Peter Millar Chairman and CEO Scott Mahoney described his experience working with Patrick as follows: “Patrick immediately understood our needs and intuitively pointed us in the right direction, answering all of our questions throughout the process. His professionalism, knowledge of the Sea Island real estate market, and his ability to build genuine relationships is unparalleled! Not only did he find exactly the home we want but has continued to be a friend and valuable resource for many other needs. These are just a few of many reasons why I would recommend Patrick to anyone looking on the island.” Dick Williams, Retired General Manager of the Cincinnati Reds, had similar praise to share: “I have had a long-standing personal friendship with Patrick. However, that was
not the only reason I turned to him for advice when I began looking for a second home on Sea Island. He and his wife were both raised on Sea Island, so he has a very unique perspective to offer on the subtle nuances of the various properties and locations that came up for sale during our search. He and I had numerous conversations about what would fit for our family, and he was committed to making sure we found it.” He added, significantly, “The pleasant surprise was how he stayed in touch after the transaction and made sure we got connected to all the right professionals to begin working on our new house project. I am happy to recommend Patrick as a resource.” These examples illustrate what Patrick has constantly emphasized: the importance of providing an amazing client experience that includes consistent communication and follow-up even after a real estate transaction is complete.
