Seller

Paula walked into my life at a time when I needed her the most and I wasn't even looking for a Realtor®. Probate had to close with regard to my Father's estate before I could sell the house, which wouldn't be for another 6 months. Paula waited patiently for the entire 6 months while still checking on me, the Probate process, and if I needed any help from her from time to time. Once Probate closed and the house could be placed on the market, Paula hit the ground running with renovations, staging, and marketing - without any hesitation. Paula exceeded my expectations once the Greenlight was given. No trials or issues during this process. Paula constantly would send updates on the progress of the house with regard to Vendors, Marketing, Offers, and the Closing of Escrow. Paula is very knowledgeable and honest about the entire House Selling process, which I very much appreciated having this being my 1st house to sell and not having a clue about the process. She is very mindful of the entire experience and involved parties. I would recommend Paula to anybody.

Well, this was just fantastic. There was an 'aura' that this was going to go well during the first meeting. And it exceeded expectations even of that. There were trials and tough areas to navigate, but we stayed in our "gold zone" and continued to work collaboratively to get things done through-ought the buying process. The support and introductions to locals that can help with almost any aspect of homeownership were a surprise and a huge asset. Having Paula on my team meant having an inside angle on any specialty needed to get things done for the home buying or home improvement processes. Post-closing, she was just exceptional in helping me get the 'final touches' taken care of when moving into the house. The little things that would fall through the cracks and create move-in frustrations she's so mindful of the entire experience. When most other people wave goodbye after the ink has dried and the dollar exchanged, Paula's still there. She even brought dinner for my first night in the house.

It's difficult to decide on where to start when describing Paula. Do I point out the tremendous depth and scope of her expertise in handling all the crucial details of a successful real estate transaction? Or should I highlight her professionalism and charm as she guides all parties towards a path of success for her clients? Maybe it would be most important to focus on Paula's seemingly endless energy as she works tirelessly towards optimal results for her clients. As I think of Paula and consider all she has done for me in handling all my real estate needs I come to a clear conclusion. What truly separates Paula from other excellent Realtors® is her genuine and sincere understanding of a client's concerns, questions, and goals. Paula cares about her clients which is evident from the moment you meet her to when you smile after a great transaction. If you are considering the service of a Realtor® I highly recommend Paula.

I don't even know where to begin to describe how amazing Paula Rose is. I am a public school teacher who was looking to buy a house in a highly competitive seller's market; the outlook wasn't good for me and my middle-class salary. Paula expertly guided me towards houses I could afford, and, once I got an offer accepted, helped me through every step of the process. The escrow process was excruciating, but Paula was amazing in talking with the lender and keeping everyone appraised about what happening. She is a luxury market specialist, but she showed incredible dedication in helping regular old me get a home for my family. If I could give her 10 zillion stars, I would. My kids and I now have a forever home, and I can continue to teach my students in the city that I love.

Working with Paula Rose was successful at all levels. First and foremost Paula delivered the bottom line sales results we both agreed to - in fact, her well-considered and tactical pricing approach over-delivered. She is very attuned to the unique nature of the overall economy and marketplace while also being sensitive to the nuances of each neighborhood and my home in particular. Don't expect a "cookie-cutter" sales approach from Paula; instead, she customizes every aspect of the pricing strategy, marketing, and negotiations. Paula will be at your side throughout the whole process - which is a pleasure as she's smart, knowledgeable, well-connected, resourceful, clever, and fun. I hope I get to work with her again.

My fiance and I worked with Paula to purchase our first home and I have nothing but great things to say about her. Paula is knowledgeable, personable, and works extremely fast and efficiently. She was always there to answer any questions from every single step during our home purchasing. Buying a home in San Francisco is not easy, but Paula knows this market very well, which eased my mind a lot when making the decision to send in offers. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an agent. She will never give you bad advice and always has her client’s best interest in mind. Thank you Paula for all you have done for me and my fiance I truly am happy we were able to work together.

Paula Rose is amazing. She worked tirelessly in getting our home ready to market. Paula has a bubbly and sparkling personality. We liked her instantly. She knows her market. She listens to her client's needs with a thoughtful ear and warm heart - understanding that it's always hard to let go of a home you've lived in for a very long time. Our home sold for considerably more than what our highest guess was, and that sure helped alleviate the sadness associated with such an emotional move. Now that's amazing. If you need a Realtor® you can count on and trust, then you will not be disappointed. You will be thanking yourself that you chose such a wonderful professional as Paula.

Paula Rose made our experience of selling our home of forty years bearable. We ran into a few challenges that to me were stressful, but she never let it deter her from performing her job in a professional yet very kind manner. Her continuous smile and genuine personal interest made us feel special. She promised everything was going to be alright and it turned out just as she said it would. She is a true asset to her profession. She also was very kind in working with our son and his team supplying information on how everything was going as he was in another state. If we had to do this all over again I would not even consider anyone else. We need more like her in this world.

Paula went above and beyond in helping my aunt sell her home at the above list price. Because my aunt was moving out of town, Paula agreed to find workmen and oversee their work, including inspections, painting, landscaping, floor finishing, and cleaning. and staging the home to show at its best. She also managed to stay within the general figure she gave us initially as to the cost required. The final result of the home was unbelievable; immaculate in every way. She kept us well informed as to progress and when offers were received and gave us good advice on how to proceed and what to look for. Once again, thanks Ms. Rose for a professional job well done.

Buyer / Seller

Paula helped me buy a house before it was listed on the market, so I didn't have to compete with other buyers. She somehow knew that the owner might want to sell the house, and asked if I would be interested. She then talked to the owner and negotiated on my behalf. The seller needed to sell the house quickly and didn't want to go through the trouble of getting the house ready and listing it on the market, so Paula was able to get me that way house for less than market value. Paula is a pro when it comes to real estate, and she is also a great person to be around. If you need to sell or buy real estate, I highly recommend Paula.

Paula helped me and my family sell our family home of 40 years in Ingleside Terrace last year. It was along the lines of probate sale that occurred as a result of the passing of the mother. It was a very emotional time but Paula helped us stay focused and sought our best interest in making good decisions to maximize the most outcome from the sale. The sale proceeds went to pay expenses for attorneys fees, taxes, sibling beneficiary proceeds, etc. Paula's knowledge and abundant resources helped the process go smoothly. We appreciate having her on our team at such a critical time in our lives that changed us forever.

Paula Rose helped us sell our San Francisco home of 24 years. From the initial conversation to the closing conversation Paula remained an exceptional Realtor®. She was knowledgeable on how our home should be presented to the public, she was shrewd in marketing our home to get the top dollar, which I might add was beyond what we expected, and she is a Realtor® of integrity, which you often do not find these days. One of the first things she told us was “my job is to protect you” She kept her promise. Thank you so much, Paula. Five stars simply are not enough to describe the exceptional service provided to us by Paula.

Buyer / Seller

Paula Rose is one of the most highly impressive Real Estate Professionals I have ever worked with. As a single woman, and a first-time home buyer, I was nervous and cautious about the home buying experience; but Paula walked me through the process with ease and confidence. She was never pushy, but always practical and honest. 14 years later, I worked with her again to sell the same property. The process was smooth, easy, and quick, even though I completed everything halfway across the country. I highly recommend Paula.

Tony N.

Paula is a consummate professional. She is proactive and attentive to the needs of her client. She was able to explain the current state of the real estate market in a way that we could feel comfortable writing an offer with the appropriate terms and conditions. She had her pulse on the comparable prices and gave a realistic analysis of the values of the properties. She was a joy to work with and we highly recommend her.

Bill R.

The reason Paula was chosen is because of her honesty and integrity. I have no problem recommending her to Family and Friends. She knows the business like the back of her hand, knows the market well, and how to shake things up. She was very responsive to my phone calls, emails, and texting. The property was fairly priced and sold at a fair price if a very short while.

Seller

Paula is the best agent my wife and I have ever worked with. She is knowledgeable of the marketplace, which allows her to make sound recommendations on any situation you might be in; buying a house or selling your home. When the offers came in, her negotiating skills got us our asking price. I would recommend Paula to anyone who's in the market to buy or sell a home.

Luchiano

Very knowledgeable and professional. Always answers the phone, even on weekends. As an investor, she is there to protect my assets. I get the feeling that she makes her decisions with a purpose and cares about making the right offer. She's great at making reasonable goals and accomplishing them. I would recommend Paula to anyone.

Washim

My family has worked with Paula three times; in each instance, she masterfully addressed all of our concerns, addressing each one with a creative solution, or, finding an exceptional resource. I do not have any qualms recommending Paula's services to anyone requiring an experienced, well-qualified Realtor®.

Laurie W.

Paula Rose is an A1 agent. She is the ultimate professional and a joy to work with. She went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that our experience was a smooth process. I strongly recommend her to anyone who needs assistance with their housing needs.

Paula is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. She answers all of your questions promptly and is willing to go out of her way to research your concerns and make you feel more at ease with the home buying process.
