paul in May 2015 to purchase a new home from a builder. This was our first home purchase as a couple, so naturally we were very excites. Paul was great the first week, showing us the options, negotiating with the builder, so although we didn't need to have an agent to buy from a builder directly, we decided to use him (and give him some commission) because he just seemed so great. Well, before the ink could even dry on the purchase agreement (he didn't even stick around for the entire meeting), we never heard from him again. We e-mails him at least 6-8 times, called continuously, and he never got back to us (not ONCE). Luckily we were able to deal with the builder directly, but knowing that he was making money off of our purchase and not speaking to us at all was probably the most frustrating process. To this day, we never heard from him again. Not between purchase and closing, not during the closing process, and not after the closing. Not even a single 'congratulations'. He was horrible to deal with, and we are looking at bringing our concerns to the real-estate board of Ontario that oversees agents' licenses. - Mel
Paul was an absolute nightmare to deal with. He showed us a couple listings for rent, and we asked to submit an application. He neglected to tell us that the apartment had already been leased. We asked to apply for another property, and he stopped responding to us altogether. He told us to stop emailing him because he gets "over 300 a day", but he screened all of our calls. He emailed to say he would phone back, but never did. - 403 470 4967
We could never get in contact with him after signing the listing agreement. We were left anxious and stressed and when we finally got in-touch with him and told him we were not happy he stated he is busy and won't waste his time or ours. That was it. We requested cancellation of the listing to go with another agent and of course we could never get in contact with him to have the cancellation documentation signed or to get our keys back. He lacked professionalism and communication skill. If you want to be treated decently I would not recommend Paul. - H Kim

When I first read Paul's reviews, I thought of giving him the benefit of the doubt. WRONG decision. Paul lost my trust, he kept important details out of the transaction to my disadvantage. I would never deal with him again. - John Leroux
