“From the initial meeting with Patti Smylie, my wife and I knew we were in great hands to handle our first home sale. She gave us invaluable information on how to prepare the property exterior, even arranging for her contacts in the landscaping business to help upgrade the curb appeal of the property beyond our best expectations. As to the interior presentation of the house, she suggested some changes that initially we were not in agreement. After doing a single rearrangement of the front room, it transformed it into a bright, open area, appealing to many buyers. Her knowledge of the area and market, allowed us to quickly close a sale well above our asking price. At all stages of the adventure, her help and suggestions allowed us to complete the sale and leave house with a new, young family with children, to revitalize the neighborhood after my retirement from 45 years at LLNL. Patti became more than our realtor, she allowed us to move out of state and even found us a Realtor in Upstate New York with her same skill, honesty and work ethic. With the help, knowledge, ingenuity and friendship we received from Patti Smylie, I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her to help you the sale or purchase of a home anywhere in the bay area. Her contacts and knowledge of the markets in the Tri-Valley and East Bay will serve you well, no matter what side of the housing market you are entering.”
