Paula is an incredible realtor and a wonderful human being. She is the definition of going above and beyond, and has done so countless times over the last 3 months we've had the pleasure of working with her as a buyer. She is not one of those corporate realtor/brokerage firms where you're just a number, a sale, and after the deal is done, you're lucky to get ahold of again. We closed a week ago and have a few things we're tying loose ends on, and she's been leading the charge! She's a genuine good person, incredibly responsive, honest and is who you want in your corner! We will absolutely do business

Paula was amazing in getting our home sold within the first week - AND she was also wonderful to work with. She is dedicated to representing her clients, responsive, honest, extremely helpful and hardworking, and went above and beyond in taking care of details from pre-listing through closing. We highly recommend her for your real estate needs!

Paula Marzella really knows the area surrounding Asheville and was able to guide and advise me as I was moving from a very different area (Charlotte). Paula is very straightforward and honest in her communications. She listened intently to my needs and was very open as we dialogued concerns and recommendations to fit what I was looking for. Paula… was able to find the perfect home for me that was exactly where I wanted to be in location, neighborhood and accessibility. We were also able to negotiate a home that appraised at full value, meaning I am able to walk in the door with equity. If

I picked Paula to help me sale my house because of her great reviews and she did NOT let me down. She went out of her way to help me get my house ready for the market and was very knowledgeable and professional. I was always in the loop and appreciated her communication, such as going over things I was not familiar with being a first time seller. Would highly recommend her! Thanks so much, Paula!

Paula represented my husband and I as a dual agent and did a fantastic job. She is a consummate professional, with integrity that is difficult to find today. Throughout the entire process she kept us updated via email, text, and phone calls explaining everything clearly and in detail. We had a 45-day escrow and the whole process was very smooth because of Paula's eye for detail. Approximately a week prior to close she emailed us a punch list of what we needed to do as far as utilities, mail, newspaper, etc. This list was a very helpful tool. We would highly recommend Paula without hesitation

I was very impressed with Paula as my realtor. She worked tirelessly with me to find a home that would fit as many of my needs and wishes as could be found. She gave me very good advice designed to protect me and my investment. She is a consummate professional and has a great knowledge of the workings of the real estate industry and most of Western North Carolina it seems. She isnt working for herself, she truly is working for her clients! Also, when we did find the perfect home, it was very sought after. It had eight showings its first day on the market, with more scheduled for the next

Paula is helping me find a home to settle in which fits my needs perfectly. She is definitely a top notch realtor who will listen to your interests and concerns and take them very seriously. She will go to bat for you like a pro to give you the best possible outcome in your search for a house. She has gone above and beyond what I expected, and in… fact, what any realtor has done for me in the past. She‘s very knowledgable about houses in general and is full of good ideas also. I have no experience with her selling a house, but I’m willing to bet she’s just as great! I would
