You're in good company.

It took a long time for my husband and I to find the house that we were excited about but Pat Smarto was very patient with us. She was always there to show us the properties we wanted to see and always available to answer any questions we might have. When we finally selected the house we purchased, Pat assisted us through negotiating the contract, inspections, and finally the closing.

Mrs. Smarto is the most knowledgeable, professional real estate agent I've ever worked with! She let the house sell itself and followed up with every concern I had. She expertly pointed me in the right direction for all my home buyer needs through the entire experience. This agent has set the standard for all other agents.

Michelle was quick to call, text, and email me. When I told her we were just starting out and still a few months out from purchasing, she helped us with initial steps. She was never pushy. We felt like she treated us like her own kids — wanted us to understand the process and genuinely listened to our needs. Seriously, Michelle is awesome. She definitely became family.

Best experience ever, especially since I was not present in the State for the process. Very military friendly and I would highly recommend to anyone. Will definitely use again when I sell this house.

We very much enjoyed working with Pat. When we met up with Pat it always felt like meeting a friend. We appreciated that Pat let the house speak for itself rather than trying to push a list of “selling points”. We had a pretty long wish list and went through several attempts to buy a home and Pat stuck with us through it all.

Pat's sincerity and candor in guiding me through the process was superior. Not too much hype — an honest, down-to-earth approach. Exceeded my expectations and delivered on everything discussed at the start! I give her my highest recommendation!

Patricia listened to exactly what we were looking for when assisting us with buying a home and made selling our home as easy as the process can be! I would recommend her and Lakes Realty to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

I was contacted every time there was a showing. Always found out the comments made. Phone contact was easy.

I would go back to Pat and Lakes Realty right away if I was looking for something else. They are also the first company I would recommend to friends or family.

Thanks Pat for your patience with our questions. It was a great sale — it took less than 24 hours!
