In this challenging housing market, we only had to go thru 2 other realtors before we found Pat Rabelo. After 9 months of having our house on the market, Pat sold our house in 1 month. His expertise using
today's technology, and his communication are the best! Now we can go forward with our lives.

It has been my pleasure working with Pat Rabelo, over the past year and a half, to purchase my house. He has been the ideal agent for me and I have come to regard him as a friend as well as a professional. His dedicated, hard-working ethic and attention to details took much of the stress off of me despite the complications we encountered.
Pat maintained an optimistic and positive attitude despite having 2 transactions cancel as a result of issues beyond our control. My transactions were even more difficult because I lived over an hour away from the home I was purchasing in Manteca( On behalf of my elderly parents).
Over this extended period, as the opportunity to place an offer would appear certain, Pat accommodated showing properties to our large group on several occasions by renting a van. He was thoughtful and courteous to my family members who came to know him well.
Many times Pat showed his creativity with contract negotiations and responses. He attended all inspections, and was as careful as if it was his own home. He always kept me informed. And for my convenience, he drove to my office in Danville, CA (more than once) to obtain signatures and review contract information. He was resourceful in handling tough contract cancellations when contingencies had to be relied upon. His organization and thoroughness helped resolve some difficult issues. Thanks to Pat's diligence, we were successful in finding and closing on the perfect home! Moreover, because of Pat's expertise, good nature and excellent follow through, I heartily recommend Pat Rabelo to anyone purchasing or selling a home!

From personal experience, I am able to strongly recommend Pat Rabelo to anyone seeking quality realtor services.
Initially, I intended to sell my own property but several informal meetings with Pat convinced me otherwise. Pat correctly pointed out the complicated dynamics of real estate transactions in today's market and offered his experience and expertise.
After retaining Pat, it took him only five days to deliver an acceptable buyer and reasonable offer. However, this is the point where Pat's work began and not where it ended.
The buyers were quite demanding and had the assistance of a seasoned professional agent of their own. The sale became rather involved with various counteroffers, contingencies, upgrades and repairs. We also needed an unusually long escrow.
Pat kept control of all the issues while keeping me involved and apprised throughout the process. Communication was continuous and some of our many meetings were well beyond "normal" business hours. I was particularly pleased with Pat's "hands on" approach. He led all negotiations, arranged every inspection and retained/monitored all repair contractors. He was also able to manage and demystify the abundant amount of paperwork inherent in home selling.
Without exception, Pat successfully handled each facet of my transaction. Therefore, I am able to recommend him in the most favorable terms to anyone needing realator services.
In conclusion, I want to point out two additional matters. First, the bottom line on selling one's home comes down to net profit. Pat delived more money on my home than expected. Second, I had some concerns about the commission costs I had to pay. In the end though, I felt like Pat deserved more pay than he received for the work he did and results he delivered.

Patrick Rabelo is the type of realtor that everyone hopes to get. From start to finish Pat paid great attention to detail to make sure that everything went as smooth as possible. Patrick was very willing to do everything he could to ensure that I was comfortable throughout the process. He worked well with the other realtor and was very professional. Pat is honest, up front and very knowledgeable about his work. If I was going to buy or sell another house I would not hesitate to call Patrick.

Working with Pat was really a great experience. We really enjoyed working with him. I think what really appealed to us about Pat was his sincere approach. He’s very friendly and attentive. He really looked out for our best interests on the purchase of our new property. He has also kept in touch with us even after the close of escrow. He’s great and I would definitely refer him to anyone whom is looking for a realtor.
Sincerely,
Pamela and Marc
