Paul Swanson
Swanson, Paul - Baird & Warner / Closer To Home
Realtor
I am a husband, a father, a REALTOR, community volunteer, connector, music industry veteran, Spartan Alumni engager, all-day breakfast lover, novice DIY’er, leaf pile jumper and an always practicing Comedy Sportz enthusiast. I enjoy a good symphony, a mild Robusto, bingeing The Office, “taking-in” Wrigley Field, laughing ‘til it hurts, spur-of-the-moment adventures with my daughters and any date night with my wife – no matter the time or location. 
 
When it comes to real estate? My focus is you. This is your home – potentially the largest investment you will have in your lifetime. I get that. You deserve an agent who listens, cares and communicates. You deserve an agent with market expertise and one who is proactive and follows through. I will be there with you from contract to close – to assure a smooth process.
