Thamara Paparoni - Provincial Realty Connecting With Clients
A fter buying and renovating properties with her husband for over a decade, Thamara Paparoni finally decided to take the leap and make it official, becoming a REALTOR © five years ago. A real estate agent with Provincial Realty in Charlottetown who speaks fluent Spanish, Paparoni says it’s her varied life experiences, which have included living on three continents—and in 14 different houses—that help her stand out and connect with clients. “I know what it takes to make such a change of life, but I also understand on a deeper level what it feels like,” she says. “I have also experienced moving multiple times, so I understand the concerns and emotions of my clients.” Paparoni says she is more interested in quality of service than quantity. “I work really hard and always think outside of the box.” One of those “outside of the box moments” occurred during her first year of real estate. She had a client who wanted to live in a specific neighbourhood in Charlottetown, but there was nothing for sale in the area at the time. “So, I decided to knock on doors in the middle of the winter and find someone who would consider moving and selling their home,” Paparoni says. “Finally I found someone interested, and it was the perfect house for them! It was just perfect!” It’s this type of passion and enthusiasm that keeps Paparoni’s clients satisfied and only too quick to sing her praises. "I have been fortunate to have Thamara
Paparoni act as my real estate agent for a few years now,” says Pat Sherk. “Having both bought and sold houses through Thamara, I have always found her to be extremely professional, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic. Thamara ‘knows her stuff,' and I highly recommend using her services." It’s her dedication to her job and her passion for her clients that keep Paparoni going the extra mile. “I love helping people, getting to know them and doing something different each day. Most days I feel like a matchmaker.” That is something William Harper and Stiana Qui can attest to. “What made Thamara different and what we believe set her apart was her humanness,” they wrote in an email. “What we mean by that is, no matter how miniscule our questions were, she always had time for us. We never felt like we were a bother, and she always made us feel important. She made us feel like more of a friend than a client, [and was] someone we could really trust. She helped us find a number of potential options, and in the end, we found the right property.” It’s no surprise then that Paparoni was the recent recipient of the Provincial Realty Titanium Award, which awards team members with some of the highest sales in the company. “Her business continues to grow dramatically each year with her easygoing, positive attitude,” says her broker, Greg MacDougall.
concerned about the real estate market during the time of Covid-19, Paparoni is quick to point out that the market will not only bounce back but thrive. “In the 2008 crash, we can see how the prices of homes went down throughout the country, but it wasn’t too long after when the price of homes started to rise again,” she says. While she says prices will likely fall in the short term, the long term fundamentals haven't changed. “We have seen huge price increases on PEI for the past five years due to immigration, which will likely continue after we have this situation under control. Thankfully, in previous recessions, we have seen the economy not only get back to where it was, but [become] stronger than before. These recessions only push us to work hard, become more creative and prepared.” While the future is still unknown, Paparoni says she’s optimistic. “I feel pretty positive we, as an Island, will come out stronger. We will support more local businesses, and work together and drive our local economy to succeed.”
You can add that to her keen business sense. While some people might be
