Patrick Carey

Patrick was amazing and frankly instrumental in my wife and I being able to find our Home. I have nothing but praise for him given it was a long and arduous process finding the right home in this tumultuous market. He is knowledgeable of the market as well as has a keen eye on potential of a home and was very helpful in seeing the picture in terms of long run. Ultimately he was able to meet with me over a 6 month period almost every single weekend, sometimes Sat, and Sun until we closed on our home. He is more than just a realtor, he is a friend!

Our sale closed three weeks before our purchase and we panicked. Patrick negotiated a post-closing use and occupancy so we stayed in our own house at $150 a day instead of moving twice or getting a storage unit and an Airbnb. He’d flagged this as a possibility a month earlier and had already asked the buyers whether they’d be open to it, so when it happened it was a phone call, not a crisis. Could not imagine having a better agent- thanks Patrick!

I feel so incredibly lucky to have worked with Patrick. We lost four houses before we got one. What I appreciated is that after the second one Patrick sat us down and said our nerves were preventing us from putting the right offers together, not bidding too low. He talked us though every potential item that could occur on inspection himself, has us understand what a worst case scenario would mean, and when we were still comfortable moving forward, smartly advised us to drop the inspection contingency down to a walkthrough-for-information and put in an escalation clause, and he called both listing agents ahead of time to find out what the sellers actually cared about. On the house in Weymouth the sellers needed to stay through the end of the school year, and we were the only offer that gave them a free 60-day use and occupancy. We were not the highest offer. We got the house.

When it comes to real estate agents Patrick is one of a kind. He talked us out of a house. We were exhausted and ready to take anything, and the Braintree place looked fine to us. He pointed out the grade was pitched toward the foundation and there was a fresh coat of paint on the basement wall where the previous owner had clearly been dealing with water. The inspector confirmed it and we walked. Six weeks later we got a better house for $15K less. I’m still not sure another agent would have said anything...

I wanted a three-family and Patrick showed me eleven of them over four months. He ran real numbers on every one — actual taxes, actual water and sewer, a realistic vacancy factor, not the seller’s pro forma. On two of them he told me flat out the rents were below market for a reason and I’d never get them up because of the tenancy situation. The one we bought in Quincy is cash-flowing $900 a month over my mortgage, which is exactly what he projected within about $40.
