North Shore Views

Meet Paula Weiss

I’ve been in real estate on the North Shore for the last seventeen years.  Prior to entering the real estate industry I spent fifteen years in public relations and marketing representing such companies as Paramount Pictures, The Goodman Theatre, Hyatt Hotels and The Washington Opera at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

As a Realtor, my strong business background allows me to bring a unique creative vision to the sales process in today’s competitive marketplace. Having renovated and built several of my own homes I have developed a talent for helping buyers recognize a property’s potential. I have also worked extensively with builders and developers, providing a wide range of services, from identifying viable sites, reviewing architectural designs and interior finishes to offering extensive marketing support.

Buying Your Next Home
I would love to advise you on your next home purchase. I am adept at helping both first time buyers and experienced investors find the ideal property that fits their needs, lifestyle, and financial plans. My extensive knowledge of North Shore communities has made me one of the most in-demand relocation experts, and I love having the opportunity to work with clients who are seeing our beautiful towns for the first time. I feel a tremendous responsibility to make sure that the entire process goes as smoothly as possible. I work hard to ensure that you feel ‘at home’ from day one. I will be your adviser, market analyst, aggressive negotiator, and confident real estate professional throughout the entire process.

Listing Your Home
As a listing agent, I have had remarkable success in a challenging environment.  I think this can be attributed to my strong marketing background and my ability to analyze what buyers perceive as ‘value pricing’ which is critically important for success.   I place a strong emphasis on staying up to date on the North Shore market as well as surrounding communities. I understand that to make a fully informed decision about the list price of your home, you need to understand the competition, not just your next door neighbors, but the market conditions of the other North Shore communities that will most certainly directly affect the sell-ability of your home. In addition to informed pricing, I will market your home extensively, especially online, where over 90% of today’s buyers begin their search. Your home will appear on Trulia, Zillow, Realtor.com, Redfin, It’s own website (guaranteeing ‘googleability’), Coldwell Banker National and Local (the latter of which receives over double the online views of any competitive brokerage), and over 60 more popular search sites. You’ll find that I have the experience, persistence, marketing and business acumen to successfully sell your home and looks forward to working with you.

Personal Background
A long-time North Shore resident, I raised my son in the New Trier school district and have lived in the community of Glencoe for the past 10 years. One of my greatest joys in life has been my role as a mother and I am so proud of my son who is a recent graduate of Yale University and is now attending Yale Law School. I have a deep affection for the North Shore and all of the special amenities it has to offer. I am a frequent visitor of the Chicago Botanic Gardens and take pleasure in acquainting my clients with the hidden gems that can be found in this wonderful community. When not out enjoying the Shore and the City I can be found in my community of Glencoe walking my two dogs, ‘Molly’ and ‘Lily’
