Buying a home with Patrick Raymond was an absolute delight, I highly recommend Patrick for any of your real estate endeavors. I met Patrick simply by calling a number on a random real estate web page showing a property I was interested in purchasing. From that conversation on he successfully guided me, over the following four weeks, and now I type this review from the office in my new home. Patrick's experience shows clearly; he was able to prepare me for every step with realistic expectations and helped set achievable timelines. He remained continuously engaged with me, the seller's agent, the lender, the property management, the title company, and other parties like the home inspector. Patrick navigated through the sometimes rough waters and was able to help me overcome hurdles and obstacles that came up, especially in dealings with the lender. Due to Patrick's many years of experience, I knew exactly what was going on at each step of the way. Throughout the entire process Patrick maintained a steadfast, professional and always helpfully optimistic attitude. I wholeheartedly recommend Patrick Raymond; with him you can rest assured that your home purchase or sale is in the best of hands.

I am a real estate attorney as well as a real estate broker. I hired Patrick since I live 230 miles away in south Orange County. I hired Patrick on three separate occasions to sell property. Each time he did a great job and was very responsive when offers came in. I relied upon him for local conditions and for his good advice.

I started working with Patrick several months before I found the condo that I wanted. He helped me through the negotiation process and when my bid was accepted, he told me step-by-step what was going to happen next. He was so good to keep me informed when documents were coming that needed to be signed and he was always available for my questions. I would highly recommend Patrick for your real estate needs

Patrick was fantastic in the sale of our house. He was able to get us the best price possible and always kept us informed of any action or changes. He has a wonderful personality and is very knowledgeable of everything going on in the real estate business. He is very professional. I would never use anyone else to sell my house.

Patrick listed and sold two properties for me this year, and I intend to use him on a third transaction. Patrick is responsive and knows the local area. I am a broker myself, but located in southern California. Patrick is the broker that everyone hopes to hire!

Patrick is a perfect choice to handle the purchase of a new home or sale of an old home. We’ve had him handle both aspects for us recently. He appears to be personally invested in the process and is immediately responsive to your questions and concerns. He explains every step of the process thoroughly and understandably. We are 100% pleased in our dealings with him.

Selling a home after 18 years is difficult emotionally and physically—AND the laws have changed significantly! To pursue this path you need the steadfastness, knowledge, skill and professionalism of a highly reliable agent. Patrick and Ruby Raymond are honest, direct, hard-working, and generous and we highly recommend them!

Not only was he knowledable, he went the extra mile to research and visit properties himself before deciding to show them to us. In addition He and Ruby both made the experience very relaxing for us which reduced our stress levels and allowed us to make educated decisions about the properties we were shown. I was very impressed with the fact that Patrick also let us know when he did not feel that a property was not a good fit for us rather than try to push us into an offer on the property. Because of that we now own a property that we will always cherish

I'm not easy to impress. Frankly, most businesses and service providers disappoint me in one way or another. In my career, I have to be brutally nit-picky and frankly, most folks don't measure up. I have to say I was impressed in every way with the Raymond's. Our house search took over 6 months from the time we expressed interest to the time we found "The One". We looked at dozens of houses over that time and they were always helpful and flexible with showings and market comparisons. They are very in-touch with the market and financing requirements and answered my constant (really: several times a day) stream of emails with questions. They use the latest search tools so we found out about new houses on the market almost instantly. They worked very well with our crazy schedules. We were able to handle most tasks via email and scanner, which saved a lot of hassle for us and made the process more efficient. As a team, Ruby and Patrick work well to cover the bases and it seems like one of them is always available to answer your questions immediately. When we found our new home, they were able to respond quickly to get our offer in fast. They handled extensive negotiations with the seller's agent and freed us from that emotional drain on our time. In the end, we bought a wonderful house that fits our needs and the transaction went smoothly. Honestly, I expected to be disappointed at some point. It always seems to happen. But, in this case, it never did. They just kept doing everything right, every time and with a smile! I can recommend Ruby and Patrick without reservation.
