About Patten
The agent who chose Ogden over everywhere else.
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 I can tell you what that outdated kitchen is really going to cost before you fall in love with it.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. Serving Ogden, North Ogden, Pleasant View, South Ogden, South Weber, Roy, Riverdale, Unita, West Haven, Layton, Clearfield, Eden, Huntsville, Wolf Creek, Nordic Valley, Mountain Green, the greater Ogden Valley, Salt Lake City, and everything in between.
