Patrice Horvath

“I am writing to tell you about our truly wonderful experience in working with Patrice – as we found her to be a lovely person to work with and an exceptional agent. As both buyers and sellers of a home, Patrice exceeded all of our needs and expectations of the process. Not only was Patrice successful in negotiating a difficult offer, she managed to make a complex transaction function smoothly. She worked diligently to ensure that every small detail was taken care of and that we were more than satisfied with the entire process.

Patrice is a true professional, and she will of course, get our highest recommendation to all of our friends and neighbors.”

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Patrice Horvath who represented me in multiple real estate transactions when, as Trustee of my mother’s estate, one of my obligations was to liquidate several properties.

I was immediately impressed at our first meeting, as Patrice was well prepared with a presentation that speaks to her extensive experience in real estate sales, her thorough knowledge of the local area market, her marketing plan, and the steps she undertakes to ensure that the transaction is completed without any issues.

In addition, Patrice has an extensive network of service providers to help quickly get the property in top shape prior to going on the market. Here again, Patrice’s depth of knowledge of the local area and real estate market conditions were instrumental for a rapid sale and in driving multiple offers.

Patrice has a very easy way with people, is an absolute professional, and is a joy to work with. Despite the sudden loss of a loved one and the responsibilities I was then faced with, the process was made much easier with guidance from Patrice.

I cannot speak highly enough of Patrice and would be most pleased to provide a personal reference as well.”

“Thank you for your objectivity and great counseling and support throughout our buying experience. We are lucky we got to know you and work with you. I specifically want to thank you for coaching us through the bidding and negotiation process which would have been a maze if it weren’t for you.

When we moved to California, we tried to work with other real estate agents with whom our experience was less than optimal. Thank you for being candid and for your honesty (even when it meant that the transaction will not happen).

Your guidance post the sale and counseling throughout our significant remodeling efforts and ensuring that our house remains very desirable to future buyers has been a valuable experience for us. You know how to keep a client forever but in our case you have gained true friends and loyal customers.”

“I have had the pleasure of working with Patrice on three separate real estate transactions. She has represented me as both a buyer and a seller. In all of the transactions, her professionalism and commitment to customer service, coordination and communication in all phases of the process was exceptional. She made sure the process was smooth and seamless for us. She is a true professional and wonderful to work with. I would not hesitate to recommend her to my friends and family.”

“… After winning the business your professional advice and counsel, pricing strategy, negotiating skill, calendar management, attention to detail and sense of urgency all combined to produce an excellent result in a short period of time in a tough real estate market.

Your recommendations and timely access to home improvement resources added value and demand for the home. Your pricing strategy resulted in eight initial offers, all of which were above the asking price. Your negotiating skill enabled me to make multiple counter offers to the top bids, and an even higher final offer.

The overall result was a premium price that was offered and accepted within six days of going on the market – excellent work”

“…Once we decided you were the right agent, we handed you the keys to my mother’s home and drove back to Oregon. Your organization and management skills kicked in, and utilizing your vast network of vendors, you managed to prepare the home in a remarkably short period of time. The end result was a welcome surprise to both of us.

Because of the fast project management, you were able to get the home on the market within 30 days. But the most incredible part was the number of offers you were able to generate because of your pricing strategy, and the final sale was so much higher than either one of us could have imagined. The escrow was so smooth – no problems whatsoever! Thank you for making what could have been a nightmare of a process very easy for us. We would highly recommend you!”

“I want to thank you for your amazing efforts in the sale of our mother’s property in Palo Alto. All aspects of the process were done in a timely and professional manner. The true fruit of your labors was concluding the sale at approximately 30% above the listing price.

On behalf of myself and my siblings, I want to express our gratitude for all of your efforts, wonderful strategy and execution. I would be more than pleased to offer a personal reference for your services.”

“Words can’t express how much we have enjoyed working with you. We deeply appreciate all of your hard work and thoughtfulness during a very difficult process for us. We raised our children in this home and feel a deep sentimental attachment. I watched the builders every day and sometimes helped them.

The care you took to help us prepare our home so that we would not have to do anything but pack was a true blessing. Once our home was ready, you made sure that the marketing brought in all of the possible buyers very quickly.

We know it is because of you that we received so many offers. But that was not the end of it. Having you negotiate on our behalf was a pleasure to watch. Our final offer was so much over our asking price, and we know this is mainly due to your skills.

During the entire process you treated us like family and held our hands through this very emotional time. We have grown so close to you that is hard to say good bye.”

“You kept me moving toward my ultimate goal and gently pushed me when I needed it. You are the ultimate professional. You have a full understanding of the Los Altos housing market. Your suggestions and strategy on pricing our home was perfect. You worked very hard on our open house weekend and followed up with all those who expressed an interest in purchasing our home. You worked hard at getting a great price and a free rent back for me. This was a tremendous help to me, it enabled us to stay in the home until the children finished the school year.

It was a quick close with no unexpected hiccups due to your constant vigilance. I have enjoyed working with you and getting to know you better. I appreciate all you have done for me and my children through this whole process. I look forward to working with you in finding a new home for me and my children.”
