Testimonials
"Hi Paul and Doug, We really had a positive experience with you guys. I tried to warn Doug that we were ready, and I'm not sure he understood how ready we were. It was fast and furious, but, working together, we pulled it off. Thanks to all!!! Larry was great! All in all, very positive feedback. Best of luck to all of you. Many thanks, again and again, for helping us. We'll keep in touch."

"Paul did an excellent job helping us find and purchase the perfect home in Union Pier. He has insights about the Southwest Michigan real estate market that we were unable to find with any other agent. He follows up very quickly on voice and e-mails and his Website is superior to any real estate site on the Internet. We would use Paul concerning any future purchases in Southwest Michigan."

"My wife and I very recently worked with Paul to find a getaway home for our growing family. Paul is very knowledgeable of the whole Harbor Country area and helped us quickly understand specific location pros / cons and property valuations. He was a quick email or phone call away throughout the buying process. This was the smoothest real estate transaction we’ve ever been a part of. We bought a wonderful property in Lakeside that we’re thrilled about. Paul was professional, responsive and an effective Buyer’s Agent through negotiations and close. He also exceeded expectations by assisting with local contacts and service providers. I’m certain we will stay in touch as we get settled into the community. I would recommend Paul to anyone looking to buy�real estate�in Southwest Michigan."

"Paul recently represented us in purchasing a home. He has great indepth knowldege of the local market and a solid understanding of all the properties he showed us. His approach to finding our family a home was informative and focused. Combine these factors with his efficient and effective handling every step of the process and we can easily say he made finding and purchasing a home a great experience."

"With the help from Paul, my wife and I just purchased a home in Union Pier. Paul demonstrated knowledge, patience and honesty throughout the entire process. As if that were not enough, he makes himself available after the purchase is complete. I strongly recommend the services of Paul Zubrys."

"Above and beyond the call of duty. Paul’s personality and approach made the entire experience of buying a second home fun and easy. He goes above and beyond the call of duty by helping you integrate into the community. I’ve got the home I love and a new friend in the process."

"Paul’s style of doing business can best be�described as brutally honest. He will tell you what he really thinks, not what he thinks you want to hear. I’ve purchased, developed, and sold real estate all over the country. Paul is the only broker I would use in the midwest."

"Best website for lakefront property in Michigan. Nothing else is even close. As a buying agent,�Paul’s combined level of knowledge, expertise and integrity is refreshingly high in an industry which seems to have many agents that lack all three. He is the only buying broker I would use in Michigan."

"Paul represented us to purchase a home in Union Pier. We found him through his excellent web site. In my opinion, there is no better web site for buyers, looking in the Harbor Country area. His information is comprehensive, accurate and focused on buyers. Paul did an excellent job of listening to us and what we wanted before he met with us for our first (and only) tour of homes (this was important to us because we didn’t want to spend a lot of time looking at homes). We saw 9 homes on a Saturday afternoon. 7 of the 9 homes were right in our price range and met all of the criteria that we had communicated to Paul. The other 2 homes were nice to see as a comparison. In the end, we loved 3 of the homes that Paul showed us and made an offer on our favorite. Within 10 days of meeting Paul for the first time, we signed a contract for our new home in Union Pier. Throughout the next 3 weeks, before closing, Paul was outstanding. He served as our representative at all stages of the pre-closing process. And, he called us periodically to remind us of important issues that we may have overlooked (like bringing a certified check to closing). Paul’s knowledge of the Harbor Country area and his complete commitment to his clients make him an oustanding buyer’s representative. We highly recommend him. We’ve been in our Union Pier house now for almost 7 months and we have loved every weekend there (we’re Chicago residents). I’ve bought and sold several homes in the past 10 years and, this is the first time that I’ve liked a broker enough to take the time to write a testimonial."

"After unpleasant experiences with more than a few real estate agents, we finally contact Paul. I regret we didn’t contact him initially. We’ve already been using his excellent website and newsletter for up to date information, but unfortunately, we always called the broker whose name was on the For Sale sign whenever we drove around Michigan, previewing property. We will never make that mistake again! Even though we've purchased and sold several properties in the past [Illinois], we never appreciated how beneficial it would be to have a real estate agent who was working on our behalf. Paul's approach was unlike any we've ever encountered before. I wholeheartedly agree with the comment by TD. He is brutally honest, even when what he was conveying was difficult to hear. In the end, we are confident we made a great investment and it was a opportunity we would not have even been aware of had we not contacted Paul. I enthusiastically recommend Paul Zubrys to anyone in need of a Michigan real estate broker. Don’t waste valuable time. Call Paul first."

How long does it take to hear back from the seller's agent?

Asked Tue Jul 22 2008, 13:49 by jay  -  66062  -  Home Buying  -  8 answers
Paul Zubrys answered:
The only sure way to avoid this situation is to present all offers to the seller yourself. You have the right to do so as long as it is arranged by the seller's agent. I never show the offer to the seller's agent until the presentation, either in person, a conference call, or online using Go to Meeting or similar service provider. - Tue Jul 22 2008, 15:12
