I would very highly recommend Paul to anyone. His persistence and positive attitude are what got us this home. I have no doub...

Paul Swanson is a master at what he does. He knows the market and what needs to be accomplished to sell a home. I had some definite challenges and he assisted professionally and with expertise. Paul was my second realtor and I definitely picked a winner. He worked hard and was always available yet sensitive to the fact that I had a home-based office. I always had sufficient notice before...

Paul is great to work with. He listens to what you want and need, and delivers. He is flexible and makes himself available based on the client schedule. He is very knowledgeable about the market and was a pleasure to work with.

For those considering - Paul Swanson is incredible! He helped us buy the most incredible home. This was our first home and experience buying anything this large and significant and he helped us understand every part of the process, had phenomenal and trustworthy partners for financing, legal help (even down to handymen) and was overall so responsive and communicative! I think I talked to...

Paul was always there every step of the way via phone calls, texting and email. He found us the perfect home in the neighborhood we wanted to stay in at a great price. When we hit a few road blocks at the end with the sellers, he proved to be a true professional and keep the deal together. Thanks again Paul for all your efforts and hard work. We look forward to being your neighbors and g...

Paul Swanson is a name that I came across in a mail post-card. Ironically, I saved his business card which was so valuable and important in my meeting with Paul. Paul Swanson is an asset to Baird-Warner and an outstanding real-estate agent . He is very detailed, knowledgeable, professional and very pleasant to work in selling a home. Paul is very prompt in his communication and takes...

From our initial meeting Paul 'Got It'. Our family has lived in our home for 8 years and in Park Ridge for 20 years previous. We were first referred to Paul 8 months prior to our listing date. We explained our dreams to move to Austin, TX, and our plan to list in 6 months. Paul was able to help guide us, and along and with our combined dedication to making it happen we had the house read...

I have worked with Paul on numerous deals, he really cares about his clients and he will do everything and anything he can to help them accomplish their real estate goals.

I had the pleasure of working with Paul on the sale of a home for an estate. Total professional. He stayed on top of every aspect of the listing and throughout the transaction and always kept everything on track. He made great recommendations to he Seller. Through the years, I've worked with many agents. I told Paul that if I were ever to list a home or recommend someone tha...

Paul did a superb job of helping us sell my parent's unique house. He is dependable, knowledgeable, and friendly. His recommendations regarding personnel for staging and legal help were excellent-I'd work with any of them again in a heartbeat. He did a great job of advising me when then negotiations with the eventual seller bogged down. Paul was available at anytime to answer question...

My husband and I had known Paul cordially for at least 5 years prior to selling our home with him. When we first moved from the city to Park Ridge, we used an online app to help us buy. This time around we knew we needed an actual person; someone who was always available and experienced that could help us not only sell our home but purchase a new home. We chose to work with Paul beca...

Paul was our agent in the sale of my mother’s house. He was invaluable in the process of cleaning up the house, fixing some major items that needed to be addressed and selling the home in a thorough but timely matter. The market knowledge he provided gave us a feel for the “fixer upper” value of the home. He handled the bids, guided us to the best offer and took on the issues the i...

Paul was an excellent realtor throughout the entire process. He was there for us from our initial phone call when we first expressed interest in buying a house until the day we closed on our new home. As first time home buyers, we appreciated that Paul never told us what to do but instead asked us the right questions so we could make the best decisions. His expertise in the field was an...

After several efforts in trying to sell our condo, my wife and I were a bit disheartened and not sure what direction to take. The condo was in good shape, great neighborhood and locations with many nearby perks, it didn't make sense. We took a little from real estate market. One day, my mechanic and a very good friend of mine for 20 years recommended Paul. He espoused his honesty and i...

Very professional and willing to carry us along every step and explained the key details as expected. Paul and Suzi as a team delivered value in a professional and non invasive manner.

This was only the second time we either bought or sold a house in 51 years. Didn't know what to expect... only remembered problems described by friends, colleagues etc. Well... the support and expertise demonstrated by all the Baird & Warner folks, especially by our agent Paul Swanson, made this a good experience. All the bases were covered and it turned out we had little to worry abo...

Paul recognized and was respectful of the trying times facing me as a recent widow. He was very considerate of my time and when he needed signatures or information, he was fully prepared with the questions to ask and with explanations to assist me in making the best decision for me. When paperwork required my signature, he brought everything he needed, with the pages easily marked. ...

Very professional approach and always there when you need something taken care of.

Paul Swanson was recommended to me by a colleague and I would recommend him to others. He stayed in touch frequently to keep me apprised of all viewing appointments and status (even though my unit was vacant). Paul was very helpful to the process by communicating with the management company and closing attorney promptly - allowing for a smooth closing process.

My wife and I first met Paul Swanson at an open house that he was hosting. We were working very loosely with another agent who was somewhat aloof to our requirements. He pleasant, inquisitive but not overbearing as spoke with us at length about our housing search. A few weeks after that he reached out to us and a few days later we were looking at homes that met our needs. At one hous...

Paul Swanson was the perfect choice for us. He was a calming force throughout the sales and closing process. His communication skills, resourcefullness, and understanding of the local market far exceeded anything we experienced 10 years ago when we, unsuccessfully, tried to sell the same house with multiple other brokers. Understanding our keys goals, Paul developed a clear plan for h...

Paul Swanson knocked it out of the park! We started thinking about moving at the end of December and by May are in our new house.

This was our first home purchase and Paul was amazing walking us through the entire process. He was very responsive and always available to answer our questions and give us guidance. We would happily recommend Paul to anyone, especially those looking to purchase their first home.

Paul was as knowledgeable as he was personable. Couldn't have had a better experience.

Paul Swanson has been a fantastic realtor! His communication skills are second to none, and he is very professional and ethical. Paul picks up the phone every time ... without fail. He is what all realtors should be. It was a pleasure working with you Paul!

Bill and I listed his Mom's house with Paul. What a pleasant experience. Paul went above and beyond the call of duty. He sold the house in 2 days, answered all our questions and calls, which is a rarity these days. He did not pass us on to another one of his colleagues as we have had done to us before. He treated us like we family. I would recommend this # 1 in our books Realtor to anyon...

Paul was a tremendous asset in the acquisition of our short sale. It was a long and painful process and the deal could very well have fallen through if it wasn't for Paul's perseverance. Through the 5 month process, he was diligently following up with all the parties involved to make sure things were progressing. He was with us every step of the process, always willing to go the extra...

A couple of years ago, Paul Swanson helped us sell our home in Oak Park. It was an almost effortless process as our beloved home sold in less than two weeks. Paul’s guidance and expertise had everything to do with making that happen. So, after renting for a while, we decided that we wanted to buy again and it was, of course, Paul who we called to make that happen. We developed a lon...

We don't know what we would have done without Paul Swanson's work ethic, EQ, excellent communication skills and general knowledge. Our house was on the market for less than two weeks and sold very close to our fair asking price. Even though Paul didn't find our new house, he worked to ensure our deal closed smoothly and fairly. We plan to recommend Paul to anyone we come across lookin...

I am a real estate attorney, and worked with Paul on a recent home purchase. Paul was committed, diligent, friendly, and smart. Having a realtor who knows what they're doing really helps all parties on a transaction. I highly recommend working with him on your next real estate purchase or sale.

I would like to thank you for your help in successfully bringing about the sale and purchase for our mutual client. You were always very helpful in bringing the necessary parties together for the two closings. It is refreshing to have been able to deal with a professional like yourself who promptly returned calls and volunteered to go the extra mile to help his clients.

My wife and I embarked on a plan to sell our house and purchase a specific house more suited for us and our 2 Husky dogs. This all started about 2 years ago and Paul Swanson—our realtor, good friend, and overall great individual—persevered to make this a reality. Throughout this ordeal (which is destined for a case study of real estate deals!!), Paul diligently worked to put the righ...

As an inspector, I often notice the interaction between my clients and their real estate broker. Paul's clients always seem confident that he is their guide on the journey to buy a home. He is attentive to their concerns and stays with them through the entire home inspection process. When I've found something during my inspections that concerns a client, he's never pressured them into ma...

Paul was an incredible resource, agent, and friend from start to closing. As it was our first home we had many questions along the way - Paul was always there to answer our questions no matter the hour or the question. He and the team he put together were able to jump into action when our purchase became challenging and quickly resolve the issue. Paul was a constant and positive voice th...

Paul did an outstanding job of helping my sons through the process of finding and closing on their first real estate purchase on a condo in Chicago. He put a good deal of time and effort into finding the types of properties they were looking for, always responded promptly to any questions or concerns, obtained and provided information we needed to complete the closing, and helped us get ...

As a first time buyer, I was a little anxious about the whole process of searching for, finding, and buying a new home. I was fortunate enough to work with Paul Swanson as my realtor as he made the entire experience comfortable and fun. From the moment I began working with Paul, I felt at ease.

Paul is the best. We were selling our mother's house in Lake Forest, an hour from our where we live. He was great about keeping us informed about issues, like a broken appliance or damage to the house, so we were able to respond quickly and keep the selling process moving.

We would like to reach out to express to you our appreciation for your professionalism.  Now days every transaction seems to need some hard work.  We are grateful for your efforts.  Shane was very pleased to work with such a professional Realtor as yourself.

Most agents are reasonable to work with on transactions that go easily.  Some agents can rise to the occasion and work in a professional manner when things get sticky.  Very few can perform at that level when there are significant issues keeping two sides apart.  I’m very glad that Paul is one of those few.   Paul and I worked together on a transaction that wou...

We met Paul at a showing where he was subbing for another realtor. Seeing his Spartan license plate in Skokie, IL made our Big Ten connection a point of interest for me. We had just moved from Indianapolis to Chicago and begun searching for a new home. We struck up a conversation with Paul and immediately sensed his passion for finding the right home for his clients.

Paul came highly recommended to me from a family member, so I knew I was in good hands before we even met.

I always looked forward to working with Paul. He was honest, straightforward and legitimately cared about how the goals of his company could truly work with the goals I had to attain at my company. He was never phony - he is the real deal. Paul really sticks out as one of the best in the business. I think it says a lot that over a decade later - we still keep in touch!
