My fiancée and I were looking to purchase our first home and had heard great things about Patrick from friends that had worked with him previously. Shortly after emailing Patrick, we set up a 30min phone conversation to go over our "wants" in a house. He was very professional but also laid back with the way he spoke to us. Since my fiancée and I are in our early 20s, it was comforting that Patrick spoke to and treated us like adults rather than assuming we were just young kids browsing houses. We told Patrick about what we did and did not want in a house and he even asked us questions that we hadn't even thought of (like finding a house that was not in a flood zone). He then sent us over an online client portal with all of our desired features and a narrowed down list of houses and such that fit the criteria. My fiancée and I looked through the houses that matched our needs and picked our favorites. Exactly 1 week later Patrick, my fiancée and I looked at a total of 10 different houses. He made us aware of what to look for in terms of positives and negatives and thinking long term. Patrick didn't just open the front door and say, "have a look around." No, he walked us through each room while giving us information about the surrounding communities, current owner, any issues reported, and so much more. It really made us feel comfortable knowing that he was as invested as we were. Once we had decided on the perfect house, Patrick immediately went to work on his side all the way until we officially closed. We could tell that Patrick was a very hands-on realtor and treated each of his clients as if they were his own kids. Patrick was in constant communication with us, the mortgage company, and anyone else that needed to be contacted during the whole process. Another driving force behind the process was Patrick's mortgage company referral which gave us the same treatment and care as Patrick himself. Currently, my fiancée and I are transitioning from apartment living to being homeowners and are even more excited than we were during our first phone call with Patrick. Whether you are looking to buy your first house or your 10th house, Patrick Bartlett will do everything in his power to make the process as smooth and efficient as possible. He is one of those types of people that I love working with, a professional.
