Lower Mainland Living with Paula Sahota
103-3088 Croydon Drive V3Z 0T1 Surrey, BC, Canada

What's one thing you would love to have for Christmas this year? If it's a house, I can definitely help with that!

Business of the week: This week I want to give a big shout out to Hudson & Bentley, a local design company who customize anything and everything. They provide a variety of decal options as well as one of a kind custom crafted items. I custom ordered these Among Us mugs for my kids as stocking fillers, and I was very impressed with the turnaround and quality of the merchandise. I highly recommend using Hudson and Bentley!

The days are getting shorter, the nights are getting longer, and the air is getting colder! There's never been a better time to snuggle up and order in! Here are 3 of my favorite delivery options in South Surrey: Skip the dishes Door Dash Ubereats... What's your favourite food delivery company?

Question: What is your preferred Architectural Style: Cape Cod, Craftsman, Contemporary, Colonial, Mid-century modern, Farmhouse, Ranch or other?

Client feedback is very important to me, as I always want to make sure that I give my clients the best service possible. Yesterday I received this review from one of my clients and it made my day! Paula was kindly referred to us by our selling agent to help us find a townhouse in the South Surrey area. We had no idea what buying was going to look like in October during a global pandemic, but Paula made the process very easy for us. She was as patient with us as she was org...anized with viewings. We had a very hard time finding the right place within our budget and Paula made the process so much easier. She was very personable, punctual and professional; she organized viewings for us extremely efficiently. When it came time to make an offer, once again Paula was on the ball and we really felt like she was fighting for us. Choosing a realtor and buying property can be a stressful experience, especially during these unprecedented times, but Paula really went above and beyond for us. We would easily work with her again in the future and highly recommend her! Jeff and Christine Thank you Jeff & Christine! It was a pleasure working with you!

Lest we forget. On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, we shall remember them.

Gorgeous day for showing houses! #lovewhereyoulive

The busier I get, more often I forget to create time to catch my breath. This job is personal to me and I have to be able to be attentive to my clients wants and needs through a (sometimes) very lengthy process. What do you do when you get too busy to recharge? Do you power nap or power through?

Hey Sullivan Station! The monthly real estate stats are in for September 2020, and it was another busy record breaking month! The Fraser Valley real estate market saw the highest number of sales for September in the history of the FVREB. We are also seeing a shift in demand towards single family homes, as people are looking for more space and livability in both single family homes and townhomes.... For many buyers their buying power is greater than it has been in a while, and with inventory lower than normal Sellers are realising that now is a good time to list. If you are thinking of buying or selling, now would be a good time to do so. Give me a call or send me a message - I'm here to help!

In real estate, you have to be able to multi-task. I wasn't always the best at this but after so many years, experience has taught me some lessons on juggling it all and looking good doing it! How about you? Are you a multi-tasker? Or a one-thing-at-a-timer?
