Testimonials

We were fortunate to have Paul as our real estate agent. What we like about him is that he looks at the house as if he were going to buy it. He knows how to spot a good value and how to prioritize renovations that will add value to the property. His broad knowledge of construction gives him insights into structural and foundation issues, plumbing and electrical, and carpentry and finish work. Plus, he is ready to share his network of contacts of contractors, home inspectors and engineers. We couldn’t be happier in our new home.

Paul and Lisa helped sell my parents' house after their death. Their work was outstanding at every step. They picked exactly the right price point for the listing. They helped bring the house into marketable condition, finding the right workers and contractors to take care of all the little problems, and a couple of significant ones. They helped with the extra challenges of selling a non-owner-occupied house, including resolving insurance issues after a hailstorm. They kept me informed about all the relevant details at every stage of the process. I've worked with many professionals in my career, and can't recommend them highly enough.

Paul used his many talents to help us find and buy a house in a neighborhood we have wanted to move back into for some time. The house needed a lot of work, but Paul shared his vision of what the house could be. His enthusiasm for the project and its possibilities was contagious and inspiring. Paul always provided us with a range of options for how different parts of the project could be accomplished, from very cost-effective to more elaborate. He was very easy to work with and was always willing to explain what would or wouldn’t work and why. We value Paul’s knowledge and experience. His craftsmanship and range of skills made the project flow smoothly from beginning to end. We wouldn’t and couldn’t have done it without him. We are very happy with our new home.

Working with Paul has been such a pleasure. He listened carefully to what we wanted and helped us weigh the pros and cons of several properties. His construction expertise really helped us understand the condition of the homes and think creatively about the possibilities for renovating them. He helped us navigate the financing maze as well. We’re so pleased with the home we ended up buying, and Paul continues to be a great resource for the inevitable maintenance projects that come up.

Paul was a wonderful real estate agent for us, capturing my dream and going the extra mile to help me find the perfect location. His experience in remodeling allowed him to point out where there was potential and what might be bigger problems than we realized. When it came to building the greenhouse, Paul did the research and created the design. He offered me the opportunity to have as much input as I wanted but also carried on when I did not know enough or have the time to be useful. It’s easy to entrust him with decisions.

Paul has helped me purchase and sell multiple homes over last few years. His extensive background in home construction and remodeling allow him to offer exceptional advice and support to his clients. He has an amazing sense of which homes are solid buys and which ones are better passing by. He is honest, direct, down to earth and goes above and beyond with every client to make sure your needs are met and often exceeded. I would highly recommend him to anyone, anytime, in any situation.

Paul was a dream to work with. He acted as our transaction agent, meaning he was representing both seller and buyer (we were the buyers). He was completely fair in dealing with both sides, and we felt that we could trust him 100%. He flips houses himself, so he knew a lot about the structure of the home and had advice for how we could fix things we wanted done but didn't want to ask the sellers to do. It was like we got to walk around with an inspector, instead of a real estate agent, every time we visited the house. Now that we have closed, Paul has offered to remain in contact and continues to offer advice whenever we ask for it. He is a wealth of knowledge, and we feel lucky to have had the opportunity to work with him.

Working with Paul and Lisa was a first-time home buyer's dream come true! Their knowledge, patience and advocacy are unending. It was very reassuring to navigate the home buying process with them and they are my realtors for life!

-Caleb Kropft

Evergreen, CO

I have bought and sold many homes and Lisa & Paul are the most helpful I have ever used. Paul’s building and remodeling expertise was a great addition as we reviewed homes. Lisa was great in the selection process and communication from beginning to end. We are new to the area and they were recommended by friends who were just as happy as us on the experience.
