Starting a career in the fast-paced world of hammer trading at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, Paula Avenaim gained skills in client service, precision and high-stakes decision making. “I have a deep passion for helping people navigate the complexities of buying and selling properties,” she says. “As one of the leading closers in the business, I collaborate extensively with attorneys, lenders and peers to deliver smooth, informed closings.”
A broker and real estate expert with Coldwell Banker Realty, Avenaim represents luxury clients throughout Delray Beach and surrounding areas, including Boca Raton, Boynton Beach, Lake Worth Beach, Wellington, Palm Beach Gardens, Deerfield Beach, Pompano Beach and Highland Beach. She’s also a licensed global advisor with Baird & Warner, specializing in residential and commercial real estate in Chicago. “My firsthand knowledge of local communities, paired with my national and global insight, makes me a powerful advocate for clients across a range of property types and geographies,” she says.
With over two decades of experience as an escrow and closing officer, Avenaim serves on the board of directors for the Women’s Council of Realtors North Shore and the Northern Illinois Commercial Association of REALTORS®. She is a committee chair for Pacific Alliance Group and participates in policy and government affairs through the government policies and issues committee and the Realtors political action committee. A past board member of the North Shore-Barrington Association of REALTORS®, she remains involved with the National Notary Association and the National Association of REALTORS®.
“My first love is time with my three sons,” Avenaim shares. “Family is everything to me.” This co-host of the radio talk show “Real Estate Revealed” on WJOL-AM 1340 also enjoys golfing, bike riding and traveling.
