To: Yelp and all Yelp Review Readers:
Re: Cyber Smear: Libelous review of Cebulla & Associates
I'm writing this because I am very upset about the angry, unfair and defamatory review Lisa K wrote 3/8/2021 about Cebulla Associates. It was not right of her to make these serious and untrue allegations against Matt Cebulla, someone she does not even know. I feel this mean-spirited review should be withdrawn from Yelp.
I am a real estate development and building industry professional who has worked closely with Matt and Charles Cebulla for over 25 years...through over 500 successful luxury home building projects Cebulla designed and our company has built. I am also female! In no way has Matt (or Charles) ever been anything but professional, talented, knowledgeable, polite, diligent, and hard working. He has always been as responsive as possible.
Sure, there have been times I have called to leave a message more than once about a question, or emailed him again, because I know he is VERY BUSY fulfilling his other commitments and receives a lot of messages.
In working all these years with him, I am always fully aware I am not his only client; but he always goes the extra distance for us when needed. In our business, that's just how it works. Architect/Design Professionals are in high demand in our County and most good ones are backlogged.
If this person called because she had an emergency personal situation with the City of Grover Beach, she was likely stressed and in a hurry to solve her issue, and didn't understand what all is involved in the processing of building permits. There is nothing simple about a resubmittal! I know Matt tried to help them, because I called to ask him about this "review". Apparently she was impatient and thought she should be able to skip to the front of the line. Calling this man names and writing a scathing, libelous review to try to hurt this business should not be allowed in this forum.
Thank you for your consideration. You are welcome to contact me with questions or further comments or clarifications.
