About us

Meet Patty

Born and raised in New York, my husband and I, with baby boy in tow, decided to move down in 2000 to give living in Florida a “try”. We fell in love with the area and sunshine and 20 plus years later, another child, and two homes, are so happy we took the chance.

Patty’s a great communicator and stuck with us through many twists and turns that made this one of the most challenging sales I’ve ever been through. Her persistence was the key to a successful closing.

Patty made selling my condo so easy. This was my first home I owned, and Patty guided me through the entire process with such kindness and knowledge. We had great success with my listing with viewing interest immediately and offers within a day. Patty always kept me up-to-date with the closing process with my buyer. I knew what to expect with each step, making closing day nothing but exciting and easy. Thank you SO much!

Patty provided great advice including 1) how to set the asking price based on her knowledge of the market and market conditions, 2) how to best prepare the property for sale, 3) how to describe the most attractive features of the property, 4) how to understand and complete the various paperwork/documents required and 5) how to respond to multiple offers and special conditions during the process. Her wisdom and experience guided us to success and allowed for a very easy and positive experience. Patty provided excellent service from start to finish and went above and beyond to accommodate additional needs since both the seller and the buyer were living out of town. This included 1) showing the home.....

Patty was awesome to work with. She was very responsive to our needs and does everything she can to find the perfect home for you. She kept us informed every step of the way during our home buying process. If there are things that need to be done before closing, Patty is on top of it. We appreciated her willingness to be available in person to show us homes that we wanted to view. She even checked on us after closing to see if we are still happy with the purchase and to see if there was anything else she could do for us. She is the best agent that we have dealt with and I would recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a new home.

Patricia guided us through the process from start to finish. Her knowledge of the market and confidence made for a stress free process. She communicated only when it was necessary or when we had questions. She kept us informed perfectly. The whole process from start to closing was perfect because of Patricia. Thanks Patty!

Patty was great to work with. She has a great reputation within the community so we knew we were in safe hands from the start! Our experience started off as casual conversations and she was always willing to share her thoughts on the market. Once we were ready to seriously start looking, Patty was quick to send us listings based on our parameters. She updated us when new listings would hit the market and was always quick to respond. The process of working with the selling side can be bumpy and Patty was always there to guide us with sound advice. We felt comfortable asking her any questions. As a whole, she represented us very well and we are delighted with our new purchase!

Tips for Buying a Home

Stick to your Budget

This can be difficult when you find the perfect home but it’s out of your budget. Remember, you will need to pay the mortgage every month for likely 30 years. That new home excitement will wear off in a few months but you will be locked into your mortgage.

Don’t give up!

Sometimes it can be discouraging if you can’t find the perfect home you’re looking for. When there are fewer homes for sale, it can also be challenging when homes are selling so quickly. It’s important to stick with your process and always keep an open line of communication with your realtor. If you are discouraged, let them know! They’ve been through the buying and selling process dozens of times.

Trust your realtor

Your realtor is the expert to the buying process. If they are making decisions that don’t make sense, don’t be afraid to speak up and ask questions. Your realtor should be approachable and happy to teach/coach you during the home buying process.

Tips for Selling a Home

Consult with your realtor about upgrades and repairs

Depending on the current home market, your home may sell for a premium without making any updates or repairs. Before you spend time and money on repairs, see if it’s worth it.

Leverage your social network to advertise your listing

After your home is listed, post the listing on your social media accounts or social media groups you are part of. For example, you may live in an HOA community and there is a Facebook Group for the HOA. Post your listing so your neighbors can see it’s for sale.

Get your home “listing ready”

When you prepare your home for viewing and photos, you want the buyer to picture themselves living in your home. If your home is vacant and empty, hiring a staging company to bring in furniture and decorations to make your home look cozy and livable. If you have a lot of pictures or personal trinkets, consider removing them so the buyer doesn’t feel like they are looking at or touring someone else’s home.

What VALUE does a realtor add?

You might be asking what your realtor does all day. They do a lot of work behind the scenes.

Writing and understanding the offer

Realtors take time to write and review the offer or selling contract. They review the fine print to make sure that are no surprises. An offer, when buying or selling your home, is more than just a price. An offer may include contingencies or additional amendments. Your realtor will understand these additional terms and know how to negotiate to get not only a price that’s in your best interest, but terms that are in your best interest or conditions, such as, Buyer has 7 days to complete inspections and appraisal.

Negotiation experience

Depending on the state of the housing market, your realtor will know when to ask for more or when to take or make an offer right away. Their experience will help to save you time and money during your buying or selling journey. Your agent will work with the other agent, representing the other party, and negotiate to find the medium ground.

Their local real estate network

Your real estate agent has agent resources such as the MLS that are not available to the public. In addition, they have a close network of fellow realtors and other industry professional like title companies, inspectors, lender, and insurance agents. Due to this large network, they have access to information that is not, or not yet, available to the public. For example, your realtor may hear of a home that’s about to go on the market that sounds like a great option for you to buy. Because of your realtor, you may get access to these listing before they even hit the market.

Your realtor is your teacher

Your real estate agent is not just your professional representative when buying and selling a home. They are also your teacher who is educating you each step of the way. Your realtor should be approachable and willing to explain major or minor details of the
real estate process. The buying and selling process can move quickly, especially your first time. That’s why your trusted realtor is there, to guide you each step of the way.
