I was contacted ever time there was a showing. Always found out the comments made. Phone contact was easy.

Best experience ever especially since I was not present in the State for the process. Very military friendly and I would highly recommend to anyone. Will definitely use when I sell this house.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars.

It was important to me that Pat's personality worked with mine. I wanted to make sure that she was smart and savvy about home selling, and used the latest technology. She was the best in terms of marketing materials (the home photos were astonishing), and the drone images reallly helped show the unique nature of the house. The write up was perfect, and she had showings from day one of taking over the listing.

Pat is the best. She's efficient, prompt and realistic.

I highly recommend her and would definitely use her services again.

It took a long time for my husband and I to find the house that we were excited about but Pat Smarto was very patient with us. She was always there to show us the properties we wanted to see. She was always available to answer any questions we might have on any of the listings. When we finally selected the house we purchased, Pat assisted us through the process of negotiating the contract, inspections, and finally the closing.
