About Paula Whiteman
Hi, I’m Paula Whiteman and I’m super-excited about the prospect of helping you find your dream home – or selling your current investment so you’re able to progress toward your next opportunity!
Residential real estate represents so much in our lives – it makes a significant difference to our lifestyles, our sense of place, our family’s wellbeing, our communities, and our financial stability and future security.
Whether you’re in the market to buy or sell, I acknowledge and respect the fact there’s a lot riding on your investment.
While it’s true that any agent’s focus should be to sell a property to its market potential, and to match the buyer to the property – the best agents also focus on establishing authentic, long-lasting relationships.
And I regard myself as among the best.
I want to gain a full understanding of my clients’ aspirations, and help every one of them map out a way of achieving their dreams. I want to be part of the journey, because I know what a genuine thrill it is to share in a client’s milestones and ultimate achievements.
I have loads of enthusiasm, energy, and drive. I also pay close attention to detail, because it’s frequently the small things that make negotiations, and closing-the-deal, run smoothly.
It’s natural to be anxious about what’s often people’s largest lifetime financial investment, but I’m lucky enough to be well backed by the resource and experience of the wider Lodge team; I believe a big part of my job is to alleviate stress and focus on ticking off the smaller ‘turning points’.
Another major part of my job is to recommend best marketing options for your property. If you’re selling we want to maximise the market potential in your property. We want to play to the property’s strengths, and we want to reach the widest audience possible for your property. I’ll give you options in terms of mainstream marketing and advertising, and we’ll consider the best websites and social media channels to promote it. We’ll also decide on the best avenue for the sale (auction, tender, view-by-appointment, open homes/direct sale).
If you’re buying, I’ll ensure I’m deeply mindful of your priorities and criteria – when a suitable home comes up, I want you to be among the first on the scene so we can capitalise on all available opportunities – believe me, there are still some gems out there! A big part of my job is having intimate knowledge of what’s happening in Hamilton’s dynamic, wide-ranging, market. I have key contacts at agencies throughout Hamilton – my radar is always working!
I know my success depends on your success. I’m willing to forge deep connections with my clients and to look after your best interests. Give me a call today.
