About Paula
Thank you for giving me this opportunity to introduce myself. I’ve helped hundreds of people buy and sell homes in and around Ngaruawahia, Hamilton and the wider Waikato, and I’m thrilled to have this opportunity to talk to you about yours. Buying or selling property is one of the biggest ‘life decisions’ most people will ever make, so it’s really important that you’re getting the right advice and support throughout the process. It also needs to come from somebody you can trust, somebody who knows what it takes to get you the best outcome, and somebody who knows the local market inside-out. If you’re considering me as your preferred real estate agent, you will no doubt have some questions! Have a read below to learn a little about me. The personal: I’m practically a born & bred local, having started primary school in Orini, then returning to complete my education at Ngaruawahia High School. Since then I’ve lived and worked locally, and now own LJ Hooker Ngaruawahia with Shayne O’Hagan. We both love the fact that we are locals, working with and supporting other locals in this fast-growing community. We often say there’s nowhere else we’d rather call home! The credentials: I’ve been in real estate for almost 20 years now, and have achieved many awards over that time. I was National Rookie of the Year when I first started in real estate, and more recently I obtained Multi Million Dollar Membership of the LJ Hooker Captains Club, an initiative that recognises high-achieving, customer-driven professionals across the LJ Hooker group. Prior to real estate I was a psych nurse, and this training has really been to my advantage in sales when it comes to negotiating and reading body language. It’s not always what you know, but who: Something we do often as real estate agents is to fix things, solve problems, and bring people together. I have an enormous local network - tradespeople, services, contacts - and that is the type of personal, localised experience that simply can’t be replicated unless, like us, you live, work and breathe local. And that’s me! Thanks for reading. I’d love to accompany you on your real estate journey, so please give me a call any time.

Exactly what I needed in my house buying journey!

Corinna did a fantastic job supporting me in buying her vendors property. As a single mum and buying my first home (and not necessarily having a good time with other agents due to what I think as a negative perception of being a single mum), she took the time to talk everything through with me (and provide translation with jargon!). I got a step by step guide through out the process and Corinna provided me support the whole way. She was calm and reassuring when I needed it and was very clear in all of our communications. I especially loved that she kept my expectations at appropriate levels and gave me best and worst case scenarios to make sure I was prepared. I really appreciated her honesty and integrity and would highly recommend her to others in the buyers market.

Knows how to sell lifestyle property

We were very happy to have David sell our lifestyle property, with his advice around the preparation and presentation, through the open home feedback and then the sale which was quick and a very good result for us.
