s a first-time buyer, I couldn't be happier with Patty. From the beginning, she was prepared and
knowledgeable. On our first appointment,
she brought us both a package full of information that was
very helpful when we were looking at homes.
She listened to what we wanted and only showed us
houses with our top "wants". Patty was the one who found the house we ultimately bought. I was out
of
town, but she thought that my fiancé should see it right away and she was right. When he saw it
he called me right away and I made an appointment with Patty to see it as soon as I returned. Once
we decided to buy, Patty was so helpful. She recommended a loan agent who was very helpful and
worked fast. She kept in touch with us and answered the many questions we had. The sale went fast
and Patty was on our side the entire time. We are new to the area and she recommended us a great
electrician, locksmith, and
interior designer. Patty did not disappear after the sale.
We are still in
contact and when I need advice on anything about our home she is always there to help. Couldn't be
happier

I have been especially happy working several times with patty She is
well versed in all aspects of the
real estate market!
She did lots of county trips checking on property lines septic permits and zoning
when she sold my 5-acre property. It saved me so much time and trouble and sold my property in a
very fast time with wonderful results.
She also helped get inspections, comps, and held open
houses on my mother's small 55 plus neighborhood house and got it sold fast
also.
I've
recommended her
to 4 of my personal friends and all have been delighted with her
service.
I re
commend patty highly to everyone, for buying or selling all size properties

Happy Clients Say
......
I'm not one to write many reviews.
First of all
, I probably expect a pretty high level of service, so it is
hard to be impressed.
But second, who has the time to sit down and do it? Well, in this case, I made
the time because Patty Marken is that good.
I found Patty originally through the referrals o
f friends
who hired her to buy/sell property in Sonoma County.
I was looking for a 2d home, didn't have much
time to look, and gave Patty my wish list and price goals.
Patty focused in on what I was looking for
immediately and showed me a number of prope
rties in my price range w/ different amenities so I
could be quickly educated. I ended up buying something I saw the first day
-
but because we
(unexpectedly) ended up in a negotiation with the seller's bank, the process (through no fault of
Patty's) was drawn out and unpredictable.
Patty guided me thru all of it with outstanding focus and
effort. The thing I really like about Patty
-
and why I can't recommend her highly enough
-
is that she
is completely honest, trustworthy, no pressure, and really on her
client's side.
Because of her
efforts, I know I got a good deal
-
which is an awfully hard thing to say in any real estate
market.
She also knows Sonoma in/out and will make sure you have the most conscientious
inspectors and find the property right for
you.
During closing, she even made sure to give me the
numbers for the gas and water companies to get my service turned on, got me an estimate from a
vendor for some light work on my new house and has offered to provide further referrals if
needed.
Patt
y made me feel like I was her highest priority at all times.
I have already passed her
number on to many friends, but I thought she has more than earned many times over the few

"Patty was my agent in Sonoma Ca, She is very professional and I
highly recommend her. It took less than 30 days
s for my house to
sell. She kept
me well informed and did a great job. Anyone selling
a house, Patty is the one you want."

once again, Patty Marken has the personal integrity and knowledge of the market, and the ability to
understand my needs that make her invaluable in my purchasing any property in Sonoma. I have
purchased property all over the United States and Patty Marken ranks at the very top of her profession.
At this point, I have purchased five properties with Patty Marken's assistance in Sonoma
--
The majority
of them million dollar plus properties. In each case, Patty Marken brought the properties to me and
negotiated them so quickly and so deftly that I
won every property I wanted to buy. I would not think of
buying property in Sonoma without Patty's assistance. I recommend Patty Markin without reservation.
