"
I listed (to sell) our house in Plymouth. Michigan with Mr. Bartley Patterson, then we relocated out of state to east coast. I had few concerns about the selling process since I was moving out of state, but Bart is very prompt in keeping close communication via phone, emails, text messages and e-documents sign etc, and above all at all time of the day to keep connected and clarifying our Q/A. It was such a relief and some time I would sincerely refer his first name initial 'B' as in BEST Patterson (a way of expressing my heartfelt Thanks). Mr. Best (Bartley) Patterson is extremely knowledgeable about real estate, market condition, legal process and very professional in communication with clarity. This was an outstanding experience to work with Mr. Patterson. Thanks for the opportunity for feedback.

Support on finding the right house for us.
It was great working with Bart, never any pressure to buy constantly pointed out the good and "Bad" of homes even if we did not see it, to ensure we made the right decision. Stuck by our side and supported all negotiations. We will definitely work with him to sell our current home as well.
