REVIEWS

Cameron M.
Patty was amazing. She really went above and beyond for us and was always there whenever we had questions or wanted to see a place. She was super patient and I never felt rushed at any point in the process. What I appreciated most was that she gave her honest opinion instead of trying to push us into buying something just to make a sale. I always felt like she genuinely had our best interests in mind. I truly appreciated working with her and I’ll definitely be recommending her to my friends! "

We worked with Patty as first-time home buyers and she was the best! She was incredibly patient with us and took the time to explain every step of the home buying process, which made us feel confident throughout the whole experience. Patty knows the area very well and connected us with great contacts, including our lender, which was a huge help. She’s professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely wonderful to work with.

Working with Patty has been an exceptional experience! As a first-time home buyer, I had literally 0 knowledge about the market, the home buying process, negotiation strategies, etc... Patty truly guided me through this journey, making it as smooth and seamless as possible, and I am now a homeowner with 0 regrets or worries.
