Patrick MacCartee

If you're buying or selling in the East Bay, Patrick is the person to call. We worked with him to buy our home and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. He invested a lot of time upfront getting to know us, our priorities, and what we were looking for, and did a genuine deep dive on the neighborhoods, market dynamics, and the kinds of nuances that only someone with real local knowledge would think to bring up. It never felt transactional. He's also incredibly communicative throughout the whole process. We always knew where things stood, what was coming next, and what to expect. There was no chasing him down and no ambiguity. More than anything, we felt like he was consistently looking out for our best interests rather than just moving a deal forward. Patrick is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and a great person to have in your corner. We'd recommend him to anyone without hesitation.

Patrick helped us both with a purchase and a sale; throughout the two experiences he was calm, and ready to see both the humor and the difficulties in what we were about to do. He knows the Oakland-area market; he knows regulations; he knows the crafts- and trades-people who can make a house liveable and sellable. We plan to buy again soon, and will absolutely be working with him.

I can't recommend Patrick enough. His level of service was exceptional — he helped us figure out what we were actually looking for, dial in price, and land our dream home off market. He is very personable and made the whole process feel manageable. If you're looking for someone who will really show up for you, Patrick is your person.

We could not have asked for a better experience selling our home! We had a pretty aggressive schedule for getting our home on the market and, thanks to wonderful communication, Patrick made it happen. He was very collaborative in working through the process of preparing the home for market. He has an excellent network of contractors and tradespeople and coordinated work seamlessly to ensure meeting our listing schedule. When it came to pricing and marketing strategy Patrick was amazing! He recognized what was special about our home and made sure it was highlighted to other realtors and potential buyers. His expert understanding of local market valuations and conditions was the key to our receiving multiple, well-qualified offers while other homes that went up for sale at the same time ours sat on the market. His advice on evaluating offers and his skillful negotiation resulted in us accepting an offer well above what we had initially thought our home would sell for. If you can't tell from the review - we enthusiastically recommend Patrick!
