P rovincial Realty’s Thamara Paparoni has done plenty of homebuying and selling on her own behalf—and not just for properties she personally planned to reside in long-term. “My husband and I are in the Airbnb business, but we also have rental properties, which are amazing investment opportunities,” she explains. “Since we moved to PEI ten years ago, we’ve flipped four houses.”
“My Goal is to Help”
For those “staging” their home—either for sale, or as a rental property—she offers advice on creating an elegant interior. “Choose the right materials, and finishes that suit the property.

Either way, she’s less focused on a home’s first-glance aesthetics than its underlying qualities—which can help her clients hone in on spectacular properties. “When looking for a home that needs TLC, but has potential, I always tell my clients to make sure the structure, roof, siding and windows are in good shape,” explains Thamara (who says an adequate home inspection is also vital). It’s been well over a decade since she started applying her ability to detect “potential” to her personal purchases. “I bought my first home in Ontario fifteen years ago, and it needed a lot of TLC—from paint to floors to opening walls!”
