As a New Jersey real estate professional with Century 21, I take pride in helping clients navigate one of the biggest decisions of their lives—buying or selling a home. Real estate isn’t just about transactions for me; it’s about building relationships, understanding each client’s unique needs, and making sure the entire process feels smooth and stress-free.
I specialize in working with buyers, sellers, luxury, rehab and those looking to transition into active adult and 55+ communities. Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer searching for the perfect place, a seller looking to maximize your property’s value, or someone ready for a fresh start in a new chapter of life, I’m committed to guiding you with honesty, expertise, and care.
What sets me apart is my attention to detail, strong communication, and ability to simplify what can often feel overwhelming. I take the time to explain each step, provide clear guidance, and leverage Century 21’s trusted brand, innovative tools, and powerful marketing to deliver real results.
My clients know me as approachable, hardworking, and deeply dedicated to their success. I’m not just here to help you buy or sell a house—I’m here to help you find your home and achieve your real estate goals.
When I’m not working with clients, I enjoy exploring New Jersey’s communities, spending time with family and friends, and staying involved locally.

Isabel Batista, Lyndhurst, New Jersey
Sometimes we get lucky and hit the jackpot...
We hired Paula on gut feeling and she turned out to be better than we anticipated.
Always on top of any issue and very very very effective.
Paula was helpful and did much more that we could require from any realtor.
We really appreciated our experience with Paula and ANY need we may have for a realtor in her area ...our choice is done!
Highly recommended.

I was so fortunate to find Paula Santos. She provided excellent service, and helped me not only in finding a house, but negotiated a great deal for me. She readily shared her knowledge and contacts which helped me tremendously. She was always accessible to me and my family. My family intends to work with Paula again in the near future, after seeing how awesome she was when working with me.
