Paula had a very calming, professional presence to her. Paula was on-time, knowledgeable, brought up important points, suggestions and realistic timelines. Home looking is exciting and stressful and a good Agent in my opinion, reels you in a little towards reality. Pumping the brakes. Paula's communication was consistent and accurate and she was there when I needed her. Certainly made the process easier for me and I am happy to have worked with her.
