Testimonials
What Paula’s clients say
Paula is well connected, knowledgeable and very efficient. I have worked with Paula a number of times now, and it is always a pleasure. She gets fully involved in the sales process and assists wherever needed. The communication is spot on, and Paula ensures that the process is well planned and efficient. Paula is always my first point of recommendation to anyone I talk to who is thinking of buying or selling a property.
I found Paula very knowledgeable and kind. Explaining every step of the way in detail. Paula is very professional, but still kind and made sure I understood everything. She went through the documents, explaining everything. She handled the whole process with calm self-assurance. My family and friends all commented with high praise on the quality of the photos taken of the property. Many of the private viewers came for a viewing due to the professional photos she wanted from the photographer.
Easy, quick and efficient. Paula was very easy to work with. She was quick to answer my enquiries and was also a great person to work with. I am grateful for her work and that she made me feel comfortable and confident in the purchase of my first home.
I recommend Paula Ihaka as your real estate agent if you are selling your home. Paula's market knowledge was thorough and informative, helping me set an achievable price for going to market. Her communication and professionalism were impeccable before, during and after the sale process. I am very happy that I chose to engage Paula to represent me in taking my property to market. I won't hesitate to employ her services again for my next real estate requirements.
Highly Recommend Paula - A True Professional!
Paula is absolutely fantastic - a highly professional agent who brings a personal and thoughtful approach to every step of the process. Selling our home was far less stressful than I expected, thanks to Paula's robust planning, extensive knowledge, and incredible attention to detail.
She anticipated potential outcomes and was fully prepared for each one, ultimately saving us valuable time, money, and energy. Her experience and strategic mindset truly made all the difference.
I feel incredibly grateful to have worked with Paula not only now, during the sale of our home, but also 10 years ago when we bought it. Her consistent excellence and dedication over the years speak for themselves.
Paula was great to deal with, liaising between the vendor and us. Paula was quick to come back with answers to our queries. She even took us over and introduced us to the neighbours when the house settled.
Got the job done; no nonsense.
I first met Paula a few years ago and was impressed with her professionalism, so when the time came to sell something myself, I got in touch. While settlement is still a way off, we have sealed a deal in difficult times and, I think, done quite well, all parameters considered. She provided regular updates on the people she'd shown through the property and relayed their feedback. Even once we had an offer, Paula kept working hard, with great tenacity, to show other potential buyers through, in case things didn't pan out. It's a tough time to be selling, whether you're the property owner or the agent; glad I found Paula.
Excellent communication, and following up on everything we asked for, or she said she was doing.
We would recommend Paula without hesitation. She was tireless in looking for more buyers, even up to the day before the auction. She was in constant contact with us from start to finish, and gave us a realistic idea of what we might expect. We really could not have asked for more.
