Homeowner Testimonials

We started working with Paul at least 18 months BEFORE we had bought our home. Paul came with us to see houses we wanted to bid on to evaluate the condition of the house and potential scope of any project needed to bring the house to our lifestyle. Paul was patient and super helpful. Once we purchased our house, we had a tight timeline as we would be living out of state during the time the work was to be done and needed to be back in the house within 8-9 months. During Covid! 2022! Supply chain delays, shortage of labor, high material costs, etc. Working with Paul was tremendous. He had a number of projects underway and was able to source and order materials, appliances, etc. in bulk. But more importantly, he had an extremely capable and dedicated crew who under Paul’s care and guidance, worked tirelessly and meticulously to move the project forward. Additionally, Paul was able to make many suggestions and modifications as we went along that made the renovation better than we could have hoped. Working with Paul was truly turnkey and one stop, from his architect, project manager, decor suggestions, etc. As happens with large renovations, delays from time to time will occur, however, Paul did everything possible to either provide temporary alternatives or work with vendors to speed delivery of what was needed. The project was completed in time for us to move back into the home from out of state with minimal additional interior and exterior work remaining before completion. All in all, a Herculean effort. We are pleased with our home, the work Paul and his crew did, and have happily enjoyed our new home since we moved in. We whole heartedly recommend Paul.

Paul, Monique,Todd, & their team are amazing to work with start to finish. There are no hidden costs, the workmanship is impeccable, and the product high end. They are beyond knowledgeable in their fields, share, and recommend ideas in every facet of the job, in addition to listening to what their clients want & like. They ask their clients to pick out materials before the job begins, as this alleviates any stress during the actual build. Monique has a beautiful taste and we worked very closely with her picking out the stunning materials that are now our home. Paul & Todd know their houses, and are available for questions, even currently as we have been living in our new home for just under a year. We’ve owned 6 homes, but have never been involved in a project of this magnitude. Paul, Monique,Todd & their team are honest, trustworthy, and knowledgeable.
We were initially attracted to 60 elmwood by its form, function, and understated elegance. our apprehensions about home ownership were quickly allayed as it became apparent after closing that paul stood by his work. now after eight years, the house has stood the test off time, with no major issues after years of abuse from a young family and extreme weather. Thank you Paul.

We weren’t sure what to expect as first time buyers of a “new construction” home. Four years later, we are thrilled to say that we couldn’t be happier! Paul and his team made the entire process incredibly easy for us. For example, Paul provided specifications for every detail in the construction process in one place. Any questions or changes that we had were thoughtfully considered by Paul, and we felt like it was a partnership between us and the Varsames team throughout the construction of our home. Paul was supportive and flexible with us as we made a few modifications in the design, and he and his team worked tirelessly to get us into our new home - on time, even with our changes! Paul his team team are always available to answer questions, even now - 4 years after we moved into our home. We would highly recommend Paul Varsames as a partner in building the home of your dreams.

Thank you very much for making the sale of my Rye house to you so easy and such a stressless experience. The last time we saw each other, I handed you the keys and we shook hands. It brought to mind that this whole “deal” was initially made over the phone with a “verbal handshake” - your saying, “We trust one anothers’ words. Right?” And, every time I brought up something that I thought to be a minor problem, that I experienced with the house, or asked a favor, you’re response was consistently, “Don’t worry about it. It’s fine.” Someone else would have reacted differently...and nickeled/dimed me. Last, even though you knew I called you, under stress because my first arrangement went sour, you immediately reacted positively with an instant “let’s do it.” You had some leverage and could have renegotiated. Not your style. All of our contacts have been positive - leaving me most impressed with your style of conducting business: as a gentleman. I particularly appreciated your allowing me to use the house for several months after closing. Very good of you. Old school. Trust my word. Handshakes. Honorable. Thank you.

Before we decided to buy, we could certainly see how well liked Paul was among his previous buyers, as they all were more than happy to open their homes and show us around and recommend Paul. We were lucky enough to be able to start from scratch on our new home with Paul and his team. We loved Monique’s style and working with her. We made very few changes, in fact, to what she initially proposed for us. Todd, our project manager on the house, was great to work with from construction and now into living in the house. He is always available to help us with any questions and issues that arose (and as a first time homeowner, I have a lot of questions). Paul was also very accommodating in helping us meet our specific time frame for moving from the city to Rye. In addition to the great experience in working with everyone, the craftsmanship and attention to every detail in the home is top notch and we couldn’t be happier.

Tenant Testimonials

We enjoyed every moment while living in our [Paul Varsames] home. The house is exceptionally well built, with features and finishings that are truly first class. From the spacious layout to the beautiful design details, every aspect exceeded our expectations. Liz did a great job of addressing any issues—albeit few and far between—and always stayed on top of all maintenance, giving us plenty of lead time when appropriate. A heartfelt thank you to Paul, Liz, and the entire team for their consistent help and support throughout our time there.

We had the most wonderful year at one of Paul Varsames’ rentals on Midland Avenue. Location was king - our home was a short walk to the train, shops and school which we loved; the home itself was super cozy, built to a high spec, and had brand new appliances. Unexpectedly to our surprise the house had tons of hidden storage (two large lofts) so we saved a fortune avoiding the use of a storage company following our move from abroad - what a bonus that was! But the icing on the cake was the phenomenal white glove service offered by the Paul Vasarmes team. Nothing was too much trouble and when there was something that needed addressing - it was resolved within 24 hours (thank you Liz!). It would be a struggle to find a better landlord than Paul Varsames in Westchester. He is very personable, kind and accommodating. Paul, Liz, Lourdes, Todd and Xhuliana - a heartfelt thank you to you all for making our transatlantic move so easy and allowing us to make great memories at 416 Midland Avenue. We are so happy we found a home here! Highly recommend any of Paul Varsames rentals - wouldn’t rent from anyone else!

We highly recommend this landlord and his team if you are looking for a home!

“We fell in love straight away with the beautiful house at 61 Grapal Street. The porch is just amazing. For the kids the dead-end street was ideal to play around. As the house is new it has all the modern comforts. Great kitchen with all the equipment you need. Lots of space and plenty of beautiful bathrooms. It was a pleasure to live there and we felt right away at home, which in the end is what it is all about. Furthermore the landlord has professional staff, very responsive in case needed.

— Tenants: Ken and Sandra, 412 Midland Avenue, Rye NY
We loved our two years in Rye! One big reason was that living at 351 Midland Ave was a real pleasure! Thanks to a caring landlord – Paul – and his wonderfully efficient and very kind team – Liz & Todd – even if there was some problem, it was fixed in no time. The house was perfect for the five of us, plus our cat Snoopy and dog Lucy – they greatly enjoyed the garden and the area in general.
We can only warmly recommend to everyone who moves into the area and is looking for a great place to live and be happy to contact Paul Varsames Development.
— Tenants: Chris and Claire - 351 Midland Avenue, Rye NY
I lived in one of Paul’s homes for the last year and couldn’t have been happier with the experience. 214 Central Ave is a lovely home. As well as being new, with up to date decor, fixtures and appliances, it is spacious, has lots of light, a great floor plan, and is in a very good location, all attributes that were important to me. This, coupled with the exceptional service provided by Liz and Todd, who made the move in, the stay, and the move out very smooth, made my transition between homes very easy. I highly recommend renting a home from Paul.
— Tenant: Carol - 214 Central Avenue, Rye NY
We had a great experience renting a Paul Varsames home. Everything in the house worked perfectly and the few times that there were minor issues, Liz and team sent someone over to fix it ASAP. Everything about the house was perfect for our family as we moved out of the city. We’d highly recommend renting from Paul Varsames.
