ZillowVERIFIEDWorking with Paul Johnsen on the sale of our property was a great experience. He answered every question in great detail and was very quick in responding to our emails and text messages. He helped with meeting target dates for closing as he promised. He was excellent in his communication with all parties involved with the sale of our property. He demonstrated absolute professionalism representing Lee Tessier team.
ZillowVERIFIEDPaul and his team were second to none! Each step was considered, what to declutter, amazing market value research, incredible home presentation to the market and less than 5 days and double digit viewings, we were under contract. Thank you Paul!
ZillowVERIFIEDWorking with Paul was fantastic and the easiest process ever. He did everything from hiring contractors, keeping me up to date, and verifying contractor work. From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable, and highly responsive. He took the time to understand our goals, explained each step clearly, and kept us informed throughout the entire process. What stood out most was their attention to detail in getting our home ready to sell. Selling a home can be stressful, but Paul made it feel organized and manageable. I highly recommend Paul to anyone looking for a trustworthy and capable real estate professional.
ZillowVERIFIEDPaul got me under contract the first day my house was active as a listing, at the full asking price. He was excellent in evaluating the price point where buying interest would be highest. He produced a world class video of the property, including overhead shots, which I'm sure helped spark interest. He stayed with the transaction all the way through closing and made the entire process about as smooth as it could have been. You can't do better than Paul.
ZillowVERIFIEDPaul Johnsen is very knowledgeable and a great person to work with. The wife and I never had to worry with him on the job. We felt that he went over and above what he was supposed to do. We would highly recommend to use Paul . thank you Paul

ZillowVERIFIEDMr. Paul Johnsen, thank you for working with me through the process of selling my house. From the start to the final task. I really appreciate how you always listened and offered such thoughtful advice, and you handled my challenges with the utmost professionalism and patience. You offered me referrals and resources that I needed. I want to thank you and the Lee Tessier Team for a job well done. I would recommend your company to everybody!
ZillowVERIFIEDIt was exceptionally excellent. He became my brother. He helped me with everything with selling and buying my new home. He is very knowledgeable with his job and can make things easy for you. I have a very busy schedule but Paul was there for me every step. He never missed appointments traveling long distance to come to the appointment. This gentleman knows his job and deserves all the best reviews. Thank you
ZillowVERIFIEDPaul was very helpful in getting our house sold. He has a great knowledge of the market and even better instincts when it comes to where to price your home to get the most visibility and foot traffic.
ZillowVERIFIEDPaul is a true professional that gets results. He was referred to us by a friend, after my husband & I spent months in the highly competitive 2020 market working with a different realtor, looking at dozens of homes, and placing multiple offers only to lose to other buyers every time. We were frustrated and exhausted when Paul stepped in as our new agent. His professionalism & expertise was apparent right away. He actively listened to what we were looking for in our next home, quickly scheduled quality showings & took and shared impeccable notes after each appointment. In under a month, Paul helped us secure our next home by giving us sound advice on how to structure our offer. We honestly couldn't believe it at first, when he called to let us know our offer was selected against several others! Paul was responsive & provided excellent guidance throughout the home buying process, from first contact to closing. When our family outgrew our home, we called Paul, who helped us secure our dream home in 2024. We had a challenging journey to the closing table, due to the seller not completing repairs in the contract in time for our first scheduled closing. Paul worked hard to ensure our nerves were calmed, essential repairs were completed by reputable contractors & we received credit for items we were comfortable with coordinating after we took possession of the home. I cannot say enough how incredible Paul is to work with & I highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
ZillowVERIFIEDSelling (or buying) a home can be a very stressful endeavor, and I've always been very skeptical of the whole real-estate industry and process from past experiences. However, working with Paul from the Lee Tessier Team can only be described as an excellent experience with superior service. Paul's mastery of the real-estate market assured me from the very beginning that I was in good hands. Paul not only floated numbers that far exceeded my expectations for the price I could sell my home; we quickly received an offer at full asking price! Finalizing the terms and conditions of a contract can be very difficult to navigate, but Paul kept me informed the entire way. He also ensured that my best interest in the negotiations was his main priority. I can't say enough how pleased I am with outcome of selling my home and utilizing Paul as my real-estate agent! From beginning to end my home was listed, shown, contracted and closed in less than 3 months (it would've have been even faster if not for a few issues on the buyers' end)! For these reasons if you ever need a qualified real-estate professional Paul G. Johnsen of the Lee Tessier Team is your guy!
ZillowVERIFIEDThe Lee Tessier Team, and most especially our listing agent Paul Johnsen, made the selling process stress free. Paul kept us well informed throughout the process, from the initial listing consultation to closing. While we were not privy to every interaction Paul had with buyer-agents and prospective buyers, Paul is obviously a highly skilled communicator, working behind the scenes to promote our best interests, as sellers, and excelling in his fiduciary role. We would not hesitate to recommend Paul Johnsen and the Lee Tessier Team.
ZillowVERIFIEDPaul has worked with my family for several years. We want to thank Paul for all the great work he did selling my home. He made the entire process seamless and we could not have done this without him. I?m grateful to have had you as my agent and appreciate your expertise and patience and look forward to working with you and recommending you to anyone who is selling or buying. Mary
ZillowVERIFIEDPaul Johnsen is the consummate professional! He has excellent communication, is always prepared and on time, and goes above and beyond his role as a realtor. Paul?s industry/market knowledge, negotiation skills, and professional contacts are huge assets. When my schedule left me unreachable for long stretches each day, Paul took the lead on coordinating contractors and repair work so we wouldn?t miss any deadlines. He really made the selling process as stress free as possible! Most importantly, Paul is always positive, acts with integrity, and is a really kind person that is a joy to work with. I always felt he truly cares about his clients as people. He is not just in it for a sale; he gives honest advice and listens to the client?s wishes. Many times throughout the home selling process I said out loud, ?I trust Paul, this is why I hired him.? And I would do it 1000x again! Thank you Paul!!! Super happy with the entire process to sell my house quickly for full asking price!
ZillowVERIFIEDPaul went above and beyond to get my house sold. I will be calling Paul to sell our other house as well. If you need to have your house sold, call Paul of Lee Tessier Team ! We couldnt be more satisfied with Paul and the Lee Tessier Team
ZillowVERIFIEDIf I had one overall impression of our home-selling experience in regards to Paul, I would have to say that Paul made things go smoothly and with VERY little stress on our part. We had bought and sold four times before and our experience with Paul was definitely the easiest and smoothest. He was always available by phone-- even at odd hours.
ZillowVERIFIEDPaul was the 2nd realtor to list my property, I wish I had found him first. We held many open houses, his marketing produced lots of showings and we SOLD! I couldn?t be happier with Paul and his team!
ZillowVERIFIEDPaul was an immense help in this difficult market. His knowledge and passion for the industry really shows thru in his work to get my family into the house of our dreams. He is very easy to communicate with and gets back to you promptly. Highly recommend his help if your in the market!
ZillowVERIFIEDPaul did a great job selling our house. He really eased our mind when we were moving out of state and he made the transaction very smooth. I recommend him highly to anyone looking to sell their home.
ZillowVERIFIEDFantastic experience! Paul is kind but also listens and acts on your preferences. He is an excellent communicator and worked out our selling of 2 homes quickly and professionally. Our showings and being under contract happened in a weekend! Would use him again!
ZillowVERIFIEDPaul Johnsen is extremely knowledgeable in the real-estate market and answered all our questions promptly throughout the home sale process. Paul executed a flawless sales experience and presented solutions to any issues.
ZillowVERIFIEDPaul sold our house above list price. He took care of every detail. He troubleshooted problems without making us even have to worry. There?s nothing more I could have wanted in a realtor. Hiring him was an excellent decision.
ZillowVERIFIEDPaul was an excellent shepherd for my partner and I through the process of buying our first house. Not only did he answer all our questions but he also helped us learn to ask questions we didnt even know we needed to ask. He threads the needle of keeping you optimistic about the whole process while not letting you compromise on your future by sacrificing your safety or security or peace of mind in pursuit of just getting it done. Additionally, his professional contacts are top quality. He made the process of buying a home as painless as possible and always made us feel like our needs were his top priority.
ZillowVERIFIEDPaul was the perfect person for Pam and I. Very professional, understanding, and personable. We basically did nothing, Paul walked us through the sales procedure, staging, and estate auction. We received 17 offers in 2 days. Paul explained all offers and guided us thru the best overall efforts. WE RECEIVED $77,000 OVER ASKING. When there were problems with certain items, Paul handled everyone PERFECTLY. So glad we went with Paul. Doug & Pam Thompson
ZillowVERIFIEDI would highly recommend Paul Johnsen to anyone looking for a house! My boyfriend and I just moved into our beautiful new home in Pasadena, MD and we couldn?t have done it without Paul. He was absolutely amazing the entire time. This was our first home buying experience and he was amazing about explaining everything to us and made sure we understood what was going on. He was always available to answer any questions we had and made it a point to be completely honest with us throughout the entire process. Paul was there for us and advocating for us and not just trying to sell us any home. To anyone looking to buy a home Paul is definitely the guy you want on your team!
ZillowVERIFIEDPaul went above and beyond the call of duty during the sale of our house. He was there every step of the way providing excellent advice. He is very knowledgeable with all aspects home sale.
ZillowVERIFIEDPaul recently sold an older townhome for my son and I. He was extremely knowledgeable, professional and responsive. He made recommendations on what to focus on to make the home more appealing and with his help the home was listed within a few weeks of our first meeting and we had almost 100 viewings and numerous offers (most above list price), within a couple days. He reviewed each offer with us identifying strengths of each, and together we chose the offer we wanted to accept. He then worked with buyer?s agent and got all the paperwork moving, most of which he did over weekend. We settled a month later with no issues on our side. A few last minute hiccups arose on buyer?s side but Paul managed to work with the multiple parties involved in order to maintain closing date. We ended up selling the home $30k over asking price and significantly over recent sells of similar homes in the area. I give Paul all the credit for this and highly recommend him if you?re looking for an agent!
ZillowVERIFIEDPaul Johnson goes above and beyond for his clients. He is extremely knowledgeable and explains things so that the client can understand. He is also very helpful in looking at very precise details of the home , electric, plumbing, foundation, ect.. that I feel as I was a client, I was to busy looking at other things. I highly recommend Paul Johnson for your home searching needs.
ZillowVERIFIEDPaul was everything I could have asked for and more in a real estate agent. He went above and beyond for me and my family to find a home we felt comfortable in. We dragged this poor man all over maryland to look at all kinds of houses and he went to every single one with a smile and every fact you could possibly ask for about each one. He is knowledgeable about new builds and resales. If youre looking for an agent call Paul, you wont regret it.
ZillowVERIFIEDAn absolutely wonderful job by Paul. He flawlessly served as our agent for the sale of our current house as well as the purchase of our new house. His insights were critical as he guided us through the buying / selling efforts. He is dedicated, was able to adjust quickly to meet our needs, and provided excellent communication throughout the entire process. I relied on him heavily during negotiations / offers, etc., which resulted in quality results. I highly recommend Paul to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!
ZillowVERIFIEDWe worked with Paul to buy our first home in Baltimore City. We were referred by a friend who had nothing but great things to say about him, and I am excited to say we can happily join that chorus of clients! Over the almost six months that we worked together, Paul was incredibly professional, personable, and helpful. He knows an impressive amount about houses and red flags to look out for (he took us straight into the basement to check for leaks and foundation issues in the first house we ever toured!) and he knows seemingly everything about the areas he works in. We were confident that he could help us assess the value of any houses we saw, both in terms of condition and how they met our needs, before making an offer. In a market that moves faster than ever, Paul was always available to show houses, write offers, and answer any questions we had as soon as we had them. Closing on a house with him and his team at Lee Tessier was a similarly simple and smooth process! We love our new home and will eagerly recommend Paul to anyone who is even starting to think about buying.
ZillowVERIFIEDPaul was amazing start to finish! We were a first time homebuyers and were made to feel very comfortable. He even went to bat for us with the city permitting people when we were trying to get permits for the moving truck. Really listened to our wants and got a great feel for what we were looking for. Super happy with the home we found!
ZillowVERIFIEDMy wife and I had a great experience working with Paul Johnsen. During the process of trying to find a new home, Paul made a sincere effort to understand what we really wanted in a home, and never once pressured us into buying any that he showed. Paul was very assertive in pointing out problems with a home because he had very good, in some cases detailed, knowledge of items such as septic systems and asbestos. This information was invaluable to us and provided us with a very accurate picture of certain homes in particular. This aspect of Paul's character speaks volumes about his honesty and integrity. Not to mention, he was always very patient and accomodating.
ZillowVERIFIEDWe had a wonderful experience with Paul as our realtor, we cannot recommend him enough. He was extremely knowledgeable and was able to prepare us with what to expect each step of the way. He was always available as soon as a house we were interested in hit the market and took us for several same-day showings. He made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process and we couldn't be happier!
ZillowVERIFIEDPaul is a very hardworking and patient realtor who's committed to helping his clients get the right house to meet the needs of his clients. What I like most is communication skills. He is always ready to answer our calls any time we called him with an issue or concerns. we even call him late at nights and he still answers and help resolve our concerns. He is really a kind and caring human being and that's what I like about him. He is so humble and his response time is on point. He also takes time to investigate and advise us on any house we expressed interest in buying and that helped our decision making a lot. He is also a good negotiator when it comes to making an offer for a house. We couldn't have gotten our dream house without his negotiating skills as he pays attention to details and also follows up with the seller's agent and update us on real time basis the status of transactions/negotiations going on. He also explains the content of all contracts before we decide to sign or decline and does not influence our decisions. Paul is the best realtor I have worked with so far as I have bought a couple of houses and would use him again if I decide to buy a new house in future.
ZillowVERIFIEDPaul Johnsen was extremely professional. He represented us well in the negotiation process. He was quick to respond when addendums were required. Paul had the insight to insure required details were completed. Paul was an excellent communicator and always shared information with us in a timely manner. Everything went according to clockwork. We highly recommend the services of Paul Johnsen and the Lee Tessier Team.
ZillowVERIFIEDPaul was extremely helpful, patient, and knowledgeable throughout our entire experience with him. Buying a house can be a very stressful process; especially for those who has never gone through the process before. Not only was Paul was very responsive and attentive to our needs, he was extremely kind. Paul is very approachable and assuring; which is nice to have on your side when you are making such a big decision. It was obvious from the start that he is just an all-around good guy. He was quick to schedule tours when we expressed interest in a house, and quick to find out any information that we needed prior to making a decision. He would point out good features on each house, as well as things to be concerned about. We never doubted that Paul had our best interest in mind. He was not just trying to push us to buy a house. He wanted us to pick the best house for us that we will be happy with. We asked him a lot of questions throughout the process regarding finances, structural integrity of the houses, and his personal opinions on different features of the houses and contract. When we decided we wanted to put in an offer, Paul was on top of everything still. He coached us as to what he thought would be good to ask for, fought for the repairs we wanted after the inspection, and convinced the other company to reduce the closing costs for us to help us out. Paul really went to bat for us on more than one occasion. His determination and his good rapport with other realtors in the area is what got us this house. He never gave up; even when things didn't look promising as to whether or not they would accept our terms. He is very knowledgeable of what to look for and wanted to ensure we were getting done what needed to be done prior to taking the house. Paul got us our first dream home, and we cannot be more grateful to him.
ZillowVERIFIEDPaul was recommended to us by a few family members (he's helped several couples in my family purchase a home!) and we are so happy we reached out to him. Paul was very knowledgeable and helpful from the start. He guided us through each home, flagged any issues he noticed, and (most importantly) listened to what we wanted/needed. Paul's responsiveness was incredible (we often wondered if he ever slept). So far, we've recommended him to at least 5 others because everyone deserves a home buying experience as we had! Thank you, Paul! We love our home and wouldn't be here without your help.
ZillowVERIFIEDWe could not have been happier with Paul. He is professional and very knowledgeable. He was always available to answer our questions during our home buying process. We will use him again when we sell our house.
ZillowVERIFIEDPaul is the undisputed champion of buyers' agents. We were referred to him by a friend through his agency about a year ago. We were undecided if we wanted to buy or build but Paul had all the answers in both categories. With patience on both sides and with the market having low inventory, Paul was able to show us a couple homes before we found our perfect two-acre lot to build our forever home. With lots of challenging obstacles, Paul was always just a phone call away and he stayed on his toes every step of the way to guide us to our contract. Every buying process has a different story but if we didn't have Paul's kindness and knowledge, we wouldn't be months away from moving into our new home. We plan on this being our final move, but we strongly recommend Paul Johnson and the Lee Tessier Group when you are ready to make your next move. Thank you! Paul, you are the People's Champ!
ZillowVERIFIEDPaul listened to all my wants and needs. He took the time to make sure he had all the information he needed to help me find my new home. I am sure that I would not have had such a great experience with any other agent.
ZillowVERIFIEDWhat an amazing guy Paul is! He made buying a house super easy and worry free. Always made sure we were taken care of especially during the pandemic. Very professional and occasional we would get a joke or two out of him. Paul always checks details and of the home we were looking at, like eletrical, plumbing, crawl space, attics. Overall it was a pleasure working with Paul and I highly recommend him. Will be recommending Paul to my friends and family who are looking for a home. THANKS PAUL!
ZillowVERIFIEDWorking with Paul and his team was an all around great experience. His knowledge of houses proved invaluable in choosing the perfect home for our small family. He was able to steer us away from houses that may have turned out to be lemons and ultimately helped us purchase our dream Victorian home. I'm very happy we were linked with Paul and the Lee Tessier team. I would highly recommend him to first time home buyers, and also experienced home buyers. Thanks again Paul!!!
ZillowVERIFIEDPaul was an absolute Rockstar. Extremely thorough, responsive, and on top of everything. Listened to what I needed and worked with me to get everything just right. Knowledgeable on everything from repairs, to neighborhoods, to every step of the process. Hes also super easy to get along with and is really patient, which is especially useful with how crazy the pandemic has made things. 11/10 aEUR" 3 thumbs us aEUR" best of the best.
ZillowVERIFIEDPaul has been there for us every step of the way. from the disappointment of not being able to finalize the purchase on the first house we put a contract on to finding another home they we are just about to close on. Paul helped as we looked at numerous homes, pointing out things that could be issues, offering his opinion on what repairs may be needed as well as giving us estimates on repairs costs. Paul has been very responsive and always willing to answer any questions we had. We are extremely thankful that we've had the opportunity to work with Paul and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to purchase a home.
ZillowVERIFIEDIf I could give Paul a million star review, I would! My husband was not available a lot of the time, due to work, so it was just me and our two children most of the time meeting with Paul to look at houses. He was always very thorough with walking through the houses and picking up on stuff that I had not even noticed. He is super knowledgeable! Paul will do anything he can to make sure you are happy and satisfied with everything. He would do video walkthroughs for us when we could not attend showings. He is super responsive and was always able to provide us answers to our questions. I cannot say enough good things about Paul. I will be recommending him to everyone!
ZillowVERIFIEDI really enjoyed working with Paul. He was there for my husband and I every step of the way. He also was very knowledgeable in what to look for/ ask for during this life changing process. My husband now calls him, aEURoemy PaulaEUR? because he is just that good. Plus his team also provided awesome service with getting us moving boxes and moving truck. Kudos to Paul and the Tessier team.

ZillowVERIFIEDPaul was probably the best you could have in an agent. He responded to every email and every call within minutes. He was available and worked all seven days of the week showing homes, preparing contracts, taking calls. He was over the top with his work. When we bought a home he tested out the trampoline with a full Olympic performance. The sellers left the house a mess, he spent several hours cleaning the house himself including scrubbing the oven and vacuuming.
ZillowVERIFIEDI highly recommend Paul and the team at Lee Tessier. Paul recently helped my husband and I buy our first home in the Riverside neighborhood of Baltimore City. Paul was extremely responsive and helped make a stressful process moved forward as seamlessly as possible. I had a million questions that Paul responded to expeditiously and patiently. When it came time to negotiating a few issues with the sellers, he was informed and helped us make educated decisions. We LOVE our new home and appreciate Pauls help.
