Paula O'Brien

Active listener, good communicator. Keeping us in the loop. Paula has a warm, friendly manner, at the same time her confidence was reassuring throughout the sales process in a competitive "house selling" market.

Paula has kept us informed throughout the selling process. We would definitely recommend her to sell your property. Communication has been excellent. She helped us purchase our next property also along with a colleague. Very friendly and professional.

Paula communicated well, knew the local market and was honest with her approach. She told it like it is. She gave sound advice on pricing and negotiations. Paula has a relaxed and friendly personality while remaining very professional. We would certainly recommend Paula to market a Kerikeri property.

Paula is a great communicator, I thank her for the prompt sale of my property. It was handled efficiently and professionally.

Paula, along with a colleague sold our very unique property at Lake Owhareiti when we had despaired of landagent interest or agency. With Paula the process was seamless, calm and understandable. Her knowledge and professionalism at that time, although a newbie land agent made her stand out head and shoulders above her colleagues. She engages personally with her clients, prepared to become a key player with, not over, her clients. She is personable, committed, compassionate and always has a sparkle about her. Problems are not problems for her but an opportunity to seek reasonable and achievable solutions. She is not pushy, persuasive nor is she opinionated. Quite some landagent.

Paula's market knowledge was very good. It was a testing market; we had spent quite a bit of money on staging. So were a little disappointed to learn after 4 weeks the question hadn't been asked of potential buyers about how the price sat with them. I think Paula's professionalism may have erred on the side of being too cautious in our case, not wanting to influence our decision on the price we were asking. Once we had voiced our concerns, (as all the feedback we had was very positive, but no sale.)Paula promptly followed up, and we decided that in the present climate, the asking price was a little high. Paula immediately had the place signed up with one of the first interested parties. A learning curve for us all in this difficult economic climate. We would still recommend and use Paula again to sell or purchase a property for us.
