Paula and I worked together at Wells Fargo Home Mortgage for several years. Paula is a dedicated, professional and enthusiastic go getter.... Paula has a sunny spirit that is very contagious.... Paula you will be a great asset to any company you choose to join

I can HIGHLY recommend Paula Collins when you are looking for a Mortgage Broker - she is an expert at explaining the ins and outs of the mortgage process and puts both first time and long time buyers at ease with the process- as an agent - I REALLY appreciate being able to reach Paula at almost any time of day or night (when I am doing a deal) it is great to know that if I am writing an offer on a Sunday afternoon I can reach her if I have any questions.......She is GREAT!
