About
Meet Patty
In NYC I was a corporate benefit consultant, but knew that I wanted to try something different that would provide me more flexibility and allow me to be my own boss. My 20 years in residential sales have taught me a lot about the area and industry and I love helping my buyers and sellers with their Real Estate needs.
In this challenging housing market, it is of the utmost importance that I can partner with, and become an advocate for, my clients so I can navigate them through the process as smoothly as possible. I succeed when my clients’ goals are reached, whether it is to buy or sell a property as quickly as possible or for the best price.
When not working with clients I love volunteering in my community, traveling with family, and spending time with friends. Life is good.

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.
