Patrick Burns

A native of Brooklyn Heights, schooled at Saint Ann’s and raised in a townhouse, Patrick has intimate knowledge of and about the city, but specifically “The Heights” and the surrounding neighborhoods.

Before real estate, he worked for many years as a successful commercial film editor and director running his own business, making him no stranger to high-pressure situations involving big budgets, tight deadlines, larger-than-life personalities and the need for results.

Patrick has successfully applied his experience running his own business and working with big brands like Budweiser, Google, Coke, Apple, Netflix and BMW to his work in real estate. He spent a number of years at Corcoran in Brooklyn Heights, until he was recruited by the still relatively new Compass to help grow his business and better serve his clients' needs.

After a 5 year hiatus working as an alpine race coach, working with his son and many elite athletes destined for the NCAA and national teams, he has returned to Compass. Patrick is excited to be the newest member of The Zolan Rossiter Team, a highly successful small team with over $560M in career sales.

With a background in such varied and challenging careers, Patrick has developed and refined skills that translate directly to success in real estate - creative expression, problem solving, discipline, drive and a dedication to outstanding client service. These traits have served him well in his career and helped him develop his philosophy which is to get his clients the best price, in the shortest amount of time with the fewest problems.

A resident of Boerum Hill, Patrick lives with his wife and their two children. When not working, you can find him on his bike riding, skiing too fast, spending time with family and friends, taking photos, playing squash, enjoying the city and the Berkshires.
