For 35 years, I owned and operated a neighborhood restaurant in New York. Everyone who worked with me was taught the same greeting when someone walked through the door: Welcome.
It was a simple word, but there was a lot behind it. It meant paying attention. Listening. Understanding who was sitting in front of you and what they needed. Some people wanted conversation. Others wanted privacy. Some were regulars who felt like family; others were visiting for the first time. The point was never to treat everyone the same.

Born and raised in Cali, Colombia, Paola became aware of the profound importance of real estate at a young age. Her childhood home was host to frequent, large family gatherings. And those were mostly full of love. She also has lots of great memories from those get-togethers. But importantly, Paola felt and observed the profound connection between a home and a person’s (and family’s) well-being, comfort, and happiness. That understanding serves as additional motivation for Paola to help her clients buy and sell real estate. From an early age, Paola was surrounded by several great real estate mentors. Her grandfather and uncle owned numerous investment properties and her father was a very active and successful civil engineer.
