Paula Wertanen

Paula Wertanen, a full-service REALTOR® licensed in Oregon and Washington, brings over 30 years of negotiation expertise to clients throughout the Greater Portland metro and Southwest Washington. She specializes in luxury homes priced at $1 million and above and in 55+ communities such as Summerplace, Charbonneau, and Fairway Village. As a member of the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Luxury Collection, Paula is known for her discretion and experience in off-market and high-profile transactions, including executive-level acquisitions on the Vancouver waterfront.

While luxury and 55+ communities are key focuses, Paula serves clients at every stage—from first-time buyers to relocations and beyond—with the same level of care, communication, and advocacy.

For sellers, Paula’s strategic preparation and trusted contractor network often lead to multiple-offer scenarios, maximizing value and delivering exceptional results. On the buyer side, her negotiation skills and market insight help clients secure the strongest possible terms—whether identifying off-market opportunities or navigating competitive situations with confidence. In every scenario, Paula remains focused on delivering outcomes that align with her clients’ goals.

Her professional designations—CRS®, CFSP®, and SRES® (Seniors Real Estate Specialist)—reflect advanced training held by a select group of agents nationwide, reinforcing her expertise across both luxury properties and lifestyle transitions. Known for her calm presence, thoughtful guidance, and ability to anticipate what’s next, Paula delivers a highly personalized, results-driven experience from the first conversation through closing—and well beyond. Her business is built almost entirely by referral, a reflection of the trust she earns and the results she consistently delivers.
