Drawing from her own words

“Our human body is the Temple for our Soul... and our 'Home' is an extension of this Temple.” Paula approaches buyer representation as an intimate exploration, prioritizing clients’ personal stories and aspirations to align properties with their lifestyles. For sellers, she emphasizes “unbending trust” and transparency, ensuring consistent communication to reinforce professionalism and market expertise. This philosophy underpins her work with both individual investors and land development promoters, blending strategic marketing with deep market analysis.

Her relocation to Cascais in 2020 marked a new phase, partnering with KW Select’s network of 200+ professionals to offer tailored insights into residential and commercial projects.
