"Pat was fantastic to work with and I couldn't recommend her more! As a first-time homebuyer, she was there for me every step of the way. She not only found the apartment, but she helped guide me through the board application and interview while always remaining patient, thorough and fair. Before meeting her, I had gone to many open houses, and while a lot of agents I met were nice, none of them offered the same level of interest - they seemed more interested in selling the property then finding me the right home. Pat really took her time working with me, and at the end of the process, I bought a beautiful home at a fair price! Thanks again for everything, Pat!"

"Pat is amazing and such a pleasure to work with! She is incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, responsive, and professional and will treat your home sale or purchase as if it were her own. I was a first-time buyer looking in Forest Hills and Pat went above and beyond countless times to help me find the perfect apartment and navigated me through every step of the process, no matter how small. I met Pat at one of her open house listings and knew I wanted to work with her right away. She knows the ins and outs of all the buildings, apartment layouts and boards in the Forest Hills area. Over the next few months, she recommended good buildings and listings and accompanied me to over 30 appointments to help me narrow down what my real priorities were. She advised me on four different offers until the final one was accepted and found me a great real estate attorney; but most importantly, Pat never rushed me and actually encouraged me not to settle or overspend for an apartment I didn’t love! It was so important to have a buyer’s agent like Pat who will advocate for you, address any questions or issues right away, and catch other people’s careless mistakes. She has high standards and a critical eye that will spot any potential problems with an apartment, but will also try to help you find workable solutions immediately. She will help you find the perfect home or a great buyer at a good price with her great experience and extensive network – I can’t recommend her highly enough!"

"Pat is the best of the best! She worked closely with us when we were looking to find a new home in Forest Hills. Our parameters were somewhat narrow, and my husband was picky, but Pat assured us she would find us the perfect place, and she totally came through! Pat is a hard worker, professional, and an absolute pleasure to do business with. We couldn't be happier in our home, and when it comes time to size up as our family grows, we'll reach out to her again without hesitation. Highly recommended!"

“I especially enjoy sharing in the journey of first-time home buyers, who often require a great deal of personal attention, patience and guidance. They rely on my understanding of the entire process, and my ability to communicate to them the various components of the transaction . . .sometimes more than once!”
When her busy schedule permits, you will find Pat enjoying her other passions, which include playing tennis, international and domestic travel, horticulture and relaxing on the beach!
