I don’t even know where to begin describing what a blessing Paula has been for my parents and our family. Helping my 80-year-old parents buy a home was no small task, but she handled it with such patience, kindness, and genuine care that it felt like she was looking after her own family. She guided them through every step, explained things clearly, checked in constantly, and made sure I was involved so they never felt alone or overwhelmed. She truly went above and beyond in every way. There are professionals who do their jobs well—and then there are rare people like her, who lead with heart. We’ll always be grateful for everything she did for us. I wholeheartedly recommend anyone looking for a realtor in Salem look no further than Paula!

My husband and I worked with Paula Fordham for over a year in an attempt to purchase a single story, single family home in the Salem, Oregon area. Paula always responded quickly to our requests and was able to schedule viewings at short notice. She was very adept at understanding immediately the type of home we were looking for, often pointing out potential problem areas for us that we missed. Above all, Paula was consistently friendly and had a good sense of humor, while maintaining her professionalism at all times.
Paula provided exceptional service to us, providing guidance throughout the complicated processes that make up real estate transactions. Her deep experience in the field informed her recommendations and she patiently explained the why behind those recommendations. Her patience and understanding rival that of my best counselors, and she helped us navigate many difficult decisions and some setbacks none of us expected. She has great local connections for contractors and inspectors, and she did an incredible job showcasing our farm in spite of the the dreary wintertime. She went way above and beyond to help us find the perfect realtor to help us find suitable property in Washington and continued to provide support and helped us all as a team. I cannot recommend her highly enough--she will be right there beside you every step of the way to finding and securing your next home or finding the best buyers for your current home.
Paula was very helpful in finding the right home for me in Salem. She knew exactly what I needed and we finally found it. She communicated frequently and helped me in all aspects of the buying process. Her expertise is outstanding.
Paula has helped my husband and me buy and sell two homes in South Salem over a five year period. Having persuaded my aging mother to relocate from another town to a place closer to us in Salem, we turned to someone we've grown to trust. Paula was at her best as we navigated the search for a right-size, single level home that suited my octogenarian mother's needs and tastes. Once the search was narrowed to a select few, Paula was enormously helpful to Mom in working through the anxieties of closing a deal. I personally appreciated Paula's knowledgeable approach to issues and patient reassurance throughout the transaction. She is the consummate professional...and my Mom loves her!
Paula is a pleasure to work with. The biggest benefit for us was her thoughtful candor and well-informed guidance throughout the process. She kept things moving between all of the parties involved and provided active yet calm oversight. We would highly recommend Paula Fordham to anyone buying or selling in this area.
