"We first met Paula when she was part of the Whistler Exclusive Properties team. She managed the rental of our condominium in Whistler when we were home in Dallas, TX. We never worried about our property because she understood our needs and priorities , monitored the property appropriately and communicated with us frequently. She superceded our expectations of a property manager by arranging a viewing of and a meeting with the owner of another condominium that we eventually purchased. Paula is honest, considerate and very effective as a property manager and we highly recommend her now as we did to friends when she was working in Whistler."
