Know your number.

Most buyers worry about hidden costs, bidding wars, and falling for a money pit. I'll tell you exactly what a home is worth before you make an offer, so you can buy with confidence.
“Mid-mod vibes, mountain views, a huge yard for the dog, and close to work, all in 30 days. This week we got the keys. Thank you, Patten!”
— Ben & Kelly, Buyers, Greater Ogden
“Patten helped me find my first rental property. It's been rented since day one.”
— Don Bellon, Ogden
Much of the stress in buying a home comes from not knowing what's coming next. I'll tell you exactly what to expect at every step, so nothing catches you off guard.

I've got a good eye for renovations. Walk a house with me and I'll tell you what's just cosmetic, what's going to hurt, and what's a money pit dressed up to look pretty. You'll know what you're really getting into before you fall for it.

I'll pull the comps, read the market, and tell you straight what a place should actually sell for. No getting swept up, no overpaying because the listing photos were flattering. Just a clear number you can trust going in.

Good homes go quick around here. I'll have you ready to act the day it hits the market, with an offer that's strong without throwing money you don't need to. That's the difference between winning the house and watching someone else get it.

About Patten
I moved to Ogden after living in San Francisco, DC, Miami, and Mississippi. Out of everywhere I've lived, this is the one that felt like home, and I haven't looked back. Before real estate I spent 20 years in marketing, which means I think differently about how to position a home, attract the right buyers, and tell a story that actually lands. I also have a good eye for renovations. I can tell you what that outdated kitchen is really going to cost before you fall in love with it. I'm a member of the Homeworks Property Lab team. If you want to buy or sell in Greater Ogden, I'd love to be your person.
