I very much appreciate the time and effort that you extended to help my daughter find a residence for her family in Petaluma. You knew the market and how to make a deal close. I know that if I had worked with a different realtor, my search and outcome would have taken much longer and been much more trouble.

5.0 star rating 8/3/2013 I knew Paul through social media. Through Paul, I was able to remodel my rental property from an extremely chaotic condition. Working with the contractor was another challenge, Paul was there to assist me all the way, even until now. At present time, the house is rented, through his property management. Although I know he runs a very busy office, with a large number of clients, he still make me feel like I am the only customer he has. He is always available for me, even after hour. He and his wife, Joanne are A+++ classic people for relators.

I asked three friends who to use to help me find a home in Petaluma and all three responded the same, so I figured I better listen to them. I called whom they all recommended. I called JoAnn and Paul Claeyssens of Leading Edge Properties. I truly believe that without their help, my family and I would not have ended up with our dream home. Their confidence, diligence, and perseverance made it all happen. I had put off buying a home for so long, thinking the whole process would be complicated and scary. It was just the opposite, and I attribute that to JoAnn and Paul's experience and knowledge.

When I first started looking for a home I did not know what to expect. I did know that the process would be difficult, so I decided to work with a real estate agent to help me with the process of becoming a first time home buyer. I contacted a local real estate company and they paired me up with an agent. I looked for 6 months making nearly 20 offers on houses but nothing ever came back . I wondered if it was this hard for everyone else. Eventually my real estate agent left her company, and sent me looking for another agent. I was frustrated at this point but also determined. I ended up searching through customer reviews of agents on a few internet listing sites and found Paul and Joann Claeyssens, and their company Leading Edge Properties. They had good reviews so I thought why not, what I have I got to lose?It turned out I had nothing to lose, and everything to gain. Within 3 weeks, Joann got me an accepted offer for a great home. I liked this house so much better than the previous 20 I had made offers on! Joann is a professional who has been in this line of work a long time and really has great knowledge of real estate and how to get you the house of your dreams. I was very impressed at the amount of work the Claeyssens put in for me. As a first time home buyer my price range was at the lower end of the market, but they worked just as hard for me as if it was a million dollar property deal. In fact, they even managed to save me over $25,000 off the purchase price! I would recommend Paul and Joann to anyone and everyone. Dont waste your time looking for property with the wrong agent! If you are looking for hard working, knowledgeable, and great all around people for your property needs, look no further than Paul and Joann Claeyssens, and Leading Edge Properties. They get it done fast, right, and in your best interest! Thank you Paul and Joann!

My knowledge of the inventory was greater than Paul's. I think his judgements were lacking. His experience in real estate is evident but not as professional as we desired. We managed to close escrow but had issues with seller vacating the property. Paul was of very little help to us even though we said we wanted the property vacant at close of escrow. One area he had strength was in recommending good contractors and inspectors.
