Paul Kantor

Paul and Tim just sold my unit, and I must say, it was completely painless for me, they were both entirely professional, throughout the whole process, and I cannot speak highly enough about them.

Paul also helped me with my purchase of Emanuel Gardens, which was also a very smooth process, so once again I thoroughly recommend them both.

Paul Kantor is by far the BEST realtor I’ve ever worked with

After working with Paul to buy my home in Double Bay, I was convinced that he’s the only realtor I’ll ever need. He made the process simple and easy to understand , and I appreciated his patience and expertise. His insight was extremely valuable to me and I don't think I could have done this without him.

He is a skilled listener and negotiator, with the best in-depth knowledge of the local market.

Paul also comes across as someone that truly loves what he does and enjoys all there is about Double Bay, and the Eastern Suburns as a whole. I would recommend him to anyone, without hesitation.

Recently, I had the pleasure of Paul Kantor selling my Woollahra property.

Paul is a highly-experienced real estate professional, who I have no hesitation in recommending highly. Paul is a good communicator, and he updated me regularly throughout the sales process; he was proactive in seeking a buyer, obtained a sale price above what I wanted, and the property was only on the market for a matter of days before contracts exchanged. Paul is polite, honest, efficient, effective, a good listener and he really went the extra mile to assist. If we ever need to move again, Paul will be our first choice in real estate agents. I highly recommend Paul to all those looking to sell Eastern Suburbs property; Paul has an excellent working knowledge of the area, and he is an absolute pleasure to work with. I only wish I’d found Paul years ago!

Thank you so much for your efforts Paul, and for a job well done.

In June 2019, we took our property to auction with Paul Kantor and Ophelia Huang from Richardson & Wrench Double Bay.

It was not easy to open our house to inspection by the public for 4 weeks. However, our concerns were made easier by the advice & manner of our agents. Paul & Ophelia worked tirelessly with many after-hours inspections. At all times they were professional and always gave us feedback on the day of our inspection.

We would always recommend them both to our family & friends.

This is to advise that I have been very satisfied with the role of Paul Kantor in relation to the sale of my property at Rushcutters Bay.

The market took a downturn as I was listing the property and it proved much harder to sell than anticipated. Paul did not give up but pursued all leads resulting in a satisfactory sale. Moreover, Paul was a gentleman to deal with, extremely courteous, prompt and reliable.
Ilona Doreen Lee AM (Vendor)

Paul Kantor

We have been clients of Paul's for around 25 years selling and buying multiple properties.

He has always kept us up to date with information particularly when negotiations are anxiety promoting and we need support. Paul pro-actively conducted market analysis and helped us find sometimes secret opportunities tailored to our circumstances. Above all, Paul is professional and client-centred.

Put your house on Paul.

Paul Kantor

Paul has sold 6 properties for me over the past 13 years and he never ceases to amaze me with his good will, utter professionalism, passion for his work and total integrity. He is everything one could hope for in a real estate agent and I would never think of employing anyone else. He goes way, way above and beyond the call of duty I feel lucky to have found him.

Indeed, the whole Richardson & Wrench Double Bay office is wonderful agency and in a class of their own.
Robert Shelly (Vendor)

Paul Kantor

I have bought and sold over 30 properties in my life and can confidently say that Richardson & Wrench Double Bay are the best and most professional agents I have worked with.

Not only have they achieved an outstanding result for my property, they have done it in an exceptionally professional way. What proved most impressive was not the promise of a price for my property, but the promise of a process that would inevitably achieve the best result possible. They delivered on this promise and the result surpassed expectations.

Paul Kantor

We recently sold our house through Paul Kantor of Richardson and Wrench Double Bay.

I can’t thank Paul enough for the amount of time and effort he put into the sale. He not only advised us on preparing the house for sale, but actually project managed the work as well, coordinating a myriad of tradesman in this endeavour. He was ably assisted in this task by Lillian Shi whose fluency in Mandarin was of great benefit to the large number of Chinese buyers who inspected the house. Paul was prompt to return our calls and was more than happy to speak with us on weekends and evenings. He provided us with regular updates and gave us his expert opinion with respect a number of offers made prior to auction. On the basis of his advice we proceeded to auction and we were extremely happy with the eventual sale price which was well over our reserve.

I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Paul and his team at Richardson and Wrench Double Bay.

Paul Kantor

Paul Kantor is the most professional agent I have dealt with in my property dealings over the last 40 years. Paul is very experienced, highly knowledgeable and a very good communicator. From the start, Paul had a strategy, he was never pushy about it, he never deviated from it and always dealt with me on a sincere and courteous basis. His reports to me were detailed, first class and, as it turned out, very accurate.

Paul's Executive Assistant, Lillian Shi, completed all her tasks very diligently and respectfully.

The auction process was handled excellently by Richardson and Wrench, resulting in me achieving an outstanding result, nearly 40% over my reserve price.

William Gurry (Vendor)

Paul Kantor

The result was exceptional, to say the least! We found the team from Richardson & Wrench - Paul Kantor, Phoebe Shepperd and Lilian Shi - diligent, hardworking and very transparent in their communication.

Selling your home can be stressful, and Paul, Phoebe and Lilian kept things on an even footing throughout.

Woollahra (Vendor)

Paul Kantor

Paul (Kantor) genuinely understands and cares about people. We suspect that the record-breaking price he, Annabelle (Webb) and Marion (Badenoch) achieved for our property was due as much to the fact that they also treated the buyers with real human understanding and interest as it was to the fact that they are just extremely good at what they do. They always made us feel they had our backs. They resolved problems other agents understandably leave for owners to deal with, and usually, they had already resolved them by the time we even knew they existed.

We’ve sold properties before but never where everything was handled in such a simple, efficient, caring and stress-free way. We were travelling old-fashioned first class where every need is taken care of as soon as it appears. Having experienced selling with Paul, we wouldn’t use anyone else to sell our property.
Trixi and Eli Symonds (Vendors)

Paul Kantor

Margot and I want to thank you Paul so very much for looking after us so well, we could not have found anyone as kind and caring as you. It was wonderful how you kept in touch nearly every day making us feel secure and managing to find such nice new owners. Hope they will love our house as much as we did and have many happy years. We also want to thank your 2 assistants Susie and Annabelle

Paul Kantor

Now that the sale of my apartment has been secured, I don’t want the moment to pass without expressing my sincere appreciation and thanks to you and your team for your work on my behalf.

I interviewed six agents before choosing your firm to represent me. What distinguished you team from the others was your understanding of the subtleties of the market in this area, your professional construction of the marketing program and, most of all, your ethical approach. You, as team leader, you were invaluable in guiding me through what, for me, was a pretty harrowing experience. You identified early the “right” likely price, got your team working on you customer data base and quickly led the process to a successful conclusion. I could not be happier. Thank you.

Please convey my gratitude and thanks, too, to each of the members of your team. I liked working with a team of girls, Ania, Marion and Susie. They were great. They really brought added value to the experience

Ambrose Dunne (Vendor)

Paul Kantor

I engaged Paul to sell my unit. I was very nervous to start off with especially since I came off a very bad experience. After a short meeting with him Instinct told me I could trust him. He was very informative and enthusiastic and I could see that this man had years of experience.

Above all Paul is a man of integrity and honesty. He got me the result that I wanted in two weeks, and all I can say is that I had wonderful experience with Paul. I would highly recommend him to anyone wishing to sell their property.
Zambella Carol Faith Plokhooy (Vendor)

Paul Kantor

Thank you for the way you prepared the strategy and delivered the sale of our apartment. Your advice was greatly appreciated and reflected your experience and capability particularly by sticking to your plan. Susanna was always enthusiastic and an able support to you at all times. And you kept the marketing budget under control and came in under it as well. You targeted the right buyers in your marketing campaign which resulted in a short period of time between offer and exchange, which went effortlessly. Thank you for a very pleasant outcome
Gary Penny and Sue Penny (Vendors)

Paul Kantor

Thank you for your email and your very kind words. Your effort in achieving $2.7m was indeed outstanding. Shirley and I had that figure in mind from the outset. Our deepest thanks and appreciation.

Further, we were delighted in the way you handled our sale - it was truly well thought out and your strategy proved you can turn a negative into a real positive. You are a true professional and we would not hesitate any time in the future to use your services and to recommend you to friends and family. I have a drink waiting for you as a L'Chaim for a job extremely well done.

It is our pleasure to recommend Paul Kantor as your real estate agent. Go nowhere else!

Paul’s professionalism, care and compassion are a beacon for the industry in which he has worked for a number of decades.

Over these years we have valued his counsel, his friendship, his integrity and his sense of humour.

There is no one better.
Greg Levenston & Judith Morrice (Vendors)

Paul Kantor

I have known Paul for quite a number of years as one of the Real Estate Agents in my area. Most of the time that I came across Paul, it was as a ‘prospective purchaser’ while inspecting properties for sale. Paul was always enthusiastic about the property he was ‘showing’, as if it was his own home!

During my 30 + years in the area I got to know most of the Real Estate Agents. Once my husband and I decided to sell our Family Home, we invited Paul (and a couple of other agents) to give us an assessment of the home and some guidance for the process. Paul got me a pen and paper and methodically guided us through the various steps that we needed to do in preparation for the sale - no stone was left unturned! He organised the appropriate contacts and help as needed and constantly checked that all was going to plan.

In addition, Paul is a true gentleman and with his vast experience in the Real Estate business, his obvious love of his job and wonderful way of dealing with people, we decided to select Paul as our Selling Agent. Paul had lived in the area for more than 40 years so his local knowledge of the area was important and also a ‘deciding’ factor in his selection. Paul’s Assistant Susanna Ma is extremely sweet, polite (as is Paul) and very efficient. On the rare occasion that Paul was not around, she ensured that all was going smoothly. She was extremely reliable and returned our phone calls immediately. Together as a team, their communication was ‘top class’ particularly when the campaign commenced. They always kept us informed of the latest feedback and information regarding the inspections etc. Between them they gave us confidence and made our experience much less stressful and we now feel part of the Richardson and Wrench Family.

Paul Kantor

Things have been really manic and hectic with me selling my apartment in Darling Point. My friend Colin said to me one day: "Tamara, why can’t you try Paul Kantor, I think that he will help you. He is a very nice man". I hired Paul, and I gave up on other estate agents as they were incompetent. I have been with different agents for nearly two years, can you believe? I had a great time with Paul, who conducted the inspections smoothly and efficiently. For me it was a lot of fun and stress in equal measure. The rapport was good with Paul, and the communications were amazing.

Paul runs his business very professionally right from the word. My place was sold quickly with interested and appreciated buyers. We had an amazing outcome. Paul also helped me to find a new abode. I must say, that it is inspiring to know such people like Paul Kantor have faith in the business and believe, that it will succeed. If I decide to move in the future, it will be Paul again I will be dealing with. I hope things will be continue well for dear Paul. Huge thanks from Tamara and Bernard Haneman

I have known Paul Kantor for over 10 years. In that time he has sold two properties for me. In both case I found him to be the epitome of what a top-line real estate agent should be; highly professional, unbelievably competent in every facet of the business and very honest.

He really makes it easy and stress free for vendors and achieves excellent results. I can’t imagine there being a better agent for domestic real-estate in the Sydney Eastern Suburbs and I recommend him in the highest possible terms
Robert & Anna Shelly (Vendors)

Paul Kantor

Thank you so much Paul!!! Despite the stress and seemingly never ending campaign, I am going to miss it!!!

I want also to express my gratitude in being always taking or returning my calls!! Your professionalism and patience is very impressive!! I would definitely recommend you above everyone I have dealt with!!

My sincere thanks.”

Paul Kantor

Thanks Paul Kantor and Susanna Ma for their assistance in the sale of our family home. It was an emotional choice selling the house after seeing it in our family for close to 50 yrs. After interviewing many agents we decided on Paul and Susanna because of their down to earth approach and open communication style.

An early problem was quickly rectified before the campaign went to air. It is a mark of a good business that deals with these sorts of issues quickly and efficiently, listens to their clients concerns and efficiently rectifies them
Caryn, Michael & Kevin Wun (Vendors)

Paul Kantor

I wanted to thank you very much for your support and help throughout the whole process. I felt relieved that you as an old family friend were managing things. I thought you handled everything superbly and although I wasn't at the auction, the evening reflected your skills and experience. It was as though you had written the script for the auction!

When we are next in Sydney, I'd love to take you and Katie out for a very special meal.

Dear Paul, as you have already received many medals, including Gold for ‘Outstanding Sales Performance’ last year, there is little I can add about your dedication and hard work on behalf of your clients. However, I would like to say that unless one has had the experience of being one of those clients, then there is no way of knowing the difference between you and other agents.

Your good humour and profound knowledge of the property market are formidable qualities. However I think the most outstanding feature of your technique is your ability to make the vendor feel part of a team. With you and your excellent assistant Susie, I feel inclusive, and well informed about any decisions taken. You were always available to advise and inform and I greatly appreciated your weekly Newsletter. My unit, I believe was a price record breaker in its category and that was entirely due to your complete endeavor and understanding of the Real Estate Industry.

My sincere thanks to you and Susie for the stupendous work you put into such a successful outcome for me.
Anne Goodall (Vendor)

Paul Kantor

One of the reasons I contacted Paul Kantor about being the agent for the sale of my special apartment at the Harbour’s edge at Milsons Point is the very professional way he dealt with three property transactions he conducted for my Late Mother in the Eastern Suburbs area. The only concern I had in my mind at the time of initial contact was that my property was “northside” and Paul operated mostly in the Eastern Suburbs and the City. I should not have been concerned. The fact that Paul had to travel over the Bridge for openings on the busiest mornings of the week for him was no problem to him what so ever.

I was particularly pleased with the way Paul kept me informed of any enquiries from interested persons, often more than three times a week. At the time of initial offers from the eventual buyer Paul provided me with his advice on the strategies I should adopt to maximise the sale price in our dealings with the buyer. I would have no hesitation in recommending Paul as the real estate agent for anyone wishing to sell property.
Geoffrey Wall (Vendor)

Paul Kantor

Paul and Marion were very flexible, motivated, helpful and above all - respectful of our time and energy. They were always on time, took it upon themselves to understand many little details of our house and pros/cons of the area etc. The way they did this really sold the house.

We have dealt with a few agents in recent times and Paul and Marion were the most professional, hard-working and sincere. They will continue to be successful in this field.

I recently used the services of Paul Kantor and his Co-Agent to sell my house in Victoria Road, Bellevue Hill. Although it was a tense time for my wife and I during the campaign, I found Paul to be reliable, enthusiastic and caring which made the process much easier for both of us. His advice was sound and correct and his determination in the auction room resulted in a great sale at a price which we were pleased to accept. If you want an Agent you can reply on with a high degree of experience and integrity then I suggest you contact Paul without delay.

I wish to pay tribute to the outstanding work of Mr Paul Kantor in action as agent on the sale of my unit. His conscientious attention to detail throughout the transaction has been very commendable.

A notable feature of his method of doing business is his readiness at all times to keep the client well-informed about the reactions of prospective purchasers as expressed during inspections.

I am well pleased with what he has done and how he has done it

Both Barbara & I were most impressed at your professionalism & the attention to detail that attended the whole transaction. As a Real Estate Valuer for 43 years, I can truly appreciate the skill, detailed organization that went into the successful sale of our property.

Paul Kantor

I would like to comment on the sale process & commend you on your structured approach in keeping us up to date & informed on all aspects of the sale. At no time did we feel like we were not sufficiently informed on all aspects of the sale & the regular face to face meetings where you took time to travel to my place of work was greatly appreciated.
Jason Cavanagh (Vendor)

Paul Kantor

Selling a house is not a straightforward and simple process. It is laden with emotion, expectations and many practical requirements Paul’s diligent stewardship of the process, with help from his assistant, helped to ensure our experience was a positive one. His proactiveness & polite manner ensured any opportunities & interest in our property were optimized. His experience & astute reading & sensitive encouragement of potential buyers no doubt helped us get over the line.
Judy & Anthony Kahn (Vendors)

Paul Kantor

As a busy professional I value service providers who deliver good value with the minimum stress and disruption to my schedule.

Due to your professionalism I had little to do during the sales campaign except to sign off on your recommendations.

The speed and ease with which you were able to access services and costings for us through your contact network of local trade’s people was also a great time saver.

I would have no hesitation in recommending you to any friend wanting a very competent and experienced agent in the Eastern Suburbs.
