About Patrick
With a rigorous fifteen years in corporate, seven years in hospitality, seven years in real estate development and sales, and several degrees, I bring a high level of analytical and customer focus to my clients. My ultimate goal is to provide clients with peace of mind while delivering creative solutions to meet their specific goals. Even in this highly chaotic Bay Area real estate market, let me buffer the chaos and provide calmer waters while buying and selling your next home. I grew up in Southern California and was educated in Arizona at a top ten business school where I earned multiple bachelor's degrees in Finance and Supply Chain Management and graduation with honors. The call of the sea was strong for me, so I moved back to California to live in the city by the Bay. I spent seven years running a two-billion-dollar product line for Intel Corporation’s mobile processing group. After an amazing tenure with multiple awards for saving Intel Corporation over one billion dollars in product obsolescence, I went on to run marketing at a software company. While running marketing for eight years, I also completed the Hass School of Business executive MBA program with a focus on pricing and auction theory, which I still use daily in real estate. In a story as old as Apple, I hit a tech wall and yearned for something more, something customer-facing and service-oriented. Naturally, I launch a winery, event space, and restaurant. I loved the customer service aspect of the hospitality industry. My world travels in my corporate years exposed me to some of the best services in all “corners of the world.” Anticipating clients' needs and creating an unforgettable experience was somewhere in my DNA, and it flourished. But being a polymath with a curiosity for new adventures, I started developing properties with the founders of my winery. The desire for warmer SoCal days, Bay Area vistas, and Arizona sunsets drew me to the Sequoyah Hills of Oakland, CA where I built my Shangrila and used it as a home base for my developments in the East Bay. It was developing my community, “The Tems”, in the Temescal neighborhood of Oakland, where I got bit by the real estate bug. The culmination of my extensive education, divergent career paths, passion for design, first-hand knowledge of home development, and zeal for hospitality come together in a nexus of Realtor® glory…

An EXCEPTIONAL seller's agent!

An EXCEPTIONAL seller's agent!

Jill Carrigan is simply fantastic. She brings together two crucial qualities that rarely exist at this level in the same person: an exceptional design sensibility and a remarkably savvy approach to pricing and marketing. Thanks to Jill's excellent eye for decor, color, architecture, and garden design, and she knew exactly how to bring out our property's best qualities in the most cost-effective ways. She understands that great presentation isn't simply about making a property look beautiful—it’s about creating a feeling and helping buyers immediately see the possibilities. We loved our house before, but after Jill's thoughtful and lovely upgrades, it absolutely shone. Just as impressive is Jill's strategic intelligence. Her pricing recommendations were smart and extremely well calibrated, and her marketing strategy was sophisticated, creative, and relentlessly focused on generating the right kind of attention. She understands the psychology of buyers and knows how to position a property so that it stands out in a crowded market. Jill is also a just pleasure to work with—warm, responsive, and genuinely invested in our home and our outcome. We could not have asked for a better advocate or a more talented person to represent our home! We feel extremely fortunate to have had Jill in our corner and recommend her without hesitation.

Regina Jacobs is in a class of her own - AMAZING!

Regina Jacobs is in a class of her own - AMAZING!

When we started this process, we weren't just selling a house — we were letting go of a home my mom had owned for over 50 years. It needed real work to become what it could be, and honestly, we didn't know where to begin. Regina did. From our very first conversation, she walked us through what actually mattered: which updates would move the needle and which ones weren't worth our time or money. That kind of judgment only comes from real experience, and we trusted it completely. She brought in her own team of vendors, and their work was beautiful — the kind of craftsmanship that turned a dated, well-loved house into a stunning, contemporary home we were genuinely proud to show. Then came the pricing strategy, and this is where Regina truly separated herself. Her approach wasn't guesswork — it was strategic, confident, and it worked. We ended up with over 70 disclosure packages out and nine offers on the table. The results exceeded anything we expected going in. But what I'll remember most is that Regina didn't just manage a transaction — she guided us. From that first "maybe we should sell" conversation all the way through closing, she held our hands through every decision, every document, every question we didn't even know to ask. She made sure it was done right, not just done fast. If you want an agent who treats your home like it matters — because to her, it clearly does — Regina Jacobs is who you call. We couldn't recommend her more highly.

She did it again!🤗

She did it again!🤗

This was the 2nd home from my husband’s brother’s estate that Audrey has helped us with recently. This sale was different from the other in that it was a private sale between the estate and a friend of the deceased. Audrey was gentle and professionally persuasive in guiding both parties to close the deal, clearing any last minute hurdles like a pro. She anticipates issues before they arise and helps to assure that by close, all parties are satisfied. Thank you again, Audrey, we are in your debt and are so very grateful our paths crossed so many months ago.

Deeply Experienced Agent

This was our third transaction with Tami, having previously sold a house and bought the property we just sold here. Her knowledge of the local housing market and guidance around how to navigate it have been invaluable for us as both buyers and sellers. She understands the current trends, but also has a depth of historical knowledge that she draws on to strategize the timing and investment considerations that matter most. She truly looks out for her clients' best interests and will tell you hard truths to put you in the best position possible. We trust her completely and have been totally rewarded for that trust.

Amazing, dynamic superstar

Tami is exceptional. Not only is she a responsive, kind and engaged communicator who was always happy to pick up the phone to answer a question anytime we would call, she also knows everybody! She’s been doing this for 20 years, and every realtor we encountered had a good story to share about her. She connected us to the best inspectors, contractors, painters, stager, etc. to get our house sold extremely quickly (a week & a half!) for a price that far exceeded my expectation. Besides being a rockstar agent with incredible connections, savvy, and experience, Tami is just an amazing person. Grounded, kind, and with a great sense of humor, I feel happy to know her.

Lisa Chan Carnazzo is nothing but The Absolute Best Agent!

She is responsive, engaged and focused on selling your home. She is detail oriented and self motivated! She made an Excellent Partner in the sale of Our Home that did not sell for 90 Days under another brokerage firm and stale agent. Lisa came in, we made some needed and adjustments, and put the home right back onto the market just short of 30 days later, then within less than two weeks we had seven offers and sold our home 327Kk over asking! Her name is Lisa Chan...but my wife and I just call her...LISA CAN!!!
