Pat truly believes that your home is where you plant your roots to create memories that last a lifetime. Assisting sellers allows Pat to help move them to the next phase of their life.

Pat gave us a quick sale with maximum proceeds. What else could you ask for in a Broker? We appreciated her direct communication, efficiency in getting the house listed and marketed, and her hustle following up with all leads to spark interest. The fact that we sold our house in less than 2 months, the WORST TWO MONTHS of Illinois weather mind you, is a true testament of her skill and tenacity.

PatSmarto was very knowledgeable about the area. She was always accessible and answered any questions we had. Pat stayed on top of things regarding the purchase from beginning to end. We would recommend Pat to anyone looking in the area.

I own a real estate development company conducting business in several midwestern states. I have interacted with many realtors over the past 28 years. Pat is simply the best. She is a true professional .
