Paula Garnsey

Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, Paula is a California native to her core. She earned her BA in Business Communications from the University of Southern California and began her career in retail banking as a preferred banker, where she generated and funded residential mortgage loans while managing the needs of a diverse client base.

In addition to her banking career, Paula and her husband owned and operated a small business in the East Bay for 25 years, specializing in residential pool and spa service and repair. Their business became widely known for its attention to detail, reliability, and commitment to customer satisfaction.

Paula’s love for the Coachella Valley, along with having two sons living in Los Angeles working in the entertainment industry, led her to La Quinta, where she transitioned into real estate full-time in 2020. She brings a strong foundation in finance and business ownership to every transaction, serving her clients with integrity, dedication, and heart.

In her free time, Paula enjoys attending concerts and festivals, golf and tennis tournaments, and cheering on her beloved alma mater during BIG TEN matchups—Fight On!
