Why Choose Patrick for your Next Real Estate Transaction

Experience Matters in Real Estate

Selling and buying Real Estate will be some of the biggest financial transactions of your life. Whether buying or selling a family home or an investment property, you should be represented by a Broker / Agent who;

1. Has worked through at least 1 Full Real Estate Cycle (Selling Real Estate since 2007 is a good bar for Sales Experience). Has sold at least 100 properties.  We started selling Real Estate in 1990 and have hundreds of transactions of experience selling single family homes, condos and multi-family properties.  Not to mention have secured over 100 leases and have a property management group as well.
2. Work with an agent wh has sold, managed or rehabbed multiple types of properties.  Understanding what it costs to get a property into Prime Sales Condition requires previous experience.  Knowing an agent has gone through the process of increasing value on the sale of a property is tanamount to being a reliable broker.  Patrick and his team have helped with property rehabs and resales as well.  Furthermore we offer staging advice should a property need a 'New' look to help maximize the Sale Price.
3. Evaluation skills.  Understanding true and future values for homes in every market.  Questions that we will answer for you;
   - What is your home worth? 
   - What will it be worth in the upcoming months?
   - What will it cost to maximize the current sales price?
   - What trends are in play that you can utilize to maximize sales price?
4. Transaction Management - Your agent should have experience with understanding how to choose the right offer once you have listed your property and understand how to create a streamlined escrow.  
   - Some buyers are easier to work with.
   - Some agents are easier to work with.
   We will help you identify how to get into escrow with the right offer to help you to move forward.

Interview Questions for the Agent you will be choosing.

Sample questions to a Broker, like myself, who will be your Listing Agent.

6. Have they been in business during a down cycle?
