Paige Galla is our esteemed past office manager who will forever remain a part of our team no matter where she works or lives. Paige set the standard for world class customer service at Cedar Creek Realty from 2006 until 2011.

In 2010 Paige took a short sabbatical to travel to London, England. Doug and Carrie Shinn encouraged her to connect with family friend Sebastian Sieh while she was there. Sebastian, from Munich, Germany, lived with the Shinn family for his freshman year of high school in 1998 and had begun working in London just prior to Paige’s sabbatical. Sebastian’s mother Regina was an exchange student who had lived with Carrie’s family (Zimmerman) in high school in 1972 and the transatlantic families have been closely tied together since. Little did we know that this simple introduction would take the turn it did.

Paige and Sebastian first met at a tube station in London and it was, cue the harps, love at first sight. Every moment was time together from that point on. Once Paige’s visitor’s visa expired she returned to her CCR desk with exciting stories to share. We knew then that her days in Arnold were numbered.

Ultimately another trek to London resulted in the couple eloping to Gibraltar (the Las Vegas of Europe) and getting married on 6/30/11. Paige, a wedding planner extraordinaire, proceeded to plan their wedding with bride and groom, two witnesses, photographer and the minister in one week’s time!! She then returned to us just long enough to visit friends and family and gain a spousal visa and now permanently resides in London with her new husband. Sebastian is a manager for the luxury 5 Star Mandarin Oriental Hotel at Hyde Park. Paige, in true type A overachiever fashion, has several challenging positions and irons in the fire, and if you know Paige as we do, success is always the constant.

If you found this story confusing, hard to follow or believe, we truly understand. However we do guarantee that every word is true. If you are a screen writer looking for a new film project please contact us for the detailed story. Naturally we all miss Paige and Sebastian but we relish each communication as their storybook life unfolds one day at a time. Congratulations and best wishes forever to Sebastian and Paige Sieh (pronounced “Zee”).
