"Patti did an amazing job with the sale of our apartment in Cambridge! She took care of all the steps, from the open house to the closing, keeping us abreast of all the developments and making the entire process effortless for us. She was super friendly and organized, and always available to answer our questions. With her help, we sold our place for 10% more than we asked. We strongly recommend her!" - Daryl, 2025
★★★★★
"Patti is a tireless buyer's agent. She carefully establishes the needs of the buyer, applies her extensive local knowledge to match potential properties. She goes over and above in the search, and is able to talk to anyone to get information that will help with her buyer's decision. Her persistence pays off during the offer and negotiation process and she stays on top of things through closing, down to the finest detail. I recommend her with no reservations and hope, down the road, to purchase an additional property through her." - Kimberly, 2024
