Here’s what some of her clients have to say about her.
- “Serena Paulus has a spatial ability that I have never seen before. She can just look at a space and figure out how to maximize its effectiveness works very quickly and just “gets it done”. I never knew there were humans like her that existed on our planet; kind, thoughtful, generous of their time, super intelligent and can “re-engineer” a space (in her head, as it seems) quickly.”
- “If I could give her 10 stars, I would! Serena is a marvel and a delight. A true “Wonder Woman”! She is the epitome of hard work. She doesn’t stop, and I don’t know where she finds the energy. I worked with Serena for a year and a half when my parents began their downsizing journey from a 4500 sq. ft. home, to an 1800 sq. ft. cottage. They had a huge attic, garage and garden, also filled with stuff. (It was all GOOD stuff, too! Just ask my mom!) Serena is grace and kindness and thoughtfulness all rolled into one. She was so careful with my mom’s feelings and requests. She has the patience of a saint. She was present and mindful with every step. She ended up helping me drive them from Cambria to San Diego in 2 vans with 2 cats and my parents. She then came BACK to move my parents into their new home, unpacked every box and put everything away and even hung the art and pictures. Her last act was to get my dad out of the storage unit he thought he would have to pay for for forever by brilliantly organizing shelving in the new garage. We could NEVER NEVER NEVER done this without her help. She is worth every penny. I hope you are lucky enough to utilize her talents.”
