My 20+ years serving buyers and sellers is founded on a passion for design, marketing and excellence in all things real estate.  Core values such as authenticity, relentless pursuit of client goals and catering to each family’s unique needs bring reward and success for all.   I’ve helped hundreds of Northwest families through time-tested expertise with in-depth pricing analysis, premium presentations, robust marketing campaigns, efficient transaction/project management and strong yet cordial negotiations.  And last but not least is getting over the finish line with listings selling on average at 103.58% of list price.  Always with the goal of making the process easy and fun for clients.

CREDENTIALS

Certified Residential Specialist (CRS)
The prestigious Certified Residential Specialist designation is the highest credential awarded to sales agents, managers and brokers, representing the top 1% of agents and top 3% of Realtors nationally.  I have met rigorous educational, production and experiential qualifications to earn the CRS designation.

Senior Transitions Specialist (SRES)

The decision to become an SRES® is rooted in a desire to help others and enjoyment of the over-50 crowd aided by an ability to listen deeply, ask the right questions and take time for you to feel comfortable about life-changing decisions.  I'm familiar with both new and resale homes, condos and communities offering  one-level living and other features sought after after leaving the big family home.

Home Staging Expert
I've perfected my natural design talents for selling homes faster and at top dollar, educated by industry expert, Barb Schwartz, featured on the Today Show.  Staged homes sell (on average) 73% faster than un-staged homes.  My skills and network of professionals are invaluable in making the home improvements/renovations with highest appeal to buyers.  

National Assoc of Realtors - Windermere Standards of Practice
As a REALTOR® I adhere to a strict 17-article Code of Ethics.  Not every real estate broker is a REALTOR®.  To further reinforce Windermere’s commitment to our clients, we’ve built upon the Code of Ethics by establishing Windermere Standards of Practice, reviewed monthly to reflect market-related challenges.

WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING

"I've been reflecting on all that was accomplished in getting our Issaquah home ready for market and then being able to sell it.  We owe Paula (and Peter) a lot of thanks for making this all go as smoothly as it did.  Her upbeat, positive attitude, professional assessments and resources were a real blessing for us as we traversed this unfamiliar territory of downsizing and selling our home of many years.”      Ginny E., Seller

“Paula was great. She was amazingly helpful in all aspects of our engagement.  The collateral she prepared was top notch, and she always made sure everything was in perfect order for showings and open houses.   On the business side, she always made sure we understood everything being presented to us, and when it came time to accept an offer, she presented us with all of the options so we could make a great decision.  We highly recommend Paula!”   Kurt S., Seller

“We have used Paula now on 5 different transactions.  She has been superb on all accounts, both selling & purchasing!   She did all negotiations, and follow through was excellent.  She is very thorough from start to finish. She was open to suggestions as well.  She staged our home beautifully and received a full price offer.”    Alan K., Seller

"Together Paula and Annie have over 30 years of experience which certainly showed from the moment we first connected.  Being that it was our first time selling a home, we were extremely nervous.  My wife and I had countless questions and had no clue on where to begin.  After speaking with several realtors and getting nowhere, we were finally referred to Annie and Paula.  After our initial introduction, my wife and I knew it was a fit.  They were able to sincerely answer all our questions and provide specific reasoning to support each of their answers.  They were ALWAYS responsive, attentive, professional and genuine.  However the biggest thing that stood out was their honesty and integrity.  They were not representing us just to sell another home.  In fact, one of the first things they told us was regardless of whether we work together, they still want to help in any way possible.  It's no question that these two genuinely love helping people and have a passion for real estate.  All and all, after only ONE year of residence, we ended up selling our very first home for over $100,000 MORE than when we purchased it!  Oh, and did I mention that all of this was done DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC.  Truly just great people to be around, and I know we will use them the next time we buy or sell."    Charlie & Nicole W., Sellers

"I found Paula absolutely delightful to work with. Her knowledge is extensive, she's very patient, and her guidance was clear. I'll be recommending her to everyone I know who is looking to buy (or sell) a house. I'll definitely be working with her again in the future!"    Derek C., Buyer
