I had decided to sell my home on my own but when I listed I was not getting a lot of foot traffic, however I was receiving a lot of phone calls from a variety of realtors (annoying and rude) asking me to list with them and other annoying phone calls like “Buy your home for cash”. I was getting pretty agitated with those phone calls except from Patrick McCarthy, who called saying that he had potential buyers that would like to come and see my home. The way he spoke to me was a breath of fresh air (articulate, respectful, knowledgeable) then what I had been receiving. He was professional, straight up, and very enjoyable to speak with. A couple of days passed, and I had been contemplating getting a realtor since I was not having any luck and the first person I thought of was Patrick and our phone conversation, so I called him up and asked him to represent me. Patrick came by my home to provide recommendations and to provide insight into his strategic marketing plans, which all ended up being spot on. After a few minor recommendations per his request, my property was ready to list again, under his name. He started advertising on Friday, I had a full day of traffic both on that following Saturday and Sunday, on Tuesday I had 2 offers! The process throughout; Inspection, repairs, finding trusted contractors and electricians for those repairs, went very smoothly with no issues. All this due to the people that he provided, all of them were fair and honest, just like Patrick. During my time with him, he was my champion and had my best interest throughout. We closed 38 days after the offer was accepted! When I sell the current home that I am living in, I will definitely have Patrick as my realtor and I will be sending my friends his name and contact information to buy or sell! In my book, he is the best realtor to have period! If I could give him a 10 across the board, especially Negotiation skills, I would.
