From the start, Patrick provided us with clear expectations as to what we should expect when buying a home in Northwest Washington. He was very patient throughout the search process and always provided us with a wealth of information on each property prior to visiting. This allowed us to consistently make educated decisions throughout the search that ultimately lead to us finding our dream home. Before starting this whole process, my husband and I did heavy research. If you were to ask me now if any of that helped, I’d say sure, but the most consistently educational and helpful resource we had access to was Patrick. Buying a home isn’t a walk in the park, but Patrick does a very good job of staying focused on your goals, and building you back up when things don’t go your way. If you’ve been searching for a home this past year, you don’t need me to tell you how crazy the Washington housing market is. Patrick is very well informed and very capable at moving quickly when necessary and pumping the breaks when we (very eager home buyers) are moving a little too fast for our own good and compromising unnecessarily. Patrick did everything in his power to protect us and coach us through the emotional roller coaster that is a first-time home purchase . He was also very receptive to our feedback and collaborated with us throughout the process. It was very evident to us early on how much Patrick valued our time. When we made offers, Patrick provided excellent coaching and made sure we were making the most competitive offer possible without pushing our budget past our comfort zone (something that can happen easily in this market). I can say confidently that Patrick’s competitive buying strategy was the key that allowed us to land the perfect home for us in our dream community. Looking back, we can’t begin to imagine how we would have navigated this journey without Patrick. He was infinitely more helpful than any books, podcasts, blogs we read/listed to. His advice was specific to us, our needs, and the unique situations we faced throughout the process. He understands how emotionally draining the home buying ride can be, and did everything in his power to spare our emotions when having tough conversations. He understands the multi-faceted realm of real estate and gave data-driven advice so we were able to make decisions that were in our best interest. Above all, Patrick genuinely cares for his clients and will do everything in his power to make sure you find your perfect home. What more can you ask for?
