Dear Paul,

 

In October 2009, I interviewed several of the top West Side Realtors to list my home near Arbutus and West 61st Avenue, in Vancouver, BC.  Out of all of the proposals I received, your package was the most complete, and  comparables were the most accurate.  I decided to hire you as my listing agent.

 

The sale of my home came at the most difficult time for a seller in the current market situation.  The real estate market had just encountered a major correction on the downside, particularly for higher priced homes and the West side area.

 

Many of his competitors, tried to convince me to list the house for $300,000 lower than my expectations were.  I believe those agents were trying to list my house lower, to get a quick sale in a tough market.  I valued my home, and did not agree. Without telling Paul my experience, his proposal on the list price was in line with mine, and I immediately hired him.

 

Paul listed the house for the price I requested.  He devoted his focus to my property, held open houses consistently, and aggressively marketed the area with ad campaigns in mail outs, and the local newspapers.

 

The sale of my home was also very difficult, as it was a result of my divorce.  This was heartbreaking for me, as it involved my children, and a home in which I was attached to, and had many fond memories.

Not only was the financial stress over-whelming, but I was dealing with a tremendous amount of emotional stress involved with the sale of the house.  As in any divorce, communication was difficult at times for all of us.  Paul had to deal with many issues involving the sale of the house between my ex-husband and I.  There were times, when I had to meet with Paul and my emotions were broken down and I was in tears. 

 

Not only did Paul act professionally, he acted personally. He always offered his friendship in the process, should I need it. He offered a shoulder, he wasn’t aggressive at inappropriate times, and I truly felt his motives were to work to the best of his efforts for me.  He proved to me, it was my best interests he was looking out for.

 

Paul sold my home within two months of the list date for a price I was quite satisfied with. He also added many beneficial features to the closing details and the contract. Again, for my benefit, and beyond his call of duty as a Realtor.

 

Thank you Paul for all you have done for me in the sale of my house. I highly recommend that anyone whom is selling their home in difficult times, to use you.  I look forward to recommending your services in the future.

 

Yours truly,

Catherine Jones

    Pleasure to work with!
    I've had the pleasure of working with Paul Toffoli and seeing him in action. Yes, Paul is experienced, knowledgeable, and professional. But what really sets Paul apart is his genuine caring and compassion. Paul takes the time to sit down to really listen and learn about his clients needs. he follows up with frequent contact, giving shrewd advice and calm support throught the negotiation process. He keeps his eye on the ball. As for customer service, Paul really goes the extra mile. It's not every day that someone with an MBA degree climbs into a bathtub to fix plumbing with vaseline! For an innovative realtor with brains and a great big heart, Paul is your man.

    Satisfied Seller!
    I wanted to thank you, and let you know that we couldn't be happier with how things worked out. We were so happy to get top price! I was impressed with your professionalism and attention to detail throughout the inspections, the offer presentations, as well as being very courteous to our tenant, making sure that he was comfortable with viewing times. You offered excellent advice along the way and helped us to feel comfortable and in control. When we received the bids, your were able to explain the pros and cons of each one very clearly so that we could understand them. You responded promptly on any request and kept us informed of the numbers of people viewing the apartment and their comments. Again, I would like to thank you and let you know I would recommend you highly to anyone.

    "Diligent and Professional"
    I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the diligent work and professional service you provided during the course of my recent purchase. The work you put into determining exactly what kind of property I was looking for and then finding it made the whole process a stress-free experience. I also appreciated your assistance in sourcing all of the necessary strata minutes and documentation that I required to make my final decision. Your level of customer service and negotiation was exemplary and I would recommend you as an agent that looks after his clients and works towards finding them (the) best property at the best possible price.
