I appreciate the work Pat put in to sell our home in a very tough market. She kept us informed of her progress and made valuable suggestions to help sell the home.
Not once but twice! That is I worked with Pat Smarto on the purchase of a property and six years later the sale of that property. It was a positive experience in both cases. Pat's knowledge of the market, professionalism and gracious demeanor made it a whole lot more enjoyable to work through a process that isn't always the easiest! Thank you, Pat!
I feel very fortunate to have chosen Pat Smarto to promote, show and sell my Fox Lake home. Her knowledge is 5 star. Her honesty is 5 star. Her responsiveness is 5 star. Her negotiation skills are 5 star. She is one of the most professional women in any field I have ever known. I put my trust in her and it paid off. My sale was quick and without any headaches or anxiety.
