Rhoda Paul, Senior Associate

Rhoda brings a refreshing professional approach and a wealth of knowledge, experience, creativity and passion to the mortgage lending process. Well qualified and blessed with a great attention to detail, it is her care, compassion, integrity, commitment to excellence, tireless energy, and ever present sense of humor that she brings to every client and situation that truly set Rhoda apart. These qualities and a solid work ethic have had Rhoda become one of Holmgren and Associates’ top producers while earning her the distinction of being one of the “Top 200 Rookies of the Year – Nationwide” as a loan consultant in her first year.

Clients and realtors delight in working with her. From start to finish, they know they have an educator, a partner and an advocate working with them. They know that Rhoda will not only use her vast knowledge and resources of the mortgage industry to work with them to create the best solution for their needs but that she will do it in a manner which allows them to sleep at night. Clients can count on being “heard” and on being kept fully informed. Instinctively they know that Rhoda can be trusted, that they can believe what is being said and that she can be counted on to get the job done. Her many years of traveling the world (while holding senior management positions in sales, marketing and merchandising in the fashion industry) give her an uncanny ability to “think outside the box,” to remain calm and positive no matter how challenging the circumstances, and to work effectively in diverse situations. Clients can count on problems being anticipated and solutions found … ahead of time; there are no surprises. Promises made are promises kept. Rhoda gets the result; her transactions close on time.

An ex-New Yorker, Rhoda makes her home in the Montclair hills of Oakland where she lives with her beloved Bouviers des Flandres dog, TJ. In her spare time she enjoys traveling the world in search of adventure, gardening, and cooking. She believes in doing well so she can do good and commits volunteer time and money to organizations impacting education, world hunger, the environment, health issues, and wild life protection. She is a member of the Oakland Association of Realtors and the California Association of Realtors.
