Patti’s Profile
My successful real estate career didn’t happen overnight. It was the result having many occupations, all aimed at helping others. As a pre-teen I took my fist job outside the home, and I began volunteering for various non-profit organizations. After high school I attended college, while working full-time. Most of my education came from what I call “Life Lessons.”
In my mid-30’s I realized that I could fulfill my desire to help others get what they want by becoming a Realtor. The lessons I learned have taught me what it takes to give my customers the help they deserve and, as a result. I have become the Realtor they confidently refer to their friends, family members and co-workers.
For the past 20+ years I have enjoyed helping others by selling real estate. I have worked with small companies, large corporations, independents and franchises, all within the Broward county area. I have worked with EWM Realtors, Inc. for the past 10 years. Personally, my husband Bart and I have been married for over 32 years; we have three adult children and one grandchild. In my spare time I enjoy reading books and watching movies that promote positive thinking.
The following are what I consider to be my principal attributes:
Communication
Staying in touch with my customers throughout a listing or a sale is as important to me as it is to my customer. I will return all calls in a timely manner and update my customer during all phases of their sale or purchase.
Confidentiality
As a Transaction Broker I am bound by limited confidentially. My customer’s personal and financial history shall remain private, except as provided by the Sale Contract.
Creativity
Whether I’m holding a Broker’s Open or Blogging about a new listing ; I am always trying new ways to capture the attention of my customers.
Emotional Strength
Many times I am called upon to help customers who must buy or sell a home due to death, divorce, illness, loss of a job or a change in personal circumstances. Their decision to move is based on necessity, not choice. I respect their need for my additional time, understanding and emotional support throughout the process.
Financial Responsibility
My customers trust me with one of the largest financial decisions they will make in a lifetime. This is a responsibilty I take very seriously. Therefore, I associate with reputable business partners who assist me in giving my customers reliable advice and outstanding service.
Honesty
Buyers and Sellers want straightforward and verifiable information. I provide them with facts and market trends, so they can decide if it’s the right time to sell or buy a home.
My affilations include the Realtor Association of Miami Dade Board, the Florida Association of Realtors and the National Association of Realtors. As a member of these boards I am required to abide by a Code of Ethics. Not all real estate agents are board members and therefore are not obligated to the same standards.
Leadership
These skills were formulated at an early age when I became involved in student government. Upon moving to Davie, Florida I spearheaded the first successful bond issue for Parks and Recreation and assisted with the passing of the Open Space Bond issue to perserve land for the enjoyment of all residents. I have been a PTA President, a community activist and a lead fundraiser for a variety of charities.
Longevity
When I began selling real estate in 1988, interest rates were in the double digits and homes took an average of 9 months to sell; I thought that was normal!! My decision to become a Realtor wasn’t a get rich quick scheme; I chose this profession so that I could enjoy helping others get what they want. That is why I am still around after all these years and plan to be here for many more to come.
Productivity
I am a member of the EWM Chairman’s Club which requires annual sales in excess of $10 million. I am in the top 1% of Realtors nationwide and have consistently been the Top 5 EWM agents in Broward County for EWM Realtors, Inc.
