Pauline believes that her responsiveness is one of her keys to success. “In a world of instantly available information, promptness is critical and technology plays a big role,” she said. “I connect with my clients through email, text messages and social media. I look up answers immediately, create documents on the go and even send listing pictures through iMessage! Investing in good technology equipment also helps me better manage my appointments and my business.”
Pauline was born in Paris, France, lived there for eight years, moved to Macau and immigrated to the U.S. when she was 13. “Having had the opportunity to experience different cultures has honed my adaptation skills and fostered a greater sense of flexibility,” she said.
