"Excellent and extremely professional"-Pamela R.

"Patti was an absolute pleasure to work with in every regard. She listened to our hopes and desires, and paid attention to every detail. Patti's guidance throughout the process led to our home being listed quickly, and her hard work and diligence resulted in us receiving an offer above our list price. She is unwavering in her commitment to her clients and conducts herself professionally and ethically at every turn. I cannot recommend her highly enough!"-Ricky C.

"In short, she was great. I've recommended her to those looking in the area and I will continue to do so. She was patient, learned what we wanted, and had our best interest in mind. She worked very hard for us to find our dream home."-John S.

"Through multiple seven digit transactions over several years, Patti has been an incredible partner. And on the one occasion when I thought I could execute a transaction on a direct buy/sell transaction without her, I came to regret the decision. Work with Patti and don’t look back."-Teri and Tony L.

"We could not have asked for a more positive experience in finding our new home. Patti’s knowledge, patience and attention to detail were second to none in representing us. Her deep knowledge of the North Shore led us to our perfect home, one we could not have found without her. Patti made the home buying process what it should be; enjoyable and relaxed. We would highly recommend Patti for any real estate need!"-Sarah and Colin R

"Patti went above and beyond for us throughout the home buying and selling process. She worked tirelessly to sell our home in record time and was quick to act on the purchase of our new home. With Patti’s expertise, knowledge, commitment and guidance, our transactions were smooth and flawless at a time when the market was uncertain. Not only was Patti extremely professional and passionate about her work, but she was also very friendly and personable in our countless interactions. Patti is an outstanding realtor and I am honored to also call her my friend now!"-Susie and Rob B.

"Patti Skirving was instrumental in moving us from the city to the suburbs and again when we moved to our recent home. Moving up from the city was a challenge as neither of us grew up in Chicago. She was extremely knowledgeable about the various suburbs and truly figured out what we needed and wanted. When we needed more room, Patti was patient and successful in selling our home in a difficult market and finding us a beautiful home with everything we needed. She was upbeat and a fabulous negotiator. She kept us calm and informed throughout the process even when things became challenging. I knew we were in excellent hands! She is really more of a realtor, she is a family friend. My kids still wave to her house as we drive by. I miss working with her but she is so successful at what she does I won’t need a realtor for a very long time. She found us the perfect home!" -Molly and Jerry H.

"To our family, Patti Skirving is the North Shore preeminent Realtor! Patti’s professionalism, extraordinary market insight and ardent commitment to our needs ensured we found our perfect home and enjoyed the process! I met Patti for the first time the day we closed on our Winnetka home, but felt like I had known her for years. Four months earlier while our family was living overseas and anticipating a move to the Chicagoland area, a family friend suggested I contact Patti. After our first phone call, I had no doubt she would be the Realtor to help us find our perfect home. She succeeded in every way, thoroughly and effectively guiding us along every step of the home buying process. Patti was patient and flexible as we dealt with a fluid relocation timeline and a 14-hour time difference resulting in many early morning and late night conversations! She helped us learn the personalities of the various communities and neighborhoods while we grappled with choosing a home from 800 miles away. With her finger on the pulse of the Market, we had previews of listings before houses hit the market and a good understanding of which properties would go under contract quickly. When my husband made a last minute decision and flew in, Patti dropped everything to give us both herv full attention. With the decision to make an offer, Patti virtually worked around the clock to avoid a last minute bidding war and secure the deal on our first-choice home. When my husband boarded the plane 4 days later, it was with peace of mind and a signed contract! People are amazed when I tell them I had only seen our home online before closing; they wonder how I could have trusted my husband to make such an important decision. The answer is easy… I trusted my husband AND I trusted my Realtor Patti Skirving! I highly recommend Patti and trust her next clients will have the same remarkable experience our family did in finding their perfect home! " -Leigh and Pete S.

"We had a wonderful experience using Patti as our Realtor both to sell a home and to buy our home. We couldn’t say enough about how fantastic she is! She is knowledgeable about the North Shore area, the houses and the builders and she made sure that any questions we had were answered. She patiently and skillfully guided us through the entire princess and allowed us to have a worry-free, comfortable and fun experience. When you work with Patti, you have an advocate you can put your complete trust in! We would and do recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the area! " -Ceylan and Peter E.

"We could not have sold our home as quickly and smoothly without Patti and Greg Skirving. From the minute they came to our home, we knew they represented the strongest real estate team on the North Shore. They were instrumental in staging our home for the market and pricing it correctly. I knew they “showed it well” because a friend of our daughter’s went through our home with her agent and reported back that the showing was handled professionally and with incredible enthusiasm! She actually said, “if she and her husband could have afforded it, they would have bought it on the spot!" (She also commented that she was going to change realtors.) We were extremely happy with Patti and Greg’s negotiating skills. They were calm and positive throughout the process, yet succeeded in getting us not only the price we had hoped for, but also the terms. We were also impressed with their communication skills. Patti returned every phone call within 3 minutes! My husband and I would and will highly recommend The Skirving Team to anyone looking for a successful, caring and ethical real estate agent! " -Eileen and Chris F.
