Hi we have been working with Patrick for a few months for the sale and purchase of a new home. The process was a little lengthy because the sellers were not sure whether to take our deal as the sale of our house was contingent on the purchase of our new home. Patrick somehow was able to make these deals happen even though we hit many snags along the way. He was always reachable by text or phone daily to reassure me that he was handling the situation. He worked closely with my lawyer and the listing agent. At times I didnt think the deal would happen but it was definitely through some of Patricks quick thinking and solutions that helped us. He is definitely knowledgeable about the areas we were looking in which were Bergen and Passaic county. I am thankful for Patrick as We sit here in our new beautiful home. I would highly recommend him he is a very hardworking Real Estate Agent.

We worked with Gene during this impossible market to find the perfect house for us. He was very knowledgeable and really listened to what we were looking for in our first home. Very professional, go getter work ethic and easy to communicate with. I would highly recommend Gene to any family or friends looking for a pleasant home buying experience.
