Diana and Cory were great to work with. They were professional, responsive and knowledgeable. They listened to our wish list for our next home and were able to find a home that was a perfect fit! There were 4 offers on the home and Diana expertly advised us on how to move forward with our offer and counter offers. We would not hesitate to refer our family and friends to the Patterson Team

We loved working with Diana and Cory to sell our home. The selling process can be overwhelming, but Diana and Cory were there for us every step of the way. They were extremely responsive, detail-oriented, and went above and beyond to get our house ready to sell. We had a million questions throughout the process, and they answered them all. In addition to getting us a great offer on our home, they managed to make the whole process fun. Their fun and caring personalities really shine through and make the selling process enjoyable, which I didn't think was possible until I met them. I highly recommend working with them - their skills are top-notch.

I would highly recommend Cory and Diana if you are buying or selling a home. We worked with them in both capacities. We were searching when the market was hot. They did a great job understanding our competition and making sure that we made a sound offer that we felt comfortable with. They were also great at negotiating and keeping our “hand” close to the chest. They stayed up late working on our behalf and we got our dream home.
Then it came to selling our current house. They gave us great advice on where to spend money to really make our house stand out from the others. The pictures were top notch, and the staging was beautiful! They even came over and mowed our lawn while we were trying to get settled into our new place. Our house went on the market right as interest rates were rising and people were starting to hold back. They did a great job helping us navigate through the nerves and stress. We ended up getting an offer within two weeks and couldn’t be happier.
In a few words, I would say they are honest, dependable, hard working and kind! I love that part of the money they received as commission went straight back to the community. So selfless.

Diana was an all-star for our home purchase! We started off slow. She was patient with us while we browsed and kept a pulse on what we were looking for. When we decided to hit the ground running, she made us feel like we were the most important clients in the world. We found a house that was close but not exact, and Diana encouraged us to follow our gut and be patient. We are SO grateful for her advice because we found our dream home shortly thereafter. Her insight, honesty, and knowledge turned our dream into a reality. Diana and Cory are not a gimmick, they are true professionals.

Diana was extremely helpful, open, transparent, and reliable through the whole process. Our family had a unique dynamic and selling our home was imperative. She made what could have been a difficult and stressful situation as smooth possible. Diana definitely has a passion for what she does and I highly recommend her and her team.

Diana and Cory were amazing to work with to sell our home just as the market was changing this summer. Such a stressful time they made seem easy. The services they provided including the staging, photos and open houses, to name a few, drew a lot of attention to our property. They were always available for questions and walked us through the whole process. We can’t thank them enough and we would recommend them to anyone buying or selling a house.

Diana is a wonderful agent that listens and delivers on her word. As first time buyers we were apprehensive about the process but Diana guided us the entire way through. She answered all of our questions in easy to understand terms and never hesitated to explain things further, if needed. She was always available (any time of day, even on weekends) for any of our questions and frequently gave us updates along the way. If you're looking for someone who is supportive, Diana is there 100%. She will back you up with all of your wants/needs/desires like they were her own. When the time comes to sell our home we will not hesitate to work with Diana again as we are confident she will get us what we deserve, and more. Diana is respectful, professional, and caring - everything you are looking for in a real estate agent.

The services Diana provide was invaluable. I have not sold property in 25 years. She helped us understand the process and advised us what we could and should not update to impact our selling price. She provided all the vendors with estimates so we could make our choices. We sat back and let Diana do what she does best. She staged the condo, did an open house and came back with 10 offers in 3 days which were all above our asking price by 25K. We picked one that was 35K above asking price. There were several that were higher but Diana shared some of the red flags that might impact closing. Bottom line is that she has the experience, knowledge and communication skills that will make your real estate transaction the easiest one you will ever have.

Diana helped my husband and I purchase our new home, and then sell our old home once we were settled. We are beyond thankful for crossing paths with Diana in the most unique way while we were looking at a local open house. From the moment we met, her caring personality, professionalism and attention to detail made the overwhelming process much simpler as she walked with us every step of the way during both our purchase and sale. She was a wonderful advocate for us during the purchase of our new home, she even took time to come visit us on our moving day to make sure we had all we needed. At one point we weren’t sure if we wanted to sell our old home before spending a few years being landlords. To help us decide, Diana took the time to put together a portfolio of information about the house so we had the most information possible to help make an educated and informed decision that was best for us; ultimately deciding to sell with Diana as our agent. She was honest, direct, compassionate, timely, and answered our hundreds of questions with care and thoroughness. We were so impressed with the variety of ways she thought of to market our home, even taking care to create social media content to ensure that we reached a variety of potential buyers and marked our home to the fullest potential. She helped us coordinate a few contractors to do a few projects at the home prior to selling and her recommendations were always just as professional and expeditious as she is. We are very glad to recommend her as a real estate agent, and now also as a neighbor and as a friend.

Diana was very patient with us throughout the process of finding and purchasing our first home. We weren't really looking seriously at first and my husband and I couldn't really agree on the type of home or land we both wanted, but Diana stuck with us and showed us a handful of options. Just when we were going to put our search on hold because we had a baby on the way, Diana found us the perfect home! We had to move fast and Diana was able to get us in to view the home. We made an offer the next morning, and she walked us through the process. Since it was our first time, we didn't know the process well. Diana guided us through. Looking back, we wished we had a little more time to review, research, and understand what we were doing. We were a little rushed, but understandably we needed to move fast if we wanted this house. Diana gave us advice and walked us through all the paperwork and negotiations. That night, even with multiple bids, our offer was accepted. Diana stuck with us through the entire process, from the inspection, to guiding us to ask the right questions, making sure we checked all the boxes--and she even showed up to the septic inspection when I wasn't able to attend to ensure everything went well. All this happened at the peak of the covid-19 pandemic, we were able to close and move right before the mandatory shelter-in-place order for King County. Diana met with us, called us, emailed and texted us throughout the entire ordeal. We were grateful for her dedication, patience, honesty, and overall care she took to ensure we were happy in our new home. She even gifted us beautiful welcome home kits that included everything we needed to stay safe during the pandemic. Thank you, Diana!

Diana and Cory are a great team. They are genuine, reliable, professional and communicative. They listen and pay attention to your preferences and plan a uniqe strategy accordingly. From consultation to closing the house(even beyond closing) they make sure that you have access to everything you need. As first time home buyers we felt a bit scared in this crazy sellers market. Team Patterson made sure that we have the guidance and support throughout the process. In an environment everything changes constantly, having an experienced and agile team with you keeps you one step ahead of your competitors. We were able to go under contract on our house within 5 weeeks since the day we met Team Patterson.

Diana helped us win our first home in the craziest of markets. We were able to beat out another offer that was at least 6% more over asking than ours because of Diana’s perseverance and promptness in communicating with the seller, early and often. We felt we were in good hands with Diana’s guidance and expertise.

Diana went above and beyond in helping us sell our home during the 2020 COVID craziness. She coordinated an incredible over 60 showings in less than 5 days, all by appointment due to COVID, and guided us through the 13 offers we received, ultimately exceeding our expected sale price by a large margin.
She kept us well informed through the entire process from listing and staging to closing, and answered all of our questions quickly and thoroughly. We very much appreciated Diana's professionalism and personal involvement in the sale of our home, and highly recommend her.

Diana was absolutely amazing throughout our buying experience! We met her by chance at an open house and her genuine personality allowed us to give further consideration to buying a house. She really took the time to understand our needs and tailored a search that helped us land on our perfect place! I was so impressed that she never made this about a commission, but all about the possibility of finding the ideal place for a family. She helped us carefully weigh our options and never tried to pressure us. When the time came, she helped us make intelligent offers, source contractors, and guided us through every step. After closing, she continued to check in with us and offer any assistance needed. She will be our agent for life and I will take the time to tell anyone looking for an agent!!

I couldn't speak highly enough of Diana. We've been friends for years and I chose her not just because of that aspect but because I know I could trust her with the selling process. My Mom and I couldn't have been more pleased!!! From the start to finish, she was there every step of the way. Our situation was a bit of a challenge since I live across the country but she was very patient. The time difference made it hard to sync our schedule as well but she was very responsive and pro-active on communicating with us. In the end, we were very happy with the outcome. We just recently sold our condo and all thanks to her for being such a pro. She was very knowledgeable and I could tell she takes pride of her career. As a friend and a realtor, she never influenced our decisions and helped us through the entire process. Very professional, Diana went above and beyond!!!

Diana went above and beyond to help me purchase the right home just for me. She took me to look at several houses in various areas. When I found the one I wanted, she encouraged me with notes and gifts every step of the way. I was overwhelmed with her kindness, generosity, and professionalism. I appreciate her local, process, responsiveness, and negotiation skills throughout the process. If I ever buy a home again, she would be my first choice.

We had such an amazing buying experience with her, always willing to show us houses on times that worked well for our schedule and as first time home buyers we saw dozens of homes! Here we are 15 months later and she still supports us consistently sending us updates and letting us know she’s here for us! We will definitely use her for future purchases and the sale of our home some day!

Diana and Cory did an amazing job in securing our first condo. I texted Diana on a Wednesday night that I found a nice place online and she set up a showing the very next day! We fell in love with the place and right away started working on our first offer. Diana and Cory diligently gave us a lesson on how to negotiate and all the steps moving forward with the home buying process. Our offer got accepted shortly after that, and Diana was helpful in providing a referral for a home inspection. Diana went above and beyond in making sure everything went smoothly from start to beginning. Diana was always available and checked in with us to see if we have any questions or if she can provide any additional resources to us. At closing she provided us a beautiful housewarming gift that included a chew toy for our puppy. We truly appreciate that the Patterson team was here for us for such a big milestone in our lives. I highly recommend Diana and Cory for anyone looking to buy a home in this seller’s market. They are a remarkable and professional team!

From meeting Diana we could tell she was very interested in the process of trying to help with selling our home. We quickly learned she is kind, personable, and listens to her clients. She is very caring along the way as this can be a stressful process and considered all possibilities with us. Diana’s recommendations for the sale of our home really helped steer us in the right direction for the market we were in. She had a whole team of people she could recommend and trusted (sometimes the hardest part) who could assist on various projects and this allowed to us follow the proposed timeline effortlessly. Everything came together with all the recommended contractors and all were pleasant to work with. Diana kept us fully informed throughout the entire process which we greatly appreciated. Diana demonstrated a great deal of professionalism and expertise in the real estate business. Absolutely would not hesitate to work with Diana again! 5 stars without a doubt!!!!

I can’t think of words great enough to describe our experience with Diana. She sold our home recently and went above and beyond expectations. With a baby, pandemic, and our busy work schedules she did everything she could to make our lives easier. She was calm, collected, patient, and understanding. Above all, she was on our side 100%, and it never felt like it was about the sale of a home. It truly just felt like a friend helping us out. And that is excellence - and what makes her stand out above the rest. I am truly grateful for meeting her. You will not regret selling or buying with Diana. We are Team Diana for life!

We just had a wonderful experience with Diana Patterson, both buying and selling a home! We were hoping to move my parents closer to us in Snohomish. Boy was she the right choice, we had a conference call to provide her with exactly what we were looking for. We’ve owned many houses, mostly rentals, so this isn’t a new process to us. Diana helped us select the best few and after only a few weeks she found us the most amazing 1.5 year old house. She was on top of every detail, even when the selling agent wouldn’t help. Ours closed 30 days later, at asking price, it was a GREAT BUY in a market where homes were selling $100K over asking price!
We then had to prepare to sell their old home in Redmond, and here’s where Diana especially shined. She came up with a plan to do certain things that would add the most value with only the best ROI. She had a number of people who could perform the tasks and do it for a reasonable cost and a short time frame. That’s tough these days! The house looked great and we ended up accepting an offer nearly 20% over asking.
If you want to purchase or sell a home, Just call Diana, and now her husband too Cory Patterson, The Patterson Team!

Diana and Cory were able to explain the nuances of each step to us in broad as well as detailed terms to help us understand and put us at ease.

For generations, the homebuying process never really changed. The seller would try to estimate the market value of the home and tack on a little extra to give themselves some negotiating room. That figure would become the listing price of the house.
Today’s homebuyers are faced with a strong sellers’ market, which means there are a lot of active buyers competing for a relatively low number of available homes. As a result, it’s essential to understand how to make a confident and competitive offer on your dream home.
In today’s housing market, it seems harder than ever to find a home to buy. Before the health crisis hit us a year ago, there was already a shortage of homes for sale. When many homeowners delayed their plans to sell at the same time.
