Dream. Believe. Achieve. —Paula

About Paula

Hello, I am Paula. After almost 7 years working in the mining industry, I have decided to move onto something I am truly passionate about (other than plants), Real Estate!

I obtained my real estate licence in November 2020 and started my new career full time in February 2021 with Butterfly Realty Group. I am currently working along-side my beautiful mother and mentor Lida, who is bestowing her 30 plus years of real estate knowledge onto me. (thanks ma). I’ve been a P.A to my mum for several years and I am so excited for my new professional path. I think buying a home is a very special time and I am looking forward to making it a smooth and seamless experience for all buyers and sellers. I am an honest, hardworking person and know those traits are important in all industries, but especially with something that is such a big investment, both financially and emotionally.

I’m beyond happy and proud to be a part of the Butterfly Realty Group family team and can’t wait to meet and exceed the expectations of our buyers and sellers, present and future. I look forward to working with you.

Dream, Believe, Achieve.

My experience with Butterfly Realty, it has been a real pleasure to work with reliable honest people who do what they say. It has been an effortless process. I will definitely use Butterfly Realty again.

I seriously can not put into words how amazing and wonderful Lida is. It took us a very long time to choose our first house and not once did Lida try to rush us, push us or convince us to do anything we did not want to do. She continued to look for us, suggesting different options, locations and styles of houses til we found “the right one”. Always with a friendly manner and a “go the extra mile” attitude. We have bought two more houses since then and every time Lida has treated us with respect and professionalism. I would not use another real estate agent in Mackay other than Lida.

Just wanted to say again thank you so much for all your help during the process of buying. Its a big deal buying a home and it really made a difference working with someone who was so communicative, helpful and friendly. You were always very prompt getting back to me and answering my queries and making sure everything was happening as it should. I'd be happy to recommend you to anyone looking at selling or buying. Thanks again.

Sale of Kuttabul property. Juanita kept us up to date with any interest in the property and looked after the rental of the house and tenants while property was on the market. she was persistent in chasing up prospective buyers as other agents we have tried did nothing. Thanks to Juanita's persistence we finally sold the property just before Christmas.

Wouldn’t use any other agent! I don’t even know where to begin - Juanita was an absolutely amazing agent and helped us secure our dream house at the right price. It could have easily been a difficult process, as the seller was living internationally in a village with minimal communication available, and the property was rural - we had a lot of questions about boundaries, approvals, sewage/water set ups, engineering of retainment of the side of the hill the house is built on, etcetera. Juanita had all the answers and physically showed us everything we needed to know. We had three lengthy inspections of the property which is 30minutes out of town, and we never once were made to feel like an inconvenience (like another real estate company in the area had done when we asked to look at a property up the road - they also could not show us boundary lines and did not call us back when they said they would!). Juanita was transparent and factual, made negotiating easy and was not at all pushy. I highly recommend Juanita and can not fault her service!

Hi Lida and Paula, I cannot thank you both enough for the amazing help and support you have provided with selling our property. We had some ups and downs but you were there to guide every step of the way. Even managing to achieve somethings that the Solicitors could not agree on! It will be a few years before I sell but you will be the first on my list to call! Thank you every so much!
