CHOOSE YOUR BROKER WISELY The Most Important Decision When Buying or Selling aHome When we decided to relocate to Westchester County, we thought it would be a challenging journey. We wanted a property that would maximize our investment yet meet our discerning prerequisites. Not an easy task.that is until we began working withPatti Howard. Patti proved the process otherwise, paving the way with warmth and intelligence, underscored with strong market knowledge. Our move toBedford was far from our first home purchase. We were seasoned buyers, having moved multiple times over the decades. The Bedford experience was unique. We wereunfamiliar with the lay of the land and had distinct requirements. We knew we needed a broker that could translate our criteria into a property with which we would fall in love. We also knew our real estate agent would be entrusted with a high fiduciary responsibility -- one of trust and confidence. It would be the most important duty of the transaction and Patti, with her legal background and market experience would shine in this arena. Patti's professionalism shortened our learning curve. She was accessible, patient and left no question unanswered, no road blocked. Her knowledge was formidable, her intuitive skills superior. Along the way, we were neverpressured to make a decision. Ensuring our comfort level was uncompromised;Patti let us move at our own pace. Then, with Patti's radar, we found the property we wanted. Here is where her expertise went into overdrive. Pattimade sure we knew everything there was to know about the home and the neighborhood. Her expertise not only helped us focus on understanding fair market value and determining the open offering price, her intuitive nature recognized the seller's agenda enabling our negotiation process to lead to an accepted offer and signed contract. Patti's job was still in play. She linked us with all the respected service providers, from home inspectors, to architects, electricians, contractors, etc. - many of whom have now further transformed our home, improving our investment value. Patti, we will forever be grateful for the magic you performed in settling us into the wonderful world of Bedford. Not only will we be lifelong references,we will remainclose friends. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you! Respectfully, Michael and Carol Allen

From the moment our first meeting was done with Patti we knew we had the right broker for the job. Patti was very professional, savvy, and thought of creative ways to market our home. Patti was always prompt in returning emails, texts or calls and made herself available whenever we needed. Our home sold for almost asking price in less then 30 days and Patti handled the entire transaction from start to finish. Our relationship with our buyer still is great in large part to Patti managing everyone’s expectations well from beginning to closing. We enjoyed working with Patti and would be happy to recommend her to anyone selling a house in northern westchester.
