Kevin Hurley
Lake Villa, IL - Dec 2, 2019

Pat's personal touch and honesty was CRITICAL in getting this deal done. We really appreciated not just her knowledge of the area but how it applied to our particular situation (which was unusual). She also provided several helpful little nudges to remind me to follow up on certain things, which I greatly appreciated. I would absolutely retain Pat again, and I would certainly recommend her to others.

Pat was very professional and knowledgeable and gave valuable assistance throughout my purchase. I would not hesitate recommending her to anyone wishing to buy or sell a property around the Chain o' Lakes area. Excellent.

I wish there was a level above excellent that we could rate her. She was SO responsive, PATIENT, consultative, assertive and insanely helpful. We will recommend her to everyone and anyone we know. This is the third realtor we've worked with and she is above and beyond our favorite.

Overall we are incredibly satisfied with the entire process having Pat as our broker. Moving is so stressful and I believe she played a HUGE part in making this process seamless for us. We love you, Pat!! :)

The purchase went incredibly smooth. We leaned on Pat's expertise on the area, process, market, etc. and she went above and beyond to make the process smooth for us.

I had met a broker while doing other business and considered her but she was a half hour away and not all that familiar with waterfront properties. I called Kay Starostovic (sp) , the township supervisor, as my cousin is a great friend of hers, she referred me to Pat and spoke very highly of her. I was impressed with Pat's knowledge of waterfront properties and her longevity in Fox Lake. Pat is very professional and answered all my questions quickly.
