On a personal note, “I love traveling, gardening, my pets and a really good glass of wine.”
Paula was a dream to work with. Not only did she have a positive outlook during the entire process, but she helped me sell my house! Would highly recommend her for any of your real estate needs!
I wish to direct your kind attention to Paula Guthrie who is indeed a real estate professional. From start to finish Paula was on top of everything and kept me informed almost on a daily basis. She held my hand and took care of me like a little baby. I highly recommend her for any of your real estate needs. She is honest ,above board and will take care of your business in a timely and professional manner. She is awesome!
Paula was a great help in my first home-buying experience. I had a limited budget and wanted a very specific location. Even within those limitations (and the fact that I was leaving the country for most of the summer for work), she found me a home in the exact location I was looking for and that I could afford. Paula was always in communication and answered my questions immediately any time I texted or e-mailed. She gave me great advice throughout the entire process and has continued to be a trustful source of help since the purchase. I couldn't have found a better agent and will recommend her to anyone I know who is looking for a house. She's the best!
