I want to leave a review for Paula McCormack (with Modern Living Group) as a real estate agent in Palm Beach County, FL. Saying she went above and beyond is a huge understatement. She is absolutely amazing at what she does and not only is she an expert in her field but also the nicest and most friendliest persons I know. I first met Paula 7-8 years ago when I was trying to rent an apartment on Singer Island because it was close to work and she was involved with the apartment leasing for the one I had found. My credit was not the greatest at the time however I had the income to pay for the apartment and she made a huge recommendation on my behalf to the owner that basically offset the not so great credit and was really the main reason I was able to get into that apartment. Without her recommendation and finalizing my application and working with the owner, there is no way I dont think I would have been approved. I remember when she called to tell me I was approved, she told me to save my money and when I was ready to buy a house, call her. She stayed in touch with me for the next 5 years sending Christmas cards and brief check in messages. I did what she said and saved up money and worked hard - and when it was time to buy my first home, I called Paula. She welcomed my call and started to go to work right away sending me options etc. and educating me on the home buying process. I was a first time home buyer so I had no idea what I was doing - she was key not only with her knowledge of how to find available homes that match the style of what I was looking for, but also how the entire mortgage lending process, inspection process, home buying and closing process worked, set up everything and proactively communicated to me what I needed to do every step of the way. We looked at everything in the beginning...town homes, condos, and houses as I wasnt sure exactly what I wanted. During this process Paula was awesome. She was at the highest stage of professionalism, and always communicated honestly and promptly and answered any questions I had. After looking for a few months and finally finding what I wanted, she made key suggestions to ensure the house I wanted was indeed what I wanted. She strongly recommended to perform due diligence once I found the house I really felt like I wanted, to go and look at as many other houses in the area on the market to compare and to be sure. So the very next day she had already found 5 + houses that were similar in the same area on the market, and we went and looked at all of them every day after my work, she would meet me at one of the houses for a viewing. She did all of the coordination with the home owners and sitting agents to arrange the viewings for after 5pm to accommodate for my work schedule. She was always available and proactively communicated with me the important things I needed to be aware of all the way through closing. She even called on my behalf to the seller's agent and made a huge recommendation since there were multiple offers on the house - and came up with a super clutch idea that actually awarded me the house in the bidding/offering process. It was her idea and technique (I wont reveal her strategy which does set her apart) that had my offer accepted against a highly competitive cash offer, Then after the closing she gave me the coolest gift to match the house perfectly, and bottle of champagne, and then continued to follow up each month afterwards to make sure I filed for the Homestead exemption. Without reservation I recommend Paula at the highest level possible. It really was a super smooth process. She listened to all my concerns, anxieties of a first time home buyer, and always had great viewpoints and insight. You can talk to her like you talk with your best friend. If you are looking for a real estate agent, you can rest assured when working with Paula, you will be dealing with one of the absolute best real estate professionals you can possibly work with!
