Paula’s clients describe her best: She has unsurpassed enthusiasm for the smallest detail when it comes to achieving her client's goals. “Personable, knowledgeable, intelligent, motivated, a marvelous advocate and compassionate” top the list of accolades she regularly receives and deservedly so. We give Paula a perfect "10."  
   
Paula came to the real estate industry with a background in securities and real estate law, real estate lending and investment banking. She spent 10 years working in several large San Francisco law firms specializing in complex real estate transactions, initial public offerings, leveraged buy-outs and mergers and acquisitions.  
   
After receiving an MBA in Finance, Paula honed her financial skills working for two private San Francisco-based securities brokerage houses beginning her career covering the banking and gaming industries and thereafter as a member of a corporate finance group working on initial and secondary public offerings for small cap growth companies.  When it made market sense, Paula moved to the mergers and acquisitions department of a boutique international investment bank.  As the securities markets changed, so did Paula.  Her insatiable creative energy and business acumen for the financial side of the real estate business made for a supremely successful transition into the real estate industry.  
 
 
Originally from Indiana, Paula came to California more than three decades ago. She considers herself one of San Francisco's biggest enthusiasts and as such involves herself in a variety of community-related volunteer activities and non-profit organizations.  Today she uses her keen research, interpersonal and communication skills to help buyers and sellers of San Francisco Bay Area properties.  Her results-driven talents combine with a deep love of San Francisco life which entails the arts, entertaining, enjoying nature, and spending time with her two German Shepherd dogs, Sherman and Red Buttons. Save German Shepherd Dogs.  A former Girl Scout, 4-H President, Big Sister, Cheerleader, and 4th Grade Public Library Queen, Paula's enthusiasm is indefatigable.
