Professional friendly and communicative.

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.

Very easy to relate to, with a genuine effort to help with our sale.

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 instills confidence in her sellers and buyers making the process seem seamless and achievable.

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.

Market knowledge and professionalism very good.

Market knowledge and professionalism very good.

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.

Seller review
Our House sold in three weeks.

Our House sold in three weeks.

We engaged Paula on recommendation from a friend and how pleased we did. Paula is very well versed with Real Estate in Kerikeri and her knowledge of the market exceptional. Her willingness to help was second to none and her depth of database information wide reaching. Within three weeks from listing Paula presented us with two offers from purchasers of which we accepted one. If you are considering buying or selling property certainly list with Paula.
