Coldwell Banker Sea Coast Advantage has welcomed Paula Vargas to its team, according to a news release.

Vargas, a real estate agent, is bilingual, speaking English and Spanish. Originally from Colombia, she has lived in the Wilmington area for about 14 years.

"Because of her personal heritage, Vargas has a special passion to guide the Hispanic community with their home buying or selling needs as one of the few Spanish speaking real estate professionals in the greater Wilmington," officials said in the release. 

Vargas has added educational content to her official website, including a Spanish translation feature, officials said.

“I’m so excited to offer real estate guidance in the Wilmington area,” Vargas said in the release, “especially to the Hispanic community where real estate resources are scarce.”
