Testimonials
"My husband, Allen, and I saw a house we liked in a neighborhood we were interested in buying. The house had Paul's number on the sign so we gave him a call. Paul came instantly after we called. We did not like the house. When we had gotten home that afternoon after seeing that house, my husband and I discussed having Paul as our realtor. We were impressed! To name a few of his attributes: polite, knowledgeable, professional, well dressed, ambitious, eager, (and many more). We bought our new house with Paul as our realtor. Paul also sold our current house. We were very happy with Paul as our realtor. He went the "extra" mile to insure that both selling and buying our homes went smooth and effortless for Allen and me. He was considerate of my night shift work schedule and Allen's heavy work schedule. All we did was find the house (first one I looked at), apply for our mortgage, and sign the papers at closing. Paul did the rest! Paul even came to our closing! Paul is not only our Realtor but we both consider him our friend. Thank You Paul! Please feel free to use us a reference. Sincerely, Allen and Dee Dee Butler"

"Mr. Welden was very professional with my wife & me. He started by sending us pictures of homes through the internet. He helped us step by step in acquiring our new home. He also helped with the procedures and knows about buying a home. I am very grateful for his help. I have talked to other Real Estate people, but Paul was the most patient with me. Sometimes when we would meet & discuss homes, he would answer all my questions, but as soon as he would leave, I would call him right away (sometimes 3-4 times) because I would have more questions & he would answer all of them & never made me feel like I was a burden. He was very patient with me. I hope that Paul can use this letter as advertisement, because as far as I am concerned, he knows Real Estate & how to take care of people. I will always keep him in my prayers. Sincerely, Antonio M. Chavez, Sr. Maria Chavez"

He has assisted us with numerous Real Estate transactions(both buying and selling), all with favorable outcomes. He takes great pride in his work, while displaying a high level of integrity, responsibility, ambition, & enthusiasm.

In addition, his positive attitude, marketing sensitivity, attention both to detail and quality of product delivered and his ability to communicate effectively with his clients and with the buying or selling agent all contributed significantly to our real estate success. We recommend him to our friends & business associates when they require the services of a professional Realtor, and we will continue to call upon his guidance for our future Real Estate endeavors.

"I am writing to convey my overall experience with my REALTOR®, Paul Welden. During our transaction Paul was extremely patient and understanding. It was a very hard decision trying to decide which property would be the best fit for my family. We looked at various properties and he never pressured me into choosing something that would not be best for my family. He worked with me for about 3 months helping me find the home of my dreams. Paul's customer service skills were very attentive and he was extremely fast to return my calls whenever I called him with a question. When Paul did return my calls in an expedient manner, it did help the process flow very seamless. He also was great at calming all of my fears as I/we got closer to my closing date. I would highly recommend Paul Welden for all of your Real Estate needs. Sincerely, Judy Finn"

"Dear Paul, It’s been a couple of months now since we found my condo, its so great to be a homeowner. You have helped me accomplish a dream of mine, how do you thank someone for that! I have to say without your help, keeping me calm and letting me know how the process all worked, answering all of my questions and returning all of my phone calls, well you made the process so easy to get through. You are not just my realtor but someone I consider a friend, and I want to thank you for all the special attention. Always, Ronnette Freitas"

"The purpose of my letter is to offer my opinion of the real estate service provided by Paul Welden. I want to highly recommend Paul for his outstanding service. During the search for our home, we looked at many areas with other Realtors. The market was swift and we experienced several disappointing contracts with agents that didn't measure up. Luckily, we found Paul. Throughout the entire process, Paul was timely, conscientious, honest, considerate, knowledgeable and very professional. When we viewed neighborhoods he would open his computer and verify the price, check comps, and answer our questions. I always felt like I was his only client and my business was important to him. From beginning, middle and through the close of escrow, Paul has offered outstanding service. Thank You, paul. We appreciate your hard work and will not hesitate to recommend you to anyone with real estate needs. Sincerely, Cynthia Bustamante"

"To whom it may concern: During the month of July 2007, I started the journey of a home search here in the valley. I interviewed with teams of realtors in regards to what might be my future home. I decided to work with Paul Welden based on the upfront information that was presented to me and the belief that he would help me get into the home that I was anxiously pursuing. He guided me through the process; He had back up assistance for me when I needed to view properties. He kept open lines of communications with me and parties involved including Financial Institutions. Because of the type of property I purchased, the process was somewhat longer. Paul was there to help every step of the way with updates. He was present at the closing at Security Title to oversee the paperwork and available for answering questions that might arise. Once the funding process was completed I took delivery of property keys, delivered in hand by Paul. Paul worked hard for me and I highly recommend him. I consider Paul a respectable, honorable team player with your best interest in mind. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me. Satisfied Client, Jesus Ortiz"

"To Whom It May Concern: Meeting Paul was purely by chance. I had done my research, got approved for a loan and knew what I wanted. I called the number on the window of a Condo that I wanted to look at---Paul is the one that answered. He made arrangements to meet with me that day and I have been grateful ever since. Paul took the time to get to know both my daughter and myself. He found out exactly what was important to me and walked me through every step of the process. When we went looking at Condos, Paul was very patient with my questions and allowed me to take my time. I found two properties that I was on the fence about. Paul advised me to sleep on it over the weekend. I am very thankful that I did. Based on the knowledge and guidance of Paul I found the perfect place for my daughter and myself. We have been in our new home for a couple months and couldn't’t be happier. This was the best home buying experience that I have been through. Paul was always on time and treated my daughter and I like we were the only customers he had. I have the highest level of respect for Paul and would never recommend or go to anyone else for any real estate transactions. Sincerely, Amy and Mandy Reimer"

"My husband, Patrick Toscino, and I were thinking of buying a house to call our home last August of 2007. So he searched for houses for sale on the internet and that's how we found Paul Welden. We finally decided to contact him through emails and he immediately set up an appointment to meet us personally. Hesitant as we were because of our past encounters with other realtors who were very insistent, we decided to see him at his office in Mesa, AZ. The first meeting was very comfortable and we didn't feel we had to commit to something we weren't so sure of. He interviewed us on what exactly we were looking for and what our price range was. Then we found ourselves looking over listings that pleased us and motivated us to continue our search for our dream house. Unlike other realtors who tend to push and even pressure their clients into making bad decisions, Paul was not after his own interest but wanted us to find our home and be happily satisfied with our choice. He is a very reliable and efficient person whom one can depend on. He impressed us very much by being very professional and ethical, considering we were very choosy and careful with our search. Indeed he patiently guided us until we finally found our dream house...one that we now call our own home sweet home. We can never be thankful enough for his outstanding service, genuine attitude and warm personality. We strongly recommend Paul Welden to be your realtor, for with him you can't expect for anything less than what you deserve. He will help you realize your dream of finding your own home and be happy with it. Respectfully Yours, Patrick and Sarah Toscino"

"My name is Debra Brewer & I wrote this letter to recommend Paul Welden to be your REALTOR®. When you are buying a house, and things are going well, it is important that you have a good REALTOR®. When that home buying experience suddenly turns south, and you find yourself in unexpected waters, it is crucial that you have Paul Welden as your REALTOR®, a person who you know is looking out for you. I started the journey of buying my first home with a different REALTOR® other than Paul and a different house. However, after I put in the offer, I soon realized that this other REALTOR® had her commission, rather than my happiness or best interest at heart. I friend referred me to Paul Welden, and he soon helped me find my dream home. Everything was going smoothly, with a few of the normal bumps in the road, until the day I was supposed to go and sign the paperwork, when we discovered that the mortgage company lied to me. Luckily, I had Paul there to hold my hand and help me find a new mortgage. He was able to work with the new mortgage broker, the seller, and myself, keeping everyone happy and eventually still enabling me to buy my house! Every step of the way, Paul was there, answering my questions, supplying information, and serving my needs in whatever way I saw fit. I know that if I had been with any other REALTOR®, it is very likely that I would not own my dream home. Paul always gave me choices for how to proceed, instead of deciding for me, but also gave me the expertise of his advice of how it is often done, or the consequences of any action. Paul is great with people and obviously loves his job, helping people buy homes. He works hard, and I never felt that I was a bother or that he was too busy for my, even when I was calling multiple times a day. He was always there to serve me and help me every step of the way. He is upbeat and light hearted, but can be serious and informative when appropriate. It is over a year later, and I have already referred some of my friends to Paul, and will continue doing so as long as I live here in Phoenix. Paul has continued to stay in contact with me, going far beyond what I ever expected from a REALTOR®. When I had a roof issue after 9 months of owning my home, he was there, looking up information, and telling me who to call. As a first time home buyer, this has really helped me when I didn’t know what to do! I know that whatever problems or questions I might have about my home, I can always call Paul and he will be there for me. I highly recommend Paul Welden to you. He is an honest, straightforward, and loyal REALTOR®, who will truly look out for your best interest and help you get the best deal for your house. Thanks Paul, for everything!! Debra Brewer Happy home owner!"

Paul Welden answered:
Hi Ron,

That property is NOT in foreclosure. It was purchased by a California couple when it was a foreclosure on 8/22/08. They bought it as a lender owned property for $240,000 cash. And it is not currently actively marketed for sale.

As Scott from New Hampshire suggested, if you are looking for a home to buy, you will be best served by working with a buyer's broker, and I just happen to be such a person.

I invite you to contact me for further assistance.

Buying a small house in Tempe!

Paul Welden answered:
Hi Ismail,

The cheapest house for sale in Tempe is listed for $99,900. There are other choices, such as condos, town homes & patio homes, that start at $48,900, but a traditional single family detached home is a very good option for Tempe. It is a good idea to buy a home especially in Tempe and if you know that you'll be here for at least 4 years, and think if the tax benefits that you'll get! On the other hand, if you were only going to be here for 2 years, I would advise you to rent.

I invite you to contact me for more detailed information and assistance.

Paul Welden answered:
Hi Patti,

Yes there are multiple ways to buy a home with no money down & many lenders are doing them, but for some reason, if that doesn't work, then there are loans that require as little as 1% down payment. My point is this ... you have many options available.

Contact me and let me help you.

Paul Welden answered:
HI Randy,

You will NOT be able to sell you home as a short sale to any of your relatives ... period. Also, trying to influence the appraised value of your home is not only illegal & can constitute mortgage fraud, but it is UNETHICAL. Besides, the only person that chooses the appraiser is the buyer's lender. What you want to do cannot be done. If you want to sell your home as a short sale, you will need short sale professional.

Paul Welden answered:
Hi Phyllis,

There may not be a lien holder on this property because the current owners have owned this property since 1976. The property taxes are $1,551.44 but may decrease by about 5% next year.

Let me know if there is anything else I can for you.
