About Me

I’ve been representing clients in Oregon AND Washington as a Real Estate Broker since 1996. Those years of experience have made me a tough negotiator, who’ll work hard to find your best deal and my results are proof of that. My sales place me in top 1% nationally of all real estate professionals and among the Top 10 brokers in the Berkshire Hathaway NW Home Services network. And my 5 Star customer ratings are proof my clients are pleased with my results.

As a certified Seniors Real Estate Specialist I’ve completed special training to address the needs of home buyers and sellers age 50 , but I also offer a full suite of Real Estate services to buyers and sellers at every life stage. If you’re interested in buying or selling a home and need a bit of professional advice, let’s grab some coffee and chat. Then you can start telling me about your own story.

Selling Your Home

Sometimes, life just hands us the inevitable: just when everything seems right with your home, something happens and you have to sell your dwelling. No matter what your reasons are for selling, remember that now is no time to dawdle, the process of preparing a home for sale can take a month or more.

As you agent, I will be your guide through the home buying and selling process. I will help you save money, avoid costly mistakes, and answer any and all your questions.

My Clients

My clients each have their own life stories set out in stages: where they’ve been, where they are now, where they’re going, and where they dream to be. These stages fit together like puzzle pieces, forming a picture of their unique situations.

As a Real Estate Broker, my job is to learn my client’s stories to discover how I can best serve their needs as they are today, tomorrow, or 20 years down the road. That means the same listing won’t be right for every home buyer. The same buyer won’t be the right fit for every seller. Each unique situation requires a unique solution, and I’ve dedicated myself to finding them for everyone I work with.

Client Testimonials

Paula was so understanding, caring, and thoughtful of my parents.

Paula Wertanen was the most wonderful realtor to work with during the stressful time of selling my parents long time home. My parents had to move out of their beloved home of 50 years when my father developed Alzheimer’s disease.  Paula was kind, considerate, and always kept their wishes first hand. Paula worked very hard and staged the house and made sure everything looked great and was in good repair. As a result of her hard work the house sold the first day on the market with six offers.    I would highly recommend Paula to anyone needing to sell their home in a timely manner and for top dollar. She is a gem of a person to work with and very kind and caring.

Paula was an excellent asset and guide throughout the entire process!

Being first time home buyers, we were so excited to work with Paula. She offered excellent advice, exceptional service, and expert real estate advice. On top of that she became a great friend, confidant, and advocate – especially in our complicated negotiations. We couldn’t be happier with Paula as our agent and have already recommended her to friends.

P.S. She is tech savvy!

She has a tremendous work ethic.

Paula Wertanen helped us sell our first house and also buy our second house.  We’ve known Paula for years and appreciate her integrity and the hard work that she does for her clients.  She coached us on how to ready our home for the sale, and she helped us stage it to make it attractive to potential buyers.  She also advised us on the work to do to make the home ready for sale, so we wouldn’t waste money on some non-important detail.  Once we had it on the market, it sold in about 2 months for our asking price.  She also made it easy to get into our new home.  We recommend her to anyone trying to buy or sell a home.  She will stand by you during the whole process.  She cares about each client and makes sure you feel comfortable making the big decision to buy or sell a house.

Her kindness and obvious expertise quickly earned our family’s trust.

Paula helped our family through the difficult process of selling my parents long-time home after my father was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. She made many visits to see my parents and helped them understand the process, timing and other details involved in the sale. She was patient and very understanding of our particular needs and very flexible in altering the plans as circumstances required. She was very helpful in coordinating her efforts with the estate sale and with arranging the repair work and painting the house needed. We followed her advice and sold the house in only a few days for a very good price. The presentation of the house on the internet was beautiful and effective. I’d recommend Paula to anyone looking for a knowledgeable real estate professional.
